    Mature Spiritual Christians No Longer Need the Written Word?

    I believe prism was saying there are some here on this forum who belittle God's written words by saying things like it is only for the immature or babes. But if the Apostle Paul is here on this forum as you suggest, I sure would like to speak to him, I have a couple of questions.

    You're the one making the claim that he's God's anointed, so you would know.

    Jack Van Impe Challenging Pope Francis to Debate!!

    Jesus never said anything about your God dishonoring and blasphemous hell of eternal torment, that's a man-made concept, the doctrine of demons and of men. This is what happens when those who cannot "rightly divide the word of God", are unable to distinguish between a literal statement and a...

    Death or Eternal torment, which? Part 3

    No one who has rightfully studied the subject can honestly consider the penalty of sin, (Death) as scripturally set forth and defined, too slight a punishment. When understood, it is seen to be neither too slight, nor too severe, but simply a just recompense of reward. "The gift of God," says...

    Death or Eternal torment, which? Part 2

    WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES? Let God's inspired writers be heard in opposition to heathenish church traditions, and let reason judge which is the sensible and Godlike view, and which the unreasonable and devilish. The prophets of the Old Testament do not mention a word about eternal torment, but...

    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 11

    Luke 16 (NKJV) Let us now interpret these last five verses as it they should be, parabolically or figuratively as they are presented by our Lord. VERSE 27 AND 28 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers that he may...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    NO... that's not what he was saying at all, you're just vainly trying to force your eternal torment theory into the narrative to give your false theory support, but its not working, at least not to any true thinking Christian. I think you need to follow Sister Charity's suggestion and do a...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    So now not only have you fallen for the false doctrine of eternal torment as the wages of sin, but likewise the false doctrine that the soul is immortal, two of the nominal church's primary errors. Now you believe that "worms" are immortal too, Nonsense!, wake up, the Lord was using a metaphor...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    In the same Chapter here where Paul speaks of knowing the fear of God, he couples it with the love of Christ in Verse 14, "For the love of Christ constrains us." For example, we see at times such an extreme love between two individuals on earth, that one person actually fears lest he hurt or...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    If you choose to go by the direct wording so be it, I myself prefer to go by the whole counsel of the word of God on the matter knowing that the scriptures do not contradict themselves, that God's plan is one complete harmonious whole. It is evident that you have a very narrow and incomplete...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Excuse me did I say it was a direct quote, do you see any quote marks. You have heard of "paraphrasing" haven't you? Here's what I said, "many will awake from the dust of the earth to great shame and age-lasting contempt" Here's the direct quote, “And many of those who sleep in the dust of...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    The word "fear" as used in these texts is not associated with, an emotional response, as in fear of danger, pain or judgment, the condition of being fearful or afraid, no it has to do with reverence, respect, veneration. “Reverence God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has...

    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 7

    Luke 16 (NKJV) Having now considered Verses 23-26 from a literal perspective we would now like to consider them as they were intended from a figurative or parabolic perspective. “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there...
