ZOT is the answer!

Apparently there have been some 'Snake-Oil' salespersons selling Jesus as a cure-all.

For instance I am acquainted with two individuals who profess to be Christians. One is a confessed thief and the other a habitual liar (people pleaser). These two expect God to 'fix' them. So if God chose to take on that responsibility then the next morning the thief wakes and reaches up to scratch his nose only to discover his hands are missing and the liar is unable to speak as his tongue is missing.

I don't know anything but I'm pretty sure we're still responsible for our choices and life is a series of choices. We are responsible for our daily renewal.

Following this line of reasoning should lead one to conclude that God made a mistake in creating man in the first place...

That He didn’t know that man would sin against Him until Adam did so... and of course if God didn’t know what was coming, and furthermore didn’t have a plan for it, then He must not really be God then, and if He isn’t God, then there is no God.

Fact is, there really is not much need for God to punish those who sin against others on a daily basis, because the consequence of the sin normally returns to the sinner in one way or the other... because we reap what we sow... The thief gets his hand cut off by the merchant, the liar is found out and stoned... or at least is no longer trusted, and ultimately the penalty for the mere fact that we are all sinners is physical death.

This physical death is not the same as our spiritual death.
Those who have found Jesus have found eternal life AFTER their physical death, and the ETERNAL consequence for their sin has been paid for by Jesus Himself.

No... we do not escape our sins... all will give an account.
But to relate everything needing a “cure” to the physical and temporal realms is simply narrow minded.

I have read your posting history and based on my extensive research I can say, without a doubt, unequivocally, that you, sir, are a yogurt head.

The ultimate illness is separation from God. Jesus IS the cure for that illness.

So perfect and eloquent, I thought it needed a repeat run.

Guess your friends are missing the point then, huh.

Calling the Zotmaster 9000...

[impimp]

How does one tell if one IBTZ OR IATZ? I can’t tell when the ZOT takes place. Who is the Zotter? Does the Zot occur when the Zot makes a post?

[parsifal]

So I take it this would not be the time to start a “Hail Satan, Lord of the Universe” thread?

parsy, who can’t believe how fast the lightning struck

[bamahead]

I sense lightning in your future...

IF Jesus is not the answer, then you’ve asked the wrong question!!

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. - 2 Corinthians 7:10
