    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    One day I was listening to the NPR station and a Lady, shared on it that she had an abortion, and later on she came to God. Did God forgive her for her decision or did he Hate her?

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    America, has its liberties, not everything is beneficial is it? Man judges, a transgender for their oddities, or a bi-sexual for having an attraction to both parties. Hey, at least, there is laws against the harming of children, and those who are under the age 18. While you can look at the...

    Is there anything that you like about Muslims?

    No one have anything to say about this post? I enjoy being able to fellowship with you all and you all have the right to believe what ya wanna believe ya know what I mean? @lforrest God just left them in their culture to suffer, and never be able to seek out him? I find that hard to believe...

    What happened to Hell/Sheol/Hades, the abode for departed souls?

    Praise be to Yeshua, for what he has done, having victory over all things, and giving everything over to his Father, and everything is now set right today, as Yahava desired it to be.

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    I believe that Jesus went to the realm of the dead, which had paradise, and prison within the confines. Yes, his body was in the grave, however his soul departed from earth, and he was in paradise with the thief, who believed on him. He also traveled from the Paradise part, and went to preach a...

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    Youngs Literal translates eternal life as age-during life. John 3:15-17 Young's Literal Translation 15 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, 16 for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is...

    What happened to Hell/Sheol/Hades, the abode for departed souls?

    I don't believe that is true either. Thank you for sharing your own way of viewing those things. If you would like to me share the way I see, please feel free to ask.

    Does the Kingdom of God being at hand mean it will come or that it has come?

    That is an interesting view, and I do not see anything wrong with it. That would make a great deal of sense, that there is the beyond the natural to consider, and when one chooses faith in God, they become adopted into the Kingdom of the Son, Heavenly Jerusalem. The Kingdom of God is hand, near...

    In search of the Spirit of Christ - how many Spirits/spirits are there?

    The Spirit of Christ, seems more of the conforming in allowing him to live in and through your flesh by the way that he had lived his life in love for God and others. 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11...

    Will the Paraclete vacate his dwelling in a believer?

    If you choose to renounce God in your life, I believe that the holy spirit will be taken from you. You will just go on seeking after the things of the World if that is what one desires, saying the hell with God, Jesus, and everything they are about. Of course they can repent or change their...

    Is there anything that you like about Muslims?

    Hello Iforrest, It's impossible to limit God, and impossible to know a person's heart. Some people worship God, and in the end of life they will find out it was Jesus who kept them delivered from their former life, without even knowing he was the Son of God, or even the Word of God, or even...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    For me, the Bible is referencial, and the spirit is primary. There is a good notion that if one is going to try to get to know their bible, they would consider all that is within the contents of context. With the New testament for example; there is a lot of historical events happening in that...

    Couple verses prove saved people are on the earth up until the 2nd coming of Christ, as in His actual appearing and our resurrection.

    Perhaps it would be those who turned to God after having put the Son of God to death. You may continue to persist in your view if you decide so… Remember when Jesus told the high ranking council memeber, “Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes...

    Is there anything that you like about Muslims?

    There are muslims who look to God in faith, and they desire to love God and others. Just as their are Roman Catholics that do the same, or Jehovah witness, or Mormons, Hindus, Buddist. While there are some who just do religous things; there are those who do look to God faithfully and he is...

    Couple verses prove saved people are on the earth up until the 2nd coming of Christ, as in His actual appearing and our resurrection.

    Hello ewq, Many people suggest this. I dont believe that is true. You may if you desire. When it comes to that text itself I believe that pertains to believers. But paradoxially, unbelievers would see the destruction caused upon Israel. There are historians Josephus, Tacitus, Cassio Dio, and...

    Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?

    No. Because love is what brings unity. While one can very much share their direct beliefs, from scripture quoted passages, it's only by agape of love by the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ within you as a believer, that truly matters at the end of life. Though, learning and growing of...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Sure it is a pleasure to be open and direct. That is a good way to put it, all people in the world have to make up their decisions, whether or not they believe God; however when it comes to people deciding on things about God; it's impossible to know his ways, or his thoughts, because he is...

    Couple verses prove saved people are on the earth up until the 2nd coming of Christ, as in His actual appearing and our resurrection.

    1stcenturylady, I trust you will, perhaps even the one sinlessness is the one you are talking about. Thank you for saying what you have, my hope is for Gods glory, in Christ, and not my own glory. The day (4th) prior, my work will most likely have me do some reassessment test because its been...
