Because you seemed to have supplied the answer already.
A bit disingenious , no?

I'm trying to understand you and give you my views on what I think is true. So yes there
was also a question in there, not trying to be a bit disingenuous in the least.

What do you think of sin if anything? How is it to be dealt with or does it need to be in your
views?

I don't want to assume I know what you believe.

you guys hang your sins on him, he takes them for you while you go into the club. however they are still your sin regardless where they hang.

I'm sorry what? I go to Him because He has made Himself available and there is no other
way to be saved.

I don't go to clubs so I'm not sure what that statement is about, if it is directed towards
those that claim Jesus and yet refuse Him as Lord, they will suffer their fate no different than
anyone else who dies in their sins. Except they will do it with the knowledge that Jesus
was the answer, and they knew it, and refused it.

Lord Congeniality?!!?? Oh, my friend—I now have the best laugh of the week (that has been, unfortunately, rather bereft of laughter).

I too chuckled at both the elevation to the peerage and the title chosen. 🙂

As I understand it. Some may choose to refuse, but there is always the opportunity for even the most recalcitrant sinner to turn again even at the last.

Do you not subscribe to the theology of eternal torture in flames?

As such, no.

There is always the possibility for everyone to turn to Christ at the end.

So, in this matter of Christian doctrine - or its interpretation - you are in agreement with divegeester, josephw and Suzianne (and presumably others).

edit: I'll put this comment on hold because you answered my question one way and then I noticed that you had answered it a different way as well.
