@hookskat His wife suffered severe knee pain so she prayed for healing to finish the journey—the pain disappeared. My uncle, however, found a deep connection with God on this journey —now he wants to be Baptized.
God has His ways of reaching his children. I’m confident you will find Him.
@hookskat This is a true story.
Just last month, I met my dear Aunt and Uncle after many years. They just went on the Camino De Santiago Trail in Spain. He had been an “agnostic/atheist” all his life. His wife wanted to go, so he came along.

@hookskat Your 5 y.o self asked a great question, but your Evangelical dad likely couldn’t answer it.
God couldn’t “just forgive us” because God is “God of Love & Mercy”, but also “God of Justice”.
Pure 100% “Substitutional Atonement” by Jesus (as Evangelicals believe) is not Biblical:
@hookskat @yesiwetmyplants Protestants got it wrong…
Bible says:
(1 John 5:16-17)
1.) There is SIN that “leads to DEATH”(HELL) AND
2.)There is SIN that “DOES NOT lead to DEATH”.
NOT all sins deserve HELL.
If you ASK for forgiveness, God still gives LIFE to those “committing sins NOT leading to DEATH”
@yesiwetmyplants Let’s examine in Context: (1John5:16-17) CLEARLY states
1.) There is SIN that “leads to DEATH”
AND
2.) There is SIN that “DOES NOT lead to DEATH”…and God still gives life to those “committing a sin NOT leading to DEATH”.
ALL SINS are NOT the same!
Therefore, PURGATORY exists.
@hookskat If you seriously want Truth…look seriously into the Shroud of Turin: Proof of Jesus’s Resurrection.
Contemplate key FACT about the Shroud of Turin:
NO IMAGE under blood stains, so the IMAGE must come AFTER the blood stains…ie IMPOSSIBLE for“artist”to do at a microscopic level.
@hookskat You said,“When studying the history of the church and the NT, I am convinced of this.”
Are you absolutely sure you did not
1.) missed key evidence supporting the Bible
2.) misinterpret the evidence
3.) miss logical answers to your questions
4.) get influenced by biased opinions?
@hookskat 2 of 3–
2.) Secular Social Media is CURRENTLY “Preparing the “Explanation” of the prophesied “Illumination of Conscience”—using the 3I/ATLAS Comet & Massive Solar Flares as “an explanation”. But it’s unlikely you’ll accept the “Solar Flare Explanation” bc I’m telling you NOW.
@Mirthosium@hookskat There’s always a debate whether
1.) God condemn people to hell OR
2.) Some people will CHOOSE hell over God.
Thank you for proving #2 in True.
@hookskat Yes, your life has meanings, because you did what Jesus wanted us all to do: “Feed the hungry”.
The question is: How long will those meanings last? Who will remember them long after you & I are gone?
I teach Sunday School, and we actually discussed this exact topic yesterday.
@sola_chad (Roman 8:29-30) describes that Mary was PREDESTINED & JUSTIFIED SINLESS & CONFORM to the IMAGE of God’s Son JESUS (ie SINLESS) so that her FIRSTBORN (JESUS) will remain SINLESS in His IMAGE and be able to be human among his “brothers” on Earth.
@FancyABQ@sola_chad Your WORKS cannot be perfect…
But can be perfected by Christ…if you allow Him.
Understand this to understand Jesus’s mission…
And understand YOUR mission…to help Jesus achieve His Prayer…starting with YOU:
“Thy (God’s) Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”(Mthw 6:10)
@jonnymarine09@sola_chad Roman 8:29-30 describes that Mary was PREDESTINED & JUSTIFIED SINLESS & CONFORM to the IMAGE of God’s Son JESUS (ie SINLESS) so that her FIRSTBORN (JESUS) will remain SINLESS in His IMAGE and be able to be human among his “brothers” on Earth.
As in REV 12,we are Mary’s Children.
