But the Bible DOES speak about those who have a reprobate mind. Sorry. I think I had one at a time.

And if you're offended your just going to have to be offended. BECAUSE men who give up the knowledge of God and not to be included in their thinking can be given up with a reprobate mind ...[text shortened]... well, I might be able to think of just a couple of exceptions ... just a couple, over the years?

Does saying stuff about you on here which does not “tickle you pink” mean that the person has a “reprobate mind”?

When a person genuinely believes that the deliberate eternal burning alive of billions of human beings is God’s “perfect justice”....then yes it can.

I thought you said before billions and billions of people would be buttoning in hell. You’re now back to burning? When did that happen? Buttoning sounded much more pleasant.

Sonships certainty about obtaining everlasting life is all in his head.

Sonship will wait until the day of judgment, like the rest of us.

One’s eternal destination is decided by him or her - right here on earth. See John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 for starters.

Do you have Scriptural support for your belief one’s eternal destination is not determined until after they die and that God determines it?

You dont even know what the word reprobate means, Here is the Bible' definition and explanation. I would like to hear how is it that FMF qualifies as having a reprobate mind...

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:28-32 KJV)

[b]I think I'd rather die then be stuck with a mind like yours.

Does anybody else ever get as emotional and as scornful as this about fellow posters as a result of conversations (and disagreements) on this message board?[/b]

Anyone who thinks like you is already dead.

Oh, come on. We all have a list. What is yours?

I'd rather die than:

1. Being trapped in a room indefinitely with non stop Kate Perry songs playing in the background.

2. Being stuck on an international flight while sitting next to Dive while forced to have conversation on the existence of hell.

3. Having to fry bacon in the nude while starving to death and then having to sit there and smell it afterwards but unable to eat any.

4. Winning the lottery and then being told you have stage lV cancer

5. Being a lawyer to be forced to defend either Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton, or Harvey Weinstein.

It is possible that the mind you display here year after year after year is one that has been disapproved and given up by God.

I think I would rather die then be stuck with such a darkened mind.

But as long as it is called "today" there could be hope.

 So when you say you think you'd rather die than be stuck with a mind like mine, it is you expressing your hope for me that I might start believing in Jesus again?

You said it as revenge for something I said?

Oh, Kiddo. Why do you always make everything about you?

You’re not the center of the universe, Kiddo, and the stars don’t twinkle at night for you alone.

What makes you think I am "offended"? On the contrary, I am intrigued by what I see as your almost dysfunctional demeanour.

As you know, one of the reasons I enjoy participating in this community is I get to see how superstition and zealotry distort the intellectual and interpersonal behaviour of some religious people.

Why would I be "offended"? I am no more or less "offended" than when you call me a "follower of Satan" or a "liar".

You do tend to get offended quite easily, Kiddo. You shouldn’t take everything so personally.

Remember last week when you passed tiger in the hallway at school and he didn’t return your greeting? You were in a funk for days.

You see no such thing, Kiddo.

You’d have to know how people were before they became Christians or believers to be able to “see how superstition and zealotry distort the intellectual and interpersonal behaviour of some religious people.”

Without that information, you’re just blowing smoke.
