In sharp contrast, God The Father's attributes include Omnipotence, Omnisciencs, Omnipresence and Immutability. Translation: He (God The Son and God The Holy Spirit are co-equal and co-eternal, sharing those attributes with Him) has no beginning, is and has always been; is all powerful; all knowing; present at all times within earth, Heaven and what lies beneath and beyond. Not a guy to mess with. Not a guy you can impress, bribe or buy. Let's leave it there for now. Okay. gb
Count me out too, Bobby. I'm really not cut out to be anyone's second. And my hat is my own.

Pertinent question, Stees. Spiritual or Soul life imputed to physical life at birth by our creator... at the moment of brain death, instantly departs that temporary abode (now an already decomposing carcass) and goes to one of two permanent addreses. Those addresses are, simply, in the very presence of God or without Him for all eternity. The choice is y of you or the world at large will ever know.[/hidden]

Let's hope that every soul among us here at RHP will reject the tickets to the "smoking section" and join one another in Dad's heavenly abode where we can play chess and debate each other eternally. Though we would have to come up with some really obscure things to debate about because all the important questions will have been answered definitively.
God bless...

Let this be a shining example of what a proper Christian believes: We have no way of knowing what God's plans are for anyone, and therefore believe each and every non-Christian is a potential Christian.
Any self-proclaimed Christian who believes otherwise (if one exists) is either severely misguided, or is not an actual Christian.

I did not question, even remotely, God's existence or God's divine omnipotence. Never have, never will.
I just don't want to be part of your phony scenario.
