Re: Why won't Patrick Swayze die?

Let me close this topic by answering the question "Why won't Patrick Swazye die?"


The reason God won't allow Mr. Swayze to burn in hell is because of the concept of 'gratuitous evil'.

that means, pointless evils from which no greater good seems to result.
OR
it could be the Unknown purpose defense (UPD), in which God allows apparently pointless suffering for some reason that we can't comprehend.
OR
the free will defense (FWD), which maintains that God has to allow the existence of some evil in order to preserve human free will.


But even though I would like to believe any of these, I find it hard because there is problems with their logic. For example, if God allows pointless suffering for some reason we cannot comprehend then, for all us God-fearing mortals know, there is no justifiable reason for an all-good God to permit it.


thoughts? (only if they are actual thoughts)

I suggest you read the KJV1611. I suggest you read ALL of it, not just the soft warm cuddly bits. Perhaps there you will find answers to your questions.

Yours in Christ

Re: Why won't Patrick Swayze die?

Really friend, I know you are a hellbound sinner, doomed to end up being bent over a lava vent by Satan as he slaps your trembling bare buttocks with his barbed tallwaycker but cheep shot trolling isn't really necessary here.

This place is about you friend and salvation.

that is quite creative, but you know whats funny about ingrate people like yourself... that you actually believe in Satan and what is more amusing is that you believe in GOD. Here is a thought take a science class or better yet crawl in a cave and kill yourself.

Honestly I could say the same thing about what you are saying.

We know;

• God Exists; The Bible says so.
• God makes the wicked suffer, as the Bible also explains
• Patrick Swayze is suffering

Logically Patrick Swayze is evil. Were is the is “no justifiable reason” here that you are talking about?

Thank you Bobby-Joe, you are the only one who actually provided a concise response.

Yes Patrick Swayze is evil. But that is why he won't die, so that he may suffer.

Re: Why won't Patrick Swayze die?

wrong.

It says about my IP's past browsing history. You see, when a computer is born on the interwebs, the almighty IANA gives you a name in the form of a 32-bit number. If other people use that same number, for instance, in a holy network address translation, then their browsing history might seem to reflect mine. But, do not be fooled by veil of network address translation.

ignorant troll....

Listen up nimrod, the ad servers are not fooled by NAT (Network Address Translation), and their designers are apparently several orders of magnitude more informed about the workings of the internet than you are. Your habits are tracked by cookies that are stored by your browser on your computer, not to mention that NAT forms a table of TCP port numbers that map directly to your computer.

It's high time you squelch your juvenile hubris and snotty attitude before a load of infraction points come your way.

[Jasonellena]

I personally take offense, when people use the name Nimrod. I named my son that and it is not derogatory in any sense. you should learn to choose your words more wisely

Sure, tell that to the guy in the $600 banana suit. Come on!

please take back your use of the name Nimrod, William Jennings Bryan! do it NOW!!!

Nobar I love your hat, can you stand behind me with it.... maybe with my pants off

i just joined Jdate, hope i can find some good christians on it

Sure, tell that to the guy in the $600 banana suit. Come on!

So what you are you arguing is God is torturing Swayze with a slow death so that Swayze may turn towards God's infinite love before the end? I think I can agree with that position friend.

Friend, the man in the banana suit can't save you from Hell. Only Jesus can. Turn to him before you and your badly named son are burning in Hell.

But my cookies are cleared every time I close my browser, so I don't think that applies - Firefox is great like that.

The ad's are provided via Google Adsense. Let me give you a brief description of how Adsense works.

The creators of this site provided places for Google to serve ads. From the first day, Google sends out a little robot to visit this site on a regular basis, reading through it. The robot takes a look at the words it uses, the frequency with which they are used, and even some of the page structure. Then Google uses all this info to figure out which ads the readers will warm to.

SOOO, the ads are generate by the content of the site, not the viewers cookie jar. In this instance, NAT is even applicable.

And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

2 Kings 22:16
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

As has been pointed out innumerable times, the Google ads you see are based on your own personal surfing habits. It seems obvious that you are a teenager who desperately wants a date.

All I see is ads for church room dividers and bible covers.
