    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    The point with David. is that David's suffering within the otherwise unrelated context of his own life, became prophecy of Christ. The words are spirit...all of them. Meaning, we should also be careful not to put them in a box by what we might understandingly consider proper context. But your...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    Certainly we should be careful. I just gave some examples of Jesus cherry-picking for previous scripture in another post: marriage, the days of Noah, etc. I am sure there are tons more: manna from heaven, the first will be last, rest, etc. The problem is, each and every one can be claimed to...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    The scriptures are full of word pictures of things to come. Jesus, the Word and Author, picked from his own previous inspired words to make certain points, marriage, the days of Noah, etc. I could quote them...but I have already given the example of David's suffering being a picture of Christ's...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    Context certainly applies in many cases of study but not all, in terms of interpretation. An example would be David in the context of his own suffering and being hunted, crying out to God, which then also becomes very much out of his own context, but in the context of Christ. In fact, Jesus...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    Indeed, that knock on the door by Jesus comes differently to many in different circumstances. The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not...

    Will unbelievers never be saved?

    "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes." Luke 12:48

    The Problem With TIME.

    Yes, and yes, I am guilty of trying to be kind or gracious, taking a position of "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." There will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth", and yet, "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes." Luke...

    The Problem With TIME.

    Thanks. a. and b. are pretty good (as is Craig's is above) as "theories" go. Still, each of those is an attempt to rationalize through the created lens and illusion of time. The term and idea of "temporal sequence" in a. is an interesting one. But that does not begin to define God being...

    The Problem With TIME.

    Yes, and how soon things turn ugly. :(

    The Problem With TIME.

    The respect missing is that respect owed to God. I have not boasted. But He has established the criteria...and it is not that of "the most influential philosophers", but a donkey, or a king, or a prophet. To the contrary, "philosophers" are biblically associated with "vain deceit." And the...

    The Problem With TIME.

    I am glad to see the discussion going on here. The takeaway message is: "That there should be time no longer" Revelation 10:6-- and is the last thing to come before the end. If you will notice...it is proclaimed as a command.

    "Perfect" is indeed the word.

    The Problem With TIME.

    Craig video #2--is even more painfully wrong. Even in principle, denying the gospel of Jesus Christ. :( But--hey, ya gotta start somewhere. I get that. Good work. Just ultimately wrong.

    The Problem With TIME.

    Oh--that was painful to watch! I only watched the first one, and will go back and watch the second. But thought I would comment at this halfway point, then perhaps revisit after part 2. Thank you--those are all good points... BUT, if you can imagine, that would be like two of the best of...

    The Problem With TIME.

    I posted this in the Blogs...but it is just so important that I thought I would post it here too. Which I do, because the issue and misunderstanding about Time with regard to God and the scriptures, i.e. Bible Study-- Is, I find myself stating facts against the comments and beliefs of many good...

    The Problem With TIME.

    It’s not that there’s not enough time, but too much of it. Time was created. Yes, the subject and problem with time is a religious issue. Which is likely to leave many if not most, out of their element—even the religious. One must first understand that everything—including time—exist within...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Like all biblical issues, this is one where Time gets in the way of fully understanding. The issue is clouded by the illusion of time. If we can consider that time is part of this created world but not a part of our eternal God, then this issue is one that needs to be translated from terms of...

    I started a BLOG today -- CHEESEBURGERS WITH GOD!

    It was I. It's a blog author's choice, as some blogs are to spark conversation, and some are not.
