    The Rich man in Hell

    Well DUH!!! Why would ANYBODY apply "the rich man in hell" to a Born again Christian. in 2022 the UNSAVED "Rich man" STILL goes to hell. Lazarus, on the other hand wasn't in "Heaven" either - yet, he was in "Abraham's Bosom" as an OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVER - waiting for the Promise of God to come...

    Why God tests us

    To show us how much of what we "THINK" we have is real. Peter and the disciples all said they'd die for Jesus, but when they got the chance to they ran like rats deserting a sinking ship. Jesus knew what they'd do, but THEY DIDN'T until they were tested.

    Tongues

    CHuckle!!! This is the "Minority view" - the "Miracle of Hearing" version. What those in the field (Assemblies of God) have reported is: Cases where the Common tongue is spoken and HEARD in 1 or more different languages. Cases where a TONGUE is spoken, AND understood by the listener(s) in his...

    Tongues

    Actually there any number of spiritual gifts, and the "list of 9" is a mixture of Specifics (like Interpretation of Tongues) and Categories (Miracles). Which assumes that the "list" implies any "order of importance". 1 Cor 14 disagrees, giving several uses for the Gift of Tongues (which is...

    will faith still be here?

    Language correction: Pentecostals believe that "The initial evidence" of HAVING BEEN BAPTIZED in the Holy Spirit, is speaking in tongues. This is derived Biblically from the instances where the Holy Spirit fell on groups, and tongues are mentioned. It was also the "Hallmark' of both the...

    will faith still be here?

    So, in summary, Your Father experienced a situation wherein a Demonized person spoke in tongues (and I'm completely aware that this does happen). As a result, YOU have decided that ALL tongues speakers (including myself) in 2022 are demonized, and the Charismatic outpouring was a demonic...

    Question on works and faith

    OF COURSE NOT!!! The persons who try to justify themselves with WORKS HAVE NO FAITH in Jesus, and HIS SIN OFFERING, and are on the road to hell. Eph 2:8,9 makes it clear that works are worthless for Salvation, and it's FAITH - Gifted by God - that gets the job done. AND THEN when a person is...

    Catholic issues

    So you're saying that when Jesus told that we'd KNOW HIS VOICE, and wouldn't follow another, Jesus was lying, and we need old men in dresses and funny hats in Rome to lead us. I'll take vanilla.

    divorce and remarriage?

    1Co 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed (divorced) from a wife? seek not a wife. 1Co 7:28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

    will faith still be here?

    Chuckle!!!! It appears that you may not be real fond of the Catholic churches. Neither am I. HOWEVER, whether you like it or not, God by His Holy Spirit DOES reach people IN the Catholic churches, Convict them of their sin, and bring them into Repentance and FAITH as born again believers...

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    Don't be silly. WE have Free will, and the FACT that Go KNOWS what out free will decisions WILL BE, DOESN'T ALTER THE FACT THAT WE STILL MADE 'EM FREELY. YES, God applies INFLUENCE, And Nobody's coming to Christ UNLESS THEY'RE DRAWN (John 6:44). But the decision to SUrrender, and REPENT in...

    will faith still be here?

    Ah, the standard "Baptist"/"Pentehostile" response to the Charismatic Outpouring (1966-1978, or so), that transitioned into the "Charismatic movement" in the late '70s/early '80s. The Pentecostals weren't fond of it either, since it wasn't "Clothesline Holy" enough for them. It caught the...

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    Disagree. God knew EXACTLY what was going to happen from the very beginning. Nothing that happened was a "surprise", and God doesn't "React" to us, and in all things God moves first. Simple as that.

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    Since it bore GOOD fruit, it was apparently a GOOD Tree - but it was just a tree with no "Magic" intrinsic in it or its fruit. Apparently it was GOOD FRUIT - maybe VERY GOOD. There was no problem at all with the tree!! The problem was that God told them NOT to eat of it. It's human nature...

    will faith still be here?

    Boy Howdy!!! I recall the verse to "Amazing Grace" (that nobody sings): Will I be wafted through the skies On Feathery Beds of Ease? While others strive to WIN the Prize And sail on bloody seas! Since I was "Cross-bred" during the Charismatic outpouring in the '70s (which the Assemblies...

    will faith still be here?

    Sure. since God sends faith, then as long as there are Born Again Folks, and the Holy Spirit is present FAITH will be also. It's a "GIVEN" that "Eschatology" is nothing more than another word for "Rank Speculation". Under those circumstances, and because my home church is the Assemblies of...

    Jehovah is either God or He is not, correct?

    Nope nothing wrong at all. Hear O Israel - our God is ONE Lord - Father, Son and Holy SPirit per Jesus. And we have no concept at all of the totality of God. He said so, and I believe Him.

    True or False, -- How Can We Tell Anymore?

    Looks just like our Frenchy - oh well.

    True or False, -- How Can We Tell Anymore?

    THE SKY IS FALLING!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE horribly - maybe. Or maybe not. But French Bulldogs generally have good sense.

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    But what if they're NOT elect, and just "Firewood"?? Why would you LIE TO THEM and tell them that Jesus died for them, WHEN HE DIDN'T (assuming "Calvinist" theology).
