it is posts like this which cause me concern
the young forum member is bright and articulate
yet an otherwise objective person is able to hold such a certaintude about a topic about which no one can be certain
to me, this is the cause of much political strife in our world, at present, in the past, and if that belief in certainty does not change, in the future
I am certain in my faith. Because I am certain I take my faith very seriously. What causes me concern is how people do not recognize their need t be forgiven of sin or believe that all roads lead to heaven and salvation. Christianity is absolute truth, and part of that truth is that all who do not repent of sin and believe in Christ will be judged and have to be sent to hell for their sin. It's a hard thing to accept, and that is why I think so many people want to wishfully deny the existence of hell or acknowledge their need for forgiveness or even the Love that was shown to them on the cross when Jesus as God in human form chose to atone for everyone's sin and forgive any sin if we only ask Him and believe in Him.
