Why?
Why is it "the important thing"?
I'm not disagreeing, but I am curious why you think the important thing is the act--- or how you're valuating "important" in the first place.

All these years and you still don't get what he is talking about. The atheist thing is irrelevant. (Or at least for God alone to judge). The important thing is acting out the good in our hearts, not just talking about it or thinking we are saved by belief alone or that good works are meaningless in themselves.

Half of your complaints would be solved if you read the first sentence that you quoted correctly:
I actually never had this issue because I never operated from the perspective that man is fundamentally good.
Plus...
I just realized...
we are very close to saying "Snakes on a plane."
When we said...
Talking snakes on another plane.

He's just wrong, is all.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeThe poignant verse of scripture you keep pointing to, to support his ideas, doesn't even mean what you think it does.

I know I don't have to quote "The Princess Bride", here.
Another poster once said, "And on top of that you can't even get there from here!"

But that's okay, there's a long line of similarly wrong Christians ahead of you. You're not the first, by any reckoning, to be wrong, nor the first to not even recognize that. You are, however, the single most popular, of those who've got it wrong, among the atheists here, because you are the first to be SO wrong as to say they're saved, over and above some Christians.
But as you like to say, God is not a "respecter of persons", and your popularity here means about as much as the spittle it takes to spit that out.
But yeah, you don't "get" that, either.

What I say is what Jesus Christ says and that bothers you.
I suggest you wake up from your blissful ignorance and smell the coffee

So, in order to make this simple declarative statement, you must be prepared to list his "works", and other ways he carries out the will of God, according to you and your other statements that other Christians here fall short. Because I submit that you have just as much proof of his "works" as you have proof that other Christians here do NOT have "works". ...[text shortened]... ans in this forum in much the same way as you do. This is incredibly self-serving on your part.
