    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    Read the Scriptures. I don't need to speculate about what is God's justice because the Bible says how it operates. God doesn't need teologians points of view to adapt His justice to theirs; the only idea is laughable. Is. 55:6 Search for Jehovah while he may be found. Call to him while he is...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    God's justice consists of paying each person according to their actions, whether they are good or evil. Treating well evil people who hurt good people is not justice. God's love becomes stronger with his justice, because if he loves good people, he cannot allow people who harm them to continue...

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

    We, Bible students, don't need theologians to tell us what this means: 1 Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice...

    Commanded to love God more than we love ourselves?

    God is the source of the life and the One who maintains everything functioning under his statutes, so we can trust that his creation will do what is expected. What would happen if God decides not no keep the planet oxigenated any more? If he decides that the soil won't produce more plants? If he...

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

    1 Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will...

    Why do some people not like the idea of OSAS?

    The Bible is clear as to whether there will be people who will be completely eliminated from existence forever.

    The Problem of Christian Anti-intellectualism

    Atheists have made many religious people believe that to be spiritually wise they need to study theology in seminaries or otherwise at universities... In the Bible the word used is "wise"... not intellectual. Neither Jesus nor his disciples were intellectuals (with few exceptions). Those who...

    Commanded to love God more than we love ourselves?

    If you don't love God... you are not loving yourself.

    The Problem of Christian Anti-intellectualism

    Can a person who denies something that God teaches be considered wise?

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    That way of thinking is illogical since you can't deduce one thing from the other. If I say someone: I am since before your father was ... Am I saying that I am eternal? Those who heard Jesus knew that he was not talking about eternity, but about age. When he said that he saw Abraham doing...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Again: I know everything I need to know about my God's identity. I don't need to know everything about Trump to know who he is. Again: you can't know someone you don't even know his name. I recommend you to start with this exercise: In the Bible God says too may times: MY NAME IS...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    I guess you think you were visited by your "Lord" and can speak tongues... Can you write those tongues too? I would like to see how you write that you think you speak... :rolleyes: PS: I guess you can download a different keyboard if you need it. ;)

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    I know everything I need to know about my God's identity. You can start by knowing HIS personal name: it is more than 6 thousand times in His written word.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Nothing about God's identity can be a "divine mystery," because if God's will is for you to know Him and His Son in order to be saved, it would be futile to even try to save yourself because you cannot know something that would be an incomprehensible mystery. .. and God would be cruel to demand...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    In the early 20th century, when Pentecostals began to expand their idea that they were being anointed with spirit and given the ability to speak in tongues, some leaders among them went to African territories in order to teach their doctrine. These religious people really believed that they...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    That is nothing more than a pretext to continue in the same confusion, because where there is confusion anyone can invent "clarifications" and so glorify themselves. The clear reality is evident in the Bible and if we want to be honest to ourselves we must accept it as it is: Jesus is the Son...

    Recognizing Interpretive Bias

    As has always been the case, God's true people is not an ideological anarchy. In the people of God there is a group of people who must serve to help understand the truths revealed to the rest. In the time of Israel they were priests, judges, prophets and kings. In Christian times they were the...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    If Jesus is the Son of God, it is obvious that he is not God. Jesus has a God. Do you consider yourself as having that very same God Jesus has??? Jesus called Him "my God and your God" (John 20:17) and he even in heavens talked about Him as his God (Rev. 3:12) ... What other people think, say...

    Is the story of Lazarus and the rich man literal?

    When we analyze the context of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the entire chapter, Lk. 16, we can notice that it is not about doctrines on the state of the dead, but about the false idea that social status and riches are a sign of God's approval. The Pharisees of Jesus' time glorified...

    What does the term "will of God" mean?

    As said, God's will when He created humans on the planet was that the descendants of Adam and Eve would live forever and exercise adequate control of the assets that God formed for them. Humans were not supposed to get sick and die, but to live happily and forever on earth turned into a...
