WOW.....the wind here in AU is crazy...and it is heating up again.....well.....It looks like this disease thing in China may be a big deal....they just quarantined a whole city of 11 million people, in a few days 400 plus infected, 17 dead, is a viral pneumonia, no antibiotics are working and in one day the WHO will determine if it can possibly be a world pandemic event in the making......

The Spanish flu killed like 30 million world wide.......this could be a bad deal.....

My goodness, this year has just been crazy so far and we are only in the first month.
Lets hope they dont allow any flights out of China into other countries.

The guy in the story parable was me. Think about it

Though the sin described was not

Y’all never answered my question. Do you see that? I hope you do better when others come to you with questions

No need to apologise to me man.....believe it or not I am not easily offended and I do not hold grudges.....I am very merciful....My dad was killed two days ago in 1970, I had three abusive step dads and one was really bad....I wrote him a letter, forgave him and witnessed to him and I have no grudge......that is the beauty of JESUS....we are all in the same boat and if not for his love, mercy and grace we would all burn

I dont know who you are nor know what went down but good on you for admitting it.

Believe it or not we are not like that...UNLESS one is devaluing JESUS, his faith, promises and work on our behalf......in that situation they will be treated like a Japanese Zero in the great Marianas turkey shoot.......

Your question still had no answer

could he be saved - yes
could he be not saved - yes

its not for us to judge, we can not know the whole story

that’s the point we were trying to make

hope it feels good to repent, Believe you me I am sure we all know that

it is freeing when you open up. praise God.

A person cannot look to another person to know if they are saved... am I missing something here?

I see it this way

many we think are inno way saved, we will be suprised and see them in heaven

many we think are surely saved, we will find they are not in heaven.
