Created for a Purpose

We’ve all been taught ideas about who God is. Uncovering long-held doctrines that are more tradition than biblical is uncomfortable, but worth it.

@MattSmethurst If a finite being can never satisfy the infinite ‘debt’, then how does eternal hell satisfy God’s justice?? 🤷‍♂️

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

Unending punishment in hell is often defended by well-meaning Christians as a defense of God's perfect justice. But can it truly satisfy God's justice?

@JoshuaBarzon Would Judas pass your interview process? Or would you exclude him?
Jesus didn’t.

We all have two identities. One has to die so the other may live:

@sarahsalviander And that we can perceive it.

@RFupdates Yes. God’s will is universal salvation!
Once everyone comes into the full knowledge of the truth, why would anyone continue to reject God?
As Dr Craig says “God will work towards that end”.

@MikeWingerii ‘Private’ judgment has a redemptive purpose

@WhaddoYouMeme His promotional tactics seem to have prompted lots of Christians to go see it.

Why would a loving God would torment people in hell for all eternity?🤔 This is a stumbling block for many people, but it doesn't need to be.

@JarrodM76658055 @pudicat11 Evidence of conversion is the fruit of the spirit.

If your version of the gospel is never preached in the bible, you might want to revisit it.

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

Yes!

[Michael S. Heiser @DRMSHPhD]

For many, salvation is viewed strictly as a judicial matter, a guilty verdict overturned in a courtroom.

However, the biblical concept of salvation is far more relational. It is a covenant commitment. Just as Jesus calls His followers friends rather than servants, salvation is an invitation into a dynamic, intimate relationship with God, much like a marriage, rather than a sterile legal transaction.

The cross wasn’t a legal transaction to get us to heaven. It was the moment God moved to reclaim and restore the whole of creation and commissioned us to join Him in that mission here and now, on earth..

@pudicat11 right! we don't give ourselves over to it. We are slaves to Christ, not slaves to sin. This should be an obvious difference between a Christian and an unbeliever.

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

@pudicat11 Yes, because the internal battle with the flesh continues, but Paul is talking about a change of allegiance, not instant perfection. There's a big difference between stumbling while resisting sin and, living in total harmony with it.
Who do we allow to rule our daily lives?

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

@pudicat11 In Romans 6, Paul says "Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?"..."Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions." "Do not let sin control the way you live"
What does Paul mean?

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

@pudicat11 But no change will be noticed by anyone?

[Created for a Purpose @CreatedforaPur1]

@pudicat11 It sounds like you are just being a good friend to them.
What do you think happens to them at Baptism? Is this where the only difference lies? Jesus makes their sin His own sin?

What work will the Spirit of God do in them if no change will be evident?
