I think the big problem is people simply don't want Christ. God said he would meet our needs. If we say government should help, we are saying God can't. However, though, I have been dependent on welfare and I'm not cutting down people on welfare, necessarily. Many people simply haven't...

No, but I can see how that view is humane, if you don't believe in a temporary hell. Anyway, the vine parable speaks of branches being cut off and burned. That pretty much means being left with a chance of going to hell, which I believe is purgatorial. Well, what about the verse where it...

I think people can see the real deal. However, you don't want to rub people the wrong way and ruin the vibe. For one thing, don't preach about hell in that kind of audience. They need to be shown the love of God first. What is especially important is walking in the light so as I said, people...

Well, a lot of people think youngsters will be granted amnesty because of innocence.

No, not long ago, I was quite rotten, even after being on fire for God in my 20s. It's actually quite embarrassing.

Who wants to send babies or children to hell, much less an eternal one?

Well, you brought up a good point. However, saying you have to walk in the light by having a prayer life and reading God's word etc. is not an argument for works. Jesus repeatedly spoke of someone that is justified is he/she who obeys. He was saying this in one thing or another over an...

A big problem with adultery is you can't make someone love you. I need to pray a lot to God and understand his take on adultery which in the OT was very harsh.

Well, yeah, you have to live it. That's why I believe in conditional salvation.

Well, that's like John 3:16 in a way, but it's not what it means. You can't read it at face value and not take the context of the whole Bible with it.

They don't stand a chance in this go around, especially if aborted.

That's one verse out of many others that say the opposite. What about the fig tree being cut down? What about the parable of the vinedresser? What about the parable of the talents or that of the virgins? It goes on and on.

I know myself of times falling into terrible sins. Well, I will spill the beans, like massive sexual immorality. Is it not true the prodigal son went away from home - and then fell into sin, and then came home? Whoever is born of God is someone walking in the light and we have a total free...

No, not really. It's more complex than that. Well, one thing that needs to be looked at is the context an overall theme of the Bible.

I believe in conditional salvation. Nonetheless, a lot of hope is given in that I also believe in universalism. In other words, I think most won't make it to heaven the first time, but they chances over and over. It's not Hinduism, but rather what the bible teaches - once the Greek and...

Carter was noted as being weak. However, I think he was a good man. I'm not sure how responsible he actually was for his failings.

Infants are born into sin, but preachers soften things not to offend people - case, well, honestly, you get the picture.

There is another verse about being "salted with fire" and that coming after "the worm that dieth not". Hmmm. Interesting. ;)

Well, at least in my universalist belief, those infants who are born in sin stand a real chance.
