Oh, I forgot to mention that even though God dealt with them as believers, (please refer to post #161,@OrphanedRepublican ) David actually suffered the wrath of God in many instances against his ungodliness, including in the instance you gave, his repentance not withstanding!!

Of course, God"s word is powerful and mighty to safe. (but we must present the word holistically). There is the goodness of God and there is his severity. It is all good news depending on the way and manner you are presenting them. If we actually try to analyze your quote above, we will...

Someone has told you in previous threads that Salvation is for the whole world and that it is a free gift which you seem to agree with. Since it is free, we did not work for it. Also, since it is a gift, we have to accept it in order to take the benefit of the gift, or rather, for it to be...

God dealt with David/Abraham/Jacob as "believers". which they were. Scripture tells why this is so.

The point is this. Even though the propitiation for sins is for the whole world, one is only saved when he believes., meaning that he only takes the advantage of the propitiation of sins at the time he believes. So, if before he believed, he was wallowing in sins or dining with the devil, he...

What you seem to call bad news is equally good news of the bible, holistically. It is your understanding that makes it bad.

Your interpretation is way off the scripture!!

See my comments in red.

Then explain it. so we can understand.

If you are linking this bible verse to your big bang or quantum theory in order to prove your meaning of virtual reality as captioned in your op, I disagree with that. In the virtual world of science and what have you, everything is simulation. For one thing, God never experimented with...

In what way? Tell us. What are the remaining fine tuning arguments? As @Runningman said and from what I understand, all outcomes of experiments relating to quantum physics are probabilistic. ------ not that I care about any outcomes that portend to explain away God's existence or non...

The question is, how is it virtual? explain please.

First, I must say that for someone like me who knows little or nothing about Physics whether quantum physics or any other branch of it, and have no interest in deeply learning about it, the terms used in your post are sounding strange to me. Perhaps next time, you can simplify your words so...

Noted.

NICE PIECE. God is Love. And we are made of this love. We dwell in His love. It is our primary duty to demonstrate this love in our character'. As St John said, love is more than words. It is in actions. It is giving and not getting. It is unconditional and knows no enemy. It knows no...

Agreed. But it could also boil down to the fact that your own interpretation of what is being communicated is not correct. It could go either ways.

It then boils down to the Pastors to redirect their thoughts aright. And for us all to chip in our contributions when we hear them, --- whenever possible.

Agreed. Love cannot be legislated. The more reason we have freedom in Christ Jesus for in him love consists. Love of God and his creatures happens to be the first commandment of the 10 Commandments and through love all the others are fulfilled. Those others still " bind" us but we must...

I think you are painting a different picture with this scenario. When the scripture says, if you are in the light, walk in the light. if you live in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, it recognises the fact that doing the walk does not remove the fact that salvation is a free gift.

okay---ooooo!!. No comment.
