These explanations have been very helpful and well-thought. I thank you for helping me find answers.

(Lunar;56020) Thank you very much.Well, I suppose that is up to him. I'll just call them like I see them until then. No problem, I'll give credit where it's due.I would also like to get a promotion at work without having to do anything to earn it. I'm afraid it's not going to happen...

(tim_from_pa;56014) So, what you are saying in effect that if we ask forgiveness and/or repent before we die we are entitled to heaven? Therefore a suicide victim does not go? Let's not delude ourselves. We are saved by grace. Repentance means turning from one way to another (i.e. God's way)...

(waquinas;56010) Hilltop,while clearly suicide is a grave sin, there is no reason to presume we can judge that it automatically precludes salvation or automatically condemns a person to Hell. God is our judge, not man. We cannot not possibly know the heart of another, but God does. Could think...

(Thomas D;56006) A better question is what makes you think anyone has, or is, going to heaven? Simple... the bible, God's holy word. I'm simply asking for Christian input on the topic-at-hand. If that's not why you're replying, then I'd much rather you not waste my time.

This subject in particular has been weighing heavy on my mind since my brother-in-law took his own life last year.My wife and I are both Christians, and obviously my wife has taken this the hardest since it was her brother. I cannot judge whether or not he was a "Christian", but I do know he...

Hey Jag, thanks for this post. It's funny because a couple weeks ago I was searching for this study and had no luck. Then I joined this forum and "BAM!" you post it right in front of me.

To Lunar:I have read the entire argument posts in this thread with an open mind.What is blatantly obvious, first of all, is that you are an incredibly articulate person with a high level of intelligence. Majoring (and excelling) in Philosophy is a notable feat in itself, and I admire...

(Jeff Wrote)Assumptions:God exists.God heals people in this world today.God is able to heal anyone of anything (omnipotence).Argument:P1. There are reports of God healing people of internal illnesses and "non-visible" conditions, but no reports of God healing amputees by growing back their...

The underlying premise of your questions troubles me, as I see one of God's children seemingly slipping away. Prov. 3:5 tells us to "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding". People today, myself included, have a hard time with this passage because it's...

Good to join the forum. It's pretty much "blah blah blah" at this point until I get involved in a good topic, so I'll spare you the boredom.Thanks for having me.Scott
