    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    Jesus death and resurrection was justification for the world, in my opinion. What separates people from God is faith. Justification in Christ. Jesus death and resurrection justified the world into reconciliation.

    John Calvin - The Shroud cannot be genuine

    Im simply reminded of what was said to Thomas. While I continue to believe, even that the returned happen in that day in as promised. People continue to be blessed, for believing in him, faithfully. I don’t believe that there is really any need for proof, simple faith and believing and...

    What Does It Mean That No One Knows The Day Or The Hour (Mark 13:32)? Here Is One View

    Hello WalterAndDebbie, My view was it happened during the siege of Jerusalem in 70ad. What day or hour, don't know exactly, but I believe faithfully it happened. Many people interject that John was written in 90ad, but I believe all the letters in the bible are debatable. And believe it was...

    What Was The Last Book You've Read?

    I just finished read the book of Matthew again, yesterday. Started a little in to Marks already. I got different kinds of books, like Stephen king, for example, I got few books like Revelations on Revelation by Shawn McCranney. There was a book I gave away I never finished reading; Glenn Hill “...

    Have You Decided On Your To Do List For 2025?

    Hello Angelina, By the grace of God, reach September 30th, 2025. Which will be my first year in 15 years when I haven’t used any drugs. I would like to get back into Bible study and perhaps make videos again.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    No, unbelievers are not saved to the Kingdom of Heaven. They will be in the heavenly realm though, due to hell being done away with. Jesus has paid for all peoples sins, unbeliever of not. His death at the cross and rising again by the Holy Spirit of God has made this possible. However faith it...

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    Saved to the Kingdom of Heaven, is a real thing having faith in Christ today, and building up the spiritual man through abiding in Christ is a real thing. So is not being saved to the Kingdom of Heaven. There are people on the outside of it. I don't think they are suffering but I do believe they...

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    The thing is Dan Clarkson, I choose to be authentic. Im not ashamed of admitting the truth.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    That's right KUWN. There are also those who believe you can totally walk completely sinless in the flesh. It makes no sense to me.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Behold, I find the Bible to be of tremendous value in teaching us about life, and about living in the spirit. Gods the final authority on those matters. When it come down to brass tax of things, I trust the Bible. I just don’t trust human beings as much, and instead trust God more than human beings.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Hello @Behold, I don’t see it as the final authority. I was sharing earlier where I read about Jesus who was the one taught with real authority. Like I was saying to Dan, while Jesus taught with authority a lot of the content and context reveals Jesus speaking to a living breathing people in...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Like I stated many flaunt the Bible around as though it’s some type of authority. I think that is a problem when people do that to others having no mercy or consideration. I was reading earlier it was Jesus who taught with authority, so it’s best to listen to him, however even so, not...

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    Hello @Dan Clarkston, I fail and sin, when I give into my flesh. It happens to many people in their lifetime. Some say if they do they lose their entire salvation. Makes no sense to me.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    Hello @Dan Clarkston, Like I said what separates people from God is faith. Their sins have been paid for. In the revelation is states hell is done away with. Many people don’t believe what Jesus stated about the things most happen soon, and he said about 7 times or so he would be coming soon...

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    To the heavenly realm, yes. To the heavenly kingdom, no. I don’t believe in universalism but I believe hell has been done away with, and the picture I get from revelation 22, is those outside and those going inside.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    There are many people flaunt the Bible as around as though it is authority, the truth is and still remains it is simply the Bible. Many people believe that they can flaunt the scripture around as though it’s some type of authority. The thing is, is God whom is the ultimate authority, just like...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Hello MaryMog, I’m different than most people because I believe that the revelation has happened and we live in the New Heavens and the New Earth. So while I believe some passages are applicable, some passages are most in fact are written to certain people in that day and age. I study the...

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    I believe it still remains true. That there are people who absolutely do not place their faith in God, nor seek him out. In Jesus day, the Pharisees sought to seek themselves above God, a lot of this pertained to them being of the blood line of Abraham. Which meant nothing, its heart that truly...
