this is what i call cherry picking by bible readers......
they use the words written in the bible to win arguments...
that is why they miss the forest for the trees...
what took you so long to respond?
Oh I'm sorry, I've been travelling and I have a life outside of this pinoydvd forum so there are times I cannot reply immediately.
Sounds nice but if you can't support that with the scriptures then we really can't reason out together and come up with the common understanding.
if you do not recognise that Jesus had to die on the cross
because of his love of humanity, your knowledge of the bible is useless.....
Err, can you elaborate your point further? How does this relate to my post?
Tell me, just because Jesus died for humanity everyone is already save? Everyone automatically a child of God so it is already ok to ignore other scriptures that talks about hell, or judgement or consequence of sin or wrath of God or pursuing righteousness and holiness?
the mortal sins we inherited have been forgiven with Jesus's death on the cross...
what personal sins?
we confess our sins to God and ask forgiveness and vow never to repeat them...
that done and we are good as new.....
are we talking the same God? cause my God is a loving God, does not threaten his children....
but loves them constantly.....
Only the mortal sins has been forgiven on the cross? Whose doctrine is this?
Just curious, are you really able to do this "vow never to repeat them" part? And you say only then you become good as new, so honestly how many times did you become good as new? I've never seen this in the bible, could you qoute your basis on this?
Indeed we are not talking about the same God because the God you know is half-truth. Bible refers to God both as King and Father. As a Father yes I agree with your understanding, He is loving and forgiving. But God is also a King, a righteous and just King that will execute fair judgement to all and disobedience has its consequences.
