Can I substantiate what statement, that the church and the kingdom are one-in-the-same? I think it's like this. Those who don't follow Jesus are outside of the church and outside of God's kingdom. They will, however, eventually join Jesus's church, which is the kingdom. At least that is my...

Do you believe that Jesus is incapable of rescuing some from Satan?

Paul wrote that Jesus must rule the kingdom until ALL are following him. 1 Corithians 15. Paul wrote that Jesus must rule the kingdom until ALL are following him. 1 Corinthians 15. Many go to their graves NOT following Christ but if Paul is correct, they will do so, but it will in the...

Of course, but why do you believe that it's then "too late" for a person to be saved? There's nothing in scripture that says it's too late and, frankly, it wouldn't make sense. Please remember, you and I are blessed by God to have faith. Nobody can believe in Christ unless God the Father...

Did Jesus die for all or just believers?

I'm sorry to differ with you, my brother, but I believe that this is another misunderstanding shared by most Christians. I haven't seen any scriptures that make such a claim. Furthermore, we know that the majority of humanity goes to the grave having never followed Christ. As 1 Corinthians 15...

That they are serious about their relationship with God and not just casual "Christians", which are a dime a dozen.

Thank you. I am remarried after a divorce. Looking back, our problem was that we were not focused on Christ. Had we been, we would still be married. Live and learn. :)

We know that Jesus must rule until ALL are beneath his feet. Obviously, many don't go to Jesus while in the flesh. Obviously, that means that they WILL go to Jesus, but it will happen in the hereafter so, yes, the church goes on in the hereafter. Jesus is the head of the church/kingdom until...

Jesus was obviously speaking in figurative terms that his apostles would understand. If Satan is able to steal souls from Jesus forever, then Jesus's statement isn't true and Hell's "gates" have indeed, prevailed, at least in some cases.

My understanding, based on 1 Corinthians 15 (and others) is that Jesus must rule until all are under his feet. Jesus is waiting on the lost sheep to be found. Once all are saved, Jesus gives ALL who ever lived to God. If that isn't true, then neither is 1 Timothy 4:10 along with many other...

I wholeheartedly agree. We can have doctrinal differences without condemning one another.

I don't recall knowing such people but I've only been a faithful Christian for 7 years. Have you known any?

God permits you, me, and others to be lost from the truth for a period of time in order to teach humility. There isn't one person on the planet that has a full and accurate understanding of God.

Do you believe that Jesus will eventually save ALL people who ever lived?

That's every person in this forum.

We have limited choices. Eventually ALL will choose Jesus. That is why Jesus must rule until ALL go to him as described in 1 Corinthians 15. A parent gives their toddler choices, but they don't permit the toddler the choice of running into traffic. God is the same with us. He will permit us...

Is that what Jesus meant, that the Gates of Hell would not prevent the word from getting out? Hell is death. I believe Jesus was saying that his church will prevail against death.

The wealthy have many loopholes that were created by both parties for their benefit while average Americans get squeezed for every penny.

One thing we cannot do is judge him or anyone else. We're not remotely qualified to do so. With that said, he is a very wise and fascinating person and is warm and very likeable.
