    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    All that God does is moral and right. Job 36:22-24 Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him? (23) Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’? (24) Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song. God is all-knowing and...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    See here: A parable that deals with eternal condemnation is found in Luke 16:19-31. In this parable, Jesus tells a story about a rich man who died and suffered torment in Hades. Jesus shares that this man longed to be able to send a warning to his family members who were still alive that they...

    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    Universalism means the exile from Eden, the Great Flood, the issuing & enforcement of the Law, the Babylonian Captivity, and all of God's penal judgments are immoral. Revelation 5:13 depicts all Creation, good or bad, righteous or unrighteous, in heaven or not, as acknowledging and applauding...

    Does John 5:24-29 contradict the belief that one must believe in Jesus to avoid eternal death?

    Rom 10:8-13 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: (9) that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (10) For...

    If perfect, why did Adam sin?

    Pantheism in a chop-shop.

    If perfect, why did Adam sin?

    Not wrong. No mention by names, but Jesus does make reference to them in a general sense. Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Mar 10:5-9 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    It becomes a matter of making up one's own mind after due diligence. Doubtful disputes should be dismissed. In Acts 17:11, it is written that Paul and Silas preached at Berea and the inhabitants "received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those...

    What makes a doctrine false?

    The foremost reason for deciding a doctrine is false is that it opposes a fundamental truth contained in the canon of Scripture. I am reluctant to propose a one-size-fits-all way to determine doctrinal issues, but certainly familiarity with the contents of the Bible is important. It is often...

    About Pharisees.

    Even when some Pharisees adapted to Christianity they wanted righteousness to be the result of observing Judaistic laws and customs, notably circumcision. The Roman occupation of Judea led to divisions among the Jewish people. Some advocated insurrection while others lobbied for cooperation in...

    Ten Horns = Daniel 7;7-8, Revelation 12:3

    Quantum Fulfillment - what is it and why is it associated with the number ten? "Quantum" comes from the Latin meaning "how much." "Fulfillment" comes from the Old English word "fullfyllan" which means "to fill up" or "to make full". It was used from the mid-13th century in reference to...

    Do some come here to pontificate their Christian theology...

    Divisions are nothing new, but that doesn't mean anyone should make it their mission to cause divisions. Rom_16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. 1Co_1:10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the...

    Unbelievers in Church

    Public meetings are just that. Anyone can attend as alluded to by Paul. 1Co 14:23 Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? I know of...

    Online Forums are a breeze for me compared to in-person gatherings under the auspices of Christian Fellowship. Lip-service is paid to edification but failures are rife.
