You just posted that its a mistake to Trust in Christ while you are alive.
That is not what I wrote. (see my quote above)
You twisted what I said in order to bear false witness against me. Thanks.

I think it is a VERY good idea for a person to trust Christ while they are still alive.
The benefits of following Christ in this lifetime are plentiful.
Christ came to give us life. Not just life in the afterlife, but life NOW in the present.

The reality however, is that countless billions have gone into the afterlife with no knowledge whatsoever of Christ.
You are seeming happy to consign them to endless and pointless eternal torture. Correct?

Don't make me the bad guy.

That seems key to me. (good post, thanks)
Yeah. But then I had to rewrite it another 7 times, and it's still not right.

You now posted that its good for a person to trust in Christ while they are alive, yet your Universalism denies what you just posted.

And this denies what you just posted.......

That verse and image really sums it up up nicely. Thanks.
When we finally meet Jesus face-to-face, the absolute truth will be made known to us.
Or at least as much as we can comprehend. How much will we be allowed to know?
How long will it take to comprehend it all?

1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

That doesn't sound like an apology to me.

But what means are we saved?

You want me to apologize for the fact that you told Christians on this forum to only concern themselves with being saved, after they die, when they can't be saved?

The Devil loves your posts.........

No. You could apologize for twisting my words in a misquote and lying about me.
But you probably won't because you feel justified in your misdeeds. (the end justifies the means) ???

Thanks. I appreciate that.
Everyone likes to jump to conclusions instead of asking me what I meant.

That saw cuts both ways.

But my "saw" does not tell people to wait till they die, as they will be OK later, even if they die "In their sins" today.

So, you are lying to these people regarding them being able to receive salvation after they die.. having died as an UNBELIEVER,=rejecting Christ.

And you feel very smug and self satisfied to be getting away with this on a "christian" forum because the Mods here are not focusing on you and your theology......... yet.
