So, you think that raping three women and cutting their throats is right because God is a God of love and will let the rapist get away with it just for saying, "I'm sorry Lord, I won't do it again?"

Even Paul, who was and is the most influential New Testament teacher and apostle, had to continually examine himself and buffet his body so that he did not end up being a hypocrite and a castaway. If someone like Paul had to do that all the time and said that we should "examine ourselves to see...

We need to pray for them that the Holy Spirit will convict them of sin, righteousness and judgment to come, give them the true gospel, and trust the power of God in it to give them true salvation through belief in it. There are professing Christians who think they are good, but still have habit...

He never made it easy for people to believe in Him. He taught right from the Ten Commandments, and He said it is more than just following the rules in their outward conduct, but their righteousness had to be greater than that of the Pharisees who were so strict they followed the law blameless...

For sure! Even worse than that. Even if a person looks at another person with sexual desire is an adulterer at heart and if unsaved will suffer the same penalty as the person who actually did the act.

You haven't really read my posts about the gospel, have you? No Christian worker in their right mind, unless they are a zealot, would say that right up front to an unsaved person. That is the very reason why many unsaved people are "ruined" for any further gospel approach! We don't put the...

There seems to be disagreement between some groups of believers in how the gospel should be shared. One group says that we need to show that God is a God of love, give them Bill Bight's Steps to Peace With God, and everything will be all right after saying just a little "sinners" prayer...

Absolutely! These mega-churches that are flouting the isolation guideliness will have to answer to God on the day of judgment for why through their selfishness and lack of love for the unsaved, that multitudes of unsaved people have gone and are going to hell before their time after...

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."(Revelation 21:8).

That's the problem. God is a God of justice as well as a God of love. What would you think of a loving court judge who allowed someone who raped three women and cut their throats to go free because the judge loved him? You would be the first one to say, "Where's the justice in that?" So, if...

If you are calling anyone a liar, then you are questioning their faith, because no unrepentant liars will inherit the kingdom of God. Also, I don't see "accusation" as one of the fruit of the Spirit.

I haven't commented in this thread concerning President Trump's action over the crisis, other than the sarcastic remark that I did make in connection with the rake-off of cash from US hospital fees. He had just the same attitude toward the crisis as the leaders of Italy, Spain, the UK and...

"you can't see past your lies and partisan bias." What's this then? Did you know that a liar will end up in the Lake of Fire? So, are you giving his Christian faith the benefit of the doubt? Are you really?

I have had extensive conversations and debates with him on the forum and although I disagree with his world-view origin foundation, I find that he is civil and respectful to deal with and because God's knows the hearts and I don't, I give him the benefit of the doubt concerning his Christian faith.

That's the problem. The law has done its job when a person has turned to Christ. If you apply the law to Christian believers, you are implying that their faith in Christ is not enough and they have to add works in order to continue to be accepted of God. I am not surprised that people would...

Of course, for someone who doesn't believe the gospel, Christianity is foolish and irrational.

When Moses had a headache, he went up into the mountain and got two tablets.

You see, the principle of revelation doesn't figure to the rational mind - that a God we can't see can give an insight from the written text of the Bible that we can't understand clearly without that insight; and that insight can come only to genuine converted believers who have the Holy...

I am convinced of my position, but I get a headache when I start banging my head against a brick wall!! :-)

Yehren, in his post, explained it much better than I could. Way down here in NZ I see things upside down!!
