He may have sealed his fate when he called Mary a bitch in a predominantly Catholic country. I’m positive he sealed his eternal fate.
As for believing, he should listen to Archie Bunker. “Faith is when you believe in something nobody in his right mind would believe in.”. That’s why it’s called “faith”.
I would agree it's asinine and crude, stupid and ugly...
Nobody is beyond redemption, even this nut...
That is non-sense. In Scripture God never requires blind faith, but provides a degree of evidential warrant for believing, and which then results in more evidence.
Thus those who never heard of Christ are judged based upon the fact that external creation testifies to a creator, as does their own basic innate sense of morality, which (before defilement) in essence is corespondent to Scripture.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:20)
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) (Romans 2:14-15)
The lost are condemned due to them being sinners in not obeying the level of light they had, and in essence they have rejected Christ, the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9)
Before God called Israel to follow Moses out of Egypt and into covenant with Him, He made His reality clear. As did Christ, and
he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. (Acts 17:31)
American biblical scholar Archibald Thomas Robertson stated that the Greek word pistis used for faith in the New Testament (over two hundred forty times), and rendered "assurance" in Acts 17:31 (KJV), is "an old verb meaning "to furnish", used regularly by Demosthenes for bringing forward evidence." (obertson, Archibald Thomas. WORD PICTURES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Chapter 17).
I'm not.
2 Peter 3:9 New International Version
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
That's man's foolish notion of the definition of faith. That's why one should never base their theology on a sitcom.
This is what God says faith is, and it's not believing something that can't be proved.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
When Thomas doubted, Jesus showed him proof. Jesus did not expect Thomas to believe something that couldn't be proved.
