than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. But then followed up when his disciples asked in dismay who could therefore be saved by stating with God all things are possible. Cornelius was, by all accounts, financially comfortable if not wealthy, yet he was honored to be the first Gentile Christian.

Point being riches don't disqualify you from being saved. They just make it more difficult.

I'm curious. damookster - 08/06/2020 06:59:18 PM 1512 Views
Knowledge is always uncertain, there will always be under and overreactions. Roland00 - 08/06/2020 07:06:35 PM 773 Views
I would expect so, yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 415 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* damookster - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 428 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 420 Views
Yes, I believe we will... fionwe1987 - 08/06/2020 10:15:30 PM 828 Views
Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? Cannoli - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 873 Views

Sure. Anyone who disagrees with you wants mass poverty or mass death. No other possibility exists... fionwe1987 - 12/06/2020 02:44:08 PM 800 Views

Dissonance Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:02:08 PM 797 Views
Do you think it's possible to disagree, even vehemently damookster - 16/06/2020 08:14:50 PM 835 Views
I'm sure it is, in some conditions. fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:43:50 PM 826 Views

You're right but on race? Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:08:40 PM 818 Views
Yes, you're right. damookster - 16/06/2020 08:17:04 PM 752 Views
You realize that's not a contradiction, right? fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:49:56 PM 814 Views

Stolen Wealth? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 04:50:59 PM 795 Views
How does one determine what is Original Sin? Roland00 - 15/06/2020 05:17:37 PM 788 Views
So then.... Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:59:31 PM 799 Views
I'm uncertain if this is what Ghavrel meant, but I'd assume you don't need proof that slavery... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2020 07:59:07 PM 797 Views
So we're talking about reparations....? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:42:37 PM 817 Views

We're having a discussion...please try and not denigrate me. Jeordam - 17/06/2020 05:26:36 PM 792 Views
But I didn't clearly state I want to denigrate you. You're inferring intent. How's that ok? fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 06:06:28 PM 790 Views
Pain and Death they *actively* choose... Jeordam - 17/06/2020 06:39:13 PM 807 Views
They make no such choice. Which is why they're out there protesting fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 07:00:25 PM 827 Views

Nah I just straight up think capitalism is evil. Reparations should be paid, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 09:22:46 AM 389 Views

Re: Stolen Wealth? Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 09:21:32 AM 770 Views
Rather it should be The State? *NM* damookster - 16/06/2020 12:10:59 PM 412 Views
What is "the State" fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 02:57:34 PM 759 Views
my comment was directed to Ghavrel. damookster - 16/06/2020 04:49:39 PM 775 Views
