Sounds reasonable to me
I've come to the conclusion you care nothing for a good conversation, all you are interested in is to insult. Cheap shot artist comes to mind.
I have no gods, I serve only the one true God. Jesus was talking about not showing off, pompous if you will.
Cheapshot artist hey??
Then look closely at the case of one Andrea Yates http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notor...tes/5.html
A woman who truly believed that the only way to save her five children from hell was to kill them by drowning before they "stumbled".
And thereby,incidentally, carrying your theology to its logical conclusion.
So again, is this woman a good christian?
Because she is a true believer afterall.
BTW I think the REALLY interesting person in this joyously christian case is the family pastor, Michael Woreniecki.
From the article....
Quote:According to a former follower, the religion preached by the Woronieckis involves the idea that women have Eve’s witch nature and need to be subservient to men. The preacher judged harshly those mothers who were permissive and who allowed their children to go in the wrong direction. In other words, if the mother was going to Hell for some reason, so would the children.
The lady was very mentally disturbed, she was nothing less than a murderer of her children. Her status for salvation belongs to an omniscient God.

Stop skirting the issue. Either the works matter to god or they don't. If they don't, then they neither help nor hinder your getting into heaven. Is that about it?
Sorry that you can not see that I have given you the answer and did not skirt around anything.
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.
