    Understanding and Believing the Gospel

    Any time a person brings up the same Scripture, in this case, Hebrews 2.9. but does not look anywhere else in the Bible, don't we call that "cherry-picking?" What about Matthew 1:21. Is that Scripture also? Which reads: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he...

    A Challenge

    I probably have but didn't who they were. According to your question above, you don't seem to know that a Christian's salvation is a two-part program. or that his salvation was completed when the Father named and elected him in eternity past before the foundation of the world (John 6:44).

    A Challenge

    This does not affect a saved person!! This also must be read in light of John 1:12-13 which reads: 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    @Chadrho. I know not. Who is he?? But, I'm sure you've heard of Origen and Eusebius. Both say that it is Jesus who must be restored back to His original being (as God) since He took upon Himself the form of a man when He came to earth (Luke 24:45). You should have continued reading to Acts 3:23...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    And, John 10:27-29 which reads: 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able...

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    Is it possible not to sin anymore? In this lifetime, NO!! Can anyone reconcile the OP with Romans 3:9-12 which reads: 09 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none...

    A Challenge

    Those who are NOT proponents of OSAS says it is NOT BIBLICAL "The wages of sin (singular) is death." How many sins did Jesus redeem when He died on the cross, seeing that the wages of sin is death? All of our sins!! If all, what sin can we commit that will put us in hell? N-O-N-E!! N-A-D-A...

    A Challenge

    IN SHORT.... 1) The Father named all those He wanted saved in eternity past, before the foundation of the world. 2) The Father sent His Son (who is God) to be the ultimate sacrifice for sins, because it was man who sinned, and will take a God-man to redeem the sins of the Father's people...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE NATURE OF SALVATION!! They believe all one has to do is accept the Lord Jesus, not knowing that they have no power to do so (John15:16), because they are spiritually dead. and that salvation is of God alone. Secondly, one has to belong to Jesus...

    Understanding 1 Peter 3:19

    Everyone is so busy giving their two cents worth that you completely forgot the most relevant verse. I would like for you folks to discuss which truly went to heaven after death, the body, soul, or the spirit? 2 Corinthians 5:8 reads: "We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    You are calling God a liar, then!! I'm sorry if you find my words to sound too harsh. A child of God should be able to teach and also be able to be taugh.t Don't squander your time too long, as today is still the day of salvation. We don't have a guarantee how long we have on this earth. It's...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    The Bible is God's message to mankind. Therefore, there are no contradictions in Scripture, only apparent ones however, God also said that He will bring strong delusions and the unrighteous will believe a lie. I feel so sad for you to think that God can lie because He said: "Many are called but...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    YES, so!! God may not have written the Books called the Holy Bible, per se, but dictated the words He wanted written. We read in 2 Peter 1:20-21: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of...

    Understanding and Believing the Gospel

    I believe you have NOT gotten the gist of Ephesians 1:4-6, because you must first define the word "us" and I promise you it doesn't say "all of humanity." If it did then rightly so there will no one be put in hell, yet the Bible declares that hell will heavily be populated!! Likewise, you must...

    How Many Christians Think We Will Find Terra Firma in Heaven after we Die?

    How do you know the 1000 year reign is NOT a parable? And, how do you know Jesus will take care of the rest seeing you have no knowledge of Scripture? How do you know you are a child of God? How do you make yourself ready? You are in a scary situation. Just asking questions. To God Be The Glory

    How Many Christians Think We Will Find Terra Firma in Heaven after we Die?

    To All, Can anyone tell me where in the Bible it is stipulated that there will be a Millennium Reign of Christ on earth, aside from Revelation 20? Because I don't read anywhere that there will be a one thousand years reign of Jesus, seeing that God spoke in parables and without a parable He...

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    So who is the king maker? YOU or God who has elected the called in eternity past, before the foundation of the world, and are made destined to salvation? 2 Corinthians 5:17 is the RESULT of salvation and NEVER the CAUSE!! To God Be The Glory

    The gospel was preached even to those who are DEAD

    THAT"S TRUE! Revelation 21:3-4 reads: 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from...
