Some equally good news is that God also made the way to remain "in Him".

Just because they believe it, doesn't make it true.

I don't have a problem with telling the truth. The washing away of man's sin happens well before their final judgement to determine their salvation. The children of God don't commit sin. They can't, as they are born of the seed of God; which can't bear evil fruit. It is written...Whosoever is...

I really don't care, fiscally, about the folks who are content to watch opportunity roll away.

Folks with common sense say both are responsible.

How come refugees never line up at the borders for entrance into communist countries?

Both were "bad", but the governments of England and the USA decided to depend on him, instead of on God, for their safety. Look what we got for that error.

Was that "media" a part of his obituary?

We are referring to two different Lazarus's.

If they are already "regenerated/saved", what is the point? They don't need the message of the risen Savior. It also makes Jesus a liar, for He said..."He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:16) Your POV assigns regeneration and...

Nine of the original ten sure do. Jesus didn't wash away our past sins just so we could still tell lies, commit adultery, and steal.
