I used to think how blind could those guys were, until someone asked me if there
were things God was attempting to show me that I was ignoring or was blind
too. We all need eyes to see, we need the grace of God to get from where we are
to where we need to be. Don't be so ready to find the faults in others when we
may share them and we are blind to them.
Do you have things that God is trying to show you, that you are missing?
Good post and realistic.
The basic human problem since the fall of man - we are not for God. We are invariably for something other than God.
We are deceived in that way - of simply not being for God. It takes great mercy upon us for us to see this, and the folly of it.

own eyes and see the logs in them, and they are there no doubt about it. I wish I
was more forgiving, more graceful, but we all are what we are and it is God's
sanctification work in each of us that is changing us. I'd say the most troubling
thing here is how we Christians bite and devour one another, God must be grieved
and we cause His name to be smeared because of us. Please note, I'm saying "us"
I'm just as bad as anyone else.
Galatians 5: 13-24
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

@chaney3 saidI have again lost interest in your blitherings. I refer you to my heartfelt and sincere post on page 3.
No, I don't think I believe in hell.
I have the same problem as you, which is why I'm commenting.
If God loves us, and Jesus died for us, then maybe we're all saved somehow. Not sure how, but true love doesn't send us to an eternal hell.
Isn't God true love?
@divegeester saidFU then.

By the way, try discussing things. You've become a dullard by assuming you can make 1 post, and continuously ask people to look at it. Be fluid, and stay relevant.
Dullard.

tiger’s rejection of hell and belief everyone goes to heaven is totally unBiblical - Jesus talked about hell more than He talked about heaven - and denies that God is just in addition to being merciful and forgiving.
In tiger’s view, the abused child in heaven will be dancing through meadows with her unrepentant attacker.
What a silly tiger!

This in spite of the fact that neither has replied to you in months. - Creepy.
Copying Dive's avatar (and probably caressing it on your monitor). - Creepy.
(A creepiness clearly identified by the mods who have recently removed several of your posts).
.......Creepy.
