In the original greek it uses the word aiōnion which means "for an age". So it's really just a translation error to think that the all-loving, all-forgiving God tortures people forever.

I think this is it I conceive of the "soul" as being made up of two parts: the consciousness, which comes from God. You might call it "the higher soul", the self without ego. This cannot be destroyed or changed. And then there are our perceptions, maybe called "the lower soul", which is us, as...

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Matthew 13 44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and...

I promise I'll pray for you but you should read the things others are posting in response to you.

How does Jesus come into you, if you are you and Jesus is Jesus? You're setting up a false duality, Jesus cannot be in you if there is a duality of you versus Jesus as separate beings. For you to have Jesus in you, you must only be discovering what is already there.

3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts. You said yourself in another thread, olives produce oil by being pressed. Diamonds are produced under pressure. As we are being changed we must suffer because our old tastes are turned into ashes in our...

"I am a personal friend of the creator of the universe" "Really? And what is his name?" "The last time I told someone His name, their entire body transformed into a column of ethereal fire and shot up into the sky, so I don't say it out loud anymore"

YHWH can also be translated as: I AM WHAT I AM I WAS WHAT I AM I AM WHAT I WAS I WAS WHAT I WAS I WILL BE WHAT I AM I AM WHAT I WILL BE I WAS WHAT I WILL BE I WILL BE WHAT I WAS I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE Or in other words, God is unchanging, the center of all, which everything flows around, the...

I am starting to think I can only watch movies made in the 50's

And aside from that, you have the eyewitness testimonies of Jesus which were recorded into the Bible, and the thousands of NDE's, which are not scientifically explainable, which all describe life after death and spiritual entities. Luke 16 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went...

If you want some facts you can look up any of the cosmological or ontological arguments for God's existence.

Every person has in them a soul, given to them by God. This can't be destroyed ever because it is part of God and is perfect even in its imperfection - or to phrase that differently - is on the perfect path, guided by the will of God, which makes no mistakes, and the path leads to perfection...

I'll tell you the secret to the Kingdom of God right now: You're already in it, you just can't see it. God is inside everything and everyone, we are all one.

Many NDE's attest that a person chooses the circumstances of their life before they are born, making a covenant with God. You might think "why would I ever choose to live this horrible life?" and the answer is contained in the first page of the Bible, to know good and evil. Your soul wanted to...

IE everyone 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Stop, just stop. God doesn't hate you. God loves you if you smoke or drink or if you don't. God loves you because you are you. You can't go on constantly beating yourself up.

The Pharisees called Christianity a cult too Matthew 23 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with...

The Church of God is all mankind, for it is written: 1 Corinthians 15 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they...
