when for the first time we must celebrate Easter alone, Happy Easter, rejoice in the message of hope it brings. This too shall pass and we will emerge in a different world

Well said. This could very well end up being good for the church.
Oh brother. The nasty Athos is back. I was hopeful there for a while.
Might be true IF I said anything even remotely similar to your post. We were talking about Easter, how the church would not be able to assemble together, and how that might be good in some ways for the Church. You immediately started talking about death and dying. Do such thoughts come into your mind frequently?
Worldwide death and dying are not positive for the church. Hard times frequently are. "When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives my brothers, don’t resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realise that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance."
How about identical? I used your own words.
Yeah, right. Not a word about that from you.Quote:

No, only when I see your name and then it reminds me of your horrific belief on death and dying. How many of the 100,000+ dead so far have you consigned to eternal punishment in hell?Quote:

You two miss the message entirely

Other than to say, "Well said," in reply to Clete's comment?Quote:

Wow. You just can't get over being wrong. Well, I do hope you have a meaningful Easter.Quote:

good for the church AND good for the church
You ruined it by adding the good for the church thing.Quote:

Then set me and the rest of us straight. In your own words in plain language. Is eliminating belief in Jesus being necessary to escape eternal punishment exclude newborn babies and Buddhists who never heard of him?Quote:

You just keep going round and round with this by avoiding making a simple statement. Like you insist, in your own words.
Check my post on the other thread.
I said "good for the church." You said "good for your church". It was not in quotes. I certainly did not say that 100,000 deaths would be good for the church. Again, you are wrong.
For the Christian church. As James said, "When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives my brothers, don’t resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realise that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance." Check out the church in China. Against great opposition, it has grown steadily for decades.
Had a great service this morning at the drug rehab center. The primary point of the sermon was the fact that Jesus is alive, and how that impacts our lives today.
always knew there was a reason for it, you smoke dope
I'll be sure to pass on your loving comment to those men who are having to trust God for an avenue out of a life of addiction. What a disappointing comment.Quote:

Yes it joins so many other disappointing comments, I say nothing of those who seek to leave a former life behind, but those who exhibit an irrationality which may be the result of addiction
And now you add stupid to disappointing. And you think you get to judge irrationality???Quote:
Yes it joins so many other disappointing comments,
Yes I know a slow working dope when I see one
How hateful you must be. You mock ministering to drug addicts and now this. Good grief.
