To me, Jesus is like God's right hand reaching down to earth to steer the ship. My hands are an integral part of me as Jesus is to the father. If I'm driving, my hands are controlling the wheel, making every turn, every lane change. They cannot however, tell you where we're going or when we'll...

As I understand it, apocatastasis is about the final restoration of all sinful beings unto God. Not exactly what I was saying, but does more or less tie in with it. See also Acts 3:21

Perhaps this is the crux of the problem with understanding in general?

My neighbor says, when the novelty of the Smarty wears off for his kid, he plans to mount a mower deck under it and cut his grass with the AC cranked! :D

To me, the way Jesus taught us to live and our salvation go hand in hand. Yes, there are some followers of the Christian faith that incorrectly view their salvation through Jesus as a get out of jail free card and continue to do as they please, but I don't think your statement holds for the vast...

Matthew 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood...

Well, I don't completely disagree with what you're saying, but as I've said, Jesus dying on the cross and subsequent resurrection is the corner stone of Christianity. Jesus' entire purpose was to secure our salvation. The rest of his teachings were all about walking the straight and narrow so as...

Yea, the last Smarts sold here were electric. To little to late I suppose as they've stopped importing them altogether now. The problem with the gas version in our market was, they never did achieve the projected mileage, they're way under powered for our road systems, expensive to repair and...

Not exactly. I was just trying to explain my mindset and the way I read the Bible. As I said, there's just no one specific thing I can point to as to why I believe that. It's just an overall vibe I get.

@dattaswami2 You were told not to post links. That doesn't mean you can re-post your blogs here! IO is not an advertising medium nor a place for soapbox preaching! Please don't make me put my mod cap on, it pinches my forehead....

I believe the Biblical account of Jesus, who he was, why he died and all that, simply because it resonates with me and aligns with personal experiences and thoughts I had, long before ever picking up the book. Mind you, while I did grow up in a Christian household of sorts, we were not regular...

LOL, Yea, I have brief moments of clarity now and then. ;)

My own personal belief is, that you can pray to God, ask to be forgiven and receive salvation. I'd even take it a step further and say, it may well be possible in certain cases to receive forgiveness without even asking or believing in God for that matter. However, I also believe it was Jesus...

Well, no doubt in my mind Jesus, as God in the flesh died on the cross and rose again, thereby defeating death (Satan) and securing salvation for the repentant. That said however, I don't think a person necessarily has to believe that or even be aware of it to receive that salvation. Why I...

You can PM me if there's something you want to discuss.

More to it of course, but salvation is the cornerstone of Christianity. That's why it is sometimes stressed over all else. The point I was trying to make in the post you quoted part of is, however great the need for salvation may be, not everyone wants or will except it and the more they are...

That was all explained to you here and on other threads you've started: https://www.interfaith.org/community/threads/20048/

"Why am I here?" On the planet: For God's glory, in whatever direction that may lead. On this forum: As with anything else, by his grace to learn, share and when possible, help others do the same.

All, but two and one store bought! :D Yep and it get's easier to count them everyday! :D

Let's see, here of late it's, Lord's prayer, bathroom, teeth brush, hair comb, tea, pills. :D
