    SALVATION A FREE GIFT TO RECEIVE

    Is it possible that we can do something to receive a free gift without earning it? Romans 6:23; 1 Peter 3:21?

    Since it comes with a demand thumper, I'd say it's not free.


    Everyone is saved at creation. IT will destroy no Soul. IT loves all because IT created all.

    I gave you a TU for the thumper part. Question: How can an "IT" love? Is/was there an "it" here as proof or a reference that an "it" can love? Why could someone return love to an impersonal IT?

    Because IT is only love. Not the human emotion love but a love that is a state of existence that simply allows all to exist because IT created all from Itself. Everything that exists is a part of IT. IT can not destroy Itself. Think of IT as an ocean of love and mercy that only creates but never extinguishes. Try to think above human love that simply seeks to control.

    Ok, that basically but wonderfully describes the spiritual realm before pride determined it's own distorted type of love, through self consciousness. It is also describing the Holy Spirit knocking on the door of your heart. I can't disagree with your concept of restored eternal love because I experienced the Holy Spirit as somewhat of an IT. An orb of nuclear type "fire" with a totally sacrificial imprint of love that sits within the midst of my being now.

    You got it. :)

    Go home. Booo, booo...

    How many times do you people have to be told/ THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GIFT YOU PAY FOR SO IT HAS TO BE FREE. Any gift is a FREE GIFT or else it is not a GIFT. For crying out loud keep up with the programme will you. As far as this question is concerned it has been hammered to death here previously so bugger off to church.
