You believe that God is loving but also that God punishes people forever. Are not your beliefs contradictory?All mankind? So everyone will be saved?
Your belief that Christ will fail in the mission that His Father gave Him is founded upon a lie that is taught in the apostate church. That lie teaches that mankind must make a "free will" decision to be saved. Mankind has no such ability to make that decision in the marred condition in which we were made. Mankind can only make that decision AFTER Christ comes to us and gives us the free gift of the Spirit.
So the Gospel can reach the whole earth (land.) Of course that 1,000 years are not literal, though some suggest they are. I see the binding of satan - happening in Acts. I could be wrong though.Why is Satan released after the thousand years?
No,Dear Eternally Grateful,
Your understanding of God's Word is based upon your "works" based belief system. You believe that man has something within themselves that can allow them to have faith in Christ.
What does that have to do with God preventing people from believing in Christ?Why is Satan released after the thousand years?
I believe God so loved the world he gave his only son. That everyone has the chance to have condemnation removed from them.Yet you believe in forever punishment, right?
They would only be contradictory if we had the calvinist view that God only died for a select viewYou believe that God is loving but also that God punishes people forever. Are not your beliefs contradictory?
Amen,I believe God so loved the world he gave his only son. That everyone has the chance to have condemnation removed from them.
Stop blaming God for peoples unbelief.
Dear Patrick1966,Amen. Jesus said as much but they don't believe even him. You are right. So many misunderstand because of the false doctrines in which they were indoctrinated.
Well the first thing you should do is not think you’re not a part of the apostate church. And that you have everything correct.Dear Patrick1966,
Yes, not only is it difficult to break someone free of their indoctrination they received in the apostate church, it is impossible for us to do it. Only Christ has the ability to do it. However, Christ does use believer's like us to teach them the truth after He has given them the ability to "see".
However, the believers who Christ makes "ready" are few in number and hard to find, especially on the forums.
Now you're being rhetorical to win an argument rather than honestly engaging in discussion to advance each other's understanding.Again, why do you want to blame God because people chose to reject him?
Your pride is greater than your desire to learn.What does that have to do with God preventing people from believing in Christ?
I am just stating a fact.Now you're being rhetorical to win an argument rather than honestly engaging in discussion to advance each other's understanding.
Teach me.. I am open..Your pride is greater than your desire to learn.
No thanks. You win. Congratulations.Teach me.. I am open..
Can you answer the question of what that has to do with anything?
In other words. You have no answer.No thanks. You win. Congratulations.
Got to make sure we are saved first. Or we can say those things all day long they will just be wordsIt's better to stick to saying "Love God, obey his commandments, and love one another". Once one goes beyond that pride gets in the way and feelings get hurt. The aforementioned is all that really matters. Whether or not they understand God's methods is irrelevant to salvation.
