If you're willing to live with this kind of blatant contradiction and worship a God that does unjust things, whether you give His justice lip service or not, then there isn't any point in discussing this any further with you because you worship a god that you've made up and that does not exist...

Which that debate PROVES to not be the case! And even if it were the case, the fact that the KJV is written in a version of the English language that is four centuries old is sufficient, by itself, to make at least the New King James a superior English translation (i.e. there are likely several...

I didn't say that God wasn't compassionate, slow to anger or merciful. What I said is that God isn't any of those things based on some sort of arbitrary whim at the expense of justice, as your post clearly implied and that you clearly believe. I just reread my post and I don't believe that...

loving and good = righteous

So says you. You haven't the slightest idea what you're even talking about. Read this and learn something! I dare you! Battle Royale XIV

As if you had anything of substance to contribute anyway!

You couldn't persuade anyone of anything! You DO NOT engage the discussion! You do drive by posts that are typically, exactly one sentence long!

Which King James Bible is "the Bible" (capital B), Marke?

Perfect example of your typical post. You take a comment about YOUR lack of engagement and deflect it. I wasn't suggesting that quoting someone was a problem and you knew that when you wrote this stupidity! You're a lazy waste of bandwidth. What in the world you get out of being here, I'll...

This literally made me laugh! How is it even possible for anyone to be persuaded by this sort of literal stupidity?! You don't need the American Heritage dictionary nor a Chamber's dictionary nor Mounce's dictionary! By the way, cults almost universally point their people to dictionaries...

That may be. It is also irrelevant. The entire thread is still here for the whole world to read, Gary. It's more than a passing interest. It's your pet doctrine. It is the excuse you use to reject Christianity. Why would anyone care about the time when the Jews began writing about hell and...

It's because almost no one knows what justice is - including you, it would seem... Blasphemy! God is just - period! God is not merciful "out of His own compassion" as though He has the option of simply ignoring sin. It is out of His own suffering that God can be merciful. It is precisely...

How could anyone ever convince you of anything? You never engaged beyond what you can type in a single sentence or copy/paste from someone else's work.

Nope. That would be unjust. Adam's nature changed as a result of his rebellion and we are living with that consequence but the alternative is for God to end the human race altogether and all hope for redemption along with it. You DO NOT get sick, injured, die or otherwise suffer because God is...

You are such a waste of time.

Implying a falsehood is a lie, Gary. A false pretense is a lie. You're here pretending like you don't know what Christians believe about Hell. I believe you not only know, but are an expert on the topic, even if that is the loosest possible sense of the term "expert". Either that, or you're...

Great. Thanks for expressing your personal opinion and quoting a completely irrelevant and out of context verse of the bible. Would you care to actually read the opening post and offer a substantial rebuttal to any of its arguments?

I've always felt like Lion could have put a finer point on this part of his argument. I don't think, and I suspect that Lion would agree, that "full maturity" isn't necessary. The point is that, because we don't come out of the womb with fully mature brains, it would stand to reason that.... 1...

Many have asked such questions throughout the ages. Virtually all the answers are speculation, at best. There are two things that we know for certain.... 1. God is not obligated to save anyone at all. 2. God is just. Whatever someone gets, he'll get it because he deserves it and, moreover...

Because our flesh has not yet been redeemed and thus bad thing, injury, disease, death, etc still happen. Be careful not to conflate life with existence or physical death with spiritual death. They aren't the same thing. One's soul will exist forever. If your soul departs from your body, this...
