Um Zé ninguém fechado com Jesus 🤝
Amo minha namorada.
Letras coloridas numa tela me deixam puto quando elas fazem exatamente o que mandei elas fazerem.
@CatholicDrip___ The word used for "church" in the original greek texts was "ekklesia", which means congregation or gathering of people.
The church is not a denomination or a building, it's a congregation of people in Christ's name.

The church is a congregation of faithful people, in Christ's name.
A church is not a building or a specific denomination.
@RV777m@bigjonsteel Cite me where in the Bible is the age of Earth mentioned.
The sun thing might've been an eclipse
Firmament could be referring to when the earth cooled down and the atmosphere was formed.
You can make a parallel between creation according to science and bible
@yzancap@Lucas25rockstar Se a votação for secreta, o Alcolumbre ganha. Não por pressão nem por a galera trocar o voto, mas sim pq o STF não ia deixar ele perder.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel True, God sets every lifespan. But if He cut people off at their worst, Saul, who hunted and helped kill Christians, dies young. Instead he became Paul and wrote much of the New Testament. God leaves room for repentance. That’s the point.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel 2 Pet 3:9: He is patient, “not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” Jesus knew Jerusalem would reject Him and still wept over it: “How often I wanted to gather you… but you were not willing” (Matt 23:37). Knowing ≠ not caring.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel A priest who can’t leave isn’t devoted. He’s a prisoner. That proves my point: removing the options removes the freedom. And if God killed everyone who’d do evil before they did it, who’d be left? “All have sinned” (Rom 3:23).
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel This is the parable of the prodigal son, which fits in this argument. Your question has been answered 2000 years ago.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel A father knew his son would take his inheritance and leave. He gave it anyway, for a son kept by force is no son. Every day he watched the road, and when the son returned, he ran to him. The son who never came back was not shut out. He stayed away. +
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel He can create a world where Hitler is a priest. What He can’t do is guarantee that a free Hitler freely chooses it without overriding his freedom. That’s not a lack of power. It’s a contradiction, like a square circle. Omnipotence doesn’t do nonsense.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel adding knowledge doesn't add causation. Knowing a choice isn't making it. "He set the world so you'd do it" assumes the very thing in dispute: that He writes the choice, not just the stage.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel Yes. A menu has limited options, and a friend might know you'll order the burger. You still ordered it. Knowing what I'll pick doesn't pick it for me. Limited options isn't no options.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel Certainty doesn't change who's choosing. And a sadist enjoys suffering. God says He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezek 33:11), then took the punishment Himself so no one has to. That's the opposite of sadism.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel Setting the stage isn't making the choice. Parents shape their kids' whole world, and we don't blame them for every choice the kids make. And if you're right, you're not responsible for this argument either. "Wrestle with it" assumes I can freely change my mind.
@Kentagaura@Beholdapalepon1@bigjonsteel Environment decides your options, not your choices. Millions grew up in Hitler's Germany with the same culture and propaganda. Most went along with it, while some hid Jews and died for it. Same environment, opposite choices. So the environment isn't the whole cause.
