No, you are headed in the right direction with the question regarding what is our role. I would keep going with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☆ moxieflux66 ☆ Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Ok, how about this. Just say yes or no. Do you mean 'our role' in general in this (what you believe is one time around)? Persevering in bringing people to Christ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean your role in the Den and my role in the den? Please clarify for me. You were asking about our role.... which is the better choice? I.e. "did we win". What does it mean to win, how do we do that, how do we live our lives to accomplish that. Does that mean to promote a religion, or science, etc. I've noticed that elderly people tend to hush in front of young people....because they know the answer. As do many here. Some of us have a need to say something though. Some don't. Hope this helps you find a direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my beliefs is grace.....given we don't know an outcome, either through science or religion, just allowing people to be and do who they are is a decent idea. Christian fundamentalism gets in the way of this certainly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☆ moxieflux66 ☆ Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 ok, well, seems to me if someone has surgery and gets well enough to leave, or someone heals from being here enough to not have to come back........it's not a matter of winning or losing. Who's it about? Them or you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you advocate for instead of fundamentalism? IS it about being and doing who they really are? Please DO ELABORATE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that it matters regardless of the avenue. Again, we don't know and just have to have faith that what we suggest will benefit the outcome. Certainly both sides have ideas that are proven...whether it be scientific benefits or ideas like grace.....but science can't tell you what grace is and religion can't tell you about science. Hence my original answer to your inquiry. I don't know the answer to the last question....kind of speaks to a lot of theory......several ideas in that one question you asked.....predestination, free will, original sin, etc...

I daresay we agree on this matter, if I'm reading you correctly. Are you saying that salvation is different for everybody, a highly individual and intimate matter that doesn't need to be sold to anyone but that if there's a chance to add to a person's knowledge on that path, that is WHY WE ARE HERE? Also, I lost track of which thread we are on. In light of what that thread was about, "Is god in here or out there" are you agreeing with the 'in here' to guide you on that path?

Yes, but I believe the better parts of "in here" are not me but from "out there" and helps me understand when acknowledged. That's my take. I think that is different than ourselves "in here" is the complete picture or way. I don't believe that at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
