    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    Hello @Truth7t7, This is not a novel idea. I truly think that everyone who passes away is subject to judgment. As I mentioned in my initial post, the events described in Revelation 21-22 are still ongoing. However, I do not think that Yeshua will return today, as I believe he has already come...

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    Hello @Truth7t7 Yes I believe revelation 20 has already happened; faithfully even if I don’t quite completely get it.

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Behold, That is just a perspective you have. Jesus went to hell and overcame it, and in the revelation it states hell is done away with. Therefore it just seems to be a misunderstanding if anything.

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Behold, I don’t believe hell applies anymore due to it being overcame and done away with by the Lord Jesus. People can believe in God and be moved by his spirit within in them. When it comes to people who obstinate against Yahavah, he has a place for them outside of the Kingdom. However...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, It’s seems that in your mind there is no one able to find out Jesus in the afterlife was the one whom saved them. Quoting the Bible doesn’t stop God being able to save people who simply don’t know Yeshua. And be able to show him, in the afterlife as the one whom helped...

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    Hello, I’m not going to argue with you @Ritajanice. There is simply not any reason to do so. You believe what you do; it’s subjective.

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    To me, no matter what one may believe concerning these doctrines themselves there is a bit of hardness of heart that comes with those whom assume and believe and think they are elect. It’s almost like Pharisees, who believed they were better than the lowly man, in the parable spoken of by Jesus...

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    The Bible does convey those teachings, but whether they apply to us is ultimately a personal decision. I approach this from the perspective that everything has already been fulfilled (the ongoing narrative is found in Revelation 21-22). Therefore, some beliefs that others place their faith and...

    Smoke weed

    I had to just say to myself no. Knowing that I’ve wasted 15 years of my life on weed, meth, and spice. They sell pot at the vape shop in Alabama. I had to leave all my friends. I literally had to stop going and seeking after what the stores had and them friends. Now I just go back and forth to...

    CREATION GOD

    Hello @th1b.taylor, It (the Bible) does teach those things but if they apply to us or not of course something one must decide for themselves. Thank you for your comment. I come from a standpoint of all things have been fulfilled already. Therefore some things people in what they place their...

    CREATION GOD

    Hello @th1b.taylor, When it comes to the book of life, I believe that is just the record genealogies of the Nation of Israel which doesn’t exist anymore. Therefore, I don’t look to find my name in the book of life as I don’t see it as something to seek forward to seeing. My hope ultimately is...

    It is true, because Jesus said it is...

    Hello @Brakelite, In face of the question, resurrection is an important part of the Gospel. As Paul demonstrated by writing somewhere “The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection, of the Lord Jesus.” Jesus was risen by the Holy Spirit of his Father. Why? Because at his death; the...

    Who Created God

    Hello @TigersPaw, All we have is evidence of Yahavahs existence to look upon. It’s faith that people believe that he exists to begin with. Whether he exists or doesn’t, people believe he does; faithfully. When it comes to who created God? It seems like there was a time before the beginning...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette If you assume so. By all means sir. There are also biblical verses which concur with people having God writing on the conscious of others. Therefore; while they may not know who saved them from their sins, and they themselves choose to look to God; I believe Yahavah can...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, There is a verse in the Bible, specifically in the Psalms, that speaks about how God's creation declares his existence and glory (Psalms 19:1). I think this encapsulates my belief that God communicates with people about himself through these concepts. I have previously...

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, You’re stating that God is unable to reach the hearts and minds of people by his spirit. I don’t believe that is quite true.

    School shooting at Christian school

    Hello @Rockerduck, No doubt. I’ve watched many murder integrations vastly from teens to even older elderly adults. It’s nothing that is not uncommon to happen within the lives of those who aren’t able to get their anger and hatred out in prayers to God himself. I’ve even talked with an older...

    School shooting at Christian school

    Hatred is not shy in living in human beings. Male or Female. Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
