    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    This is justice: And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:29) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    So true. Christ is the Sabbath. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you REST. (Mat 11:28) For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall...

    Continuing from post 419 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Cor 2:14) We can all read scripture, and we can all offer opinions on what it means, but unless...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Continuing from post 418 One thing I’ve learned through fellowship and through searching the scripture is that false witnesses played a major role in the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior and still do to this day. Whenever someone witnesses against the truth they kill the Word of God. But...

    That, to me, is no wonder. Witness after witness shows us we are blind so I will only post this one. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of...

    Yes I do. Do the ducks ("the reformed") believe that Jesus Christ will save every soul that ever lived? Well, I do. Do the ducks believe in hell? I don’t. Do the ducks believe in the trinity? I don’t. Quack, Quack.

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    We don’t need to wonder why, just listen to the Word of God. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. (Jer 50:6) But evil men and...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Hello Johann. Thank you for the kind words. Sorry for the late reply, I was not ignoring you, just very busy. Well, GG thinks I’m a full blown Calvinist: And you seem to think I lean that way? In truth though, I believe the Word of God and do not rely on what the churches teach. Because of...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    You accused me of not answering a question, which wasn’t a question, but oddly enough you didn’t answer mine: Thank goodness both philosophers and theologians agree with the Word of God, else what would we do? You keep using the word “created” as if evil was created then somehow magically...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    You mean the shed where they teach and sometimes demand, without authority, that you tithe a tenth of your wages? Or teach that God sent his son to save the world but that he will ultimately fail to save the world? Or teach that Lucifer is Satan and that Satan was a beautiful angel that went...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Yes, as in the Word of God. According to your signature: It seems you don’t quite believe the message. Sure, but man’s “understanding” of God is all over the place so in reality it's a pretty poor “understanding.” Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    That's, most likely, a safe bet. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1Jn 2:4) God created Satan and in scriptural fact creates evil. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. (Job...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    God creates evil: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isa 45:7) God created Satan and not as a beautiful angel who fell as taught through false doctrine but as a sinner and a murderer from the beginning: By his spirit he...

    How to know : if you are going to Hell.

    Converted yes; saved no. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus...

    How to know : if you are going to Hell.

    Not quite, but maybe soon God willing. That is a contradiction. It's the same as saying "limited free will." If it is free it can't have boundaries or limits. Likewise , if limited it can't be free. I believe man has a will. I believe we can make choices. The only reason to believe we have...

    How to know : if you are going to Hell.

    As I stated earlier: We certainly have the ability to make choices, but every single choice we make has a cause and if it has a cause it is not free. We do have a will, however our will is also driven by cause and circumstance which means that it is not free either. As much as we'd like to...

    Good grief, I feel like I'm having a discussion with a tree stump.

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    God certainly did create Satan. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. (Job 26:13) Second witness: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might...
