As long as it leads to something, life is good.
Again, knowing when and where to apply which of those verses requires us to do quite a bit of judging... but such is the life of a follower of Jesus.
I am not perfect in my faith. I fall more times than I stand and walk straight. Which is why I need to be covered by The Blood. That said, those who are to be saved, and stand in glory before God on that great and terrible day, their names have been written in The Book Of Life since before time began. Neither you nor I can save anyone whose name already appears there, nor can we save any whose name does not.
I am ready, in any season, to answer why I have the hope that I do. And there are likely no Freepers, lurkers or Trolls here on FreeRepublic who have not already heard the life story of Jesus Christ.
Keep the faith. I will too.

Then why try? Why believe? You either are or you are not. Do realize how close that is to Hegel's dialectical materialism on which Karl Marx's and Frederich Engel's Communist Manifesto is based?
I go back to my original opinion. You are a self-righteous judger who thinks you are among the chosen and can therefore pass judgement on others, even though you deny you think that. No need to discuss it further.
>Comedy is subjective, and I dont find him funny. What do you want to debate next, what the best song or color is?
Color.
And the answer is, of course, Red.
Why red? Red is the color of blood — which is usually what anything of lasting value is paid with — and the linkage to the symbolic-attributes of blood:
— Strength
— Passion
— Courage {as in spilling blood}
— Life! {Life is in the blood}
Before you call me Communist, consider how many good things are commandeered and twisted to evil purposes:
- Language. It is good to be able to convey ideas; yet this gets twisted around, especially in the form of ‘political correctness.’
- Free Will, the freedom of choice, & the right to choose: all part of the same GREAT idea; horribly misapplied in the Abortion debate (another language-twisting).
Of course I’m also saying “Red” because it is my favorite color.
;)
You’re a bunghole?
It's actually much worse than that. If you're real lucky, you can just take my word for it.
