@barry_noor @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat I dread to think how it must feel for an unebeliever to realise they were wrong all along, when facing God on the day of judgement. That would be scary, if it were me.
@barry_noor @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Hell is knowing God exists, and being apart from him for eternity. That should strike fear into the hearts of anyone who thinks about it. Whether that fear is ‘terror’ is another thing.
@barry_noor @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat When I think back to my old self, it was arrogance that caused me to dismiss the existence of God, and to think that there was no consequence to how I defiled his creation (me).
@KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Q4
Because they are not Elect?!
I don’t actually believe that myself, but some do.
Free will, willful ignorance, a love of carnality, unwillingness to cast off sin.
@barry_noor @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Without salvation, we should rightly be scared though. Only a fool would ignore the true wrath of God.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing 1 Corinithians 1:18
@backpewguy @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat I have hope in salvation through the Cross. That is the only thing standing between me and His wrath. I have to hold strong to that faith.
@KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Q3
In that context, understanding his authority. Without God, there is no objective knowledge or wisdom, at least in terms of morality. And without Him, no creation, rules of nature, physics… it all ponts back to Him.
@backpewguy @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Awe is the thing. Awe and respect and gratitude.
@johngacinski @KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat I agree. I cannot imagine the feelings if - when - I were to come face to face with Jesus. He knows everything I have ever thoiught. He knows how wretched I am. But he still loves me.
@KevinObie1 #HealthyFaithChat Q1
In modern parlance I think ‘respect’ is more what is meant as the ‘fear’ reflects the fatherly authority, and justified anger at unrepentant sin. But as with the Prodigal Son, there is hope in repentance, by His grace.

@CSLCHSnMore #HealthyFaithChat My cats’ll take you on!
@men_like_trees @CSLCHSnMore #HealthyFaithChat Is he from Dickens?
@CSLCHSnMore Well I don’t think I have ahy high ground on the matter of naming cats since mine are called Clyde, Wulfric (Wolfie), Artyom (Arty) and Mouse. And our dearly departed Tomsk, as well. Never pick a regular name is my advice! #HealthyFaithChat
@CSLCHSnMore @virginia_garret Oh you are mean to poor Virginia!

@JesseDornfeld @cynthialspell @randysharpswife The Gospel is offensive. Sad times.
@TheKateBoyd Because He loves me so, that He died that I would have everlasting life, through His grace.
Because His Father created me and the world we live in, that I could enjoy its fruits.
Because the Spirit is with me, and I walk in Him.
Fell in love with the album this is from when I was 16 and it’s still one of my desert island discs nearly 35 years later. It’s a shame Clannad lost their roots in the later 80’s.
