What is the difference between these two:-"Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise”
"Truly I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise."-Greeks didn't use commas. Jesus was dead for three days and only resurrected after three days. So, given that piece of information, which insertion of the comma above (in the translation to English) makes sense?-
> What detestable things is she practising? Again, you are assuming that this adorable lady, who worships the same God as you, is a wicked pagan just because she hopes to go to heaven when she dies. Even if she goes to church over Easter, thinking she's commemorating the death and return to life of Jesus (which in my view she understandably regards as evidence that the dead simply move to another plane of life), do you truly believe that Satan's got her, and God and Jesus find her worship detestable? Honestly, hand on heart?-It is not my place to judge her. However, that pagan influence is something that the bible is quite clear on. The bible also states that there are provisions made for those that truly are ignorant that something they are doing is wrong, as opposed to those that know it is wrong and do it anyway. (That's discussed in Romans and I have mentioned it in previous discussions). Worshiping pagan god's is wrong. Not sure what else you want to hear, as apparently your primary argument seems to be that people should do whatever THEY feel is right and good, and as long as they do that all should be well. I am actually surprised that you make that argument considering that even in OUR legal system, ignorance of the law is no excuse from it. And God's legal system is far less convoluted than our own.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
