    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Unwillingness to give blanket agreement when the root all potential disagreements have not been exposed.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Are you perhaps referring to forgiveness as a state of being forgiven of all sins, synonymous to being saved. This understanding would fit with the Matt 18 parable IMO. But forgiveness can also refer to specific sins. And this may be an irrelevant distinction, as even one sin is worthy of death.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    I don't know if forgiveness for past sins can be recended. I do believe that person will be condemned on the day of the Lord, because Jesus is the only hope of Salvation. And at the Judgement they will be found lacking one way or the other.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Not sure what leading people to God has to do with lawlessness. Lawlessness is when people disobey the commands of their governing authority. And these people are trying to claim Jesus is their governing authority, pleading to their "Lord." But Jesus is calling them out on their disobedience...

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Did Jesus say they are false prophets? What of those who successfully cast out devils in Jesus name? The demons wouldn't recognize the authority of someone not in the Spirit of Christ. They were given this to spread the kingdom, but they themselves will not enter.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Perhaps, but I believe it would only happen after death when people go to him begging. "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, and do many miracles in your name?" And he will tell them depart from me you who work iniquity.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    Anything is possible for God. Even striking someone's name from the book of life. But Christ can't be sacrificed again, so there is no flip flopping of salvation. Nether would I expect Instantaneous judgement for showing unforgivness.

    Matthew 18 - Is Jesus Lying Or Are You Lying?

    So let's say for instance a Christian asks for forgiveness while holding nothing against their neighbor, are they forgiven by God then and there? Then some time later someone sins against them and they refuse to forgive. Will the former forgiven sins be remembered again? And suppose after...

    Their tracking you?

    Maybe a decade ago my computer speakers would hum a second before my cell phone would inevitably ring. Once the call connected there was no hum. Some sort of handshake prior to connecting? Who knows.

    Not cool at all!

    Anyone can sue, but special immunity was given to them to accelerate the release of the so called vaccine. So the lawsuits are probably going to come to nothing as they were not raised to the level of being crimes against humanity.

    can demons work for god?

    Absolutely unchristian activity. Demons will use every opportunity provided by sin to cause harm. Sending demons to do evil to bad people are basically curses. Jesus said to bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. And in Romans 12:14 it says: Bless those who persecute you...

    Their tracking you?

    I've heard police scanners come through my computer speakers before when they were in their police car nearby. I figure it is due to the coil of wire in the speaker, and it's induction is causing the speaker to vibrate with the high powered AM radio waves. I can't imagine a metal filling having...

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Depression is something I believe God is willing and able to heal. There may also be physiological causes that medical science can help with. It is liberating to know that God is in control.

    The preachers are all dumb dogs

    Because one can't avoid the nebulous in spiritual matters. The Jews have 613 commandments but it didn't make them a Godly people. And the discernment they had became superficial. They judged rather something was in accordance to the law and therefore God's will using reason. I would argue that...

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Happiness is a state of mind. Someone can be happy with little. Your salvation doesn't rest in Adam, but in Jesus Christ. I because Genesis to be true because I first believed other parts of the bible that spoke to my heart.

    Should I Leave My Church?

    Sorry to hear that your church is suffering under this progressive Agenda. I am reminded of Proverbs 29:18 and the vision Christ has for his church. And that has been set aside in many churches by lack of participation in church leadership from would be elders. Now some other heierachy is in place.

    Should I Leave My Church?

    I take it this was run by a few of the women in the church who are volunteers for some sort of ministry. Sounds to me like a few airheads are causing problems without realizing it. Far be it for anyone to gracefully accept correction in this day and age. You may have to leave if nothing is done...

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    Luke 14:28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able...

    What got you interested in eschatology and what was your learning process?

    I don't want to discourage anyone in the study of end time prophecy. Show me a potential fulfillment, and I'll bite. But when it is conjecture upon conjecture presented as being authoritative... Forget about it.
