I'm curious as to how this transition from fundamentalist to agnostic took place.  When I was immersed in fundamentalism as a youth, questioning or doubting its tenets was unthinkable.  So powerful was its hold that I was only able to shake loose from it after leaving home and then only very...

Exactly.  That's why you don't get any from me. $

Since the stooge saw fit to repeat the profanity that I moderated the last time, I've removed his whole post. - Ransom

Look at the little nobody:  A big man in his little electronic world.  Do you actually think I give a hoot what you do or don't do? $

The collection of letters I used is not really a word!  How can it be inappropriate? $

If a child is born with a cleft palate we surgically alter the body to fix that. Gender dysphoria is also a medical condition.  If a child is born with the characteristics that cause gendor dysphoria to develop and wishes to have their body surgically altered to relieve that, why not?  Who's it...

Just in case. $

Surely you jest.  Getting a little carried away here aren't we General? $

This thread is a colossal waste of God's electrons.  Nouns, pronouns my [deleted].  Adjectives too. Who is claiming that sex and gender are the same thing?  What does poor Reimer's ordeal have to do with the price of poutine in Gatineau?  Few people, if any, are being forced to accept a new...

From James 2: "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?  Can that faith save him?" "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?  You see...

Okay.  But let's include Luke's Gospel too, Chapter 18: "And a ruler asked him, ?Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life??  And Jesus said to him, ?Why do you call me good?  No one is good except God alone.  You know the commandments:  ?Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do...

You stated that "there will be no saved at the GWT."  The passage in Revelation does not say that.  It does say that "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire" which implies that there will be some there whose names are written in the...

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul said you are saved through faith and not by works. According to the Gospel of John, Jesus said all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life ... Clearly there's a conflict here.  $

Paul's words.  Why then would Jesus not have said: ...... those who have been saved through faith to the resurrection of life, and those who have not been saved through faith to the resurrection of judgment? If good works are the byproduct not the means, then one would think that the means...

"And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." From this it can be inferred that there will be some at the Great White Throne whose names will be found written in the Book of Life.  Otherwise, why use the word "if?" $

Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.  For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.  And he has given him authority to execute...

"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.    And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life.  And the...

Theological advice?  None proffered.  Just an observation that likening Maggie McMuffin to Scribes and Pharisees is moronic.  Maggie's right:  You and the pilots need sensitivity training. $

Yes, I can see it now:  Great big trans-genders showing their stuff in the ladies room.  Terrified girls running screaming from ladies rooms all over the land.  It's going to be nightmarish.  After all, 3 out of every 1000 people are transgender and all they want to do is invade the...

We gave them the nuclear bomb?  Oh dear, I wasn't aware of that.  That changes everything. $
