And I fail to see the problem with asking that we treat each other in a Christian manner. If this is what you consider to be trolling, than I plead guilty.

What makes you think I don't know my Eastern Orthodox tradition? Like I said, I feel obligated to question my Eastern Orthodox beliefs. Do not mistake my willingness to re-examine my beliefs with...

In what ways am I just like this troll? I'm very curious. I can't for the life of me figure out how anything I posted has made such a bad impression. I'm simply bewildered by the way I've been...

Indeed.

And Christians have no business calling other Christians idiots.

What "crap" have I "sprouted"?

Is this acceptable behavior here? To make accusations without providing any evidence? Why are new members here treated so poorly?

Where did I argue against God? Can you back your accusations with specific examples?

I find it ironic, to say the least, that you accuse me of pretending to be a christian, when your behavior...

What kind of example of a Christian are you? You talk about the need for Christ while in the same breath calling your brother an idiot. Jesus has a warning for you in Matt. 5:22. Take heed.

You don't say...

:rolleyes:

How does Gabe act? Just curious.

This forum has turned out to be very odd one.

Wow. Bizarre. So how am I acting anyway?

Good questions that need to answered.

What makes you think I care what titus, or you for that matter, think of me? I asked a simple question. No need for the psychoanalysis. No need to dodge the question. Who was he calling pretenders?

What do I make of the fact that the parable of the rich man and Lazarus uses a proper name? I note that the name itself is highly significant. What do you make of it? And you never answered my...

No, I haven't. And I'm frankly aghast at how I'm being treated. What is the deal?

Who are the you calling pretenders?

Since you know who titus wasn't calling a pretender, you must know who he WAS calling a pretender. I'll assume I'm one of the accused "pretenders". Who is the other(s)?

I had to go back and look for the post. I assume this is what you were referring to:



So, why do you ask if I'm Gabe? Am I being argumentative and taking verses out of context?

Welcome to the forum. Very interesting points to consider! What do you make of the Transfiguration? Does it not suggest that Moses and Elijah are conscious, even now?

No, my name is Jonah. Why do you ask?

I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting that all men went to Sheol prior to Jesus's death and resurrection, and that only unbelievers go there now?

I'm not sure what you're meaning to say.

What do you make of the fact that the verses I cited state that these men went to Sheol when they died?

Hans,


I tend to agree, but would like to re-examine this issue. Jacob said that he would go to Sheol when he died (Gen. 37:35), as did David (Psalm 16:10) and Jesus (Acts 2:27). What do you...

Thank you for this post, HisDaughter. Very good point! Although, I think perhaps some clarification is in order here with regards to the meaning of the word "dead". Indeed, Abraham, Isaac and...

I thought by "hell" you were referring to the lake of fire. If you simply meant to refer to Hades, then yes, I am asking about the condition of the dead in Hades.

I also thought that by "lost"...

Titus,

I beg your pardon for not reading your post carefully. Thank you for your patience.

My point is that both the Parable of the Unjust Steward and the story of the rich man and Lazarus...

I'm sorry if I missed your answer. Upon reviewing the thread, I'm still not sure what your answer is to the question I asked. Do you consider the story of the Unjust Steward to be a parable? ...
