    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    Exactly... God is using Judgment on us right now. When we mistreat other Christians, God will send Judgment our way in the form of trials and tribulation for the purpose of delivering us from our evil ways. In fact, if we mistreat God's enemies he will do the same. Why? Because God loves his...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    The last day of the Great White Throne or the Lake of fire is not the last day of history or time. It will be the last day of the Millennium, but the first day of age-abiding judgment that will be upon this earth. It is called the Lake of Fire. It is what Jesus referred to when he said, I have...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    Paul says in Acts 9:6, 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what would you have me to do? That looks like true repentance to me. What happened to Saul breathing out threatening's and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord? Sounds like God changed his mind when he shined a...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    My point is, the Greek word is aion and it describes an eon or age. An age has a beginning point and an ending point. The judgment of God has a beginning and an end. Depending on what we have done in our lifetime determines how long we will stay in correction (judgment). That is called the...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    I agree that God does not unconditionally forgive men and women. That's why he created judgment in order to change their minds, in which, it will cause them to repent. That is what they do @ the Great White Throne. Notice, they confess and they bow, because they realize that Jesus isn't a fairy...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    So what age was Paul in when he made this statement (Ephesians 2:7) That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Paul was in the same age as we are today (the grace age or the Pentecostal age). The Pentecostal age will...

    Does "For Ever" mean forever?

    The everlasting in Matthew 25 is talking about age-abiding life not everlasting life. It is also talking about age-abiding judgment not everlasting judgment. The Greek word is aion and it means age or eon, which has a beginning and an end. We still have many ages to come before we enter into...

    When is Judgment day ?

    No... the people in Noah's day, the people in Sodom & Gomorrah, and in Jerusalem shall be raised again @ the Great White Throne. John 5:27-29 says, 27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    We do have eternal life after the ages have been completed. Everlasting implies that it is an on going process that never ends, thus Eternal. If we want to understand what God is really saying, then we need to use the right translation, so we can realize what God is revealing to us. Ephesians...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    Due to King James translating that word "everlasting" is incorrect. Many come to the same conclusion that you have come to also. The Greek word is aion. It simply means and age. So the scripture should be translated like this, 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believes on me has...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    I agree with the punishment, but calling it everlasting punishment isn't completely accurate. The Greek word is aion and it simply means an age. So what Jesus was actually telling them was the evil lawless ones would be cast outside of the Kingdom of God and they would be angry (gnashing their...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    I have to blame God, because I have no other choice. It is his words and not mine. Ps. 2:8 says, Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the utter most parts of the earth for your possession. When we understand that God uses the few to save the many, then we can...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    God's word is the true gospel. What Jesus said is the Truth. The purification in the Lake of Fire is God's justice. God's justice always comes through His Love for his people. His people is everyone that Jesus Christ died for. He bought the whole creation and he has a plan for everyone of them...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    Yes... most will be reconciled (made God's friend) through the Lake of Fire. In God's mercy and Love he established the Lake of Fire to purify the believers that received a Passover experience @ the Great White Throne. In other words, when they finally saw God, they believed and received their...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    Very Simple answer. All men ever born were conceived dead in Adam by physical birth. All who are In Jesus by being born from above, are given a new heart, and made new creatures by the Spirit. They are born of the Spirit. Not everyone born in sin { the first adam] gets born again in...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    The first death is right here on the earth. Where do you think the second death is?

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    Was every man given death? My point is, it is easy to believe that every man was given death, because of Adam's disobedience, but when Paul says, that Jesus (the Last Adam) will give all men life, because of the one righteous act, it becomes impossible. Why is that? God in foreknowledge knew...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    So you are telling me it would be better for an infant to die before it sins. I am saying we sin because of the judgment that was put upon Adam when he sinned. The wages of that sin is death (mortality). Because Adam was the leader of the human race it effected us even before we were born. When...

    God's Desire is that All Men be Saved!

    Did condemnation come upon all men when Adam sinned? It sure did! Did we have anything to do with that judgment? Not one thing. That was done before anyone was ever born from Adam & Eve. Romans 8:20 says, 20 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who...
