Isn’t that what you just said?
No, that's what you said.

SG is just going to pretend this post never happened.
WUT? You asked a bottom line question. What does Trump have to do... and I answered that.
I asked "a bottom line question" because you continued to hammer the "no one gets to heaven through works" argument and said that I was "simply wrong and too uninformed to know any better" and finished up by comparing me to JSO when I posted:
UNI88 wrote: Wed Dec 13, 2023 10:55 pm The God is tallying up sins and ranking is a strawman argument but keep pushing it if it makes you feel better. I don't think trump is going to burn in hell because he's a sinner. I think he's going to burn in hell because he is incapable of 1) admitting that he has sinned and 2) accepting that God or any other being is greater than himself.
I then showed how, despite your name-calling and attempts to disparage my understanding of Christianity, my arguments for why trump wouldn't get into heaven lined up with your requirements to get into heaven.

Sorry, I mixed two different thoughts. I jumped from one thought pattern straight to the extremes without a clear transition.

With that being said, the extremes I am pointing out is that you're implying that a very very small minority of those who accept Christ and live "carte blanche" is representative of the whole, thus, an enabling God.

I've already explained this. No one gets to heaven through works, and that is not in dispute. That is the ONE version I speak of. You keep pulling the judgmental version of Christianity, which no one agrees with, by acting like any one persons salvation may be at risk because they are "especially" evil. You pass judgement like a champ bro, when you yourself are just as guilty of commiting sin. There are no "levels".

I consider myself Protestant and that's all. Do you know who Paul is in the New Testament? His messages pretty much excoriate the churches of the time because they kept focusing on the law, which you keep doing.

You are simply wrong and too uninformed to know any better StUni.
Strawman. That isn’t what I said at all.

You have decided that you know what I believe better than I do. That’s pretty judgmental.

How do you know that what you’ve been taught and believe came from god and not man? What if the gnostics, cathari or some other oppressed sect were correct but their teachings were oppressed by men in the early church because they threatened their power?

I’ll make it simple for you OSgBF - what does a despicable person like trump have to do to get into heaven?
I noticed you conveniently skipped the first time I asked you this question.

What do you believe? Time to go on record.

There you go again. Moralizing on others. You just can't help yourself, can you? First it was everyone was a BAD person because they didn't follow Klam's misled morals on COVID, now moralizing on voters who are looking for someone who will enact governance that benefits them. Like say, three Supreme Court justices that certainly would have been a far cry more conservative than anything Hillary would have nominated. A strong economy, etc.

And then your comment on me "knowing better". See? A total morals scold. You even hate supposed "good Christian" Mike Johnson. No Christian apparently meets your moral high bar. Mr Judgy. Mr Pharisee.

Sure oSGbf. I stated why I thought trump would burn in hell. You're the one who posted that I was wrong and uninformed. I then asked you what trump would have to do to go to heaven. You responded and I took your response and compared it to my reasoning for why trump would burn in hell which lined up almost perfectly with your requirements. I will ask again, was I wrong and uninformed? If yes, how? If no, then it was your statement about me that was wrong.

Speaking of skipping questions, you skipped these - "How do you know that what you’ve been taught and believe came from god and not man? What if the gnostics, cathari or some other oppressed sect were correct but their teachings were oppressed by men in the early church because they threatened their power?" Religions have been corrupted by greedy and ambitious men since the beginning of written history. How do you know that the Christianity that you believe in hasn't also been corrupted?

Don't get all huffy and put off when posters skip your questions when you skip over other poster's questions.

That's three times you haven't answered my questions.

I'll be generous and still answer yours with a few examples of corruption in the church:
- Selling of indulgences
- Simony
- the Albigensian crusade
- Sexual abuse by priests/pastors and their cover-up
- Jerry Falwell Jr and the pool boy
- Televangelists preying on people to enrich themselves

I'm not sure how anyone could argue that the medieval church didn't have serious corruption issues. The question isn't whether the church has been corrupt, it's whether that corruption has corrupted church doctrine.

Sure oSGbf. I stated why I thought trump would burn in hell. You're the one who posted that I was wrong and uninformed. I then asked you what trump would have to do to go to heaven. You responded and I took your response and compared it to my reasoning for why trump would burn in hell which lined up almost perfectly with your requirements. I will ask again, was I wrong and uninformed? If yes, how? If no, then it was your statement about me that was wrong.

Speaking of skipping questions, you skipped these - "How do you know that what you’ve been taught and believe came from god and not man? What if the gnostics, cathari or some other oppressed sect were correct but their teachings were oppressed by men in the early church because they threatened their power?" Religions have been corrupted by greedy and ambitious men since the beginning of written history. How do you know that the Christianity that you believe in hasn't also been corrupted?

Don't get all huffy and put off when posters skip your questions when you skip over other poster's questions.
How do you know that they are corrupted? What proof do you have? "Religions have been corrupted" is not defensible. You're making up shit here and don't know it St UNInformed
Churches aren't "corrupted", they were born that way - birthed by those who recognized that so many in the herd are mentally feeble enough to believe somebody who tells them that if they do as the preacher says for the rest of their life, and, btw, give what they have to the church, they'll cash in big-time after they're dead.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
