    Responding to Someone Who WANTS to Go to Hell

    Yeah, sadly she shows herself to be a flake, outspoken but unknowledgeable and uninformed. Being outspoken is not enough. When confronted with atheist arguments, I wait until the list or reasons starts and then continue to ask "And what happen before that?" Eventually they have to answer "I...

    What is the difference between a spirit and a spiritual body?

    But you have nearly contradicted yourself--as many do, regarding this question. As you said, after He rose from the dead, Jesus clearly indicated that He was not a spirit. But then your ended with the idea that He was, and we can look forward to "a spiritual body according to the new spiritual...

    Transgender refugees

    No, you're not being honest, and thus resort to a scapegoat accusation. Because the truth hurts. I told you that I go among these people with the love of Christ, but you do not believe me. Meanwhile, you don't sweep the house, you let evil in and make room for it. :( We're not talking about...

    Transgender refugees

    You say if "you"--but it is not me, it's them who deny themselves, abandoning their very human nature, against their neighbors and against God. In fact, it persuaded, I would bet every one of them would say they hate themselves. And that's the real problem. And just to be clear, I have no...

    Transgender refugees

    You don't know what you're taking about. It's not hate, it's disdain, "a distancing or disassociation of oneself with something." All sexual sin is against the body, against God. 1 Corinthians 6:18

    Transgender refugees

    "Hateful" is the wrong word, and so is "existing." Do people who are under attack hate? Sometimes, but mostly they just don't want to be driven to fight for and defend what ought to be considered common and not an issue, certainly not one to be overrun by what is not common, nor even natural...

    Responding to Someone Who WANTS to Go to Hell

    I would say, that "Unfortunately that is just an easy and superficial form of conjecture, an opinion about something she could, but does not know all there is to know about; and that opinion is also contradictory...because she seems to actually believe enough to know there is a hell." I'm not...

    Transgender refugees

    In such circumstances people will say anything. But a person with transgender tenancies should rightly expect to face persecution anywhere there are people who accept the gender they were born with. It makes them a rebel, a rebel against the human race. That would make them no different than...

    Tips to endure to the end

    #1a Know also that "the End" referred to in the "endure to the end" passaged, is Jesus (by name). Without whom we ourselves can do nothing.

    Was the Father's will always subordinate to the Son's will?

    The Father and the Son are One, as He said, "I and the Father are One." The issues expressed in the scriptures show rather a subordination between the Spirit and the flesh, and between the Head and the body.

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Okay, brief version: "Predestination" is just a word used in scripture (by God) to give relevance to the passing of time wherein the revelation of all truth is disbursed to all involved from the beginning to the end of time, which is otherwise a false dichotomy (not really true, but an imposed...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    If the light of truth is thought to be an "attack"--you should probably close your eyes and only open them ever so slowly. In which case it is not advisable to speculate or teach or make accusations...at least until you have seen the whole truth without going up in smoke.

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    To all, This is perhaps the best explanation: But even that is limited to the perspective of existing within the pages of all that is written--written "before." Please understand, that all of what is written "was" written "before" the world was--before any of our world experiences began...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    "Predestinate" is not in scripture but only translated as such. There are other possible ways to translate the meaning...which I have expounded upon. I also explained the context meaning of how "He actually says He does know (before things occur)." The point being, since both what occurred and...

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    What's hard about "This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be fulfilled." is that the world did not witness it. Which--is so stupid--because it was not supposed to: Luke 17:20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    There is actually no predestination. Here is the definition of the original word: προορίζω proorízō, pro-or-id'-zo; from G4253 and G3724; to limit in advance, i.e. (figuratively) predetermine:—determine before, ordain, predestinate. "Predestinate" from Romans 8:29 is simply world-speak for...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    That is a good and helpful passage, but you have still omitted and apparently have no knowledge of the facts that we who are in Christ are a body of many different members and, yes, different gifts, for the edifying of all given to all according to God as it pleases Him. In which case, as it...
