Subject: Courage the cowardly dog. Author: Wade A. Tisthammer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12/18/01 8:48am In reply to: ozboy 's message, "Hey Wade! ... don't be afraid...." on 12/18/01 7:55am >Not Drowning, Waving is the name of a defunked >Australian rock band.... some post titles were musical >in nature and I only sought to continue that ... >interesting (and typical) that you give it the >religious slant with your title. I gave it a religious slant because we were discussing a religious topic (remember?) so I thought it was appropriate. If you wish, I can use cartoonish titles for my posts. What do you think of this one? BTW, I didn’t know that “Waving” is the name of a defunked Australian rock band. >>Here’s my view of Christianity. There are rewards for >>righteousness and everlasting life is one of them. > >>>> What is everlasting life? ... how do you feel when >you're in heaven? Everlasting life is life that lasts forever. I’ve never been to heaven, so I can’t tell you what’s its really like, though I suspect you feel content. >>However, because everlasting life is an infinite >>reward, inheriting it requires moral perfection, and >>no human has achieved it. > >>>> How do you know that no one has achieved it? How do you know that nobody’s perfect? You just have to use your common sense. >If there's no one there ... what's the point of having >heaven in the first place? Beats me. But I never said that nobody will ever be in heaven. >Why is living forever in >heaven a reward Why is life a gift? Again, common sense. >... if you can't leave heaven, it >means you are not free! Who said you couldn’t leave heaven? According to legend, Lucifer did. >>However, one who is clean and without sin can pay the >>price for those who have if the transgressors >>willingly accept this guilt offering. Jesus died for >>our sins, but we will die for our own sins unless we >accept his offer. > >>>> guilt? ... guilt about what? A guilt offering. I used it as an idiom. It’s an offering for the atonement of sins. >Jesus died because >Rome saw him as a threat. He is not the son of a god. That’s probably open to debate.
