"Where is the free will in Love Me Or Burn Forever?"

[Athanasius]

Passionate agreement is always great to see.

Perverting my comments is not.

God is one individual person. Not three.

Christ is that person.

No trinity.

No twinity.

For a moment there I was worried you had latched onto one word and run with it. Your intellectually dishonest approach and exacerbatory strategies have overstayed their welcome.

It's binity, by the way.

[Titus]

That's a shame.

I guess you'll have to go back to being here all by yourself and chatting with your other sock-puppet User Names, ay?

We could've had a lotta good conversations concerning Scripture.

If you keep kicking everybody outta your site here, you're never gonna get it going like it could be.

All this censorship nonsense really impedes the development of a lotta these sites.

Hope you come to understand the Truth of the Scriptures. They are undeniable upon diligent study and observation.

God bless.

Oh, and twinity is a new trending name for Father and Son-only doctrine. I prefer it to binity. Sounds better and rhymes with the other false doctrine. Not that it matters, it's entirely unbiblical. Call it what you like.

[RabbiKnife]

Take the red pill.

[Athanasius]

I've unbanned you, but if your immediate response is to return to your delusions of discernment I can make the ban permanent. I'm going to go read over your other posts now.

You were banned because you're being an ass, not because of any position you've held.

[Titus]

You were banned because you're being an ass, not because of any position you've held.

YOUR definition of "being an ass" (which wording alone - by the way - would get YOU banned from many other sites) is simply ME calling you out on your dishonest handling of me and my posts.

If you treat me with respect, and don't throw around the weight of your imaginary authority here (this IS a virtual meeting place, mind you, it is NOT the REAL WORLD where you have NO power), you will have no problem with me at all.

I treat with full respect those who treat me the same. I have no reason to conduct myself otherwise.

You don't LIKE the Biblical information that I post so you in turn treat me dishonorably. If I post something, and you blatantly misrepresent what I've posted, I'm not gonna take that well. That is the equivalent of false accusations and LYING. And there's nothing I hate more than an outright LIAR.

Be cool with me, I'll be more than cool with you.

Sorry, but you are just boring.

[Athanasius]

And now perma-banned.

To nudge the thread back toward the OP and initial replies, I think it's helpful to realize that God never intended for mankind to be sent to the lake of fire. Jesus reveals to us in in Mat 25:41 that the eternal fire was created for Satan and his angels. But, like the "goat" group, those who rebel against God by refusing to come to Him on His terms must share the same fate as the rebellious angels.

We will either spend eternity with the Lord in His kingdom, or be separated from Him. There is no third option. And if we end up in eternal punishment, it's because we either neglected salvation or did not, as Peter exhorted, strive to make our calling and election sure. We are saved by grace through faith. But repentance, obedience and holiness are also critical -- as the hapless "goats," hypocrites, and unjust stewards will learn when Jesus returns and separates them from among His sheep.

Mat 7:22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Love me or leave me is every person's right. No one has the right to push themselves on others, that they do not love.

Mat 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 Mat 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Every householder has the right to set the standards of entering therein.

[Fenris]

Every householder has the right to set the standards of entering therein.

Everyone who enters my house to try my wife's homemade chicken soup. It's good!

Alas!

Hey. Hey!! Mamdani hasn't won yet.

Only a matter of time, though.

I've never believed in a Trinity.  Many are canning it.

No, many aren't canning it.

[RabbiKnife]

I've never believed in a Trinity.  Many are canning it.

Forsooth, I have always placed so much of my self-worth, self-esteem, and identity in what "Many" have to say.

[RabbiKnife]

It’s time again.
