    A Meditation On Hell

    What kind of "justice" is it, to torture someone for eternity after they have been tortured all their life? You know not the meaning of Justice. What kind of sick doctrine teaches that 6,000,000 Jews who were tortured by Hitler, will for all eternity, wish they were still being tortured by...

    A Meditation On Hell

    Slow to anger, not abundant in anger. Abundant in loving-kindness! Eternal torture would qualify as abundant in anger, but as the psalmist said, "Gods anger is but a moment, His mercy abideth forever"...His anger does not abide forever! His Grace and Mercy Does!!!! Praise YAH

    A Meditation On Hell

    Anyone who believes God tortures people that person does not know God. Their god is ink on paper and they have not the Holy Spirit teaching them, but the doctrines of men. The same spirit lives in them as did the disciples in Luke 9:54-55. The god of the church makes Hitler look like a saint...

    Context! Context! Context!

    I feel sorry for any christian who is reading/studying their bible and the Holy Spirit speaks truth to them through a passage but they ignore it because it was "not within the context of the story". The Holy Spirit is our teacher, NOT the context.

    What is a Christian!

    John 6:37, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 16:15, All that the Father has are Mine... John 17:2, All that the Father has given Me I will give eternal life... John 17:10, All Mine are Thine and all Thine are Mine... So...

    the year of the rapture

    People will always try to guess when "God is coming"....He already came! Will He come again? Yes, but at a time when "no one will be looking". Jesus ain't coming back for a long time, but act like He is. Tribulation will come and believers will be at war throughout it. "Let no man deceive you...

    Context! Context! Context!

    If understanding scripture is simply "keeping it in context", then why did Jesus have to "open the eyes" of the disciples in order for them to understand? Peter, in Acts 1:20, takes scripture way out of context! He takes half of two different psalms and paste them together as one. If He kept...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    ok...after dinner I will take on your 2 Cor 4:18 passage.... oh, and BTW, I study my Bible hours upon hours everyday and believe every word it says. The trouble is, any thing you want it to say, it can. Which is why slavery and such was defended for so long, because no where does it condemn it...

    A Meditation On Hell

    Elizabeth, you said, " The soul is immortal and the body will rise again to be joined with the soul forever either in Heaven or Hell." This mean everyone has "eternal" life, Some alive forever in pain while other alive forever in paradise. Either way, both have life everlasting. This is not...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Mad, you said, "even consult some reliable commentaries to see if your suspicions are justified". Dude, Thats the problem! Everyone depends on the "scribes and pharasees" and their "reliable commentaries", instead of relying on the Holy Spirit. He is WAY more reliable than these learned scholars...

    A Meditation On Hell

    Love a God who promises to torture me if I don't? Would that really be love, or just fear of being tortured? I love God because He promises to put an end to the separation and pain, not continue it forever? If sin and hatred towards God exist and remains now and always, then I serve a weak God...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    No body is running away, I'm just tired of running in circles. If you can't see what I'm saying then there is no point. I do think you are trying to prove me wrong, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE that Gods love and mercy will reach everyone. Like most of the church, you want to believe that God will...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    OK, one last question (then I give up, because no matter what I show you, you don't see it, and you won't UNTIL God wants you to) Punishment is Eternal/Everlasting. Right? Then please explain Daniel 12:2 (Jesus quotes this in Matt 25:46), "olam punishment", how is it that Daniel's "olam"...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    Mad, I think christians in general confuse salvation with "sitting at the masters table" or "reigning with Christ". Will everyone reign with Christ? NO! Only those who "in this life/age" was beheaded (Rev 20:4), (that is, removed their own head and put on Christ as their head). Those who are...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    ​Mad, you said "Do you believe in these ETERNAL promises? it doesnt sound like it but yet you believe that His eternal promise applies to all people no matter what they believe or who they worship and thats dangerous." Come on man, you know I've never said any such thing. Ofcoarse I believe...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    I will get to verse 17+18 later....thanks for being so patient with me. I'm so friggin busy! I think you nailed it when you said "conclusion". Full circle. Done. Finished. Fulfilled. Completed. Satisfied. Oneness. How does Isaiah 43:10, show we are last and Jesus is last too? Did you watch...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    You only speak of half of the definition of eternal. You refuse to admit that in order to be eternal one did not have a beginning. Eternal does not only mean, without end. It also means without beginning. If you had a beginning, then you cannot be eternal. Please answer this question: Jesus...

    Age-during vs Eternal

    The first thing I notice in vs 16 is a "renewing of the inner man DAY BY DAY" Day by day, our inner man is age-abiding it goes beyond. What you're not understanding is that something temporal does not "endure the age" it doesn't fulfill the time or age in which it is in. Some thing that is...
