Six Facts Plainly Revealed in The Gospel

[Lark]

Christians will not be judged on judgement day.

I dont think so.

How can you maintain that belief when you consider the life and ministry of Jesus the messiah of the Jews? Whether he was acknowledged as the same or not, he was orthodox in his teachings but sought to simplifiy and popularise it, and it was throughly rejected, as was he eventually.

I think that has happened dozens of times, the later day Christians have repeated so, so many of the mistakes described in the new testament.

Romans.

I was kind of suspecting ... You/Deja Vu. Has the flippant/dismissive ENTP troll style.

I dont know, there's a couple of other people who've done this lately in other threads and who've adopted a sort of head and shoulders above the rest attitude before now on a lot of different topics, politics, philosophy etc.

There's also the people who I've got on ignore and who're really bothered about that and who've attempted repeatedly to engage me on other topics too, I'd suspect them of setting this up as a sort of temptation to re-engage them, proper troll behaviour that one, total and utter communication fails resulting in quickly resorting to manipulation, scripts and games.

 

[ReflecTcelfeR]

Read the Scriptures.

The answers are there.

Weak. You want us to know the truth, then illuminate.

 

[Lark]

Romans.

I'm sorry what?

I'm sorry what?

Romans is a book in the Bible.

I can assure you that believing I'm a totally depraved sinner in need of a Savior does not promote any shred of self esteem.

Even worse, because if you can't even love yourself and see yourself as god sees you beautiful and w/o sin as you are then how can you have any shred of real love for anyone else?

 

[Lark]

That's correct.

But everyone else most certainly will be judged. Thus, the need to inform them of that fact, and point them to the only One who can save them--Jesus Christ.

This is precisely what I think is wrong with protestant fundamentalism and evangelical protestantism, its the theory of predestination and election.

From hells heart a stabbeth thee that concept because it is absolutely ANATHEMA to Jesus, his life, his ministry, his message and anyone at all who is deserving of the label of Christian could not possibly profess it. It is the "choosen people" message revived, only made sectarian rather than racialised as it was by the Jews, that whole idea was throughout by Jesus and then by the twelve in the universality of their beliefs, hence the repeated mention of Samaritans, Syrophenicans, Hellenists etc.

It has all been missed and lost AGAIN. The error just repeats itself afresh.

Even worse, because if you can't even love yourself and see yourself as god sees you beautiful and w/o sin as you are then how can you have any shred of real love for anyone else?

Absolutely!

Anyone acting that way couldnt possible practice the golden rule to love others as you love yourself, in fact that would mean condemn others as you've condemned yourself, which is frequently what does happen, making people miserable in this life and probably making them incapable of enjoying any afterlife either.

Now that I did my good deed for the day I feel free to post images of raptor jesus for the remainder of this thread:

 

[Ginkgo]

No.

And if you are wise you will take this thread as a sign.

I urge you, in the name of Christ, don't perish with those who mock God.

Return to the Father through Jesus Christ his Son, and your backsliding will be healed.

For, as it is written:

You've already perished by taking your life for granted. Living and breathing is redemption in itself, and thinking you're "saved" is an excellent way to ignore each day's challenges without taking them head on, owning up and working through them. My relationship with "God" consists of striving to acknowledge my hardships to transcend them, and respecting those around me as though they were God itself.

I'm not offended by you, and it's because I've grown out of this crap. And yes, this is all about your perspective. Otherwise, you're not a believer, now are you?

 

[Totenkindly]

The longer this goes, the more trolly it feels. Lol.
Well, it's been a fun afternoon, thanks for the entertainment.

Christians will not be judged on Judgment Day.

Will judgers be judged on Christmas day?

Well man.. FWIW, even though I have a lot of disagreements with you, and we don't exactly get along (just being honest), I respect that you at least argue your points and try to participate in discussion. That's why I suspect Spurgeon is a troll. His level of dismisiveness and deflection is unrealistic. I've never seen anything like it at least. There are intolerant people in the world, but he seems like a parody of intolerance.

And the second thing that makes me confused is... Why here? Typology Central. Suddenly this of all places is some battleground to wage holy war against? He couldn't have gone to a forum that truly revels in "depravity"? He could have chosen a website devoted to "piss fetishists" or some racist forum. But he chose a psychology website? This makes no sense to me.

He reminds me of a muslim dude from some other website.

It's the mercy of God toward you, which you neither recognize nor appreciate.

And unless you repent in believe in Jesus Christ, all the acts of mercy God has bestowed upon you in this life will be counted against you in the Judgement.

I have been asking myself that for the entire thread. Why does TC give the religious such a hard on?

Yep. Definite troll (successfully, I guess.. since I'm here replying, aren't I? Exactly what you want).

If you're connected with God, then ask God about me. He'll tell you a funny story. I'm not a storyteller though.

That said, you are a troll. You're not going to try one bit at understanding anything. That's not your goal. More than likely, you will churn out another dismissive and deflective statement, meant to antagonize. I just hope you finally take the mask off and let us in on the joke soon. Don't carry on the act for too long, y'know? It's no fun if we don't get the big "reveal" and climactic ending.

Really? I thought it was ice giants

The ice giants wouldn't dare! Odin, Vili and Vé slayed their progenitor, Ymir, and all the frost giants except Bergelmir and his wife drowned in the flood of Ymir's blood!

No, when Ragnarok comes the fire giants, led by Surtr the black one, will do battle with the gods.
