    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    As I said previously, I have no argument that there is an eternal fire. Doesn't mean that whoever is thrown in to that fire is also eternal. As the the beast and the false prophet. The false prophet in Revelation 13, the second beast, is a nation, guide and led by a demonic angel. Daniel tells...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    Mmm. Add to that the Hollywood perspective with aliens and the supernatural, with the now almost global acceptance and all religions agreeing with the concept of the immortality of the human soul: Satan now has carte blanche in deceiving the world into anything he wants with dead folk appearing...

    First Amendment in Action

    According to scripture the world and the kingdom of God have nothing in common... Especially their particular versions of morality.

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    So. You admit it was an Catholic invading force bent on dethroning a non Catholic Queen from her rightful position, with the Pope having assumed authority to back and support such a venture. My point is made.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Sorry, but that's nonsense. Very few people believe in universalism, and very few of those because they want to do whatever they like without consequences. Not all the above scripture you quoted clearly declared eternal torture. Eternal fire, yes. Eternal punishment, yes. Unquenchable fire...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    That does not mean we have to accept everything at face value and not question God regarding His purposes. "Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord". Questioning does not mean doubting... It means "I would like to know you better, and to better understand my place in the scheme of...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    From death. We are already dead in sin from the moment we first get angry at our mums reliance to feed us for the umpteenth time that day... Grace... The blood of the Lamb... Redeems us from that death sentence, saves us from that death becoming permanent. QUOTE...If God was content with...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    The European Commission and WHO launch landmark digital health initiative to strengthen global health security For those who are confident in their God, this news ought not to be an issue. Interesting yes, because it informs us that Christ's coming is even nearer than we think. That's...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Satan doesn't want to be saved. He wants God's throne for goodness sake. It's a rebellion Patrick. A hard out guns blazing no holds barred irreconcilable conflict between good and evil, and Satan will never agree to terms. He had his opportunity and he confirmed his decision when he murdered...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    If God was content with people coming to Him out of fear, then He should have squished Lucifer/Satan right at the beginning of the rebellion and we could have done without all his theatrics right?

    It is love when you are actually delivering them from that which they would find torturous.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Your third response from #1 needs revision. #2 "There must be some strings attached'. #1. No strings. Trust Me. #2. Trust you? That's it? #1. Yep. Have I ever lied to you? It's a free gift. All you gotta do is unwrap it. #2. What is the free gift? #1. Eternal life. #2. And if I refuse? #1...

    First Amendment in Action

    Any response to this that I might make could end up in litigation with a series of judicial challenges with the USSC deciding in any direction considering the changes of direction they've made over the years. But short answer, yes, you are right. The wall of separation was a judicial...

    Care to be more specific? I'm so happy you are being so thoroughly entertained by my musings.

    First Amendment in Action

    QUOTE: Regarding the constitution of the United States and in reference to those who lived by it and the religious freedoms of the first amendment, Malachi Martin said in his book, The Keys to this Blood... "In their eyes every person must have the right not only to believe in Hell of the...

    First Amendment in Action

    You do realise do you not that the Puritans fined and whipped those who they disapproved of in their religious practice? That for well over 120 years, the Sunday Laws Reform movement has been lobbying government to introduce Sunday Laws to the disadvantage of Sabbatarian Jews and Christians, and...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    Do you have independent sources of these tens of thousands of victims? You and other Catholics speak of the so called Protestant inquisition... Yet offer nothing substantial to corroborate it. At least the Catholic inquisitions are established historically in secular and religious, including...

    First Amendment in Action

    I agree that government interference is a bad thing, but of a Christian institution or movement influences government to legislate worship in such a way that is against your personal principles and understanding of God's will, is that not also a bad thing?

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    The Vatican attempted to take the throne of England away from Lizzie by financing the Spanish Armada to overthrow Lizzie and re-establish a Catholic monarchy. On board were a horde of Catholic priests and assassin's all sailing with the blessing of the Pope and the prayers and masses of Rome...
