    Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?

    EPH 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Unless you are PERFECT and sin not. Then YOU are a son of disobedience when you sin. If Jesus says "do not sin" and you do sin, then you just said NO...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Your posts present so many questions to be answered; People won't read that much and it takes me too long to type all this. "life to life" is also "deep calling to deep".....or spirit to spirit....IMO. :Hnds It fits into my thoughts, under my category of 'verbalize the unwritten truth of...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    I'll give you a taste of where Carl is coming from, concerning a few of us. CRAZIMATICS If you are referring to a RHEMA "Word" spoken from the "True Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ"... I couldn't agree more. :woohoo!: But if that "Word" you reference above, is talking about 'the bible', then I have...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    The "tone" as you put , is key in discerning when "you do not know what spirit you are of" comes in to play. And you are playing :hmhehm well, brother Carl. I still remember the days of LIVING in the Jesus movement. We....me anyway, had heard a 'saying' back then that still resonates as...

    I'm going to say, in OUR bibles, I bet WE BOTH have a lot of highlights in Paul's prison epistles. :shine:

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I believe in the 'Gr RHEMA "word" that was written into my heart by the holy spirit of Christ in me. I am a living epistle. 2Co 3:1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? :2 You yourselves are our letter of...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Paul refused to obey two prophetic words warning him to not go to Jerusalem for a 3rd time. I believe he was supposed to go to Rome as a free man preaching the gospel as he had been doing. But this time he forsook the grace of God which he himself warned the Galatians about . Telling them NOT...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    Matt 22:14 For  many  are  called, G2822  but  few  are chosen. G1588 G2822 κλητός klētos klay-tos' From the same as G2821; invited, that is, appointed, or (specifically) a saint: - called. G1588 ἐκλεκτός eklektos ek-lek-tos' From G1586; select; by implication favorite: - chosen...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    Luk 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a FRIEND of publicans and sinners! Mat 26:50 (KJV) And Jesus said unto him, FRIEND, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. Is there a difference...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    And I totally agree. But we weren't talking about "BEING" a Christian at first. We were talking about first "BECOMING" a Christian. And that's where we disagreed. And this simply may not be the forum for you because of your struggle with the language. A struggle I acknowledged you have and...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    JOH 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. There is no "the end"...to the price Jesus paid for the sins of ALL "past and present and future ones," He paid it ALL...for ALL....FOREVER. But any sin you commit now...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    Like my signature lines says "I was a lost and the shepherd FOUND ME." That is the only ONE CHANCE anyone has to get saved. And I have thanked God for His "CALLING" me. A "calling" which I received after His "PREDESTINING" me to His "DRAWING". JOH 6:44 No man can come to me, except the...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    I see what you're saying Carl....but feel there is still misunderstanding as to this last sentence above. I don't know of a scripture anywhere that says The Holy Spirit (of the trinity) indwelled Jesus from conception. The Holy Spirit of God is the source that all the supernatural power of God...

    Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul (nephesh) delighteth; I have put my spirit (ruwach ) upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul...

    MAT 26:37 ....He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. (soulish emotions and attributes) MAT 26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. His soul never 'died', but it was tempted with death by his FLESH in the Garden. He prayed twice and His soul...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    Jesus wasn't instrumental in creation, only the WORD was. And the WORD was not visible because the FATHER, WORD, HOLY SPIRIT were all three invisible SPIRIT. JOH 4:24 God is spirit, LUK 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh...

    I have.....starting about the time you were born, and for 10 years thereafter. :innocent: . And yet Christians have been DEAD and PERISHING in their graves for 2 millenium???? What does "GOD DESIRE" and what is His ultimate "WILLING"? 2PE 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise...

    IMO Jesus wasn’t praying he was personally forgiving the ‘temporal punishment’ of the sin of those crucifying him. He was not forgiving he ‘eternal consequence’. The same was true for Stephen when he was stoned to death. The same was true for those repenting and being baptized by John. ETERNAL...

    You just said we were off topic, so I just went back to your OP and quoted the first line. :hmhehm In my opinion 2,000 year old "Judaism as a religion"... WAS, and still is, " anti-Christ". MAT 27:25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 26 Then he released...

    Many temples MAY be built before the end, I don't know. I personally don't believe that a temple from some Kabbalah Jewish sect (from the 13th century) OR any other type of "Interfaith" temple would be a temple that modern Jews would 'mingle' with. I believe that the temple they are hoping to...
