Consilius have given you guys the same interpretation of the same passages and we did not consult on it, it came from Gods revelation through scripture, two different denominations yet God revealed a truth to both, God does not choose sides, we are to choose His side or be left out. My self respect is not important it's what God thinks about Consilius and me.
But, GC, buddy, you're basing all of this on the assumption that god exists.
I think step one of this would be to really invest some time in considering that he might not exist. Do you have any tangible proof besides feelings?
I know God is real and I know He is who He says He is, I have no doubts about this, it is a sure thing. To look for an alternative would be lying to myself and that my friend would make me a liar. I have plenty of tangible proof, you want think it is because you did not experience it I did. I not one to try and fool myself, just isn't how I'm built.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
