I believe in free will and conditional salvation. Nonetheless, I don't think hell is eternal, but rather purifying. For instance, Jesus says "all will be salted with fire". No, this all doesn't make God to be a bully, but he is simply working in a situation where humans have free will and...

I think we have a lot to learn from all churches. To say the holy spirit doesn't work in them is wrong. However, I don't think all churches are right. I suppose people are only allowed revelation they will open their eyes to see. It's like how the Pharisees couldn't see Jesus. Anyway...

They both put too much emphasis on the material. That was my point.

Well, some of the truth isn't the truth and some is, based on looking at the Greek. However, if we are just talking about being sinners, people don't want to hear it.

She has mental illness and anger spouts and also I made a mistake with feeding so that was some of the reasons he was took away. Therefore, the marriage has been tough to hold together. We made it for 2 years, even with her in jail a lot. Nonetheless, this is the worst part. We lost the...

The parable of the fig tree shows God gives us many chances with chastisement a lot I think, but if we persist in sin we are cut down (I don't believe in eternal security.). Myself, I have been chastised a lot.

I think social media can be useful, but the posts people make could come across as obnoxious to unbelievers especially and also believers. There is a right way to spread the message.

What do you feel it is? How would you apply it to social media and other things?

Did Luther do that? ;)

I'd have to say "yes". However, holy isn't perfect, but only trying very hard. Anyway, it's amazing how many people think God cares about their prayer, when he doesn't. Now, I'm not saying that in a prideful way like a pharisee or something. Well, it's like this: "You have to show up to...

What is the Greek behind everlasting? There is some hot debate or so many wouldn't doubt it.

Thanks.

I forgot the post. It's been awhile since I been here last. I will look for it.

Well, one wise thing to remember is Jesus said "what we possess doesn't define us". While that addresses money worshipers, it also does Communists, since to them, everything is about "the economy".

Luther is "hating his enemies" which is forbidden in the sermon. Best idea is to leave certain people alone, unless something warrants them going to jail, and then you still pray for them.

Thanks. It means a lot to me. My son was lost to social services, so it's tough to get back respect.

Enlighten me.

Well, radical atheists' would blame Christians for the fall of American Indians and colonization worldwide. What is the response? Also, I have heard Marxists claim capitalism kills millions via starvation and stuff worse than what Mao did, but I am skeptical.

You have good points. Nonetheless, it's a deep topic.

That's definitely the problem because it's all people need to solve their problems. However, out of a free will, and somewhat influenced by false teaching and misconceptions, they reject Jesus' sacrifice.
