    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. Yes, God wants to bring peace, reconciliation and unity...

    You have a very good point here. As we get to know God, His character, these passages of His intense wrath in isolation seem to not to be consistent with His love. If God the Father sent His Spirit to us to bear His character in us and the greatest and dominant attribute of His character is...

    Yes you are right. My unnderstanding is definitely limited. As is the scope and volume of the various biblical canons. What agreement. There are so many contradicts between different contributors of the bible books. But regardless, every reader of the bibles have their personal interpretation...

    Thanks. Yes, the restoration of all to their Creator, even the planets, all of creation crying out to be liberated. Awesome hope to have. I love it. It fills my soul, my heart with joy. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    I don't know why people want to try and silence God by putting His expressed thoughts in a box, or should I say, a book and sealing it shut, a closed canon. That sounds more likely a Satan thing to do than God. As Jesus said, I have much more to tell you, more than you can now bear. But when...

    Eternal purpose..... His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. I really think that the church in general has...

    We have been discussing a bit about revelation in this thread. More about revelation that is beyond what was given to those who contributed to the books of the bibles. These has been mixed responses as you can imagine.

    I agree with you mostly but not on this one. I'd have to ask how you came to this conclusion? I agree that scriptures is beneficial but it doesn't contain every word that comes from the mouth of God. Jesus said that's what we need to know and live by for our stay here on earth.

    And....? Are you assuming that I/we your readers are concerned if a thing isn't addressed by the contributors of the limited bible book. As Jesus said, and this is recorded in the bible, man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Is every word...

    Actually we have forever to repent and be reconciled to our Creator. He is very patient my friend. His longsuffering endures forever. First of all, love is patient, it suffers loooooong. For the record, I don't align with any group, sect, denomination. I'm not sure what this Universalism...

    Sorry to disappoint you, well not really, but all created beings will be born again. Again, there's no limit or expiry on His grace, mercy and love. Yes, many will do some time for their crime but not forever, without end. This was never His plan or desired outcome my friend. Why do we insist...

    Y Yes! What a brilliant plan. To win every created being over, even His enemies by reconciling them, redeeming them, by adopting them, rebirthing them into His family so that they get to know and experience the depths of His LOVE. After His judgement has been served, it makes way for His love...

    Thankfully the Creators love and mercy endures forever, has no expiry date to it. So when His created beings repent, and we all will, He will forgive us and reconcile us to Himself. Why, because this is His desired outcome, not willing that any miss out on Him, tasting and seeing that He is GOOD...

    But wouldn't God, Satan's Creator just prove He is a tyrant, unloving, unmerciful, not righteous in designing, creating and using the LOF as Satan's eternal home. When did the Creator design and create the lake of fire? First? Was this the context for the rest of His creation, what He built...

    It's challenging for us created beings to think like the Designer/Creator. Maybe impossible unless He gives us a divine revelation or ability to imagine such a task. How do we start with nothing then imagine something unknown. If we could imagine something not in existence, a spirit being...

    We would all join Satan and his angels in the lake of fire as John described it, if it weren't for the mercy and grace of my Creators. And what a fantastic revelation this will be when God forgives Satan and gives him a seat to His left. Not one created being will miss out on their Creators...

    We We are given the ability to know truth hidden in the mind of the Almighty All-wise Creator. No longer are we ignorant of Who He is because His Spirit reveals Him to us. How privileged are we.

    This grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    Very good question. I'm glad others are digging deeper. Keep going and it may blow you away as to what you will find. So many haven't realised that a few humans (Catholic priests/leaders) have pushed the pause/stop button on God's eternal never ending story. They closed the biblical canon so...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    You have read, the wages of sin is death. All died in Adam. All have sinned. O wretched man that I am. Being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: All humans therefore deserve to suffer the...
