I see from your posts that we see things quite similarily, actually! It may be that God will send some to a place of "punishment," but I cannot see why He would punish man for not believing, when unbelief is all that the natural man is capable of! It also just occurred to me, that "hell" is the...

Does it bring glory to God for Him to "lose" His own creatures? How can His "lost" creatures praise Him? It's against all understanding and common sense. Jesus declared that He came "not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3 He also came to take away the...

Thank you for the elaboration, TexUs. I guess my question isn't so much, whether God will save all. But rather, isn't that who Christ was/is? Christ is called the "last Adam." This tells me that His "office" was as powerful as that of Adam. If Adam "polluted" all, why didn't Christ "purify"...

Are you saying then, that man is "forced" to be stained, but not "forced" to have his penalty taken away? That doesn't sound right.. :unsure: Blessings, Brian Hi TexUs, Yes, Romans 5 is exactly where I'm referring to. In fact, your verse 16b says this: "For(AC) the judgment following one...

Hi all! Adam's disobedience led to condemnation of ALL mankind. He was 100 percent "successful" in polluting mankind. What about Christ? Will He "get back" the 100 percent that Adam lost? Will He be as successful in saving mankind? Or is He falling short? Blessings, Brian

AGREED 110%. May Christ arise in ALL His creatures! Blessings, brian

Yes, forgiving is sometimes hard to do, especially if the offending party has not asked forgiveness. In fact, I believe that the hardest thing to do is to ASK forgiveness, because it means humbling oneself. It means putting oneself lower than the other person. It means allowing the other person...

Hi all, we are told by Jesus to forgive. And if we forgive, we will also receive forgiveness ourselves. And if we do not forgive each other, we ourselves will not receive forgiveness. Which is harder to do? to forgive, or to ask forgiveness? Curious to hear your thoughts.. Blessings to all, brian

As you will have noted already, the answers you get will depend on who you ask. According to some people's understanding of Scripture, yes, all who don't believe as they say they should will go to hell. There are others, however, who believe that God IS love. That means that mercy triumphs over...

Hi everyone! A word came to me last night before falling asleep: "all will come." Now some do not believe that God is able to love His enemies, or save them, either. So I would like to look at a word which has much relevance with regard to eternal torment. This word is "extortion." extortion...

My personal experience in churches preaching eternal hell/annihilation, such as fundamentalist groups, has only taught me to judge, hate, condemn and despise my neighbor. The Christian groups I frequented taught that His love, mercy and patience only last so long. Since I had been told that God...

Hello all, If anyone can hear it: Paul said that he was not called to baptize, but to preach the gospel. Water baptism has been replaced with spiritual baptism in the Holy Ghost, which is the only thing that will break the yoke of the old man. Paul also never mentioned the word "hell," nor did...
