    What good is it to know the gospel but then treat others like garbage?

    Such torment of "life" after death is more cruel than anything. No all-loving God would prevent a person to have peace even in death. Also, let'd not forget the death is the end of life, not a kind of ongoing life.

    Yes, you beat to death the 1st part of the story but deny the 2nd part of the story. The power of yes is the power of no. Having the power - and needed action - to pick up and receive - is the power - and needed action - to put down and decline to receive the gift. It's silly to say we don't...

    I’m not sure what kind of wisdom you are implying here. I know the ideas of those many authors I read but that is a far cry from knowing the authors personally. One Pastor made this distinction. Everyone knows ABOUT Jesus. To be saved means more than that; you know him personally and...

    Not quite. By putting your faith in Christ, you receive (or accept) the gift of salvation that was made 2K years ago.

    Agreed. No one is disputing this. However, I reject the claim that words are easier to fake than action. The first action is to believe Christ died for our sins. Yet, it is not the last and only act of one with genuine faith.

    One of the best ways to be tricked is to answer the question with an incorrect false premise; what saves us: God’s grace Our faith The answer is both, not one or the other. If this were not true grace AND faith would not be mentioned together over and over again.

    Because lip service will not save you. Actual faith has works. Here is what people confuse: the means of salvation, which is grace the evidence of faith which is action. Putting aside the charged word of ‘works;’ we are not saved by our own action. One cannot literally pick themselves up by...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Two unanswered questions @Lapidem. You've gone this far. These questions deserve to be answered. You invoked the Atheist mantra that 'God is either powerless or indifferent to human suffering and either way, he doesn't deserve to be worshipped.' These questions turn that mantra on its head...

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    I don’t believe that. If humanity was that unrighteous, there would not be 8 billion, mostly non-Christians. What criteria do you use to determine that ALL non-Christians are both unholy and unrighteous? And don’t tell me that you use 2 words here to mean the same thing.

    No. It is who who equate falsely what we KNOW with mere speculation. It is not possible there are any other answers for Creation and Life. None. These make up the strongest proofs of God’s existence; the logical necessity of a First Cause. First to matter. Second to life.

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    I never heard this before but I like it AND it agrees with Romans 2

    The Great White Throne Judgment (GWT)

    At long last, we agree. :)

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Agreed. You have no humility. More EVIDENCE is Creation, itself. The Atheist position is illogical, that Everything Came From Nothing. The Big Bang Theory is the story of Creation in scientific terms. I know. You’ll speculate another answer …. No evidence required when burden is on you...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    You are drowning in evidence. If you happen upon a book, it is EVIDENCE of a writer. Speculating aliens wrote DNA begs the question of who wrote the alien DNA. There is only one answer. All you got is denial.

    It is not logical that it is any other but God for the question of where did life originate has but 1 answer.

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Done. Walking in the woods happening upon a book is actual evidence of a writer. Likewise, happening upon code written in 4D using molecules to form DNA in a creature is actual evidence of a Creator.

    No actual chapter and verse, huh? Only God can explain life. Who made the alien entity DNA code? Where is your evidence that human DNA was written by some non-divine entity? Asserting the possibility of life does not make it probable. Current knowledge of life other than Earth has 0 in the...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Confused. Reality. Fantasy. Not the same thing. The Atheist fantasy is there is a possibility of some explanation besides God. Just out of curiosity, what evidence do you have to support your claim that ‘they had the special substance known as the Elixir Of Life or Philosopher's Stone?’ I...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    No. The natural consequence of sin is death. God did not take it away from humans. The Free Will exercised by humans took it away.
