Questions for "Revival"

[Revival]

Well, this conversation got interesting fast.

Since this thread is about asking me questions, do you have any questions for me, snitzel?

[redhotmagma]

I wasn’t calling you a pharisee. I was using an example of how Jesus confronted people.

You are comparing me to a pharisee, redhot. jeez. Can you just comment without disrespectful attacks?

feeling convicted?

I was using an example, as Jesus is our example, as to why I feel justified to speak to you harshly. He didn’t speak harshly to anyone else. I was speaking harshly to you, I was using sarcasm to get my point across, in the same way Jesus did.

I was NOT comparing you to a pharisee, as I am not comparing myself to Jesus. What I find funny though is out of all the charges I leveled against you, you come back with " I answer off topic comments, and I was equating you with a pharisee".

What’s your favorite color?

Honestly, I don’t have any theological questions for you at the moment. Then again, I just woke up, so maybe once my brain gets into gear (read: I’ve had some caffeine!) I might think of the giant stumper that will make you jump headfirst into Universalism. Probably not, but I can hope, right?

I think I might have a giant stumper for you that might make you reconsider your position in UR. Probably not, but I can hope, right? I’m working on it now.

Look forward to it.

Meanwhile, here’s an old classic: Does God love those in Hell?

Edit to add: And by “Hell,” I mean, “Those being eternally punished in your theology.”

Yes, God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

[snitzelhoff]

So if God loves those in Hell, He would rather they weren’t in Hell?

Does He extend the offer of salvation beyond the grave?
If not, why not?

Hi Aaron
Perhaps its a cultural thing, but here in England, chaps would read your comment as taking God’s name in vain. I’d appreciate it if you could refrain in future.

[Matt_Wiley]

I think this may relate to the discussion.

Thoughts I Shared On SoM's Our image of God? thread

Thought I’d post this as a topic too so maybe more people would take a look at it, as I thought it might encourage or help. With all the arguing I’ve been seeing on here lately, I thought it would be something good to share. Well, here it is: I’m not sure if I can agree that the majority of people who classify themselves as Christians relish the doctrine of hell… some do, I’m sure, and they are often the loudest and the most obnoxious and often get the most airti…

Don’t know how saying “jeez” is related to using God’s name in vain, but if you say so, I apologize.

And how does this love of God jive with how God discribes Himself in I Cor.13… Love (God) is…?

Thanks for the clarification but I was using “jeez” to express surprise and annoyance and certainly not taking the Lord’s name in vain.

Thank you Sonia.

You may have been ignorant of the fact that you are using a ‘euphemism’ for Jesus’ name. I don’t think God hold’s our ignorance or blindness against us and neither do I hold yours against you.
God bless.

I prayed for the Truth regardless of the consequences, and all “hell” broke loose.

Aaron, Caroleem asked “where does it say this?” You didn’t answer this part of her question.

Sonia

Hebrews 11 and 12:1-2. Everyone in Hebrews 11 were not born again and examples of using soul faith then it transitions to chapter 12 for born again believers to not look upon Hebrews 11 but unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of born again spirit faith. If you don’t understand spirit soul and body then you will not understand this. God bless.

I understand spirit soul and body but not anything about “soul faith”. I’ve been a Christian for over 30 years and i have yet to ever hear that term before. You’re a first. I have no idea how you arrived at that conclusion or who taught you that. All i know is Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. Period.

[Caroleem]

Romans 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
