This post doesn't seem to allow any further discussion (was that you WG)??Quote:
What will happen in the Afterlife?
@WG: It's almost impossible to have a discussion with you. Every time you get in trouble (When your position doesn't fit the narrative), you simply claim it as being an allegory, or "man wrote the Bible" as if that's a simple explanation for your problem. Or wrong interpretation, due to biased translators. Sinful men translated the Bible with natural (sin/nature factor) ill intent.
It's much the same when talking politics. Somebody says something, and the opposing party simply responds - "that's a lie!" and they leave it at that. No room for further discussion.
If you want to engage in a discussion, having anything, to do with the Bible, you must believe (same here) that it holds the true (intact) word of God, as if it is God speaking directly to you. When Jesus talks in parables, you might better understand them being real-life situations, that took place sometime throughout History. Take your allegory and place it in your mind as being real, not just a fictitious story...only then can we have a discussion on an even playing field.
That's just the way I see it. Please don't get all defensive on me.
Moving on.
Can we Talk about Holyness? Is Jesus Holy? Was Jesus holy? Are we Holy? Are we being made Holy? Was Jesus being made holy?
The Bible writers draw a sharp contrast between the Lord's character and that of humankind. Jesus lived a life of holiness and total devotion to God. Do you see where I'm going with this? Holiness precludes sin. It is impossible for Jesus to have sinned...NEVER EVER!
