    It's a funny thing...

    Music soothes the soul. Jordan Peterson says that we're going to suffer in this life. He likes Neitzsche...he said the same back in the 1800's. Jesus said it too....IN THIS LIFE YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION.... And He also said: BUT FEAR NOT..... I agree with what you said. Atheists are...

    Jesus of Nazareth. The best.

    Is this place overwhelming just the typical run of the mill conservative Christians who ignore science and biblical scholarship?

    Thanks Amigo. I only read posts that are addressed to me....so I know that I miss a lot. What you state above is representative of a SICK SOCIETY....and, hopefully, with this President this will change somewhat....if not completely because it should be ILLEGAL to do such operations on MINORS ---...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    @St. SteVen I looked around on google and found some interesting explanations. This is from a site I DO NOT use because it's of a denomination I cannot agree with... however, the writer (John Piper) explains Romans 1 much better than I probably do so I'm going to post some of the article. In...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Agreed. And it's of no consequence. No gospel until the NT. Yes. There's salvation in acknowledging the creator. Please don't write back and ask if ACKNOWLEDGING is sufficient because I wrote a whole post on this.

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    What point does it prove? John 3:16 states that we are to BELIEVE in Jesus. You're a smart guy....what does BELIEVE mean? It means that we're to LEARN and FOLLOW the one in whom we believe. It's not a BELIEVING of the mind,,,but a believing of the heart. So my statement is correct and follows...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Your last sentence is all that's required SS. God is CLEARLY SEEN, BEING UNDERSTOOD BY WHAT IS MADE.... (creation). He is understood by WHAT IS MADE.... even before there was any gospel. What point does it prove? What incompleteness? Romans 1:19....is a complete thought. Everyone will be...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    But you asked ARE THEY SAVED? Let's see. They've acknowledged that there's a God. But will they live for the God they now know is present? Let's ask this: HOW is anyone saved? They come to believe in God. Because He revealed Himself in some way. They accept the God that has been revealed to...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    OK,,,,and I wish @Ritajanice would read along since she really has refused to discuss Romans 1:19 with me.... To clarify....to me discussing a particular verse means discussing that verse....not just throwing other verses at me that have no meaning to the discussion. (I'm not saying YOU do...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Don't be grieved SS. @Ritajanice and I are OK. We have a little difficulty communicating and it gets on our nerves at times. But no problem.

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    You have a very sly way of insulting persons. I DO happen to be able to pick up on it. I don't post opinion.... I post scripture... something YOU do not care to do. Well, actually at times you DO post scripture... but it makes no sense....to what is being discussed at the time. :balloons:

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    No comment. I tag everyone I mention....not saying I don't maybe forget a time or two... BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE A HABIT to speak behind someone's back.

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    These are sad comments SS. My sister in law refuses to go to any church anymore and she was very involved with her church. I was in a Nazarene church many years ago and I had a little debate with the pastor because he insisted that if we commit a sin, we lose our salvation. Now, I'm not...

    Also, I would ask that you tag me in when speaking about me. I'm sure there's a rule about this... and it's just common courtesy. Thanks.

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    What a silly thing to say RJ. My goodness but the Holy Spirit must be a really bad teacher if His spirit resonates differently with each Christian. And,,,,since you don't care to discuss Romans 1:19-20,,,,I suggest you make no comment regarding it when mentioning ME.... who is very willing to...

    Few of my favorite native wild mushrooms foraging.

    Wow. That thing looks nasty. Problem is that some mushrooms that are poisonous are very pretty to look at. If you go out at 3AM you're a serious mushroomer....don't know anybody that does this. Yes. We call them mushroomers...fungolai. While we're on the subject,,,what do you think of this...

    Welcome to the club. This is what we probably all, or at least the vast majority, must accept.

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Romans 1:19-20 is a "standard apologetic"?? It's one of the most important verses in the entire NT. YOU brought up the problem of what happens to persons that have never heard the gospel and how it represents a problem to you. I gave you a good verse and you just brush it off because it doesn't...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    IF you're confident in the Word of God... Why won't you go through Romans 1:19-20 with me? This is what you're inferring. You're inferring that I don't have the spirit of God in my heart and thus do not understand His word. NO RJ We are NOT at different levels of understanding. YOU are at a...

    Spiritual Extortion - The threat of consequence for refusing the "Free Gift" of salvation

    Yes. Fear of the truth. Guess YOU are the only one with the spirit of God in your heart. Everyone that does not agree with you must surely be missing the spirit of God in their heart. Yeah.... So we run from the truth instead of facing it. Which is what you're doing right now.
