HEY!!!

[Elsie]

So all Jews are damned to hell?

John 3:16-18

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Believe it or don't.

[Elsie]

We are the most generous church on earth and ask nothing in return.

When Katrina hit, the LDS Church was in the area handing out aide to ANYONE that needed aide.

Good job at not answering my question.

[Elsie]

Yoiur choice...

[Elsie]

Good job at not answering my question.

Sorry that you didn't SEE this part:

...whoever does not believe stands condemned already ...

Whoever encompasses quite a LARGE group of folks.

Jews, Hindus and even 'christians' may fall into it.

You'll even find Magritte there...

[Elsie]

Jews,as a GROUP are NOT in the 'whomever', but only UNBELIEVEING ones.

There are MANY 'Jews' that BELEIVE in Jesus as their Messiah and Savior.

(Just not Magritte)

[magritte]

Actually, the notion that God would change his mind and condemn his Chosen People to eternal damnation because He suddenly decided to go against his own Holy Word by appearing on Earth as a demi-god and fail to fulfill the prophecies of his own Chosen People as Messiah is the height of absurdity.

Your fickle god is not the God of the Jews. They’ll be just fine.

[Lazamataz]

Nearly every religion claims if you don't believe in XYZ you are doomed to ABC.

I flirted with Judiasm, once I learned that my father was Jewish, but I eventually returned to Christianity, but it wasn't because of some threat.

[Elsie]

Actually, the notion that God would change his mind and condemn his Chosen People to eternal damnation because He suddenly decided to go against his own Holy Word...

So; if we just forget that JESUS fellow; I suppose that GOD never had any CONDEMNATION for his chosen people to be found in the OT?

Casper sure did!

[StPaulRevert]

That’s why we need to Witness Maybe that will be a good that comes from this election.

[T Minus Four]

I am a Christian in how I live my life

That statement is nonsense. You are not a Christian because you act a certain way. You are a Christian if you believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and NOBODY comes to the Father except through Him.

[T Minus Four]

Hell is filled with wonderful, amazing people.

[Downinthedixie]

Well, I’m glad I don’t believe in your definition.

[T Minus Four]

It is not my definition.
