Choose To Believe??

Regeneration places us in Christ through faith. We are justified by this faith. (Romans 5:1; Gal 3:24) This IS the gospel.

Regeneration and Faith are distinct; two Categories. Therefore Regeneration is Life only. Faith Justifies Us...

My understading is that temporary Christians aren't Christians. Doesn't regeneration by God give us faith?
1 PETER 1:22-24

My brother never talked about Christ or owned a bible or knew what the Bible said. He was an alcolyte for s couple of weeks in a military chapel when he was about 9 or 10.

I choose not to believe and go to hell and eternal punishment." Which of course is a completely illogical and impossible statement.

Do you really believe that God would send an unbeliever to a fiery place of torment for an eternity for living a vapors worth of life?

If that's the case, he's not the loving just God you guys claim.

That is the Doctrine of the Bible...

God loves his Saints, and will protect them from Evil. A discussion about how evil the least Sin is, is apropriate...

Hell is the pit - the grave. Two different words - Gehenna which is a garbage dump - and Hades which is about the same.

God isn't judged by anyone's personal notions of love and justice. His utter purity demands that unholiness —his power demands that rebellion against him— be utterly removed, his love demands that his purposes be fulfilled without spot or blemish.

You seem to think that there is such a thing as an unimportant sin. But it is a strange notion that thinks any contrariness against God's being is a small thing, combined with considering one of God's creatures to be more than a chemical marvel. Why should the potter be assessed by the clay as unloving for destroying the marred vessel? What is the sinner really worth, to God? Can you prove that God intends to save everyone (but is unable)?

God hates evildoers.

The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.

What are you even talking about? Make a case.

Really huh? Amazing how presumptuous...

Make a case! This is a discussion board, not a board for irrelevant, unproductive comments.

We don't make the claim that God is only love or that sin goes unpunished.
