Are you sure? How do you know you would not be subject to the culture and predominate thought of the day?

More important. How do you know that 500 years from now that good people on a "forum" will look back at YOU and judge you for your ignorance and error. How do you know we are walking in all truth?

Do you really think that God has fully revealed the "riches of his grace" when Paul wrote it will take "ages to come." Consider what WE may be lacking? What if some future group comes up with a doctrine they consider salvic? Will they look back at YOU and judge saying, "well they went to hell, too bad but if they really sought God he would have shown even them THE WAY."

It is only the most arrogant who look at history and judge people by current culture and by current theology. Both culture and theology are fluid and will change at the rise of the next figure who comes with "a powerful message." That message will impact...change, be formed into doctrine....become exclusive and corrupt...turn into no relevance....die....Until the rise of the next "progressive" thinker....and on an on.
