If you are right, then no problem. My inefficiency isn't an excuse for another fallible human.
God is the answer, Not I.
2 Peter 1:8-11 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Could I ask... what your deal is? You come onto atheist forums acting like the Bible doesn't promote slavery, like wtf dude.
If you can show Jesus rose from the dead, there's no goddamn need to dance around this other stuff. God endorses slavery, but so what atheists, I proved Jesus rose from the dead so checkmate! All you do by denying the obvious is make yourself look like a fucking asshole.
To you, a fallible man. I'm not against you, but I get the impression that you assume I am. Fair enough. I am also fallible and can't be considered sufficient on my own. However, I am not the answer and as such I should not be someone else's excuse.
If I spoke of myself, then my hope would be the best all of us, bit I believe that to be consistent with what God has said.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
