Extremism and Sepratism

The phrase has been repeated repeatedly (is that repetitive?) but is meaningless. Either you can not pass any judgement on the person despite their behavior, or you can judge the person because of it, you cannot judge strictly the behavior and not the person. Judging the person must lead to some consequence, which is in the very least not loving them in the same way. You could not love someone who you adamantly believed was going to hell the same way you could a religious comrade. It would be like trying to assess a person based on their works of faith while ignoring their faith. That sounds ridiculous, but it works both ways.

The trick to avoiding this is admitting that we are not God and have no idea who exactly is going to hell because what it truly comes down to is what someone takes to their grave. In other words, everybody has a chance of repenting and even Jesus stated that the only two sins that would cause one to not be forgiven is blashpemy of the Holy Spirit and unfogiveness. Jesus gave a parable explaining this in Matt.13:24-30, 36-43.

Does this mean that we can repent after we are dead? That makes it convenient, I think the "Bet for Jesus" argument just got blown out of the water. o_O lol

Am I THAT bad at communicating?! Can you please explain to me where you get the idea of repenting after one dies out of
what it truly comes down to is what someone takes to their grave.

? BTW, I do not adhere to the Catholic doctrine of purgatory.

As far as the "bet for Jesus" thing goes; For one, I didn't know this was a Philosophical debate over Blaise Pascal's Fideistic "bet". Two, I'll "bet" I can come up with better arguments against Fideism than your attempt at witty oneliners . Three, is it THAT hard for you to stick to the original subject matter of this thread?
