We believe that Christ's sacrifice made it possible for all men to be saved, as God is not partial. The train we are on is not taking us to paradise, dear lady, but to our death. It isn at that last station that God decides what will be our eternal home. According to Scriptures, that decision is based on how we behave on the train.

How very Jewish of you. ;-)

It sure is depressing and worrisome, one day all is good and the next day our Saviour sacrificed himself for nothing, because it all depends on the works you do, or don't do.

In all our discussions about translations (which I find open new avenues of study for me) has anyone said that it was a mistranslation when Jesus said "it is finished"?

Thank you. That's all you can say about the verses I used?

The Bible tells us that the heaven rejoices even if one lost soul returns to God. He is impartial and doesn't do the numbers game.

I am not sure what you are aiming at. "Finished" to me means that he completed that which He came to accomplish 7#151; to fulfill the Law.
