God draws man to Himself through unique circumstances for each individual, orchestrating events and people that ultimately lead us to the truth, which is the Word. Commentary, history is helpful. The Word is the Light of men. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word...

My beliefs are based on the Bible and conformed by the Holy Spirit. I just me tioned that scholars on the first few centuries believed in the deity of Jesus and the triune God. As most scholars today believe fthe same, some very off that path. As for your question, Tertullian's logic is good...

Not flying anymore. Anyways, I just wanted to share something with you. I think I was in that thread you mentioned when you revealed that you were an Ante-Nicene Christian. I wasn't aware of any difference as if the Council of Nicea changed orthodoxy. Pre- Nicene scholars believed in the deity...

An internet slap is not too painful ... would you like to meet for a cup of coffee sometime? :)

That's a harsh judgment. The majority of conversations are respectful and kind. I know what mean though, sometimes people get mean and say things they normally wouldn't to your face, insulting you, defaming your character ... implying you aren't a Christian. You develop thick skin after awhile...

The Holy Spirit converts the soul, lifts the veil of blindness. We can't do that, we can only plant seeds, spread the gospel message, directing the lost to Christ for salvation. And the gospel can be simply stated: Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day according to the scriptures. If...

I believe in annihilation too, but in the Lake of Fire. Hades is not the Lake of Fire. Hades ( and everyone in it) is thrown into the Lake Of Fire after the Great White Throne Judgment _ after the Millennial Kingdom _ at which time the first earth and first heavens are destroyed ( 2 Peter 3:10)...

Goodnight Jack and goodbye.

No, just the concept of eternal hell.

75 years old ... set in your ways...but not forever, just for an age.

It's all about translation and interpretation. Look at the very words you are quoting, "day and night". When the first earth and heavens are destroyed, there won't be anymore nights now will there. It suggests a temporal period of time, ages and ages.

I guess you didn't get the meaning of aion = age? "age-lasting" fire ... "for ages". Maybe I need to make the letters bigger and bolder? In all fairness, how is eternal torment a judgment proportionate to the sin? People live some 80 years and some don't even reach their 20th birthday. How is...

IMHO, the error comes with the translation of "aionios, or aionion" from aion, all variable periods of time or outside of time itself. When applied to God, His domain or our free gift, it means eternal. But when applying it to a temporal reality, it means ages, lifetimes, generations, epoch, or...

I doubt we have 7 years left on this planet. The Great Tribulation is knocking at the door. The Climate is the last thing to be concerned about. God has ordained everything to happen up to this point. He will bring judgment upon the world -- catastrophies beyond the global warming scenario and...

The purpose of evil is so that we can understand and know what good is. Now imagine something beautiful, good, peaceful, joyful, kind, gentle, loving. Can you see something? Now imagine everything tha way, a perfect world? I can. That is what is coming. God will rid the planet of evil soon. It...

I always viewed Hebrews as a message to the Christian Jews and non-Christian Jews _ not to say Hebrews is not applicable to Gentile believers. It is just that Gentiles were never enlightened like the Jews were before Christ. The Jews tasted their heavenly gifts, they were the chosen nation...

Every ingredient in there looks okay ... except SUCRALOSE. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (also nutrasweet) ARE damaging to you gut health and actually contribute to obesity. [What are the side effects of sucralose? To reiterate the many sucralose side effects, they include: alters glucose and insulin...

No, God told Him _ a Prophet _ to specifically prepare for a 7-year drought NOT the Great Tribulation! Again, we are prepared spiritually. You are preparing for global devastation? Sure, survival is bleak by the end of tue GT - but there will be some. An arrogant and prideful man says: "I got...
