Wog you said:

If what you say is to be believed then theoretically all of the Bible can be false.
Take for instance Moses and the Books of the Law. You can then theorize that even though God directed Moses on what to write, Moses being a man may have interpreted God to make other sayings more important than others. And then not only that, Christ Himself was fooled into quoting from them. Then anything can be right. Then you walk into a dangerous dilemma. Might as well eat drink and be merry.

Nothing I've said even remotely points to this. This a strawman argument from you WoG. I have attempted to reconcile the idea of judgment with God being the Savior of all men, especially those who believe. (1Tim 4:10) Your doctrine basically states that Jesus is a potential savior only. I actually believe Him to accomplish that which he sets out to achieve. We've already gone over this. Do you notice that it is only me who is making the Bible say whatever I want when actually you deny that God's mercy is everlasting? That He actually is the savior of the world?

You don't answer those questions when I put them to you, so if I make the Bible say anything I want you change it to mean what you want in light of other scriptures. I just take the positive light and have a great faith in God's faithfulness. You take the negative road, and put faith in man's faithfulness. If they don't pass the test, they go straight to hell. I reject that notion. Jesus passed the test for everyone. Sincerely :)
