Spirituality
"Debate and general discussion of the supernatural, religion, and the life after." -Russ As well as off topic personal attacks on those whose beliefs, knowledge and skills contrast with my own and trigger my displeasure. Leave it in God's hands.

Only absolute authority is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Rest easy. Moment you believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ you're sealed as a member of His Royal Family for eternity. Leave the attacks in God's omnipotent hands.

Two possibilities:
Believers in eternal damnation tend to be more strident and outspoken about it than are disbelievers in it who tend more to lurk than to spout off.
and/or
All the Christians here agree with them about you.

I cannot concur on this characterisation of his posting. He is a critic of the Trinity theology. He is a critic of the torture theology. And he is a critic of certain aspects of your organisation's policies and behaviour. That's about it. I don't see him telling people that they are wrong "in every discussion every time, every day". That strikes me as an inaccurate portrait of his forum presence.
Jesus rarely used a stern voice but almost always used love with his answers.
Why was that? It was to draw ones in even those who would not listen.
Perhaps as I said dive dude could try another approach with others to avoid this subject at a latter time. ( If he really cares as a Christian should. )
Anyway I've posted many subjects as this in the past and as usual dive dude shoots it down time after time. Why is that? What upsets him so much about something good for all of us?

Too bad that I fall short with some that call themselves Christians, not only them but all that post in this forum. Working on it! I get embarrassed with myself sometimes. This place drives me crazy. But I was already crazy when I got here. 😉
Titus 3:2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
2 Tim ...[text shortened]... ns 4:5
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Christian's creed.
-Removed-"Antichrist". The Greek term has a twofold meaning. It refers to that which is anti, or opposed to, Christ. It may also refer to a false Christ, one in the place of Christ. All people, organizations, or groups that falsely claim to represent Christ or claim to be the Messiah or that oppose Christ and his disciples can properly be called antichrists.—1Jo 2:22.
1) So why would I have called you this in reguards to the organization I am a part of and how you not only view us but actually condemn us for from time after time here on this forum?
2) What do you do as Jesus said for his followers to do in all the nations according to his words in Matt?
3) Do you promote those commands or do you condemn them?
Three simple questions. Please number your answers.
Originally posted by Grampy Bobbydivegeester complains that he gets abused for challenging Christians on eternal suffering and RJHinds and galveston75 make vicious attacks on him. He asks why not one single Christian here lifts a finger in his defence. JS357 suggests two possibilities: that believers in eternal damnation are more strident than disbelievers in it, and/or all the Christians here agree with divegeester's attackers. You suggest a third possibility: that the Christians making vicious attacks on divegeester are "trolls". So, do you suspect that RJHinds and galveston75 are Christian "trolls"?
