Questions about the Bible...

[Jekka]

Well then, seems I have reading to do. Thanks for the heads up.

Follow-up text to Rev. Mom's original reply:

And if you think more about it, why would God send Godself to . Makes no sense to me.

And:

Might be missing a few "gears" in the bicycle!

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

[JoeChalupa]

I ain't going anywhere near Rev. Mom.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never been one to quote scripture though.

[redzero]

Nothing is stopping you from saying that.

But if you truly seek the truth and do so with a pure heart, the truth shall be revealed to you. Many cannot see the forest for the trees. I see both.

And would you still see the truth if you never heard of the Bible or the Christian God?

I don't know why you speak like you know what you're talking about, yet can't come up with a single reason why the word of God condones slavery other than saying that it's Satan trying to trick us.

I am promoting True Love. If you wish to call me a heretic, that is your choice.

I already said I was not familiar with that scripture, which if you say it does not exist, I have to take your word for it at this time...so I have reading to do.

where are you going to look for it?

Actually I probably have tried but only by memory and not by Mark 3:15-18.

You're all HEATHENS! Repent!

And Chalupa, I'll gladly condemn some margaritas also!

If Minister Mom starts mocking you - its all over.

[JoeChalupa]

My dad is a Deacon.

[redzero]

When Our Father in Heaven is none of those things.

And you know that how?

[Jekka]

who is rev mom... is your mom a reverend?

Yes, now retired.

[Ignignokt]

Because Lucifer wants to confuse us into thinking that Our Father is imperfect and that he is wrathful and vengeful and judgmental.

When Our Father in Heaven is none of those things.

Dude, please use scripture instead of whatever re ed feel good prosperity word of faith preacher you're qouting.

Fortunately the Kingdom of God allows for the illiterate.

[MannyIsGod]

Methodist minister.

I'll bite... I would venture to say that you, like the majority here in this thread, don't really care about any of this, consider it all baloney, and simply enter such threads to turn them into mockfests and to continue to justify your own unbelief (amongst everyone's reasons)...

I don't feel I need justification for my unbelief. I am curious about what people believe, and why. I merely ask questions so that others may reflect on their beliefs and determine if they are held for valid reasons; that's not so wrong, is it?

NOW, as for your question... The answer unfortunately is "no"... Redemption after our ephimeral life here on Earth is not possible in the 'afterlife'... because at that point you would no longer be acting out of faith, but out regret...

I'm ok with that, with one exception. Why would you punish people who didn't have faith with you? I could understand God saying, "Look, you didn't have faith in me, so you're not set up for Heaven." That's at least debatably fair. But I don't see the justification for eternal punishment.

[Ignignokt]

Yes, now retired.

wow.

what denom... is she calvinist or arminian...etc..

[Ignignokt]

Methodist minister.

ah.

[Ignignokt]

My theory was proved correct.

Joe Chalupa encourages ty takes and posts.

Because Jesus walked a path to salvation that we must all walk if we wish to be saved.

God allows for Jesus to be tempted by Lucifer so that Jesus would resist that temptation, and defeat Lucifer, thus freeing all of our souls from condemnation should we choose to walk the path of righteousness as Jesus did. Text her that.

Because Bigzax is talking out of his ass and making baby jesus sad.
