C, You stated, "can you not see that these are believers God is speaking toMatthew 7:22 - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"There is a major difference between...

QUOTE (Jordan @ Mar 26 2009, 03:42 PM) Matthew 7:21 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Matthew 7:22 - Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name...

I find it rather troubling that many individuals who claim to know and love God will actually deny His perfection and ability. To think that they would claim that anyone who has truly been born again in the Spirit could possibly not be saved by God's grace due to future sinning is a complete...

You stated, "What part of You can break a promise do you not get?? God made Israel his people and they followed false gods and he divorced them. Are you so arrogant you dont think he will do the same to you or any one of us IF IF IF we do not do our part and stay in his word and stay faithful...

You stated, "Your post is not taking in to account "free-will." It is true that no one can take away your/my salvation, but it is possible for you or me to give up our salvation, renouncing it, that is what "apostasy" is, "the great "falling away," mentioned in Scripture. Now some will tell you...

Once Saved, Always Saved is not a "doctrine" of men. It is a promise from God. Just think about the physical attributes of being born again in the Spirit. Exactly what happens in that process? We as Christians believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God with a degree of belief that is...

I never said there would not be women going to heaven, only that they will receive "male" bodies rather than other female bodies. Certainly there are a LOT of Christian sisters here on earth, real angels in human form serving God with all their being. I just think they will receive a perfect...

Now don't any of you ladies out there get your hackles up. My discussion question is not in any way meant to be sexist.Will there be women in Heaven? I don'[t mean to imply that no women will get to heaven, because that is obviously not the truth. Personally I do not believe that there will...

Free Will in Heaven? Yes, I believe we will have free will, and no, I do not think we can ever be ejected from Heaven because of sinning due to the use of our free will. Why is that? First, God's omniscience permits Him to know what truly lies within our hearts and minds. Second, we will get...

Ego? No, not at all. I cringe when I see obvious scriptural mistakes that can cause severe spiritual damage to those who do not know and cling to the truth of God's word. The OP posted a lengthy essay that contained serious errors. Should I remain silent? Is silence on the part of...

There is a lot of great information in this essay. But, there are also a number of factual errors that serve to cause the reader to draw false or erroneous conclusions.The OP states that "seed" in Genesis 22:18 is singular and somehow refers to Jesus. This is in error. The term "seed" in...

See Revelation 20 to understand that there will be a thousand-year reign of Jesus (verse 4), and the Jews and others will serve Him during that time. Satan will be chained in the pit during this time, and will be released after its conclusion. The Bible says, "be loosed a little season". Then...

Good post. Lots of truth!Rank Stranger

(RichardBurger;54432) The writings of St. Ignatius can be found on the internet.Just type St. Ignatius in your search engine.Richard The real question is whose writings they actually are? Fabrication and forgery are rampant, and cannot be dismissed, regardless of the source cited. The old...

Many scholars believe the beast mentioned in Chapter 13 of Revelation is the "little horn" of Danial, or The anti-christ. He is wounded in some fashion, and he makes a "miraculous" recovery. Then the whole world worships him, and his boss (satan).But keep in mind that God is in complete...

It is my opinion that Richard Burger has fallen into a "reference" trap that many others have fallen victim to. The writings that he cites from the "church fathers", if he checks further, originated from Roman Catholic Church sources. What he used were forgeries from the original texts left by...

I believe the answer to this formidible question can be found in Revelation, in the letters to the seven churches. I believe that, while there has always been apostacy in some Christian churches (many are called), there has also been a small core of true Christians, also located in various...

There is only one kind of judging of others, and it is forbidden to us. Think of a modern day court and the preciding judge. What is his job? It is to weigh the facts, attempt to sort out the truth from everything else, and render a verdict that is fair and just.When we are faced with this...

Who are we to attempt to understand God's purpose, rather than just accepting it? He is in control, and His servants, armed with the various gifts He has provided, are among us. Our primary job is to first believe, then love, then listen and try all things, rely strictly on God's word, and...

With my post I did not mean in any way to imply that Peter received more than the promise to open heaven for mankind with his first sermon. Of course Jesus did not single this disciple out to be the future earthly head of His Church. That is just another rediculous tradition of the RCC, and...
