To: EnglishCon; Elsie
For all I know God is sitting in your chair typing your recent responses. I rather hope not though, because some of them really recant our Saviours message that God loves us all, regardless.

I don't think that I've ever seen Elsie for all the years I've known him, ever post anything that indicates that God doesn't love everyone. Nor do I think that anyone outside of some WBC type group would claim so.

But there's a world of difference between God loving everyone, which He does, and everyone making it to heaven, which not all are.

God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to live the life we couldn't live, to die the death we couldn't die, to pay the penalty we are incapable of paying. He determined the times set for us and the exact places where we should live so that men might seek Him and perhaps reach out and find Him (Acts 17). He's given us the Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and draw all men to Himself. He's commanded all men everywhere to repent. He's done everything for us short of making us robots with no ability to choose in order to save us.

Anyone who is not saved is in that position of their own choice. God still loves them but they have no one to blame but themselves for not coming to Him.

Elsie speaks against the lies of Mormonism using their writings and Scripture to prove it. If someone is offended by that, it is the offense of the cross - the message of the Gospel.

You are, as always, correct.

There were some things said I found distasteful in how they were put. Could have been a bad choice of words. Could have been a failure of comprehension on my part (much more likely!).

I have freepmailed Elsie and asked if he minds if we move the discussion to mails, rather than in a thread. (unsure about the time zone difference, so at least we can talk and know the other will see and respond.)

Brilliant
