You got that right. False issue. We are accountable, we are not damnable without it we

God is love, Jesus shows that. The problem we have is that the world is cursed. It isn't God's fault, it is humanity's fault, and we are spreading that curse, with all our sinning. God would show justice throwing this world away and starting with a new one. As God is love, as Jesus shows, Jesus...

We can change our minds, and even leave heresies behind that way.

Besides the subject of whether Luther brought in heresy, there is the subject of how any heresy does persist. Do they? I can say they sure do. Many heresies persist. Those which are really heresies are not true, and are not with the Holy Spirit empowering them. Persistence then is no proof of...

I have nothing to say against giving. With being enabled we should be giving. The tithes, mentioned in the old testament, were never money, and not ever for a church, but were given when it was established certainly for shepherding people, with the early abundance, to show they would do things...

What does that have to do with any of these things being discussed? Can you explain how it relates? Where is accountability? There is no accountability we have for whether it rains on a specific day. But how do any people perish and be damned with no accountability? They would just need to...

Creatures mentioned in the Bible might be ones that are not known to us now. Many species have been going extinct. But pairs of land animals of all kinds were saved from the flood in the ark. Any kinds of animals from before could have been around after it, for some time.

No, not one single Bible verse determines in any way however remotely that responding repentantly having faith is at all a work. It actually accomplishes nothing itself, change of works should happen afterward from that. So if we do not respond, for having that, we are logically not...

Nice way to disown the statement that Democrats should be restricted from guns. You still overlook what I stated already saying Black Lives Matter does not address violence of blacks against blacks, it is not about black people, it is about the police force with institutional violence against...

Interesting but I and others do not conclude meaning of God's word which is the Bible from the Talmud, which is something else. If one is open, and a few are, it can be seen that God, the Creator, cares for every creature. As humans will justify killing some they then can justify killing others...

I do not say that at all. It was your suggestion there should be separate treatment of Democrats in some business transactions, which requires among other things invasive inquiry of all individuals, which are irrelevant. I know that Black Lives Matter is unfairly dismissed. It is not about any...

Fortunately our entering Heaven is not at all dependent on how we answer a question when we stand at a gate to enter. We are either already in Christ, or we would not even get that far if we are not in Christ. All others will stand in judgment for all things in their lives without Christ who...

It seems that focusing on politics and approaches which Republicans do, that many among Christians embrace, is in need of remembering who Jesus is. Remember his example, he shows mercy, love, compassion, patience, and caring for others in many ways. The downtrodden are not to be neglected...

I checked through this thread, as it is likely the member playing iBot posted in here with the regular account being used. A good portion of members among the posters here have not been active in this forum site for a long while. Only one of those members stopped being active close to the last...

iBot was last seen on this forum site on April 18. One could look to see when another member stopped being acfive on this forum site around that time, to figure out which member was probably playing iBot.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, there still would not be a legal basis constitutionally to have restrictions in place for some according to whether they are politically Republican or Democrat. Any movement actually in that direction for controlling people would resemble fascism too much.

Your whole argument is against a political party and those in it. First of all, I do not belong to any political party. Second of all, Christianity is not a political movement and it is not supposed to be. It is a mistake to seek having Christianity that way. That mistake has occurred enough in...

It is funny how argument that scripture does not deny something is used. Jesus spoke against traditions of men, which many gave the weight of the word of God. That is unjustified, nothing of tradition should be thought to have that weight, to be doctrinally taught to others. If the teaching of...

That must be a joke. There is no solution in segregating a group of people on in basis to apply different policies for. Though it is not a popular view there needs to be consistent gun regulations across the board. Yes, it is people who kill, not the objects themselves. But guns are not designed...

Number 1, when it is your mother and your brothers are here, even if brothers could possibly be used with meaning other things, in this context there is not reason to first think it would not mean actual siblings from the same parent, unless there is clear statement somewhere to see it...
