    Sabbath or no Sabbath?

    The Seventh Day has not an evening or a morning. It is a continual observance and rest in God. Giving God only a portion of the week is not what Christ did or taught. We give everyday to the Lord.

    The coming 4 Blood moons...what's it mean?

    I think the way you all think. I usually don't get carried up in these types of things, Jer 10:2 says don't freak out over signs in heaven as the heathens do. But I did notice that the last two times these moons fell 4 times in a row, all landing on Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles there...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    The calling of the Spirit and the Bride is calling now. It was also calling in the time of Noah, Moses, the Prophets, John, Jesus, and will continue throughout the ages. Peter and Paul tell Jesus, during the 3 days and nights before the resurrection, went to "the prison""heart of the earth" and...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    We are very much alike Wormwood, we just happen to disagree. Maybe we can start over and examine one verse at a time. I have, in the past, changed my views and am willing to do so now (if moved by the Spirit). Jesus holds the title of "Savior of the World". John the Baptist (greatest among...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    Harry, that means Jesus is only victorious IF we let him. "I can't go for that, no no, no can do. No I can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that, can't go for that..." - Darrel Hall and John Oats Do you honestly believe YOU found Jesus. And by YOUR awesome will power turned from...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    Did Jesus only have victory over the first death but not the second? Paul says the last enemy to be destroyed is death. How can the first death be the last enemy if there other death after that one? Christ is victorious over death (all death) and holds the keys to death and hell. What's the...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    Actually its the EBR, (there is a different bible REB) anyway....it translates anion as an age, and aionios as age-abiding. The only place you will find the word eternal is in Romans 1:20 speaking about God Himself, who is the only eternal being with eternal qualities. The EBR is not the only...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    Actually Williemac, "perish" like in Jn 3:16 is the same greek word as "lost" as in the parable of the lost sheep or the lost son. We find the same word when Jesus is sleeping in the boat and Peter says "Lord we are perishing". Question: did they? is the "lost (perished)" sheep forever lost? at...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    Willie Mac, I believe as Jerome did, "Gods enemies will perish, not that they cease to exist but cease to be enemies" God love will win all hearts.

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    Sin is deadly! Paul was accused of the same thing, "grace gives a liclicence to sin!" GOD FORBID! we are all unrighteous and ignorant (at least to some degree), the doctrine of "age accountability" is man made no where to be found in scripture. "All are condemned and going to hell unless they...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    "The age of eternity?" What? An age has both a beginning and an end, eternity has neither. There is no such thing as "entering the age of eternity". That is the silliest thing I've ever heard. Eternal torture was NOT THE MAINSTREAM in the early church until Augustine. The city/nation of Sodom...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    I didn't say it would invade OUR world, but it wouls exist, continue, and live on forever. Instead of God destroying evil, He preserves it forever? It is not biblical and contrasts the character of God and His promise to DESTROY evil, not make it eternal.

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    the doctrine of forever torment relies and insists that the human will be conscious forever. This would mean that in both cases, lost or saved, the fate is to live forever. One, living forever happy. The other, living forever miserable. Jesus, Paul, and all the prophets taught the end of the...

    The coming 4 Blood moons...what's it mean?

    I think it might be a sign for the coming of Antichrist and the rebuilding of the temple and temple worship along with a short time of peace and deception. But I'm not sure? Have any of you checked this celestial phenomena?

    The Garden or the Cross

    "The most valuable aspect of Gods character in the Bible is His prevailing faithfulness and never ending love" - aspen AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    Digging, you asked who are the spirit and the bride inviting to come in? The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come ; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. The answer is two verses back, that is the...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    I disagree.. Sodom is restored in Ez 16. Webster defines eternal as, without beginning without end. By definition only God can be eternal. So does forever and ever mean. Ages and ages or eternities and eternities? Jesus tells us to love our enemies and do good to them... he goes on to say, if...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    In that line of thinking I have heard the argument that because both punishment and life are described by the same adjective (aionios), they must be the same in duration. Since we live "forever" those wicked people must be tortured forever. this argument fails: a big mouse, a big man, and a big...

    Faith in Christ or Faith in our faith.

    Romans 9, It (salvation) is NOT to him who wants it or to him who runs after it, but its to him whom GOD wills it....does the potter not have power over the clay? I think you guys are getting confused by salvation, and reigning with Christ. Those blessed by the first resurrection and those who...

    1 Tim 4:10, A Special Salvation for Believers?

    Kólasis, on the other hand, conveys the notion of punishment for the correction and bettering of the offender. Bingo! That is the definition of the word. Thank you. The reason your commentary doesn't "think" it is in the case of Matt 25, is because they believe the word "aionios" (adjective for...
