Dear Folk,
This discussion seems to be getting nowhere, and working itself in circles. No one seems to be listeneing to eachother, and the replys seem to be extra fancy responses leading into useless tangets. Is there a conclusion that we are trying to reach here or are we (and be bluntly honest with yourself if you are truly an intellectual truth seeker) arguing simply for the philisophical one up.
Christ came and died so that he may forget about all sin, whoever repents of there sin (meaning that they are aware in there hearts that they are guilty of it), turns and calls on the Lord for salvation (a free gift that cannot be achieved but only accepted with faith), then we will enter into eternal rest with the creator of all things. If we die our chance to accept the gift is over ( this is a whole other doctrine for a whole other subject dealing with the theology of time in respect to eternity, we can talk about this later), but as said before God is patient not wanting any to perish. Please dont read this thinking that my tone is snobbish. You all seem to be great minds, and probably have much to teach me and many others. I just hope we are truly shooting to answer each others questions out of love. If we do this we will be better off and we will learn much more, because out of love comes full true expression, and if we got that from everyone in this forum much would be answered and accomplished.
God bless you all.
