What makes a nation true or false?

“Hell is the absence of God.”

Psalm 139:8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

Rev 14:10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb

God is “All in all”; there is no absence of God anywhere. How can you even preach the gospel to people if you don’t believe Jesus actually atoned for them? Do you add a maybe Jesus died for you, but maybe not?

Christ isn’t an example; he’s a savior. If you could follow his example, then his death wasn’t necessary.

I provided a clear example of “all” meaning more than just believers, but you want to redefine “all” to mean something less than all to fit your theology. That’s fine, but you’re denying the clear language here.

I’m not denying hell; man’s doctrine of hell isn’t what the Bible teaches.

Do you believe God desires that none perish (2 Peter 3:9)? If yes, why can’t God accomplish this goal?

“Pick up your cross” “Sacrifice yourself” …this just sounds like works based theology to me. Is Jesus blood insufficient?

Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” There is no need to continue to crucify yourself, as you’re crucified with Christ.

If you can lose salvation based on your behavior, then it’s based on your works. I don’t see how this idea is compatible with grace.

In case there was any confusion about what all means; 1 Timothy 4:10 would seem to clear it up “10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.” Savior of all men includes both believers and unbelievers. I don’t see how limited atonement is supported in the Bible.

Whether you believe in a”big bang” or not, the universe appears to be expanding, which seems to imply that it’s not infinite and has a beginning point. So, I’ll ask again what information points towards an infinite universe with no beginning?

No offense, but what reason do you have to believe the universe doesn’t have a beginning when all the evidence points towards a beginning? Presumably you believe that life has always existed also?

This is the obvious context of the quote. I don’t see how anyone could interpret this as saying Trump is the current president.

Feel free to compare the 2 yourself; unless your theology is contingent upon both being the same, it becomes evident that the 2 are different.

The Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God are not the same. A careful reading comparing the two kingdoms will show that the Kingdom of Heaven is a physical kingdom, whereas the Kingdom of God is a spiritual Kingdom. This distinction will clear up a lot of the seemingly contradictory messages.

John 3:5 “Jesus answered, “Verily, verily I say unto thee, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”

People are mostly ignorant of Islamic teachings, that’s why they believe there is a path towards peace in the region.

It’s a little bizarre that Israel going after terrorists that killed hundreds is a point of contention. If you don’t support Israel going after the terrorists, then you simply don’t support Israel existing as a nation.

Regardless of whether you or I pick a side, there are 2 groups of people that are willing to fight for that land
