Rella, the problem is what do you do with the 100 different bible translations which don't have the word HELL in them ONE TIME? Below is a chart taken from the URL. It only list 28 that don't even have the word in them. If you really want to know the truth, you are going to have to study...

That's because a lot of people sitting in a church who got saved by EMOTION from a fire breathing EVANGELIST who scared the HELL into them to say an UNBIBLICAL prayer "with every eye closed" cause they didn't have the 'REPENTANT heart before God' to even walk to the alter without being...

are we all supposed to GUESS who you are "inspecting" with your comment? o_O Or should I just think me, because you posted 5 minutes after my post? ;)

It is sad that a poorly translated OT verse still stands as a litmus for the NT believers. MAT 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil...

I thiink the definition of a 'cult' is different. I think it is when all the 'congregation' looks to the ONE who is pastor over them all. And the ALL think the pastor hears God for them ALL. Just like when cult leader JIM JONES told his 918 sheep to drink the Kool Aid and die.

I don't know Steven, that sounds a bit too unbiblical IMO. Babes in Christ need the milk of the word of TRUTH IMO. Just getting indoctrinated into "the ways of church and faith"???? Unpack just what you mean by 'that'. "the ways" of the church I just left 6 months ago are BAD. And the...

I also have a copy of the CLT. It does a good job of cleaning up a lot of the twisting of the modern translations. It's claim to fame is that it consistently used the same English word for the same Greek word. Not like I pointed out how the KJV disagreed with all the modern translations and...

:watching and waiting: I hope you didn't finish your popcorn before I posted. :p Question, as to your signature line? How would you prove it....should I ask....for proof? :hmhehm

Dear brother, I absolutely would love to explore the issue. But it is not something I want to come between us if there is no change of mind on your part. I wish everyone knew WHY I believe. But most come to the table with one or two spirits. One is a religious spirit, and the other is an...

Thank you Aunty, for your support. :Happy:....and your brevity. :hmhehm Brevity which does have things, WE STILL DISAGREE on too. But I cool with that...:cool:

I obviously did attract a lot of ugly responses...WE always do. But in your heart of hearts...don't you agree that Hitler was a tyrant? In my heart of hearts, my God isn't the God of orthodoxy. And my view of God isn't a tyrant. He isn't doing something that's worse than Hitler in our...

Like we've shared before, that single word HELL is translated from 3 different Greek words. Do I believe in "gehenna/HELL". It was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem. And 'today' 2,000 years later....it's a housing subdivision in a much bigger Jerusalem. Do I believe in "hades/HELL"? Which...

Can you give an example specifically? I mean like a particular denomination or organization you consider a cult? I'm still vague in your application of that definition. Again, I'm not sure who would fall under that category, in your opinion. Since Abraham, Issac and Jacob, never knew God by...

Unpack that a bit. What do you think falls under the "false God" category? I agree with Steven and many others I've heard over the years. Father hurts and church hurts are the two biggest things I've heard in my 50 years. I was at a conference in Denver one time when the speaker asked how...

Did you not know 'Ultimate Reonciliation' of ALL, was how Steven and I both believed. If not, then now you know why Steven and I got the 'left foot' of dis-fellowship at the old CF. :hmhehm This doctrine of the Plan of God for the ages, is indeed a hard one for most to come to a true...

I think that the 'one verse' that says "(if we endure to the end)" is referring to those at the beginning of the chapter. MAT 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the...

I've heard that Jeremiah verse for years being used just like you did. JER 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? My problem with that was this; what do you do with this verse in the NT? MAT 12:34-35 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being...

Things get interesting when we're talking about 'the human BEING' as well as 'the human DOING'. And what you just described reminds me of the three levels of the soul. When studying to be a doctor....YES CHIROPRACTORS are doctors; :p We learned that the body really has 3 brains. The cephalic...

For years I have said; "Even Fundamentalists speak in tongues." I started saying that right after coming to my first ever CHRISTIAN FORUM. I'd never heard the words like Eisegesis, Exegesis, Mariology, Hermeneutics, Soteriology.....etc. etc. The 'topical' forum menu was just like the...

I thought I said something 'to that effect' in my first post to you. You had barely got here and had THREADS galore. That's why I questioned whether you had been on a forum before. Take a break then....OLD MAN.... :Oh no: But don't check out on us. You are an interesting read and that...
