I think this is because of the universal effects of Christ defeating death, that all go to the Resurrection of Life or the Resurrection of Condemnation, and exist forever. But it is called the "second death" for they do not have the life of God within them as the saved do, and so are eternally...

What is "I Am" except self-causality and eternal existence? This extends throughout the Three Persons of the Trinity (although this is not to ignore their relations of Unbegotten and Begotten, and Procession which is neither). Because of this it is a description and not properly a name for...

Never said this, but you can continue attacking fabrications created by your own impure words.

The voting system being changed to something like a single transferable vote would be preferred so that we could get more third parties involved. I am not sure how this would work with the Electoral College but if we needed to get rid of that to get out of this two-party system I absolutely...

Speaking of Israeli shows one of which I truly love, although you may have seen it already, is Shitsel, which follows a strict Orthodox family throughout their lives and what happens to them. Apparently it is very accurate to Orthodox life and so was interesting to see for that reason, also it's...

He has no proper name but only titles. The Incarnate Lord has a proper name because He was Incarnate in time. A proper name belongs to things created. "Father" or "God" or "Lord" or to the Third Person "Holy Spirit" are all titles not proper names derived from the good deeds and functions of...

Thank you I like your post as well, as I have more accurately learned the LDS position directly rather than indirectly. This last point I do want clarity on though: you do affirm that God has passions and is in a sense physical? Or is that just a comparison? I do agree that when thinking of...

The limit is that at least we become loving like God is, but God always is loving. It is impossible that we can become "always is loving" if we came into existence at one point, so that is a limit. That we even need redemption and will be redeemed and glorious shows a difference. By...

Their revelation is self-evidently false and I take it less seriously than even Islam, but they should like all be treated with love and respect. Their friendship and companionship is obviously better than an atheists, and the Tabernacle Choir is amazing as always. I've also mainly only had good...

Yes, I've considered becoming an expatriot when I'm older, although not for any reasons like yours I am not too concerned with the politics here. Mainly to either a) live in a much cheaper place while working online (therefore my money will go far further and make my life easier) like the...

It doesn't say He is without the Spirit, and one must understand to understand the Trinitarian position is the immanent and economic Trinity. It is an old distinction and relevant to reading any Trinitarian text or doctrine. The distinction is this: the immanent Trinity is the life of God in...

"Making up one God" is not Trinitarian doctrine, and "Yahweh/Jehovah" is not the name of the Father, either way, I suppose He lacked the Holy Spirit when He was conceived by Him, or when He literally breathed the Holy Spirit on the Apostles before His Ascension, but okay. The abuses of Scripture...

Daily praying the Psalms and memorizing the whole book of Psalms. Because they all tell of Christ and are the prayers of Christ either in His Person or by Him in our stead they will begin to transform your soul to think on what Christ thought about and to live as He lived. Not to mention they...

Renunciation is a verbal declaration of your intent to not do that sin anymore and to put it behind you, that it is dead to you and you to it. Repentance is turning away from sin with contrition and not doing it again, and contains an inward renunciation in that you have turned from it, but not...

How does it not reference the creation of the cosmos when it says "all things were made by Him"? Moreover, it says "the Word," would this not be God's creative Word through which He made all things saying "be" and they are, through which He commands and they are created (the Psalms testify to...

Very interesting info on the translators, thank you for sharing it. I personally enjoy the KJV and listen to the Alexander Scourby audioversion daily, I grew up listening to my mother read it so it's really good to me, not to mention the translation is amazing. God bless.

For 1 Thess 4 what justifies this being the same archangel just because the same word is used? Also the word "with" which can mean "in" or "by" what makes it necessarily His voice? "He who hears you hears me" does not make "me" into "you," but shows the synergy between creatures and God...

When it isn't a thing in LDS theology does it mean that it's denied or just not affirmed? For if there is immutability then that must mean there was never change, and time is the measure of a change and was created, along with matter being in flux and not immutable so it must be that God has...

People mean different things when they say "love" so it may be true or false based on what they mean. Not all the definitions are equivalent so that one can say "love is love." In our culture people often say "love is love" to refer to homosexual relationships, by which they mean "the romantic...
