This is a desperate attempt to equate things that are not equal. Last week I said it was snowing. If one looks out the window now, it is an improper use of language to determine that I was wrong or lying. Saul was King of Israel. David was king of Israel. Solomon was king of Israel. How do you...

Says the verse. If Jesus said go baptize in the name of Moe, Larry and Curly, this does not mean these 3 comprise God or whether or not they are equal.

There is a story of man having a legion of spirits, meaning 1,000. Clearly, we are influenced by many in our life, family, friend, teachers, etc. Why does it matter the number?

False Alternative. Knowledge generally increases with time. The whole subject of history is different from journalism. We know more about historical figures today than the masses who flocked to hear them speak.

That is how it is earned. If grace has a requirement, then meeting that requirement is earned. Said differently, except for all the exceptions, there are no exceptions. Just word play. If grace had no earned element, universalism would be proper doctrine.

Not a good translation like I cited.

LOL if you are not a universalist, then you are twisting what grace is - at least, not acknowledging the limits of grace.

Again, then universalism, right?

The Bible. It came from the Bible. 1 John 1:8-10 - as cited. You should read - and understand - the Word of God some time.

LOL. A lack of universalism would be a lack of grace.

I came across this today. Notice the conditional construct of the sentence. 8 If we go around bragging, “We have no sin,” then we are fooling ourselves and are strangers to the truth. 9 But if we own up to our sins, God shows that He is faithful and just by forgiving us of our sins and...

I saw a cute meme today ... a pic of a baby wearing a onesy. It read, "They did not stay 6 feet apart." :-)

Woah! The hostility here is palpable. Purgatory is a great subject. Shouldn't it be another thread?

Lily, Please don't do that. I take it as a given that anything you post is from the heart. I don't sense you are a theoretical Christian but one who attempts to earnestly practices it. If you get confused about anything, I pray you consider this forum a safe place to open your heart in sharing...

Why do you ask questions that were JUST answered?

Yup. The only alternative is universalism. Are you a universalist?

6 The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, King of Israel, who paid their ransom, has this to say: Eternal One: I am at the beginning and will be at the end. There is no God except for Me Isaiah 44:6 (Voice) Nathanael: 49 Teacher, You are the One—God’s own Son and Israel’s King...

None of them are equal. Nice Appeal to Strawman.

This is a good analysis.
