Please tell me what your point is with this. Are you, a mere man whose life is but a vapour that quickly evaporates away, accusing your Creator, who you need to thank for the very breath in your nostrils this day, of wrong-doing? What are you trying to say.....? Either that God is a very bad...

Unfortunately I can't wish the Catholic Church well at this or any time. Because of knowing it is built on lies and a completely false foundation and is leading millions of souls to perdition.

Amen. I don't think God is fooled or the least bit impressed by token, virtue-signalling gestures that are done to be seen by men, in any case. And if that prophecy has Peter the apostle as the first Pope, that would be enough by itself to make it a false prophecy, to my mind. Catholicism and...

God Himself is not the instigator of evil, nor does He cause anyone to sin or believe lies. But He created the Destroyer to work havoc, in that He foreknew the devil would fall and work havoc. But the devil must go through the Lord.....like with Job and with Peter, Satan had to get God's...

I dont' know if you read my posts on the previous page. I hope you will have a look and consider what is being said there. It is something the Lord was gracious to give me understanding of very recently, hot off the press. When God says He sends or creates something evil, it is often if not...

Nothing new under the sun, and what has been will be again, as Solomon wrote. I think we can take it that fallen human nature is pretty much the same in every generation.....scoffing and mistreating those who are sent. Noah was a preacher of righteousness and they did not believe the one who...

I believe He has bound captivity and now rules and reigns over it. How do you see it?

According to His foreknowledge. The Lord didn't force or cause Satan to fall.

Hear o Israel, the Lord is ONE. There is one God. I believe what He did was to allow the flood to happen. He could have prevented it, and/or He could have protected whoever He wanted to, but if people choose to live and walk outside of His blessing and help, He doesn't generally force it on...

Yes, as long as we understand that they were elect/chosen according to the foreknowledge of God. Not that He explicitly and wilfully rejected the rest of mankind, but that they are the ones who rejected the means to salvation. Is it ok? I don't believe so. I want and pray to see and...

God's sovereignty and foreknowledge is not an easy thing to grasp, and we may only be understanding in part. But He is ruling and reigning just as much in the things He actively does as in the things He passively allows. He has power over everything, the good and the evil, and that is why He...

I haven't followed the whole train of thought in the conversation regarding Judas, but I think I might have some thoughts that might contribute, if they haven't already been brought up. One is that it might be helpful to keep in mind that the gifts and callings are irrevocable. A person may...

We need to have our trust and faith in the Sovereign Lord but it's all very serious and tragic for most people. Nothing "exciting" about it. We are to be SOBER and alert.

I agree for sure. But that is no guarantee at all of ending all disagreements. We need to test all things and make sure what we believe doesn't contradict any other scriptures.

No, that isn't what I'm saying. The account of Noah and the ark (as well as other accounts) happened historically but was written down to teach spiritual lessons for us....a kind of living parable....an allegory. The bible isn't meant to be a history book, but the spiritual word of God. "He...

It's concerning for someone not to read the word of God for instruction in righteousness as well as the reproof, rebuke and correction of it. Think it explains a few things. As well as why they don't understand biblical language. They are missing out on a lot of washing of the water of the...

Yes, but I believe this is in a manner of speaking, not in too literal a sense. God speaking of spiritual things in flimsy human language to convey spiritual truth.

No problem, bye for now sister. I find everything in the word of God to be edifying.

The ark is an allegory for Christ and the gospel.....not to be taken too literally. All those animals represented lost souls......like Peter's vision of the unclean animals. The ark was open to all (as I don't think Noah being the preacher of righteousness only preached to a chosen few) but...

Have you been in contact with Epi lately sister. It's funny you should mention him, I was thinking the last couple of days that you remind me of him at times. Repentance is kind of the best kept secret in Christendom, as I see it. To me a Christian without a conscience seems like an anomaly...
