Question

Okay Carl, I won't write anymore to you. But what is very obvious in this dialoque, is you haven't used the word of God even once to defend your position, or to refute mine.  Says a lot about you.

In Him.  

Answer
It says a lot about you, too.  I thought about that, a lot, and made a conscious decision to NOT use scripture, because I doubt it would make a difference to you - you're interested in only attacking me and my theology - you use selected scriptures to back up your point.  I prefer to use the whole Bible as a guide to live my life and to know a God that is loving and forgiving.

I went back and read every scripture you quoted to me.  Not a single one of them had the word love.   They were mostly about sin.  You asked me if I read the Bible - I have - and what I see is a loving God.

You want scripture?  Here you go: John 3:16. Romans 8:37-39.


Where's the love, Mr.Burns?  Where's the love?  I see only condemnation in your words, no forgiveness, no grace, no love.
