I am not saying trials are not to be expected. They are. God has purpose in them irregardless of whether or not you see yourself as passing or failing in them. Concerning your crowns, what crowns do you deserve? Why do you think we lay them at Jesus feet? Because even in our...

It is not a question of being worthy to be a Jew. The point is God chose them and will fulfill His promises to them. Yes, the Jews rejected Jesus Christ, and they have and continue to pay for it. That does not affect God fulfilling His promises to them. Stranger

There was no death before sin entered the world. That included man and animal. There would have been no accidental falling or drowning. Stranger

You offer nothing but rambling. Have another beer. It's on me. Stranger

What does (1 Tim. 3:16) and (2 Tim. 1:10) have to do with this discussion? What does (Gen. 1:1) have to do with this discussion? Of your list, the only one I see that deals with rewards for trials, is (James 1:12) and (Rev. 2:10). So, before we go further, do you admit the book of James is...

You will be waiting a long time. Healing comes from God. If God does not want to heal, He won't. You say you lost a limb and have prayed for many years but have not been healed. What a surprise that is, with your lack of faith and denial of Jesus Christ. And yet you want healing. God is...

Give Scripture to show why you think that. Stranger

Is this your proof that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God and Saviour. By this verse you have discounted the validity of the Bible and Jesus Christ? Stranger

What makes you think that? Stranger

Well, crowns are not the reward for this. I don't deny God puts the believer through trials and tests. It is not a pass/fail program as I said. God knows what is there. He does it to reveal it to you and to then get the desired results. Stranger

Appreciate also your encouraging words. Stranger

As I said, you cannot use your world's logic or tests on the Christian faith. You don't have the tools to do so. Go ahead and stay in the physical realm and do your experiments. But when it comes to the things of God, don't try to apply your logic or experiments to that. And, millions of...

Appreciate your encouraging words. Stranger

Getting crowns is not about passing a test. It is reward for something done in the Spirit for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. Stranger

Well, though they probably had more sense than that in their unfallen state, you don't know that they would have died. You are assuming they would have died. Death came by sin. Stranger

You have placed God's bringing His people through various trails or tests in a pass/fail scenario. I disagree with that. It is never a pass/fail program. Whether we do well or not so well the end result is what God wanted. It reveals to us something He already knows. It creates growth...

The Christian has an ability or access of knowledge or knowing that no other has. It comes from God via His Spirit to the believer in Christ who has the Spirit of Christ. Thus the Christian can 'reason' and 'know'. But it is not based on the worlds method of reason and knowing. It is not...

Yes, I know. But you are saying they were not immortal. So, what could have killed them. I am saying they were immortal prior to the fall. So before the fall, what could have killed Adam and Eve. Stranger

I believe both to be accurate statements of the Christian faith. Stranger

I didn't say I don't care to be right. I do. But with God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible, I know I am right. Actually it is all on God. I am simply reacting to your statements. It is not about trying to one up on anyone. The fact is this. You may be able to win the argument. I may lose...
