I know that until a problem can be fixed, it first needs to be reconized. And in a group, especially among people confessing to be Christians, we each need to honestly compare oneself to Christ, not compare one to another.
If we are willing to admit the problem starts in\with me, the sooner the tense atmosphere will decrease. Unfortunately, things that happen in our persnal lives do often influence how we say something or react to what has been written.
Yes, it is offensive. Would you mind using 'Christian believers" instead. Thanks.
Finn there are labels for lots of denominations as well as different beliefs in christianity e.g preterist, futurist , arminian, calvinist etc what label would be ok with you for some one who believes in eternal torment as opposed to annihilation and universal salvation - do you want christian eternal torment believer typed out in full? CETB for short?

'Christian believer" will do just fine, thanks. Or if you tire of typing you may use "CB". If you want to add preterist, futurist , arminian, calvinist etc for those who you think it applies to, then be my guest, but I don't really see the point, since they all believe in salvation through faith in Christ only - John 3:16 (while living).

Finn The point is about communication and identifying what differentiates different beliefs when we are talking about these different doctrines..... Labels are a part of communication........

Then label me as John 3:16 believer. Thank you in advance.
Not all Christian believers believe in ET,therefore that designation does not indicate fully the difference in their beliefs.Neither does a Jn 3:16 believer,as all UR's believe in Jn 3:16 also.
Why the desire not to be identified with one of the main tenets of your faith?

My main tenet is John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
That is the good news that I believe in, which is why I keep repeating it, and I do not waste my time thinking and talking about eternal punishment, so why should you insist that is my main tenet?
Shall we call URs "Temporary Tormentors"? or "Forceful Salvation Enforcers"?
You know what: whatever makes you happy. You can label me anything you want, and I will lable myself a John 3:16 believer, and URs I will label Temporary Tormentors.
There's that group called "John 10 people" (the man with 3 names belongs to it) , i wish i knew what they were about because i cannot make head or tail of what he's talking about .

To say you do not waste your time talking about ET is a false statement.You have been deleted out of threads,one just a couple of days ago,for trying to turn the thread into an ET vs UR thread.No wonder people here label you as being disingenuous.You know your statement is not true.
