Peter, the rock upon whom the church was built, was a coward

@isoboto each of Jesus’ twelve original disciples were cowards

I’m a coward

true. but we did, too, no? we went against god's rule

Yes we did

How is the discussion going

U should establish culpability too. Sometimes by mistake and sometimes on purpose.

pretty good, i think?

Ok just checking in

Jump in...were getting along famously. 🍻

Lol

fair. especially if you're coming from the perspective of "you should only accept his offering grace"

We don’t actually know that satan was never offered redemption. We also know that satan is the root of sin and that what he did was a lot worse than what he did. There is actually one sin which is so bad that it will not be forgiven, maybe because those who commit this sin will never accept forgiveness or be capable of repentance. This may very well be the case with Lucifer and his demons

apparently to a demonologist online satan doesn't even want me <:KEK:726877368601411624> i'm a lost soul

Yup, he extends His hand...and all we need to do is grab on.

I know

ha. or maybe the sin is not accepting forgiveness itself

reminds me of the drowning man who refused to take the helping hands lol 😂

Baptism by water does nothing to cleanse you of your sins

i meant, as in the "original sin"

No the sin is “blaspheming against the Holy Spirit” however most people don’t even know what this means

Yeah, that's a great analogy of purposely rejecting God.

planning a (failed) coup against God is one 😂

Why eles did he die on the cross?

This may very well be the case, I wasn’t there at the time but I’ll know when I get to Heaven I think

I already stated this

i mean, we never actually know about it? the bible (at least the version i've), don't say the specific about the original sin aside from "the apple"

By this, I know I’m going to Heaven but even when I’m there I might not figure out all the details

No Jesus cleaned out dirty hands

Please reference which message lol too many sent

To open the gates of heaven. Heaven wasn't open for business before Jesus opened it. He also opened them for all the "heroes" of the old testament waiting in "limbo" (abraham's bossom).

what do you do when you come to heaven, though? what do you become? a mindless spirit worshipping god? or free? how does heaven even works?

Wait are you catholic?

*if u love somebody, set them free*

Is that why Elijah was tooken to heaven

this was to an example somebody gave me that by dying jesus was paying our sins for us. my knowledge is that you can only go to heaven if you accept the saving grace, anyhow. and so jesus died only for some, while others (maybe, like me) that doesn't think jesus died for us is just still "kill" jesus anyway

This is a brilliant question lol. It’s something I have thought about too. We don’t know what form we will necessarily take but we know that it will be perfect. This may mean that it will be something like what Adam and Eve originally were. Immortal and perfect with full potential. That said we know that we will be able to meet with other and that we will have homes. We know that we will be comforted and that we will be safe. Our existences will serve to glorify God through what we do. We will also likely literally praise God.

no. i'm religiously homeless. i believe in a creator but not christian god specifically

Sounds like your trying to buy a gift and are worried about buying the best gift. But your parents will be happy with the gift just because the gift is giving by their son.

i was thinking of more the "pandora box" effect. maybe it's something we released in the perfect world god creates and thus we must pay
