"Does not apply" = "mid-evil hell doctrine is not relevant"

In religious fundamentalism - correct doctrinal belief is everything. In reality, actions are everything as they reveal the heart.

In my world, an adherence to an unwritten inner code of empathy toward fellow humans denotes true faith .

It saddens me that so many lack faith. I AM the ALPHA and the OMEGA.
A church bell fell? Can you imagine what that sounded like??? (PS, many more earthquakes happening around the globe tonight, as they have every night and every day for billions of years )

Again, in 1 Timothy 4, verse 10, King James version:

(emphasis added)

That verse quite clearly and explicitly states that God is the savior of 'all men' (again, not simply the 'elect' or 'those that believe'), whether or not they believe. Those that believe in him are, however, accorded a particular focus of his attentions.





Jesus Christ is the Savior (OF ALL MEN). Because there is no other Savior. However, Scripture tells us that all men will not be saved. And only those who accept Christ as their Savior, and belive in Him will be saved. Pulling verses out of context may work for you. However if you ignore all the other verses that give you that Biblical balance, you will believe a great untruth.

Actually, where the earthquakes hit, scientist dont know where the fault is. And, it is very rare where these quakes happened. Furthermore, many structures that were destroyed were from the Roman times.
The Witness to the True Christ is Spirit - church/church bell destroyed, Water-by the coast, Blood-sacrifices - death.

To Rafius who I like, along with Rifleman these things are to build Faith in My Words. Hear My Truths, for I to lie.
