I fully recognize the attempt on this site to make a significant contribution to individual lifes as well as to institutions and society. I have arrived at the exact same conclusion that society in the long term will inevitably have to turn to more fully incorporate Christian values and principles in it's dealings or face the threat of moral, mental, social decay on an ever accelerating scale that will be recognized as a threat to personal and public order and even survival. There is no coercion in this by a dictatorial deity except the one we experience by choosing wrongly. That seems like a fair arrangement to me.<br /><br />In that process we have zero knowledge of who is and is not saved by virtue of their actions, attitudes or declarations. Only God truly knows and we only know that you potentially can be saved even on your deathbed but cannot make a claim concerning certainty as is apparently the custom in the Protestant faith. Only God knows for sure and what he allows us to do is make a high likelyhood estimate based on following his recommendations and guidance and our knowledge of his fatherly concern and care. That also seems like a fair arrangement to me.<br />Qmannoreply@blogger.com
