Originally posted by chaney3Not sure why you think that it could suggest that.
Your statement could suggest that regarding the Bible: everyone is right, and everyone is also wrong.
The point is that those who do not recognize the fact that "the Bible is widely open to interpretation and contains inconsistencies, discrepancies and outright contradictions" delude themselves into believing that they understand "the word of God" when they actually only understand their own interpretation. Such people are dangerous.
Originally posted by apathistHe isn't absent, have you wondered why God seems so far from you? The God of the Bible promises many things, one is to never leave us or forsake us, and Jesus promised to send us the Holy Spirit who would teach us, guide us, and share with us about Christ. If you don't have the Spirit of God, then I suggest that you turn to God and not stop praying until there is nothing between you and God.
Have you ever wondered why your god is so absent lately?
Originally posted by KellyJay"Jesus became sin for us" .. oh good. Now we have no sin because of him right?
Jesus became sin for us, our sin so we could be forgiven. What do you think God is going
to do with those that accept His gift, and what do you think will happen to those that think
it a little thing not worth anything, or those found outside of Jesus' grace and mercy?
Happy days 🙂

Sumydid .. I remember the name. Your doctrine has not changed or matured. You still believe in eternal torment, and that good works are not required. Christians get eternal life by faith only .. I remember.
I don't know if it's a reading comprehension thing, or something else. But I can empathize, at least. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the messages and I'm missing some. But I haven't been around for several years. What's your excuse? 😵
