    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello Skovand, When I think of second death, I think of death to oneself. Death to the wills and ways of the selfish nature. Jesus overcame this. When it comes to hell, I believe it was a real place that existed in which Jesus taught about using a parable and it was a place where everyone went...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Intresting read, and I thank you for contributing @3 Resurrections. I believe the same picture would be in the heavenly realm, which perhaps the lake of fire is nearby, the heavenly Jerusalem, or within it itself. All we can really do is speculate but as you stated it was within Jerusalem, I...

    TESTIMONY

    Absolutely! It's difficult to find people who desire to actually go verse by verse in the bible. Because it takes years to even get a grasp some things on that is being said. While on my personal search, there was two preachers I found to listen to, Paul Washer, and then I found Shawn McCranney...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @quietthinker, I wouldn't know exactly. Those verses, showcase the LORD in some translations; even-so notwithstanding, the is one single passage in the bible, about a Messenger of the Lord who was sent, perhaps a pre-incarnate type of Christ, before the actual sending of the Word of God...

    TESTIMONY

    The testimony I have simply is. There was something wrong with my heart, and decided to read about the Lord Jesus, cause to me... all I ever heard was that he was a healer, and one whom could help me. Thankful and grateful though I know I do not amount up to what he has done, he done so much for...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    The LORD in Exodus would be Yahavah, wouldn't be @quietthinker. In the Old Testament, no one would listen to Yahavah, for example, Jonah who ran away from Yahavah, to escape going to Niveniah. Wasn't it called, I don't think he was unbelieving, but he ran away from the LORD, and was thrown...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    If there are any other people who would like to comment on this thread please feel free to do so. I would like to hear other people's thoughts and opinions concerning the topic matter. There are individuals on this website forum that I have to simply place on ignore due to the constant berating...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, I won't respond to you anymore. Thank you for your repeated statements, and for harassing me in this thread. I love you! I wish the best for you friend. I don't believe this is how the holy spirit interacts with other human beings. I am done with the back and forth.

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Location of the Lake of Fire? Revelation 14:9-13 9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, If you say so. I like hearing people's perspectives, right or wrong. I guess I am a Heretic. It's a diverse opinion. I don't go around trying to harass people though. Bordering the lines of harassment, in my opinion, is not good. Even if it is just good ol' bible sharing. That's...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, It seems to me that you have an agenda. That is alright. That is why I have you on ignore. I only respond to give you the benefit of the doubt. I do love you, and do wish you the best, but if your operation is simply to separate by segregation. You can be to yourself. I just...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, What does this have to do with the current conversation that we were just having? My friend, I know a lot about the bible and what it has to say. I don't say this out of arrogance, I just don't know why the sudden change of direction and conversation. We were talking about hell...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, I believe people are resurrected and enter the heavenly realm, but not the Kingdom of Yahavah, who are non-believers and desire nothing to do with him. That is what the Bible proclaims. Where you are in your understanding, is where you are. I believe that Revelation 21, and 22...

    Deceiving Yourself?

    As each person has a subjectively lived life, my encouragement is for people not to deceive themselves. Seek for God in faith, and may his spirit guide you to the truth.

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Behold, I do not believe in universalism. There is only one way to God, which is through the Word of God, known as Yeshua. There are many people whom are always preaching about Hell Fire, I am someone who believes that hell is done away with. The Bible states that it is. Whether or not...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Bob Estey, You're really good at giving concise answers. Perhaps it's part of the fire Yeshua baptized with, don't you think? John the Baptized said, "He which is coming will baptise you in the Holy Spirit and fire." Maybe everyone experiences the fire at some point in life when they are...

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    Quoting a passage to Timothy, is in essence to remind him of the scriptures they had at that time, which would be the Old Testament. Not the New Testament, which I believe was still being written.

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, That doesn’t solve any case of self asserted authority. Only God would be the true authority. He is the one whom judges the heart after all.

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    People who assume they have this so called authority tend to treat others as less than; because they have thoughts and ideas concerning the Bible itself. Is this wrong? No. It’s not wrong to study, and think, and figure out what the Bible is stating.
