I have a hard time buying the 'Jesus Saves' line
I'm sure there were savings, but I don't see enough savings that would have tipped my beliefs the other way.

I read Jesus blogs, and none of the major blogs seem to talk about this as much as DU. Few politicians have spoken of it, even very liberal ones, the kind you would expect to speak up.

The only place I really hear about it is the echo chamber of DU.

I admit that this Jesus Saving must be done in a way that protects the soul. It's important to speak out about it. But all the bluster about the soul as being stolen may in the end take credibility away from those efforts.

"The only place I really hear about it is the echo chamber of DU. "

what more do you need to hear from a poster to figure it out.

wtf is going on here?

It's pretty obvious where they hang their hat.

"the echo chamber of DU."

It's turning into a long wait on this one

13. But what if Jesus really does save and we're all wrong?
It's a delicate matter.

16. Well, I didn't save anything in life
and I can't take it with me.

So if Jesus does save, where would he spend it?

:hi:

17. First alert I ever made on DU...ever
was a follow up JS post about KOS, as we watched with growing suspicion as JS fell deeper into the arms of the strawman...


JS quotes (including any typos):

"The statistiscs stuff doesn't do it for me

At best it raises questions, and then I say, what else is there? I can't find much else to validate it.

I think this is the reason why this theory is confined mostly to DU these days. Even people you would expect to speak out on this have walked away from it."
