There's that filthy apologist.
No, for real though, this is the response I expected from you Dich. The one and ONLY way to get around this biblical lie of "peace that passeth all understanding" is to discredit those who claim they were true believers.
Quote:Unfortunately for you, its merely your word against theirs, and I'm inclined to believe the person who actually HAD the feelings rather than the person that has an agenda to defend a book of lies.This statement is why I think you have confused the terms. A 'True believer' is not a title we give ourselves. It is awarded to those in whom Christ welcomes into Heaven. A Sincere believer is someone who truly believes that they believe or did at one time believed. Christ in Mt. 7 says not all who believe this will be welcomed into Heaven. On that day He will say "Away with you evil doer I never knew you."
Which means not all who 'believe they believe' Truly to according to Christ.
Quote:It's really your same old argument isn't it? "Well, he wasn't a TRUE CHRISTIAN ... because I say so."If this was my 'same old arguement' then you would think by now you would know the difference between those who Christ deems 'followers' and those who claim the title for themselves.
Quote:Of course, it's problematic for you because it happens all the time.Again not in the least as Christ Himself points out there are those who think they believe, and do all sorts of things in His name that never know God.
