Do YOU personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior as the Holy Scriptures teach.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Our Creator God absolutely has a tremendous sense of humor. He invented humor and created us with the capacities for appreciating and generating it.

I'd appreciate some explanation, since you put me to the trouble of responding to it, for your flippantly erroneous challenge to the standard translation of Hebrews 11:6.

Like a mod; I don't explain myself often.

One either gets how my warped brain works or not.

(Sometimes I forget that a /sarc tag is needed on certain things...)

I affect a lot of folks. (or is it Effect them?)

On a thread recently, a catholic apologist asked if Protestant salvation is just to escape judgment ...

The first or the second??

LOL!

[Elsie]

Having been raised Catholic, I "knew" there was a 33% chance he was in heaven but a 66% chance he wasn't ... which I thought was lousy odds

Beats being Mormon.

They only have a 15% chance of being in GOD the Fathers presence in Heaven: Level One.

[Elsie]

Might?

MIGHT???

[Elsie]

I appreciate your dogged determination to get scriptural answers.

Some folks don't like to be pinned down to the Scriptures for 'answers'.

[Elsie]

He who believes in him and performs Sacrements is not judged."

Oh NO!

I've gotten in trouble again!

[Elsie]

He invented humor and created us with the capacities for appreciating and generating it.

Even MY sarcastic brand of it??

1 Kings 18:27

At noon Elijah began to taunt them. “Shout louder!” he said. “Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.”

[MHGinTN]

That’s about enough. Don’t add words to what I post from scriptures without making it clear that it is you who has added tot he scripture passage. I don’t appreciate you suing my quoting of the Bible passage to send your message, without making it plain that it is you who have made the change.

[MHGinTN]

suing? LOL, make that USING.

JMO, but there an equal chance that we are descended from aliens as there is that we were created in the image of God, Allah, Buddha, Joseph Smith, whoever, etc.

[MHGinTN]

God made you so you could believe. what you believe will depend upon what you put your faith in. If God is not a liar, then His statements about Himself in the Bible are a sound thing upon which to place your faith. You will have faith in something, even lies that aliens might tell you about themselves.

Look carefully at your computer ... not the screen, the computer generating the screen images. The very existence of that computer demands creator of the thing. Now look at the world around you, wherever you are. The creation requires a creator.

[jimbo807]

How do you personally know that what you personally believe is universally true? If the yardstick is a personal relationship with an almighty, timeless being (however that works), how is not open to some interpretation?

[jimbo807]

OK. In this case it is Steve Jobs.

How do you know the chair at which you aim your bottom will hold your assault? You trust that it will, then test it by sitting down. I’ve been ‘testing’ the efficacy for more than forty years. At this stage I am absolutely and unequivocally convinced. Been that way for a few years. I know God is so Holy and Righteous and that I am not, without His provision for me to be, through His Son’s Blood shed 2000 years ago. As I have walked in that faith He has revealed some astonishing things, things that I share in one form or another. Try it, you’ll like it. even Mikey likes it!

[jimbo807]

I’m glad it works for you and you believe it. If it helps you there is nothing wrong with that.
