Christ died for sin on the cross, was buried, and resurrected on the third day according to the scriptures.
This is the gospel. There is nothing else to know. If anyone adds or takes away from it, they are anathema. Even an angel. ANATHEMA. So says the scriptures.
@Lazybratposts You know, despite how often it comes up in media, I've never actually seen such obscene behavior in person.
How curious. How strange. How peculiar. Surely nothing is suspect about this.
@angcathalex KNOWING what would happen. Knowing more surely than any of us has ever known something in our lives. Ever had a moment where your assurance of a truth surpassed any other moment in your life? Where it surpassed your very being.
More than that.
Done out of love for His creation.
@angcathalex And I am convinced such is one of their goals. To make God not be God.
God puts up with this every moment and has for longer than mankind has existed. At least, I am compelled to believe the spiritual rebellion started before Adam and Eve.
God made man in the face of this and
@TheLegateHQ can do it.. you can! The pro bending stuff particularly exists to put a nail in the coffin of the old lore. It's just a magical gun now. You can either use the magical gun or you can't, and if you think you can do a thing you can.
@TheLegateHQ requires learning the very particular motions behind all bending. You can't just will techniques in to being. Aang can't just.. do stuff.
That's all completely thrown out in Korra. Each bending style no longer has it's own artform. You kind of just do it, and if you think you
@SaMBB28@AQuartermain@maklelan It's here you get confused and reveal you don't understand this world is temporary and the entire point is who goes in to Life and who goes in to the second death. God doesn't do these things for fun.
@SaMBB28@AQuartermain@maklelan What's described there in Isaiah looks more like prisoners of war. Which God then uses the occasion of their captivity to save the people of those other nations through their new found faith that God is the only god.
How good of God to have mercy rather than destroy them.
@DanielKlein42@maklelan There's no hints here of what you said.
And you'll just keep changing your story. Why talk to you? You hate with a passion a God you think is not even real? What's your deal?
Take your blessing and go.
Satan has turned mankind in to the walking joke of all existence end to end without exception among any one of us. Except the Christ.
And the Christ still saw fit to give his life for that joke. So we could be lifted up and returned to God's side.
Christ bless you, reader.
How utterly inhuman and ridiculous to stand around complaining about how EVIL God is and all the awful things he's done and how much they burn you up inside...
..then say in the next motion you don't believe in that God you condemn.
@Vegas82@maklelan Misrepresent what I said all you like. Curse my name to the Almighty's face all you like. I'm not afraid to face God now. You surely are. It's why you strike out so desperately.
Take your blessing and leave.
@DanielKlein42@maklelan You are a living joke of a human being.
I hope Christ comes down on your life with such eagerness that everything but desire to be saved by God's own hand is left. That nothing needed is left unturned to turn you to God in love.
Christ bless you accordingly. Against your will.
@DanielKlein42@maklelan And Abraham's son was still not sacrificed. Lie all you like God spared the son. And God's promise to Abraham about Issac came to pass.
You stop to think Abraham went knowing God's prior promises and knew God would do something? He likely did. And so God did do something.
@DanielKlein42@maklelan They existed in name, but in truth they were rebel servants of God. We'd call them angels now. Though that's a misuse of the term. They were originally to administer to the nations but decided to take dominion instead and rebel.
