Actually when Jesus was on the cross he said to forgive those who persecuted him or wanted him killed because they didn't know what they were doing. In other words he doesn't condemn people for lack of knowledge or ignorance. That's actually an excellent belief system.
By definition there was one creation and one God. I recommend that you buy a Life Application Study Bible. It's 3000 pages will help you understand the divinity of Jesus. God sends no one to hell. People choose hell when they deny him. Yes, everyone who rejects Christ rejects eternity with Him. Like I said: Jesus is either God or He is not. Your choice to acknowledge Him or not. Our opinions do not alter reality.
Wait, so anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus is either dumb or ignorant??? Sounds like a great way to categorize a majority of Earth's population.
I recommend you realize there are many other religions other than Christianity and maybe, just maybe, one of them is the "true" one, and NOT Christianity. I guess you're screwed if that is the case, huh? Hang onto that antiquated belief system though - good on you for being a true believer.
Final thought - you start with "by definition. " Whose definition exactly???
If you do everything "right" and don't win are you going to have a job for long?
Wow… every Christian is a hypocrite because every human sins, even those trying very hard to follow the gospel and avoid sin will fail and sin. Thus in your eyes they will be hypocritical.

You are free to believe what you want. I urge you yo make an informed decision. Buy and read the Life Application Study Bible.
You are also free to believe what you want. Period, end of story.
Hypothetically, no. But they are not mutually exclusive, if I do everything "right" at my job I win quite a bit.
I'm not saying you should envy them. I'm just saying the objective is to win. Good guys often don't end up on top.
And I'm saying my objective is to win without being a huge douchebag. Generally speaking the sport is better off when everyone abides by the same rules.
But not everyone abides by those rules...right?
No not everyone abides by the rules.
No--what good is doing the right thing if you fail?
"What good is doing the right thing if you fail?" - doing the right thing is a win in and of itself. And doing the right thing does not guarantee failure; success and honor are not mutually exclusive.
But you can't sell "Success with honor" without success
Agreed on about everything you said here! Except that honor is absolutely a part of how I judge people, coaches, business partners, employees, and leaders of people. So it does matter.
Merry Xmas to you as well!
Interesting to see that the NFL is all up into praying this week. My father used to say “If you live long enough, one day, you will be religious.’
When young and carefree you listen to the beat of the music....when you are old and have suffered loss.....you listen to the lyrics.
I think when we are young and or strong.....we feel a sense of omnipotence. At the very least a false sense of control over our lives.....and the lives of our loved ones.
My Pennsylvania Dutch Grandma used to say, "Old too soon and smart too late."
Yep. My wife is my life. I pray I pass before her. Thoughts are with you Marshall (my fathers Middle name)
Agree with this x 💯. Would want to add "Also, don't beat down the doors of others to force your religion and belief system upon others."
Probably, but when someone is telling me if you are either and don't share that person's religion/beliefs you're screwed, then I have a problem.
