You don't recognize the contradiction.

You still don’t get it. I’m not saying anything like God is not able to save whoever he wants. I’m saying humility prevents me from claiming I know with certainty who he’s going to save.

It's really that simple. @Debp has started many threads sadly showing this is not the case in the UK.

I'm reminded that God left the naming, the categorizing the animals for Adam. Horse kind. Cat kind. Lizard kind. Bird kind. Another category is commitment level. Talk is cheap. Many say all the right things. Deeds tell the story. This is not a secondary issue. Unity isn't agreeing on...

He fails to grasp Venn diagrams and Odoro Amoris. We have multiple responsibilities - not just fealty to one thing. When Christ said to "love your enemies," he was talking about at the personal level. Christ was NOT commanding we act treasonously to the civil authorities. Therefore, "we" are...

Religion is one aspect of the human condition - as are politics and culture, technology, etc. I understand the Bible has been translated into Klingon. Have you read about Thomas Aquinas Ordoro Amoris?

I think you are conflating 2 points: the requirement for salvation from living the Christian life. For salvation, church is not required. To live the Christian life, it is. Iron sharpens iron. Only by living life with other believers can one put the principles into practice.

No coveting there!

That is my position also. The purpose of government is not charity but to help people protect their property rights, PERIOD, FULL STOP. Anyone can give to charity to their hearts content and there are many excellent charitable organizations.

Saw a meme that pointed out the Iran war cost less than the fraud in Minnesota.

Two things can be true at the same time. Go away troll.

Quoting Jesus: Buy a sword.

Don’t feed the troll.

After reading 5,000 of @amigo de christo posts railing against it, you still won't! LOL He doesn't like people of different faiths to come together in common cause. Afraid he is this will give rise to one world religion, I think.

Me too. I find it out that Protestants refuse to even call them Christians. The say they, "They are Catholic but I am Christian." Having said that, I consider the beginning of the RCC to be in the 11 century at the Great Schism. IMO, the corruption of the church began before the compiling of...

Buy a sword, says the guy who will one day have a sword come out of his mouth.

The Persian people need to follow Portugal and Span in Reconquista of their once great culture.

How very passive aggressive of you. I've come to the conclusion the question comes from the Adversary. In reading James 4:11-12 and Philippians 2:12, do you get the impression we should judge ourselves at all, let alone judge ourselves with certainty of our ultimate fate?

You know, that's a good question. I tend to stay away from eschatology but Scripture refers to Satan as the god of this world. I know I wrote in another post that Jesus is not called the king but the prince of peace, which means he's in waiting. If he were already ruling he would not have to...

@Aunty Jane needs to understand this.
