On Intelliquests list of the worlds 100 greatest people, a military conqueror.

Saw this vid and thought of this thread. It ends by saying murder and rape happen by BAD men because WEAK men let them.

My view of faith such as Romans 10:9 is that it is a guarantee, whereas living an otherwise good life relies on Romans 2 getting justice, getting what your works deserve. Obviously, such determinations are above our pay gradebut I believe both of us believe in a just and merciful God...

I have already added it to my way of thinking. Perhaps I wasn't clear. Logic is a powerful tool for us to know what is true. In this case, there is significance to Jesus NOT saying ALL will receive mercy. He said a subset of all, "the merciful." What does this imply those who are NOT merciful...

No, a nominal Christian is not the same as a carnal Christian. An overly-spiritualized Christian is one who says you should stay warm and eat well but not actually do anything to help the person do that. Therefore, a nominal Christian is more akin to an overly-spiritualized Christian who says...

Except for: the verdict of history + many Scripture verses; that is, except for the fact that my position is put into practice by more Christians than who oppose it, of millions of Christians over many centuries have defended this position, it is "totally indefensible." In light of this...

This is the type of practical question of justice that the over-spiritualized pacifists avoid. Sure, they may reply but it is a non-responsive reply, a change in subject, deflection, a repeat of over-spiritualized mantra, a total abdication of responsibility to do justice. <sigh>

You say this theoretical can't in the face of the fact that followers of Jesus do and have taken to the sword by the millions for centuries. Such denial of reality is a sign of over-spiritualization.

This verse has done more to damage the Christian psyche than any other as it is forgotten what comes next. Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. A Christian heart can be trusted because...

50-50? Guilt by accusation?! In our civilization jurisprudence, there is the presumption of innocence, NOT presumption of guilt.

Has a nice ring to it. I also like, Vote for me = Within the first year those who make false accusations will get the maximum penalty the person falsely accused would get if they were guilty.

While I agree that "pedos are everywhere" in the sewer of power halls, it doesn't mean DJT is involved.

Most mom's think their son is handsome. Not too disturbing for father's to think his daughter is pretty/beautiful. Pehaps TMI, too much honesty for you?

Agreed. Millions of Christians for 17 centuries fought and killed in wars to protect Christian nations. You engage in revisionist history to rationalize your pacifism, then deny any Christian who rejects your pacifist ideology is not a "real" Christian. Yup Yes, it IS who Millions of...

This is false doctrine. Water is both, liquid and clear, at room temperature. There is no triumphing, which is why there is Hebrews 10:31. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Proverbs 9:10 fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. If mercy triumphed over...

I love it! It's great on several levels, starting with AUTHENTIC. It's so funny how the Left did everything they could to take him out and now that he's back in power, how sanctimonious they are in responding to him investigating their egregious abuse of power. Not sure when you invoke such...

To answer the question of the thread. There is only one way to be saved and that is through the Lord Jesus. So, in that sense, he is the savior of the whole world. However, this does not mean universal salvation. Everyone goes to him but he sorts the goats to the left and the sheep to the...

@Episkopos, you bring up a lot of great points in this thread. I hope we can discuss it without the cacophony that what your saying contradicts orthodoxy. I am a highly binary thinker: In or Out; Yes or No; Inclusive or Exclusive. Having said that, I do recognize degrees within each category...

Everyone can see the total dodge.

Yes - misunderstood and misapplied by the over-spiritualized who OBVIOUSLY have no Biblical sense of justice. Micah 6:8 is explicit; DO justice (not wait for God to do justice). This is why you avoid the thread question; the reasons FOR the Crusades. The Crusades were a soulful, practical...
