    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    Right. The NT does state that it's eternal. It's always man, trying to interject his own understandings, that undermines the biblical truths.

    You're never out of line Lambano!

    Should Christians Be Slandering Politicians?

    RHS One of my Catholic born again friends here tells me that if Kamala wins, it'll be because God is bringing about the end and this would help it along, IOW, it's would be His plan. That may well be the case,,,,but since I can't be sure....I'd rather not be one of those that helps the end to...

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    I don't think the other poster is referring to purgatory. First, I don't believe purgatory exists....Protestants do not believe this is a real place. Second, some Catholics don't even believe purgatory is found in scripture. I mean priests/teaching priests.....(not the laity - what they believe...

    The curious case of John 5:4

    Is this for me? I'm trying to state what the OP is supposed to be telling the "fallen" believer. Must not be doing a good job of it. :(

    The curious case of John 5:4

    Yeah. Back to topic. Although all the talk has been about the topic,,,,IMHO. Helping someone that has been bombed with the fact that the bible has error in it... Or, at least, it's not 100% accurate. Or, is not literal in every sense. Here would be my question then...which I did have a thread...

    The curious case of John 5:4

    But I don't think we've been handed a false religion! What makes it be false?? I'd say that some ASPECTS of what is written down is not literal... I'd say that trying to make the bible - the OT in this case - is a hard pill to swallow. I mentioned the age of the earth in a previous post... or...

    Should Christians Be Slandering Politicians?

    Why tish tosh? There might be something good in everyone. Kamala might be a good mother.... But she's not running for mother. Hitler might have been a good companion.... But that didn't stop him from killing 6 million persons ON PURPOSE TO GET RID OF THEIR RACE. Plus, you used the word...

    Should Christians Be Slandering Politicians?

    On remaining silent.... FOR EVIL TO FLOURISH ALL THAT IS NECESSARY IF FOR GOOD TO DO NOTHING. I remember many years ago when the Gay problem began to be addressed because gays were truly persecuted. Then, after some time (a long time) they began to deman marriage, adoption of children, etc. A...

    Should Christians Be Slandering Politicians?

    @TLHKAJ Your post no. 82 to me will not copy. I'm sorry I'm not really following along well and am not reading a lot of posts.... Why are you posting the meaning of HONOR to me? Did you not agree with my meaning or are you adding to it? Also, I'd like to hear your opinion on my post. Are we...

    THE NEW JERUSALEM PART II

    Check out post 15. Also the verses in Rev 21:10.... How do you square this? Doesn't it seem to you that a CITY is being described? 10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11having the glory...

    THE NEW JERUSALEM PART II

    Great post! You certainly make a great point. Thanks.

    THE NEW JERUSALEM PART II

    OK Interesting. IOW, what you're saying is that we are CURRENTLY in the Body of Christ.... But since that could possibly change, we can't know FOR SURE, if we'll be The Bride of Christ... If this is what you're saying, then, yes, I agree fully and would have to change my definitions (and thank...

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    You'll have to show me how I'm wrong. Now you're changing your idea to SOME will be sent to the Lake of Fire BUT will not remain there forever. Are you even sure of what you believe?

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    Not so.... Explained in my post no. 92 You're conflating the SACRIFICE for all with Salvation for all. Jesus' sacrifice is for ALL Salvation is for those that accept the conditions that God has set. WHY do you think the NT is just full of conditions? John 3:16 16“For God so loved the world...

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    I believe (not that I think I'll change your mind) that you're conflating God offering the sacrifice (once and for all) of Jesus to, yes, save all people in a salvific manner.... with God saving all persons forever. I don't know if you've studied any of the atonement theories, but God did make...

    Should Christians Be Slandering Politicians?

    Wow, this is going fast! We'd have to know what honor means. God said to HONOR our parents...not to love them. So, honor is defined as, “showing esteem for one deserving of respect, attention, or obedience.” (), a term with social, moral, and theological implications derived from the Hebrew...

    The curious case of John 5:4

    I'm sorry about your parkinsons C. I know it affects how you feel, I just want to say that I don't think either @Eternally Grateful or I are trashing commentaries. For instance, what do you do when your read 3 or 4 and they don't even agree? I'm sure you realize that if a Protestant reads 1...

    The curious case of John 5:4

    How about Hebrew? The same can be said. The culture was so different when the OT books were being written that we miss a lot of what happens. Words are important. Entire sentences/paragraphs are written where much can be missed. I don't know all the times this happens....but I know that it...

    When are God's Elect Justified?

    Don't know you SD, You might be reformed for all I know.... But I do agree with your assessment of the above verses.
