Truth? On what basis? His own reasoning? Certainly not truth based in scripture.

Once again, my sharing the gospel (good news) with someone will not keep them from Hell. Repentance and faith are necessary components of salvation, neither of which I can do for a person. However, He has chosen to use believers to spread that good news, and that is truly humbling. Could He...

Well, there are only two destinations...Heaven or Hell. But, once again, I cannot change anyone's destination. All of us deserve God's wrath (Hell), but on some, God has mercy... What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have...

Please re-read my previous post....I cannot prevent God from doing His will. I share the Gospel with people because I understand it is God's power for salvation... For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and...

I cannot prevent God from doing His will.... At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures...

I think you are misunderstanding the God of the Bible. Love is not His only attribute. He is also a God of wrath...and He has other attributes as well. What do you mean by "whos(e) actions must be prevented"?

I'm not real clear on the question. Can you rephrase?

How else will you deal with your sins before a holy God?

Were you there at the beginning so that you can show us this process? I think you need to examine your assumptions.

Remember ...it has never been about physical Israel... But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Neither are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac...

Well, Christianity itself is a worldview...the worldview of those who follow Christ. I think you can more easily look at the purpose(s) of Jesus as He is the one who actually accomplished what was set before Him. A couple verses come to mind... She will give birth to a son, and you are to...

The author to the Hebrews answers both questions rather nicely: And just as it is appointed for people to die once—and after this, judgment— so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to...

Is there a reason you've asked about this specific argument?

Though I don't use this argument, I'll throw out a response to get the ball rolling. :) Sure...Though He didn't make it simple, I suppose that He could have. I will not presume to answer the why question. For as heaven is higher than earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My...

How do you, in a worldview without revelation from God, account for logic?

OK...how did you arrive at this theory? Did you use logic?

How can you evaluate Christianity without taking into account the revelation from Christ?

The God of the Bible needs to be defined on the basis of ...the Bible...not what you like/dislike about Him.

I would agree with you on these points, Hestha :) With ~340 OT quotes and ~2300 OT allusions in the NT, you cannot reliably understand much of the NT's argumentation without a good understanding of the OT. In my opinion, this is why many Christians have a bad hermeneutic that leads to...

Thankfully, God has revealed truth to us in His word (which was not "cobbled together by people many years after the alleged events took place" in response to one of your other posts). The Christian also has discernment and right reasoning (through regeneration and the Holy Spirit) that can...
