    (poll) Do We Choose Him or Does he choose us?

    All unsaved sinners have good desires. I even heard of one unsaved sinner who desired to brush his teeth. Good good good! It doesn't take the indwelt Holy Spirit to cause a sinner to desire to escape eternity in the lake of fire; the outdwelt, convicting Holy Spirit efficiently causes that...

    Is believing in white supremacy in line with following God?

    Jealousy

    This reminds me of a movie that's currently on YouTube, "A Friend to Die For (1994)" aka "Death of a Cheerleader". Maybe you can identify with it. Don't do what the lead character did. I would suggest that you get this person you're jealous of and the people of the church off of your pedestal...

    Why did God make the book of Revelation so open to interpretation?

    So we can interpret it. If it were closed to interpretation, we wouldn't be able to interpret it.

    Is God that cruel?

    A parent can't send his son to hell. He can only kill his body. The killing of a son can be just in some cases, in spite of the parent's love for him. God, who is love, punishes people with eternity in hell because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

    I knew something of his situation: I knew he either hasn't read the Bible for years or he's been asking the wrong questions for years.

    Can you help speak with me?

    Did God tell you that? If so, it sounds like He's answered you during the years. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him ... Psalm 37:7 That's an answer He's given me for many years. :-)

    Is Universalsim in Opposition to the Bible?

    I appreciate much of what you say in this thread. I believe OT-era saints (who never heard the name of Jesus or of the cross) and infants who die are saved by the one and only Way, Jesus; on the grounds that Jesus is God. The same could be (theoretically) true of those today who haven't heard...
