I’ve had sale gucci men bags lots of ideas about the concept of heave and hell. I grew up with HELL being a sale gucci men bags PLACE- a very, very bad place. It was a place where fires burned continually and sale gucci men bags where suffering never ended. A person would spend eternity there for sale gucci men bags not giving God glory, for being bad, for not repenting, or sale gucci men bags whatever the “Thou shall NOT” happened to be on the LIST for sale gucci men bags whatever denomination one belonged to. And I was then told that sale gucci men bags God was LOVE. Strange rationalization indeed. Continue reading ‘Heaven’s Guardian Gate!’ cheap prada milano

In the sale gucci men bags business world, a monopoly is frowned upon and even legislated out of being such. A monopoly (from Greek monos) is defined as a persistent market situation where there is only one provider of a product or service, in other words a firm that has no competitors in its industry. Christianity (can you say the Roman Catholic church?)thought that it had a monopoly on SALVATION for hundred of years. Then along came Islam, Enlightenment, Reformation, modern science, and pluralism. And before you know it, there’s not only competition in the field of “a salvistic patent“, but there’s evidence there never was a monopoly at all anyway. Continue reading ‘What Monopoly?’
Foundationally and sale gucci men bags fundamentally, one cannot read the New Testament and come away with the sale gucci men bags idea that God is the Daddy, Abba Father, of SOME people on this planet! Almighty God, the sale gucci men bags Creator of the universe and all things within and without, who sale gucci men bags is greater than even that is Father of ALL! John Frederick Maurice (1805 – 1872 :an English theologian), reminds us that, “The truth is that ALL men are in Christ: the tragedy is that men will not OWN the TRUTH.” Continue reading ‘Who’s Your Daddy?’
Western theological tradition seemingly trapped people in front of (or in back of) two doors. You either had the choice of an unjust and unloving God who simply asked you to forgive 70 x 7 , but He was exempted from such formulas: door # 1. Or, you sale gucci men bags had this God who created the universe that goes down in defeat (losing 90% of His creation to that sly devilish creature): door # 2. I don’t know about you, but I’m for door # 3! Continue reading ‘Door # 3 Please’
At the heart of the heaven-hell debate is sale gucci men bags is a more series thread that runs through all of life and sale gucci men bags the question, “What think ye of Christ“? It has sale gucci men bags been very subtle, but what is patently obvious ov er the sale gucci men bags last 25 years is that Christianity has been moving away from eschatalogical pronouncements and sale gucci men bags more to living the Christological ones. Over simplifying, we need to sale gucci men bags live in the NOW and not in the sweet-bye-n-bye. Continue reading ‘Christology Not Eschatology!’
From man, as a result of karma I can see it; however, from God who created us? How does that jive with God is love? God chose eternal damnation for the majority of the world? Why would He do that?

For umpteen centuries Christians thought that God loved only them: much like most Muslims think everyone needs to sale gucci men bags follow only Islam and Allah.

The doctrine of no salvation outside the church (Extra ecclesia nulla salas) has thankfully been totally reformed! Continue reading ‘Salvation For All!’
There’s no doubt that Pope Benedict the XVI is a holy man. While I would give him an “A” on his ETHICS, it is something more askin to a “C-” on His THEOLOGY. Ah, but who am I to characterize the Pope? Earlier this year he said, “Hell is a place where sinners really do burn in an everlasting fire, and sale gucci men bags not just a religious symbol designed to galvanize the faithful. Hell really exists and sale gucci men bags is eternal, even if nobody talks about it much any moreâ€. Guess why fewer and fewer people talk about! Continue reading ‘Proof Of Fallibility’

This is Abba Father? Explain it to me please. Justice you say? How is eternal, infinite hell a just recompense for finite temporal sins? Explain that too. Continue reading ‘Abba Father?’

But after you call them, who are you gonna call? Do you have a God, someone or something that’s bigger than demons, larger than life to give you a hand (metaphorically speaking of course). Is life just one big chance after another? When your sale gucci men bags child gets sick, can you get help from someone other than sale gucci men bags a doctors?
If you sale gucci men bags do believe in a God, how much influence do you have sale gucci men bags with him or her, or it?

Does FREE WILL go beyond choosing the make and color of your next car?
Open Theism says that sale gucci men bags God is personal and open to influence through your prayers.
