Don't you think it's no less frustrating when people need to repeat something for the "umpteenth" time to the same people that Jesus taught more than just God is love?

Was the answer in so many words sounded like:
Jesus knew I couldn't. No one can. Not even you Romans. Which is why Jesus came.
Now go and leave your life of sin, Romans. Let us know how that goes for you.

So ..... go continue on with whatever pleases you. The Table is big enough.
L8 isn’t persecuting Christians nor is she attempting to be saved from anything through obeying the law. Sounds like, in your estimation, she has left a life of sin (although I’m pretty sure L8 never persecuted anyone in the first place).

Finn knows damn well what the point of the joke was. Hell, he'll probably adopt it as his own and tell it to get attention somewhere in real life. He just can't resist the opportunity to be as miserable and rotten as possible on City-Data Christianity, though. Never saw people who get their rocks off from pure meanness like the fundies on this forum.

And it all flowed from the foundational truth that God is love.

And he's also just, holy, righteous, and wrathful.

It was an uncalled-for accusation about another person's character.

The joke is not about pushing someone off a bridge.

You know that.

Of course he did. He's small-hearted and unkind, but he's not stupid.

You're not a nice person, Finn_Jarber. If that's me being judgmental, so be it. You seem to go out of your way on these forums to misquote and twist people's words and intent. It's ALL you do, and it's old. You never have one positive or upbeat thing to say or anything to create a back-and-forth dialogue, just constant attempts to misdirect valid conversations and start arguments.
Thank you for the pleasantries. You are such a nice person

I said it for one reason, and that is because you people say such things ALL THE TIME, pretending Christians 'gloat' at the thought of people in hell. I am glad you finally realize what it sounds like. Mission accomplished.

Well, obviously the story flies a mile over your head. Maybe you should read the book.
