Mar 23	revised	How does 1 John 2:19 fit with the teaching that Christians can lose their salvation added 4 characters in body
Mar 23	comment	How does 1 John 2:19 fit with the teaching that Christians can lose their salvation Also the following verses (Rev. 3:17-18) indicate that they weren't saved to begin with.
Mar 23	comment	How does 1 John 2:19 fit with the teaching that Christians can lose their salvation @GilbertLeBlanc Just because somebody is cold, lukewarm, or maybe even hot (IDK), does not necessarily mean that they are saved. Perhaps these "lukewarm" people in `Rev. 3:16` were not saved in the first place. As Jesus said, "Strive to enter by the narrow door for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.". Maybe the many lukewarm people you are referring to are the many people that will try to enter the narrow door, but will not be able to.

Mar 23	comment	Religious justification for creating a large angry scene with the ostensible purpose of making people not gay Yes, the point I was making is these "scenes" that Jesus made was due to the so-called God's people thinking he was speaking blasphemy. Jesus never went to a whorehouse with picket signs and shouted publicly "Repent!". The only people he reproached in their direct sin were those claiming to be God's people. We need to follow Jesus' example in the way he approached non-believers, and this isn't the way.

Mar 22	comment	Religious justification for creating a large angry scene with the ostensible purpose of making people not gay Could you provide examples where Jesus said such things to back up your answer? I doubt he ever stood amongst a group of particular sinners and shouted "repent! repent!" The stuff you are probably referring to are his statements that people (jews/pharisees) saw as blasphemy.
Mar 21	comment	What was it about the death of Jesus that allows God to forgive us? `John 19:36` - You would think a couple bones in the hands and feet were broken; the tarsals and metacarpals or w/e. A nail might pass through the hand if pierced in the right spot, but not likely the feet, given the size of the nails. Do you have any insight to that?

Mar 20	comment	Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? "Gosh", you might say you mean "God", but you say "Gosh", so its like the same thing.. But its not, because God is NOT what you mean! You mean to say the stupid phrase that has the meaning of "I'm surprised!" But you replace God with something that does NOT reference him (some random word..), so it is okay. If you don't think so, then you're basically saying no matter what word you use, it is taking his name in vain "because you mean to say God", even it is "Oh my kabbablshasm".
Mar 20	comment	Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? But with that being said, you should really think about the word you are using. Like "oh my goodness". What is "your goodness"? Is it God? Hmm
Mar 20	comment	Is saying “Oh My God” really using God's name in vain? @Kramii It would be interesting to know where "word" came from in that phrase. Biblically speaking, Jesus is the "word", so in that sense, even that could be taking the Lord's name in vain. Anyway, as long as the Lord isn't being referenced in any way, I don't think it is taking the Lord's name in vain. You can't take God's name in vain if his name isn't in the phrase. I'd agree with a_hardin
Mar 16	comment	What are the “correct” steps for a layman to be a Christian? I have been programming all day, and I heard algorithm in the question. my brain was in logic mode :)

Mar 15	comment	Are there any atheists in the Bible? @MarcGravell I said it was to me. And to me that's all that matters :) I think that if because of there not being those kinds of experiments, you say "there is no God" and base your entire existence and eternity on that, is rather sad
Mar 15	comment	Are there any atheists in the Bible? @MarcGravell Study Daniel 7 and read this. Tho idk if its empirical enough, its pretty amazing, and I would call that evidence. (The only thing I'm not sure if the article got right is G)
