    Ju Just a quick interjection here. Was Nicodemus ever born again?

    Sure. I don't really care about Calvinism personally. I'm glad to be free of any Christian group, denomination, theology etc. I mean free to engage with them and free to not. Free to believe what the Spirit teaches me without any care in the world of who or what agrees or disagrees with us...

    I'm more than ok to put stuff out there from different people's perspective. This is where scriptures reveals a God Who does what some may call evil. But 'why' is my Equestion. Is God justified for doing these not good things? I know He is. It is very challenging I know. But it is in the...

    More about : Calvinism

    Just a quick question. Do you have a problem with God exercising His sovereignty to cast many humans and angelic beings into the lake of fire and forcing them to remain in there forever? Is He free to act in this way? Or has He got some restrictions placed on Him? What happens when my will and...

    Ritajanice, again, my encouragement is to just speak as an ambassador of the living Christ whatever He gives you and let Him do with the truth as He pleases. I have found it has taken the pressure off me, as it should, and presents an opportunity for the Spirit (through you) to convict the...

    You are right. We can get small fragments of what Jesus did in the collection of scrolls from 2000 years ago that we refer to as the bible. But what it records compared to what He actually did is minuscule according to one of those apostles/disciples you refer to. This is the disciple which...

    Yet God has His reasons for doing what He does. Again, for His ultimate pleasure, not ours or anything else's pleasure. I find most of those I communicate with have us humans at the centre of God's plan, as if it's God's main focus. But we certainly aren't. According to His eternal purpose...

    1. God told Joshua to kill men, women, animals and CHILDREN. Josh 6:21 They killed everyone, men and women, young and old, everyone except Rahab and the others in her house. They even killed every cow, sheep, and donkey. 2. 1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that...

    Absolutely. We see it played out over throughout history as we have insight into His plot to destroy so much of this planet. There's a recorded instance where He needed to deceive someone quite powerful and influential so that God can have them killed. So He asked if any angel could come up...

    And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

    God has pleasure in the end result, when all will live and be redeemed and reconciled to Him forever after.

    I might have misunderstood you here, but didn't Jesus say that God sends the 'goats' and some 'virgins' to Hell? I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been...

    If one concludes that it was the will of God for His chosen people, the Children of Jacob to receive their Messiah then I guess you could strongly argue that they resisted the will of God. But I do not, as God hardened their heat, blinded their eyes, blocked their ears (Matt 13:10-18) so that...

    Would you be able to give some examples of what God makes believers do every day and what He doesn't. Thanks. If God intentionally predestined the elect (a few people) to be saved (from hell), does He intentionally predestine the rest (most people) not to be saved, not atoned (sins erased) then...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I was just wondering why no one challenged this statement. I could assume that everyone agrees with it. I haven't heard too many others make a point of these actions of their God. I can understand that some just don't want to think of their God in this way even though the record tells us theses...

    Again, having received the Spirit after His baptism, He had divine authority to do some amazing stuff, some you have listed. And to think that most were never recorded. One day I hope He will tell us all the things He did down here before being glorified as well as the greater things He's been...
