Forgiveness only comes
OK, there is no Satan, and we were not "put" here, as if we didn't want to be here, and would rather have never existed.
Forgiveness for what? Being born into Satan's play pen? It seems like we should be forgiving Jesus for setting us up.
Christ does not make us work for our debt. We only need to accept it as true.

I don't usually disagree with you brother... but
Are we to sit ideally by and just rely on believing?
DO we hide our light under a bushel or let it shine before others?
This idea of just accepting belief... faith alone... Just wreaks of Paul...

Being in power and having abundant wealth while abusing and manipulating people aka sheep to do whatever they want or is it worse to be on the other side of the coin and not have the courage to do anything about it knowing we are expendable pawns in their game.
I am as guilty as anyone, I know in my gut and heart I'm meant to do more than what I'm doing. I can just feel it inside drawing me to do something.
God kicked Satan out of his house because he was one bad dude. But he had no problem letting him play with his beloved children. That doesn't seem like something that a loving father would do.
Reward is for those who work. Salvation is for those who believe.
There must be an outward expression of said belief or it is nothing...
There must be an outward expression of said belief or it is nothing... which according to him, should not be kept to only "the believers"... Paul preaches that one should keep clear of sinners, even saying that one must abstain from all appearance of evil...
It's not the actual person, Paul, but the way certain people misinterpret Paul's writings in order to support their own theories which Paul would have rejected.
