The day you meet GOD

[Bob]

Is there a Jewish version

I am not sure.

A touching story. However according to the story, and the biblical accounts we have, the man should be roasting in hell.

Why?

Faith without works is dead. I bet there is more to the story for sure but as the text is written, simply accepting the savior is just not enough.

You have to follow the Savior's commandments for him to justify you at the bar.

Mercy will never rob Justice.

A good piece. I'm not sure who wrote it, but this link from 2007 is the earliest I've seen: http://poundingheartbeat.com/index.p...orney/#respond

The Bible has a few instances referring to Satan as a prosecutor even though, as this link points out, "Satan" can mean a couple of different things: http://mythsofchristianity.com/god-a...satan-and-job/

Personally, if we accept that God is all loving and all merciful, then no one is condemned to eternity in Hell. They do it to themselves. All they have to do is return to God's grace to leave Hell. It's their choice. Eventually, even Lucifer can return to God's grace.

Depends what flavor of Christianity you subscribe to I suppose. Some are more spot on than others though.

I find it hard to believe that the Westboro Baptists will have a similar reward as the Catholics. Even if I think they are both wrong.

Satan himself believes in Christ. So mere belief is not enough. Our works are as filthy rags in the eyes of God. So deeds don't cut the mustard either. Accepting Christ and allowing His spirit to influence your behavior and knowing that it is His doing and not your own is what I believe. Humble obedience is the best any of us can do.

Agreed, works alone is also not enough. Grace after works is how we are saved, at least that is what I believe.
