Be serious!

I'm not seeking approval!! Do you believe God picks who goes to heaven or hell... Or do believe we have a say in where we end up?

I've run across some silly ideas here. Never even heard of some before. And they're not little children if they can post scripture.

God will have mercy on us all. We're just talking...

M predestination question has everything to do with this thread. Who is right? Arminius or Calvin?

I care. I can't decide if it was good or bad.

@Rollo Tamasi When we talk about following the law, we SHOULD BE speaking about how persons are trying to achieve salvation. We can't work our way to salvation, or follow the law to salvation. We have to do that the way God planned...Jesus. From the beginning of time. But we have here...

You see, when you speak like this it sounds like if I just have a good relationship with our Lord, then I could not pay any attention to the law. If you could explain that away, I'm willing to listen. (not like I haven't heard it all)

Of course they're not the same. I know the difference. My emphasis is having a good relationship with Jesus. But I still can't steal that ring that was left right in front of my at Notini the other day.

And here we are returning to the problem of how to know the truth...

Too tired. Just reading. Romans 9. Are we predestined to believe or not? I have no problem knowing the truth. But many don't know it and cling to silly ideas.

I have no questions. I don't like what I heard. Telling you there was no reply is not lashing out. You never did answer why Jesus spoke in parables. I know why,,,just wondering if you knew to continue the conversation. No problem.

Too much for tonight. I'll only say that the crusades were necessary. Eve if mistakes were made, as they always are in war. The Inquisition was demonic and it could never be justified. Protestants burned people alive too. Tomorrow.

I also have looked into the doctrine of many churches and beliefs. I used to be Catholic. I studied all their doctrine too. It's from knowing Jesus that I come to my conclusions and with the help of a couple of churches that taught me well. You said that the Pope has the power to change what...

No Scott, My original question to you was why Jesus spoke in parables. You have not given an answer and instead quoted the parable of the wheat and the tares. Which has NOTHING to do with why Jesus spoke in parables. So now your point is that God does not want everyone to understand Him, OR...

No. Jesus didn't mean a thousand years. He told the thief TODAY, you will be with me in paradise. He was speaking as a person on earth. One is not a Jew born again as a Christian. One BECOMES a Christian, just like you did. Who were YOU before you were a Christian? Well, once again I'm...

Are you serious? You think Jesus meant we're supposed to be born as somebody different after death? Mathew 16 and 17 is referring too a spiritual Elijah, or the people of the time are conjecturing as to who Jesus was since they were expecting Elijah to come back. Malachi 4:5 Some Pharisees...

There is no scripture posted in the O.P. supporting your position. I've posted scripture supporting mine. You only posted that Jesus said there are other sheep. It's understood that this is what you want to discuss. You must also support this belief of yours, which is not right BTW.

Yes. It's useless for me to pursue this conversation. I'm an arminian. Some are calvinists. How could this be? I can come up with scripture supporting arminianism. They counter it with their own. I believe it's incredibly wrong. They think I am. I often think Catholicism is good in that it does...

My question was not meant to be personal. Why did you take it that way? I said that if there are so many interpretations, THEN what does one do? The answer is that we're supposed to rely on those who studied and understand the bible a lot better than we do. We cannot all have our own personal...
