Has religion served its purpose?

Those that belong to Him, there are those that don’t. You must look at every verse in light of all other scripture otherwise you run into the danger of looking at it out of context of the whole Bible.

And dont forget take up your cross ... lol

Agree with that. Going to check on that eternal sin stuff now. will post later

The consequences of sin is eternal one way or another if you are abiding in Christ or you are not. One we are saved the other condemned already. I would be more concerned about that!

What are your moral arguments here? The consequences of sin are eternal because the consequences of sin are eternal? Backed up by... KellyJay believes the consequences of sin are eternal because KellyJay believes the consequences of sin are eternal?

For someone who claims to have once believed in scripture you should be aware of the text I quoted and it’s meaning. Attempting to make this about me avoiding the one thing that matters is simply side stepping what is important to something that is not.

Show me a verse that talks about temporary sins!

We can be forgiven and we can miss this great salvation God has provided for us. Ignoring those scriptures that speak to those being cast out shows not everyone gets accepted.

Picking one scripture out of the whole book and saying everything else is contrary to it just shows you cherry picked something and twisted the text into more than you should have.

This is no different than those claiming we have earn a free gift. The only thing we have run into so far is your ability to ignore parts of scripture when you disagree with it.

The wages of sin is death. People die because of sin.
God has justified the whole world through Christ
All dead people have paid the price of their sin
All those who keep the commandments will be made alive
The exception as Dive pointed out is blasphemy.
