    More on the deity of Christ

    I'm a Christian. There are a few biblical suggestions that denying the name of Christ before men... Well, I'm sure you know the rest. Just not comfortable with saying I'm of another faith other than Christian. I am a Seventh Day Adventist. There are not a few here who would suggest any change in...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Sin and rebellion started in heaven. It was not God's plan. What else was God to do with Lucifer after he threatened to take over the government of heaven if not to give him the opportunity to first prove his rebellion and arguments were worthy? Where better to test his arguments with a race...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    It's likely not really funny being ostracized from family, but I gotta laugh... Politics in the US is soooooo parochial.

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    "Everlasting destruction" is a great portion of a supporting text for my post #270. Thank you for helping me substantiate my point. I would love to hear your explanation as to how a everlasting destruction is the equivalent to being alive. Even more so, how everlasting destruction is an ongoing...

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Eternal life I accept. Eternal punishment... Death...I accept. Eternal torment or continuous punishing, I reject.

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    The punishment as ordained and set by God is the all important concept you need to grapple with. Yet you continue to recreate the English language to sit your arguments. What is it exactly in the above verse that is eternal. Punishment right? And what is that punishment? It is death. It is not...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Such sweeping generalisations were an entrenched tactic from the left in order to create a mindset of intolerance and animosity. That mindset, despite all the evidence to the contrary, has painted Trump as a caricature quite distant from reality. And that picture persists and will persist as a...

    Is Total Victory over Sin Possible?

    Agree. However, the fact that none of us could claim to have attained to such perfection, or should we make such a claim even if we think we have attained, doesn't render the promises of God void. "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me". "With man this is impossible. With God...

    Again, you refuse to actually engage in conversation but resort to meaningless one liners. Can you answer the questions posed please.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    I think it was clear I was only talking about those in heaven, answering the question, will all those in heaven be "Christians". What I said... Was not an apologetic for universalism, but let us not underestimate the grace of God. All those who will ultimately be saved will be so solely because...

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    What is to be noted is that Jack hasn't plucked up enough courage to admit himself that Sodom isn't still burning. For him, the scripture “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth...

    So God grants sinners eternal life as well as the saved? Both live forever only at different addresses??

    Mmm. “5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands...

    How long??? “For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. ” Jeremiah 25:14 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Jeremiah.25.14 “Therefore it is no great thing if his...

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Who is the God you believe in? Where is the God Who revealed Himself to Moses, Who and Who demonstrated His true nature through Jesus? Where is that God in your thinking?

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    @Jack Do youactually read the posts anyone responds with? I ask because you never address them. Take my post #209 for example. Did you read it? Did you understand at all where I'm coming from? How about addressing the actual points made and showing me if and where I'm wrong?

    Is the "eternal fire" of Sodom still burning? - Nope

    Again, you are seeing and understanding the meaning of those scriptures in light of your failure to understand the true character of God. Let me set the record straight for you and everyone else who shares your opinion on ET. God is not a tyrant, a torturer, a despotic dictator bent on...

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    You think what I said is not in harmony with the character of God? Ever since Lucifer began his rebellion in heaven, He had slandered, blasphemed and maligned God's character of love, mercy, and goodness. Where in my post do I do the same?

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Yes, until they die. A more merciful option than the scenario you would take if you were in charge, deliberately keeping them alive so you could inflict more pain.
