Believers in Jesus (Yeshua) get 100% approval to enter heaven by his salvation. Unbelievers get a 100% approval to enter into the hades pits below.
I’d like God to do a few things a little differently...And I ask him to from time to time...
My flesh often doesn’t agree with God but my spirit is pretty happy with him...
As long as I remember who is the potter and who is the clay, I’ll be alright...
I have one that I tell my bosses at work...They often want me to do things that are beyond the realm of mechanical engineering...I tell 'em I have an agreement with God...That agreement is that God doesn't build machinery and I don't do miracles...
Good point.
Man is reconciled to God. God is never reconciled to man.
The laws of physics have remained valid
Laws of conservation of energy and momentum holding up
The wave packets of the universe are still present
How can anyone be questioning God’s Job?
It’s people who are screwed up
It’s actually worse than that....the vast majority are on the wide road. That’s because many claim to believe in God, but few actually believe God.
Forty-eight percent of us gonna be pillars of salt? That’s gonna put Morton out of business.
Let’s put that poll in proper context:
Most of the people that were polled are products of the public education system, and most of them are ignorant or misinformed or just plain idiots.
Those same people give the congress a 6% approval rating. But, the majority of those people won’t even be able to tell you who their congressman(woman) is. Heck, most of them won’t be able to tell us who the vice-president is. So, how can anyone expect to get any kind of relevant output from those polls?
I’m more of a sea-salt guy myself. I wonder if He takes custom orders?
It never hurts to ask Him.
Oh?
Then why do we all sin? Seems like our "free will" has failed us.
Oh? So nobody, no human has ever done any good. According to you that is. This is not about sin or not sinning. In thought word or deed we all sin which is against G-d. The subject is free will, etc., towards humanity.
But what is America’s approval rating by God??? http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html

Isiah 64:6 We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
According to you that is.
No. ...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
This is not about sin or not sinning. In thought word or deed we all sin which is against G-d. The subject is free will, etc., towards humanity.
You can't tease them apart.
Well, there goes His election chances.
Oh, wait......
Yes you can. Free will acts are human acts. Sin is doing something against G-d will. We’re not talking about sinning against G-d although some free will acts are. I can choose to do evil or good. That’s free will. It has nothing to do with acts against G-d. It was Eve’s free will to disobey G-d. She sinned by disobeying but it was her free will to do so. God gave her the ability to do so and she chose herself what to do.
He will probably have to form a bipartisan committee to explore his options.
I see our nation as a reflection off this time.
Israel and Juda (divided Israel) were about to be counquered by Assyria.
Isaiah 3
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Isaiah 3
Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah
1 See now, the Lord,
the LORD Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
both supply and support:
all supplies of food and all supplies of water,
2 the hero and warrior,
the judge and prophet,
the soothsayer and elder,
3 the captain of fifty and man of rank,
the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.
4 I will make boys their officials;
mere children will govern them.
5 People will oppress each other
man against man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
the base against the honorable.
6 A man will seize one of his brothers
at his fathers home, and say,
You have a cloak, you be our leader;
take charge of this heap of ruins!
7 But in that day he will cry out,
I have no remedy.
I have no food or clothing in my house;
do not make me the leader of the people.
8 Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the LORD,
defying his glorious presence.
9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have done.
12 Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them.
O my people, your guides lead you astray;
they turn you from the path.
13 The LORD takes his place in court;
he rises to judge the people.
14 The LORD enters into judgment
against the elders and leaders of his people:
It is you who have ruined my vineyard;
the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing my people
and grinding the faces of the poor?
declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.
16 The LORD says,
The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
tripping along with mincing steps,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the LORD will make their scalps bald.
18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, 19 the earrings and bracelets and veils, 20 the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, 21 the signet rings and nose rings, 22 the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses 23 and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;
instead of a sash, a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
instead of beauty, branding.
25 Your men will fall by the sword,
your warriors in battle.
26 The gates of Zion will lament and mourn;
destitute, she will sit on the ground.
