    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    ok, then let me remind you again: and as i earlier wrote to you, i'll write again also -- that the scripture tells us exactly why people, in fact the majority of people, choose & receive damnation: And this is the condemnation, that The Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness...

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    because the resurrection is here described as a change of clothes, not a recreation of soul which was annihilated upon undressing. i think we have to put this together with several things, including Revelation 21:9-10, where an angel tells John, "I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the...

    There is an equivalence with the parables that precede it. It is given as one of a series of three together - not by accident. The wicked and lazy servant equals the 5 foolish virgins equals the evil servants who beats the other servants. The good and faithful servants equal the 5 wise servants...

    yes i think we understand each other & aren't at odds -- and just to say it clearly, for the sake of anyone later reading this and trying to follow along: i do not categorically disagree with the interpretation that the talent-weights represent knowledge of the Kingdom of God i believe that...

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    specifically: if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:15) clearly unforgiveness exists. you had said you suspect God prepares a room for "all of us" ((link to your comment)) - which, i took your 'all' to mean all mankind, in...

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    when God kills, wounds, takes vengance and judges -- that is not evil. judgement and vengeance belong to Him. it is good when He judges. this informs you what the correct understanding of Isaiah 45:7 is. He creates peace, and the opposite of peace. the opposite of peace isn't 'evil' it's...

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    this must be put together & understood with: This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5) if you do not believe God is good, you cannot possibly understand scripture. the word in Isaiah 45:7 that kjv puts...

    of course; quite easily He knows you and me: I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind (Jeremiah 17:10) There is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:13) you are evil, and i am evil: There is...

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    He says not everyone will be saved. He says the way to life is narrow and few find it. He says the way to destruction is broad and many follow it to its end. He says all who do not believe Him are condemned already, and will be cast into the lake of fire. do you believe Him or do you not?

    does Christ know how many mansions to build?

    you need the context of Habakkuk's statement in order not to butcher its interpretation. God is sending Assyria, a brutal pagan people ((whom Jonah preached to)) to punish Israel's idolatry. Assyria will conquer Israel and carry them away into captivity. Habakkuk is aghast. he complains to...
