Democrats still haven’t received the message…

I understand you're frustrated with the idea of grace and justice coexisting. How can someone who commits horrific acts be saved in the last moments of life while others who have lived decent lives might not be? Many lifelong, obedient Christians are upset over this, too.

Christianity teaches that salvation is based on grace, not merit. The idea is that no one earns heaven; it's a gift through faith in Jesus. This doesn’t mean justice is ignored. Actions have consequences, including punishment. A last-minute conversion is not fair. But from a theological standpoint, grace is about redemption. If the person truly becomes repentant and does not use it as a loophole undermining accountability, Jesus sees your heart and will save you.

I would expect it's really good. Lol. Is that really your argument?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the scorecard for Christians read ZERO?

I figured you’d bring up the Catholic Church as a response. In the end, no one knows where evil lurks, often it can be the wolf in sheep’s clothing. That doesn’t mean sheep are bad.

I didn't say all Christians are bad. On the contrary, what Christians say they believe in on a macro level is fine. Live your life that way. Believe in whatever you want that makes you feel better. But don't tell me how to live or legislate your religion such that I have to live my life by your rules. If you say you believe in a god and have given your life to him then actually practice it daily. And yeah, " we all sin so forgive me" is just a cop out.

Your wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf. He could be a Christian wolf who gets to repent his sins and give his life to Christ minutes before his life is ended........by people who supposedly believe killing is a sin.

The mediaexpert says a last minute confession is not fair. But he can easily wander off into hypothetical, theological platitudes to explain and justify it.

Catholic Bone and hypocrisy talk regularly here about slaughtering innocent human beings.......but you and yours are ok with sparing the wolves with the snap of gods finger. It's so ridiculous so many buy into this BS.......all for the promise of everlasting life........which you don't even know exists.

GOOD CATCH - "The mediaexpert says a last minute confession is not fair. But he can easily wander off into hypothetical, theological platitudes to explain and justify it."
MY BAD. I SHOULD HAVE SAID TO MOST PEOPLE FIND IT UNFAIR, AND I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN AN EXAMPLE.

ie - Come work for me for a day to help finish this project, and I will pay you $1,000. I then realized I needed more help and paid people $1,000 for only an afternoon of work to complete the project. It does not seem fair for the people who worked the whole day, but I paid them as promised a great reward. What is a greater reward than eternal Life..., two eternal Lives?

It is like the genie who promised the Irishman three wishes, and he chooses a stein that will continually refill with beer. A couple of hours later, the genie becomes impatient and asks if he has decided. The Irishman says, almost, but in the meantime, give me another one of these steins.

Which is real? Our finite life on earth or an infinite Life with Him? One is over in the twinkling of the eye, and the other is Life everlasting. You decide. I will live on earth with a smile, trying to help others. Daily, I walk through the shadow of death, not understanding the hell around me but being told not to fear and consider it all joy. When I die, I will die content. My prayers go to people who think they will do it my way because they know better. Is their life complete, or are they missing something?
