I'd say most of us have either seen or been through Hell while we were on earth -- and the Devil couldn't come up with anything much worse than what we've already been through courtesy of humans (the ones who "love the sinner and hate the sin" kind) -- so, I'd think we'd be on the fast track to Heaven!

Not that I have any expectations that many (most) people are going to be happy to see us...

Haven't seen anyone gnashing their teeth or being eaten by worms here, while burning, but I guess I could have missed it. Courtesy of humans(the ones who "hate the sinner and love the sin" kind):doh: --so, I don't think there is a faster track for anyone to Heaven!

I can testify that the burning and weeping through the gnashing of teeth is not something for anyone to desire.

I also thought it odd for uber to believe satan would be an administrator of punishment in Hell, as I have never read anything to allude to him being respected above the rest condemned there

You mean the ones that said homosexuals will go to hell in that poll? 43 people said they are most likely not even saved? No, that isn't judging or wrong at all? :confused:

I guess there's just no accounting for what people are told they believe -- especially when they're held accountable for what people tell them they believe, whether or not that has any basis in reality.

Then you believe that Jesus' death and resurrection are insufficient to secure our salvation?
Homosexuals in general are not going to ALL go to heaven, because of their treatment on earth.

You don't go to heaven or hell by sin choices, you go to heaven or hell by God drawing His sheep (His flock).

" NOT BY WORKS of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us,. . ." Titus 3:5

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9

". . . the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

". . .by the righteousness of one THE FREE GIFT came upon all men unto justification of life." Romans 5:18

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a TIME accepted, and in THE DAY OF SALVATION have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted TIME; behold, now is THE DAY OF SALVATION.)" 2 Corinthians 6:2

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

"Being BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." 1 Peter 1:23

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38

"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:29

". . . him that cometh to me I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT." John 6:37

"And ye are COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the head of all principality and power:" Colossians 2:10

"And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30

". . .after that ye believed, YE WERE SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise," Ephesians 1:13

"If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF." 2 Timothy 2:13





and for all those who think that their repentance takes them to heaven:

". . . and all OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES are as filthy rags;. . ." Isaiah 64:6

I never said you couldn't be a carnal Christian. It's possible, but after awhile God should atleast start pushing this on you, and you will eventually have to make a choice.

No, I don't believe that.
Eternal Security is taught by the best Theologians, including Charles Stanley. I'm sorry, I believe them over you. Why would God ever want us to question our salvation? Salvation isn't an "at will" employment. God says it's a free gift, so does He take His "free gift" away from people?

Side note:
I meant this thread to take another turn, I wanted it to be deleted to include a poll, but nonetheless, it will just get buried after a few days I'm sure, and I'll start another one w/a poll and explain my thought process and intent in clear, concise direction of thought.

Please elaborate. This post is ambiguous in message, although not necessarily in your train of thought and intent.

Ok, you need to read exactly what I said, as I was NOT saying what you think. I said I don't believe that Jesus; death was NOT all we need. It had nothing to do with what you just said.

So, before you clarified that -- exactly HOW would we have had any way of knowing what you meant?

And you know we're "carnal Christians" based on... ....we're not like you?

Are heterosexual liberal Christians "carnal Christians", too?

And when did God give you the authority to make that call?
