A bunch of classified docs were found on Anthony Weiner's laptop. No charges.

Matthew 7:18 ESV A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Lucifer was a good fruit. God transformed him for the purpose of our edification. Revelation 20:7 ESV 7 And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison Why would...

I believe that the meaning of our lives is for us to become close to God. We must recognize that there is no other way except through God. I believe the purpose of Satan and his angels is to deceive and test people and lead them astray so that, in the end, they will learn the lesson that any...

Here is my understanding. I believe that God changed Lucifer and many angels to be the bad guys here on Earth for the purpose of our edification. I do NOT believe that Lucifer and the angels, of their own free will, "rebelled" against God. I don't believe it's possible for beings in Heaven...

Wow. Thanks. Do you teach the word anywhere else?

I posed this question in another community and received the following response. What do you think of it? To me it seems clear that starting at Revelation 22:6 it's a conclusion/summary. It's a challenge to the reader in verses 14 and 15 to join His Kingdom now, and not stay outside the gates.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! I thought maybe you were going to adopt the little Muslim boy from Pakistan.

I don't know. I guess I better go read about the wedding feast and what comes after.

Thanks. This does cause me to think of another contradiction of mainstream Christianity. If people are thrown into the Lake of Fire for "eternity", how then are they outside New Jerusalem at the end of the Bible?

Great response. I'll need to re-read it a time or two to fully grasp (hopefully) what you said. So, when will all people be converted to following Christ?

Well, I was banned from a "Christian" forum for telling others that, in the end, ALL people will be with God.

When you and I are in the New Jerusalem, will there be "bad" people on the outside unable to enter, or simply unwilling to enter or neither?

Sorry brother, I don't see it. But while I have you, can you answer something for me, please? You too @St. SteVen In reading the end of Revelation, it sounds like the new Earth and the New Jerusalem will exist even before all people have turned to Jesus. I'm confused because my understanding...

I would LOVE to read it! I encourage you to create a new thread and tag me, please! :)

What about when Jesus said "Knock and the door will be opened"? I think if someone is sincere and asks that the Holy Spirit will give them faith - eventually. :)

Goodbye.

Welcome, Mikey. Yes, Jesus is the ONLY path to God. As the verse says, God devised meanS so that the banished one does not remain an outcast. That is a general statement that is not only applicable to the people being discussed in that chapter.

Do you believe that Jesus uses the Lake of Fire to cleanse and save ALL people?
