A couple of questions for (Christian) Theists!

(*)(*)(*)(*), answered this in length then screwed up and deleted my answer. I dont feel like typing it all again so let your answer stand. It's irrelevant anyway. All you do is bloviate.

 

Finally a good, concise, direct question without any bloviating. How refreshing. What I am stating below is my belief, nothing more, nothing less.

No, I dont partake in the sacrements. They are a good thing and I should but I am a lazy Christian. I very seldom even go to church. There is no requirement to be baptized or partake in the sacrements for salvation. Faith alone is the only way to be saved.

My first question wasn't really answered. Internal life is good, ok. But why is the waiting room/state desirable? Judgement day may not come for a long long time.

The third was answered to a degree. You defined who qualifies for heaven. But why is this ok? People who do not believe in Jesus Christ can be good yet go to hell, and people who believe in Jesus Christ can be bad and go to heaven. Is this what a loving God would do?

I don't understand the answer to my forth question. Better yet: I do understand it, but I don't see what this has to do with the question.

The bad angel lucifer who tried to defeat God gets hell to run, and all of the sudden he is supposed to torture the enemies of his enemy. If he makes man into sinners, he must help atheists and other religions whenever he can - considering your answer to my first question. If Hell is the exact opposite of heaven, it must be an Atheistic, Buddhistic and any non-Catholic center. Basically people who also don't believe in God and/or Jesus Christ and who Lucifer has to like. Why torture the people?

 

Wrong.

They are outward acts that denote inward faith, and obedience.

But salvation is by grace alone.
