Veteran, I have read it and I believe you are missing a very important point. These Priest lost their position because they were stealing the tithes and having sex in the Tabernacle. I don't mean to to be harsh, but that is a very heinous crime in the eyes of God. 1st Sam. 2:22 says, 22 Now...

You do understand what you are saying? These are priest and God will have mercy on them... people that studied the scriptures daily and knew better. The judgment for their crime will be servants in the house of God. Yet, the poor sinners that didn't know anything about God, whether they...

So let me get this right... these beatings must be before God annihilates or torments them. Does it really matter... being they will all be tormented or annihilated anyway... or is that going to be their judgment. I know what I did to my son when he was disobedient, and I did it because I...

As I said before, they will be ex-workers of iniquity, because at the Great White Throne... they will bow and confess that Jesus is Lord. That sounds like a change of heart to me... what about you? Veteran... Did the 1st Adam bring the whole creation down? I know your answer... so my second...

Veteran... you say the Jews and Israel will have a second opportunity to accept Jesus Christ... and I believe that too. So God is a respecter of persons according to your theology... He will give the reprobate Jews and reprobate Israelites an opportunity and they will accept Him, but them...

Veteran... All creation is waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God. Wonder why? Because that is the time of the restoration of all things that the prophets wrote about. Acts 3:21 says, 21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by...

Veteran... did God establish the Lake of Fire? I think your answer is yes. God wasn't caught by surprise, He knew before anything was ever created that man would fail to be obedient. So He had a plan from the beginning. If God established a second death (Lake of Fire), it stands to reason that...

Veteran, the Lake of Fire will be another age that we will live in. It's not a torture pit or a place where people live in torment for eternity, but it is an age where the ones that didn't apply the blood of Jesus to their sins, they will have to pay for them sins in the Lake of Fire...

Yes... many will be cast into the Lake of Fire and yes, they will all come out again. What is the Lake of Fire? Let's ask John what it is in Rev. 20:14. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found...

As Dr. Steven Jones says about people not understanding the Law, they tend to judge others wrongly and out of their own desires. He continues on that same thought. "Humility is the root of all grace," said A.W. Tozer some decades ago. James tells us that if someone has humility, he will not...

After instructing us to put off "all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness" in James 1:21, the Bishop of Jerusalem then gives us the basis of the rest of his teaching on biblical law. 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23 For if...

Very good post Rach... Sanctification means everyday we have to make a decision as to whether we want to be obedient to God, or do we want to do it our way. If we do it our way we will not be obedient to God, but we will become rebellious and begin to justify our actions. Do we lose our...

Whenever we say that Christians ought to be lawful, there are always some who think this means we must be legalistic. The scribes and Pharisees were legalistic, and we do not advocate being like them. In their scrupulousness to follow the law, they actually broke it. Many examples are given...

Yes it would... but God is so simple, but yet He is also sophisticated, and He thinks of everything at the same time. He's just God. The law mandates that divorce must take place before it is lawful to send away one's wife. In other words, it is unlawful to send her away without divorce...

Rev. 1:8 says, 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is (the Almighty) and who was (the Almighty) and who is to come, the Almighty." The Almighty God enrobed Himself in flesh for a short period of time, to die for the sins of the world. In essence, He lowered himself and...

What is Gehenna? James 3:6 says that the tongue is a fire which can set the whole body on fire by "hell" (gehenna). How was this concept revealed to James? This is undoubtedly a reference to Jesus' words in Matthew 5:29 and 30, where He says, "it is better for one of the body parts of your...

The prophet Nathan was sent to confront David with his sin in 2 Sam. 12. Nathan told David that a certain rich man in his kingdom had had some unexpected company come to visit him. So he took a poor man's only lamb and butchered it to feed his guest, instead of taking one of his own lambs...

James 2, Jesus' earthly brother gives us a short study of the law. 8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law...

God is a divorcee, and Israel is His ex-wife (Jer. 3:8).

I must agree that this is a very difficult subject and most Christians don't understand justification and sanctification. Although justification is pretty simple, santification has separated many believers in the past and also the present. James 2:14 says, 14 What use is it, my brethren, if a...
