I have not puked yetI'd like to know why this subject is sooo important that people feel the need to debate it until they puke?
Everything gets repeated seemingly endlessly on discussion boards, and in today's current political climate, there are fewer and fewer venues where such things are allowed to be discussed at all, let alone ad nauseum. Keeping such topics front and center probably seem important to those who wish to protect others from what may be considered the spiritual abuse of excessive and/or unwarranted legalism. Personally I do not care to repeat myself that much, and yet I am to put my personal preferences aside in favor of carrying the message that has been entrusted to Christians collectively. The message is that God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to pay the sin debt on our behalf, extending reconciliation to God by grace through faith in the shed righteous blood of Christ on the cross, that we may be born again of the Spirit, for the flesh counts for nothing. Those who believe attain to life ever after, and those not covered by His blood face condemnation, and pass into the second death following the resurrection and judgment of all at the end of this age. People have no excuse not to know that there is a God, and knowing this, should seek out God's plan and purpose for humanity, which would include them. At any given moment, there may be hundreds of guests perusing various boards here.Until the Holy Spirit pukes?
The question is, why is it so important that it warrants endless repetitive debate on a multitude of threads?
People's take-aways are always interesting. There, is that better?
yeah who wants to live in fear like satan's devils?I for one do not choose to debate this at all as my belief in this is based on what I read in the bible. Either Jesus died for your sins or He didn't. I choose to believe that He did. For all my sins that I had committed or will commit. Why live in fear of losing your salvation rather than receiving the blessed assured hope that Jesus will not lose a single one that were given to Him by the Father? I take Jesus at His word.
yeah who wants to live in fear like satan's devils.
No, not at all.
It is my (probably fruitless) hope that this will not become yet another in a sea of osas debates.
