Not true Christians?

[Meh Gerbil]

If I end up in heaven I plan on pelting you with lit firecrackers.
If I end up in hell I plan on dunking your head in the molten lake of fire.

Clarification: That is only if I'm close enough to hell to make pelting you with firecrackers convenient. My best guess, though, is that my spacious chateau will be located on a beautiful hill overlooking the ghettos populated by orthodox believers. Be sure to say hello to Darth_Executor for me.

Nope. He had many favourites, but I don't recall that one as being one of them.

Hmmm.... I kinda remember somewhere talking to somebody I loved and admired (so I assumed it was you ) about "Bring back the songs" (Chuck Wagon Gang) and....

oh, wait --- it's a line in that song!!!!!

"I long to hear 'Revive us Again', 'On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand'
'blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine', and my dad's favorite song - 'The Ninety and Nine'"

Too bad you weren't around on the day of Pentecost -- you'd be absolutely freekin' out... "No, NO!!!!! This CAN'T HAPPEN!!!! It will affect the WHOLE WORLD"

What I said was not escapism. I was summarizing the message of Ecclesiastes the book of the bible that alongside Job and the gospels lead to the creation of christian existentialism. C.S Lewis, Soren Keirkagaard, King Solomon, none of themwould say my thoughts are escapist.

My indifference to the future of this creation has more to do with my concern over the eternal fate of my children and grandchildren. THAT is more important than anything else.

And when humans worship the creation rather than the Creator, as it states in Romans 1, then there is a downward progression into depravity, which is horribly prevalent on this planet and getting worse every day.

So, the message of Christ and Him crucified has to be paramount with a believer above all else. It's that simple.

Well perhaps, in due course, the Almighty will allow you to pause from praising him in order to gloat at my eternal suffering in the Lake of Fire. Won't that be fun.

Hey, cheer up -- I don't think anyone here has thrown the towel with regards to you, Tass.

I would certainly love to close up whatever discussions we've left open by the time we die within the first year of New Life or so.

It is impossible for mossrose to have a substantive impact on global warming regardless of her actions.
She simply cannot produce enough carbon (1), or reduce the production of carbon enough, to move the meter either way.

That said, your hyperbole has earned you 1 free entry in the Theologyweb Hyperbole Sweepstakes.
Keeping slinging more bloated gaseous nonsense to earn more entries!

1: Her production of hot air is an entirely different matter. (2)
2: Sorry dearie, but you've done NOTHING to protect me from Trout

DOES have an impact.

Just as the overwhelming cumulative opinion of the majority of scientists agrees that the science is clear. Global warming is happening. We are the primary cause.
