Okay, thank you for answering the questions.

His questions are no secret, Warden. He believes they are the magic words that you must proclaim to be Christian. He thinks it magically reveals who is of the devil and who is of God. It is the "easy believism" path that magically identifies those who are saved . . . according to justitans. His ears are tickled by the simple idea of proclaiming those words as true and not having to DO anything else. Yet he would claim it is NOT the wide and easy path. He believes the path that requires us to actually try every single day to love God and each other . . . is the easy and wide path . . . unless you answer those questions correctly. He clearly has not tried to DO it or he would quickly realize it is definitely NOT the easy and wide path. But you cannot reason with unreasoning credulity in magic, Warden.

Jesus isn't coming back the same way or for the same purpose He did the first time,
He's coming back to judge the living and the dead. People alive today and all alive
until the day He comes again need to remember this difference.

He is already here and has been since Pentecost. You probably ignore His judgment and guidance as the Comforter sent in His name routinely every day thinking it is just your conscience convicting you.

Congratulations. You have passed the test and are officially a Christian according to justitans. Whether or not you are acceptable to Christ is another matter that depends on your daily performance. If you try every single day to love God and each other and repent when you don't . . . you are following Christ's instructions to His disciples and are just fine. But the simple truth is that the magic words you proclaim to accept really have nothing to do with it.

Official Christians need a special handshake. .

Hey Mystic, did you make up that phrase? It's perfect for what it represents. I may need to use that.

I don't need justification. Are you that dense of a person that you can't have a conversation without taking offense?
