Don't you believe that Christians "get away with" whatever they do in their lifetimes [and, indeed, proceed to an everlasting life] as long as they sincerely believe they are forgiven by Jesus' sacrifice and if they sincerely believe that they are being repentant in the eyes of the "still living" Jesus?


It is apparent that you did not bother to listen to the matter of Four Kinds of Forgiveness recommended in my OP.

Fine. I am Ok with you believing what you want about what you find illusionary and not illusionary. Your certainty and sincerity has no effect on me.


And asking you to logically explain why a concept of eternal retribution has no effect on you either.

Trust you, it (eternal retribution) is necessarily wrong ?

I should trust your authority in this because _____________ ? Fill it in.

Your apathy to explain your position is suppose to have an effect on me?

There is no "apathy" at my end. I have told you why it is morally and psychologically incoherent and therefore nonsensical and thus not credible. You are blanking it out. I am not interested in your passive aggression.

No one is asking you to "to trust [my] authority". No one is aking you to trust me. You are reeling off rhetorical gimmicks.

It's not credible. Nor was Dasa's supernatural threat that I would be reincarnated as a cockroach. Not credible. No effect. No deterrence. No coercion. No coherence.

You want to take up your more comfortable position of NOT being on the defensive but putting me in the defensive.
I am not "on the defensive". Not in the slightest. I don't believe the stuff you believe; does that make you feel "defensive"?

I do not see your clear explanation why eternal retribution in concept is morally wrong on any grounds conceivable.
You are being dishonest and passive aggressive.

"I do the examining always and you do the defending always."
You have put this in quotation marks. I didn't say it. Where is the post? Is it on this thread? No, it isn't. You are being deceitful.

You wish to perpetually be the one doing the examination with questions don't you?
I am always open and honest and forthcoming about the beliefs I currently hold.

You believe the stuff that YOU believe.

And that stuff that YOU believe and often affirm is that there is an "torturer God ideology" which is morally wrong and inferior to what you believe.

But you slip away from telling us that the "torturer God ideology " is morally wrong. (Putting aside for the moment that your discription is not an appeal to emotions).

What civil punishment does not contain some unpleasant experience? And those are imperfect systems even prone to error.

On your authority we are to know that a perfect accounting to a perfect ultimate good does not exist.

You don't know that. You "lack a belief" that it does.
I lack a belief that I should assume your authority on the subject more reliable then that of Jesus Christ.

What I know comes from His mouth.

" But I am not here to convince anyone" you say - or something like that.

No FMF, the people who are not here to convince anyone don't participate in the Forum at all period. They're off making better use of their time (to their estimation) with totally other matters.

Your here to inform people like me that your ideology is better. Just admit it.

No, I don't "slip away". I am forthright and consistent. I have explained why I find the torturer god ideology morally incoherent -
to you, directly - maybe 20 or 30 times in discussions with you. You have been blanking it out.

I lack belief in your supernatural notions of "perfect accounting" and "a perfect ultimate good". I don't need you to lack belief in them too.

All of us here are simply sharing perspectives.

No one is saying you "should assume" anything as a result of hearing what my perspectives are.

I admit my beliefs and outliok are better for me because I lack belief in yours.
