God loves you....but you are simply unknown to your true self and identity...created by God.

Can you say "Christian terrorist!" ;)

In the end no apologetic towards faith in or love of God will suffice as a determining factor to kindle a faith or love in another person. We believe and love because we were first loved by Him.

A lot of times a Christian will only understand a limited amount and even get things wrong based on scale. For instance there are those who believe in creeds....which has nothing whatsoever to do with faith. A creed is to faith as trainspotting is to transportation. Now this will come as news or...

How do you even know what nonsense is? What is the chemical formulation in your brain that makes something nonsense? Who and what are you...a rock? an accident of nature? What can you possibly know?

Anybody can say they are anything. If a person picks up a violin and makes terrible noises with it....will you give up on music?

That is the only passage that suggests that people can survive hell fire...but these are actual worshipers of the devil. All other passages show that people die.

There is cause to believe any number of things....from a human standpoint. But God is only perceived in the whole counsel of the bible brought together. The fires are eternal.....but the torment is not (for people). This is called "the second death." We are to fear God who can destroy both body...

The evidence is so overwhelming that a blind man could see it....but God is so wise that He can hide in plain sight so that only the blind are able to see. The wisdom of God is so great that many people can't see the obvious.

God is merciful....eternal torture is a myth....an old stratagem to get people in the pews. God is love.

People underestimate God and the depth of His calling. It's like the elephant in the dark room analogy. Everybody tries to judge God and the Christian life by the little teeny bit of experience they have....or lack thereof. Errors ensue. Add pride to that....and you have the history of the church,

The religious/secular dichotomy is artificial. It is a false dichotomy. Jesus came to mankind as a real person....not a religious figure or apparition. Being spiritual in Christ is in real time...in reality. When a person is healed by Jesus... is it secular or religious? Of course neither...

AHH! Exactly. And to those who are called into life. (as opposed to they who are perishing)

That smell of Christ is to some the smell of life....but to others it is the smell of death. It depends what we are smelling with...what KIND of faculty we are using.

Christianity is only reduced to the level of a religion by making it an ideology....rather than it being the power of life and light in the Lord for mankind. So then only the devil himself (and they who seek to justify themselves in their carnal state) is involved in making it a religion. On...

But that's because their kingdom IS of this world. The challenge of people who claim to be the Lord's is where their weapons are? We can tell the true habitat of a creature by where he goes when he is in danger. A bird will fly away...a mole will dig a hole. A worldly person will seek a...

The answer is not a gun.....for a Christian. We don't see guns as weapons to use against people. We have actual spiritual weapons...that save people, not kill people. A person who thinks that killing someone is good...is not a Christian. That's why Paul says the "the weapons of OUR warfare are...

Eternal life is a kind of life that we can enter into today by faith. It is the life OF Jesus entered into by the faith OF Jesus. But the cost of this is high....we must be willing to also bear His dying. It isn't for nothing that the holy of holies contained a "coffin" (ark). There is no life...

Is there also a secret handshake of Jesus? I think not. Open hostility is better than secret love.

God isn't legalistic so you need not worry about that. But having said that...even Jesus was baptized to fulfill all that was required of Him. (and for other reasons as well) I think out of devotion and humility you could look into it. Do it as unto the Lord and not the group or person you are...
