Satan doesn't want to be saved. He wants God's throne for goodness sake. It's a rebellion Patrick. A hard out guns blazing no holds barred irreconcilable conflict between good and evil, and Satan will never agree to terms. He had his opportunity and he confirmed his decision when he murdered...

If God was content with people coming to Him out of fear, then He should have squished Lucifer/Satan right at the beginning of the rebellion and we could have done without all his theatrics right?

Not loving.

It is love when you are actually delivering them from that which they would find torturous.

Your third response from #1 needs revision. #2 "There must be some strings attached'. #1. No strings. Trust Me. #2. Trust you? That's it? #1. Yep. Have I ever lied to you? It's a free gift. All you gotta do is unwrap it. #2. What is the free gift? #1. Eternal life. #2. And if I refuse? #1...

Any response to this that I might make could end up in litigation with a series of judicial challenges with the USSC deciding in any direction considering the changes of direction they've made over the years. But short answer, yes, you are right. The wall of separation was a judicial...

Do you have independent sources of these tens of thousands of victims? You and other Catholics speak of the so called Protestant inquisition... Yet offer nothing substantial to corroborate it. At least the Catholic inquisitions are established historically in secular and religious, including...
