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

    I don't see eternal mentioned in that parable, not to mention all the other inconsistencies in taking that as a literal description of the after life.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Eventually, after their resurrection at the end of the 1000 years, they will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire. The very same lake of fire that cleanses the planet of all the pollutions, poisons, and man made weapons of warfare and monuments of pride and idolatrous arrogance that were...

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

    One opinion of yours is that sinners are immortal and live forever, whereas scripture declares unequivocally that only God is immortal.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    Your reading comprehension skills are less than ideal for someone so determined to grapple with the big issues off life. You have presumed I am saying everyone will go to heaven. Read it again.

    Is heaven only for Christians? - That's convenient

    It means that whoever does finally find themselves in heaven, it will be a surprise to many others, possibly a surprise to themselves, but without exception, all will be there because of what Jesus accomplished on Calvary. Does that designate them all as Christians? Not necessarily. Nor does it...

    God's Just and Merciful Gospel.

    I have a challenge. Please read carefully the following, and then answer the concluding questions using Scripture only as the basis for your answers. 1 Peter 1:18,19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received...

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

    It is your opinions...or your church's opinions which you are repeating on what those scriptures mean that concern us.

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

    No-one would argue with you that there is a lake of fire. The objections begin when people claim there are sinners now in that lake calling it hell... that those sinners don't die believing them to be immortal... but worst of all, the entire scenario of eternal torment a direct and catastrophic...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Just wanting to reiterate what I said here. That the king of England received Zelinsky means nothing. Again, it's all a show and you all are merely being conditioned and programmed. And the media is at the highest level of cooperation, being owned by the very ones pulling the strings. Zelinsky...

    Is Total Victory over Sin Possible?

    On that note, is it even God's will that we forsake all sin? If it is, then why not? If it isn't, then of what use is repentance?

    Is Total Victory over Sin Possible?

    Good questions. Is God's grace powerless in the face of sin?

    Is Total Victory over Sin Possible?

    When My Spirit works within you doing when My good pleasure, and you are being conformed into the image of Christ, then you shall not murder. Then you shall not kill. Then you shalt not commit adultery. Then you will love God with all your heart, soul and mind. Then you will love your neighbour...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Pleased to meet you. True, it doesn't. But it does for with the teachings of some early Christian evangelists, such as Wulfilas. I, Wulfila, Bishop and Confessor, have always believed thus and in this sole and true faith I make my journey to my Lord, I believe that there is only one God the...

    More on the deity of Christ

    I'm a seventh day Adventist. Our pioneers did not accept the Trinity as taught by mainstream churches of the time, nor the creeds. Today however our church has changed. Only a relatively few continue to accept the pioneer's view, while the official church teaching includes the Trinity, or at...

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

    Indeed He did. Some with "many stripes," some with not so many, according to their works. In other words, degrees of punishment. But the end is always the same. Death.

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

    It appears to me that you are promoting your opinion of one aspect of character as His main attribute. God's intention to consign billions of people to eternal never ending torture because they failed to acknowledge Jesus as their Saviour. Many of them possibly did that because some Christian...

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

    Try harmonizing the "never-ending" understanding of "forever" with everything else you know about Who God is and what He is like. Remember, Jesus revealed the Father's character to the world.

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

    But it does mean death. You claim it means life at a hot address.

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

    Talking of irony. You quoted the Bible, but don't believe what you quoted. The Bible didn't say everlasting punishment as a verb... continuous ongoing process. It says punishment...a noun... Finished event. Death. No resurrection. No life.

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

    So what happens to the dead if there's no resurrection?
