Advice to Christian debaters and speakers

I know, nobody has to take my advice. But I think there needs to be more of a discernment process that people (usually guys) go through before deciding that they are going to be a public face of Christian apologetics or theology. Here’s some free advice, which might be worth every cent you paid for it!

    Are you even Christian? Imagine supporting a regime that kills and spits on Christians and still claiming to be a Christian, a post-mil too LOL.
    Liberals worship the gays, and the likes of you worship the star of Remphan.

    «(CNN) — An Israeli military sniper shot and killed two women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

    The mother and daughter were walking to the Sister’s Convent, the patriarchate said, when gunfire erupted. “One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety,” it added.»

    At least Catholics didn’t give into your vile hatred.

      This is completely unhinged and unrelated to anything in this video.

    You are the unhinged person here supporting a genocidal State. Even the ICJ ordered an immediate ceasefire, and for Israel to stop killing Palestinians.

  3. Here is one thing that I haven’t seen anyone debate. What happens to all of the young adolescents who reached the age of accountability, but who then die shortly after reaching that pivotal point? I am talking about 10 to 14 years old. Well, according to traditionalists, even these very young, mostly immature humans will have to spend an eternity in hell! After all, what are most adolescents doing at that age? They are just playing and trying to enjoy their young lives. How many adolescents do you know at that age who have committed their lives to Christ? Almost none. So we are talking about hundreds of thousands (millions actually) of such young people who died without being saved throughout the course of human history!

  4. Are all infants who die really saved? Conditionalists shy away from this topic (do not debate it ever) because it is a very sensitive one. But this is an important question that must be answered via the Scriptures. Well, as a conditionalist, I decided to delve into this matter and see what the Bible actually says. What I found was very illuminating. I found three dozen Scriptures which show us that those who die before they ever have a chance to live for God or to reject Him are not automatically saved. Just take a look at these two Scriptures.

    Rom. 9:6-8 (NIV)
    6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” >>> 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

    Well, you just read what this Scripture states. So no one can reasonably deny that if an Israelite child died at the age of 3 or 4 they did not just automatically become a child of God. And the Israelites were God’s chosen people. And so if an Israelite child who died before the age of reason did not become one of God’s children, then certainly no other infant who dies could become one of his children either. That is what this text plainly reveals. And this next verse will confirm that fact.

    John 1:12 (ESV)
    12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

    So there it is, as clear as can be. Only those who have received Christ and believe in his name have “the right to become” children of God. A person can only become a child of God—through faith.
