    Scripture please? I suspect the reference is to the Eternal stream of Words that proceed from His mouth that sustains all life - not the Book as an object.

    Whoops I meant the CLV not the YLT - I apologise for the confusion.

    The first temptation was to seek knowledge against God's advice.

    No I am often too busy. Seriously though I have waited 40 years to speak of what I have learned and CF has my testimony, I am privileged to help folks and pray for them as He leads. Tomorrow I am working at the University so prob's wont be here.

    I just checked Nestles Greek for Mark 3:29... the sin being spoken of is eternal in the Greek. But Hey - you have your journey and I have mine. Ultimately St Peter wont have a theology test at the gate. What I will say is that the quest of knowledge is the oldest trick that Satan uses to...

    Interesting is that you quote YLT... I understand that the author was excommunicated for Blasphemy !!! You might see this as a confirmation ??? :contemplate:

    I understand you don't want to explore the issue, can you just confirm what you believe. I am assuming you have concluded there is a place of punishment for the wicked but it is for a limited time and all who end up there will see the light so to speak and be eternally reconciled - Is this a...

    I was hoping to explore it a bit and better understand your position.

    Yes, I understand, I think the matter that would have attracted a lot of reports on posts was the claim that believers were holding a position that God was a tyrant. I opened the topic by quoting Isaiah and his encounter with God and the Word that followed concerning the destruction of...

    Do you see any Biblical support for a belief in Hell at all ?

    Syncretism - trying to merge the deities with Jehovah. Presenting a false Christ who is not a judge. Claiming that the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob is the god of Islam. Elevating a false prophetic voice as authentic and peddling the false teaching as if from God. Promoting 'New age'...

    Simply that The Holiness of God judging the wicked is a theme repeated over and over in the Bible. So there would be a lot of pages to snip out before one was justified in viewing only the Kindness of God without the Severity. Attributing malice to God is rather risky, recognising the Severity...

    Hi guys, I am very surprised that happened, I have enjoyed respectful dialogue with you Steve, and had no Idea you both got the chop fo the same reason. There are far more destructive theologies being tolerated I would have thought - I dont consider a theology salvific unless it indicates a...

    Consider Isaiah's response to encountering the Holiness of God... and the Lord's response.... The God of The Bible is not to be messed with unless you want to snip quite a lot of pages out first... I assume you have not had a first hand encounter, like Isaiah, with His Holy Presence that...

    Yes, I think the dialogue between Lot and the angels is most revealing in this regard - the Lord's compassion for the innocent when judgement is about to fall is immense. At the same time it is a serious matter to obey at such times otherwise as Lot's wife found out the consequences can be...

    It is a unique design and we have yet to get patents in place. It has no bearings to wear out and will be way less expensive than the ultrasonics that are currently the option of choice to replace cup and vane. Our Met service in NZ are replacing all cup and Vane's because the bearings fatigue...

    Romans 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
