    Praying to Saints

    People pray to saints due to Bible illiteracy. They haven't developed confidence in God that He hears our prayers, so they include praying to fallible people instead of a infallible Father God. Scripture teaches "there is one God and one moderator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus" (1...

    Catholic vs. Protestant – why is there so much animosity?"

    To hide behind the "official teachings of the RCC" is a convenient path to remain in the dark. Most Catholics are instructed in Catholicism from infancy and never consider whether its doctrines are correct. They remain Catholics out of fear of retribution from family and friends, and enjoy the...

    How do people who are "unconditionally loved" end up in hell?

    You say it doesn't match scripture because you haven't encountered His amazing love. You're stuck in the Old Testament and haven't engaged in the New Covenant of love.

    How do people who are "unconditionally loved" end up in hell?

    Anyone who rebuffs the price Jesus paid to redeem mankind deserves hell. They rejected His unconditional love which is tragic.

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    What a senseless question and waste of time! Why not use whatever version the Bible teaches and change the world around us instead of finding ways to discredit the Word of God. Errors?

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    I agree that God's ways/acts have changed when all sin of the world was imputed to Jesus, thereby leaving an continual open invitation on His part to bring us into fellowship with Him.

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    Why do you think failure is any part of God's goodness? He was forced to enact a plan when foreknowledge revealed man's weakness after transgression.

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    No human being has to strive to be free from sin. We are to rest in what Jesus did for us, and that allows to be free from the dominance of sin.

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    Sin, suffering, and evil were never part of God's plan. Anyone who subscribes to this grossly misunderstanding of God's goodness hasn't grasped a Biblical understanding of the gospel of Christ.

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    You are correct: we can't evaluate God by what is happening in a world that is flawed and altered by sin. We evaluate God by revelation from His Word. When you live in His Word, you'll get a revelation of the truth, because truth gives no choice in freedom. Truth makes you free! John 8:32...

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    His will is goodness and mercy will follow us and hunt us down all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6)

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    It wasn't God's plan for Adam & Eve to transgress. His foreknowledge knew about it, but He didn't create Adam & Eve to fail. Because He desires us to respond to him out of choice, He gave Adam & Eve free will, or else we would all be robots. Love is anchored in choices, not demands.

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    Hell exists because sin entered the world. It wasn't God's plan for man when fallen angels created the need for outer darkness, judgement, and eternal destruction (Jude 6-7). Our human justice system - even though superior to other countries in the world, is corrupted and perverted by fallen...

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    God's love for humanity is beyond the human heart of men to comprehend. He only has love for us as described in 1 Corinthians 13. His heart is broken by our sinfulness because He knows the destruction of sin in our lives. God doesn't know all the choices we will make because He gives us a...

    Is God responsible for sin, evil and suffering?

    You are correct: God doesn't take pleasure or delight in cruelty. Anyone going to hell by rejecting Jesus brakes the heart of Father God.
