Smetimes we cannot understand what the true mesage of the Scriptures are until we hear the correct explanation from somebody else, and then suddenly it becomes clear (as the Holy Spirit helps us to understand it, once we have heard the truthful explanation). That is why sharing what we believe...

Of course I forgive you. :gd. We're all imperfect (yep, me too!). I was just trying to share what I believe to be the true meaning of the Scriptures (agreeing with some of what you wrote and disagreeing with some things). Isn't that the point of this forum, to help each other understand God's...

You explicitly asked me a question (see post #62), so I was trying to answer your question. What are you going to report me for? o_O Again, you asked me a question - it would be rude of me not to answer!

You posted a question, I was trying to answer your question. You're welcome.

A thousand years has been set aside for perfecting everyone. It is the easy way, not the narrow way that Christians have to take now. Isaiah 11:1-10 (WEB): (1) A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit. {Jesus} (2) Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on...

It does not say Kingdom, it says city. Revelation 22:14-15 (WEB): (14) Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. (15) Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the...

Not really. Those that believe and have faith in God and Jesus now, who have been called by God to receive the amazing blessing of becoming adopted sons of God (in the first resurrection), they are judged worthy of eternal life and gain immortality in the first resurrection. John 1:12-13...

I understand what you have written, but I believe you are incorrect! I'm not twisting the Scriptures, I've quoted them in full - please explain why you think my understanding of them is incorrect, and/or why you ignore them. This is a Bible Study discussion forum. It has been created so that...

So why don't you believe the Scriptures, as written by Paul who had direct commmunication from Jesus concerning his coming return to collect the church? Speaking to that first generation of Christians, who, while expecting Jesus to return soon for the church, were grieving because some of their...

Everyone is saved from death as a result of Jesus' sacrifice of his life on the cross, but not everyone is saved from the second death. God's plan is to give everyone the opportunity to have eternal life, but it's not His plan that everyone should come to have faith in Jesus now. Since Jesus'...

Jesus said, John 14:2-3 (WEB): (2) In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. (3) If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. or ESV...

The end of the acceptable time for sacrifice, the end of the preaching of the Gospel, will be when Jesus returns for his Church/bride: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (WEB): (15) For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no...

Nobody is righteous, and nobody by themselves seeks God through Jesus. Our faith is a work of God in us. Romans 3:10-12 (WEB): (10) As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one. (11) There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. (12) They have all turned...

Yes, that's sort of how I see it too. Jesus' sacrifice has paid the redemption price for everyone, so everyone's sins will be forgiven and God is justified in resurrecting everyone to life again. To gain eternal life we must believe in Jesus and accept his sacrifice. Christians believe in...

I 100% disagree with that statement. Jesus is not his own father and son. Jesus did not resurrect himself, "But God raised him from the dead" (Acts 13:30). No.

Yawn. Everything should be about giving glory to God, not Jesus - Jesus' name is not above God's. Romans 15:5-7 (WEB): (5) Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, (6) that with one accord you may with one...

These verses are about God and His Son Jesus. You shouldn't be trying to turn this into a discussion about the Trinity. The forum rules say: This topic {Trinity} may not be initiated, discussed or debated at Christianity Board, whether it be for or against the Trinitarian view. effective...

There is nothing stopping you from comparing different translations, and I would encourage you to do so. But sure, if you're too lazy to do that then I can choose another translation or two for you. Here you go: 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 (ESV): (27) For “God has put all things in subjection...

Jesus' name (Yeshua) is not above our heavenly Father's name (Yahavah). 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 (WEB): (27) For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. (28) When...

And yet at Pentecost Peter preached quoting Joel, Acts 2 (WEB): (16) But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel: (17) ‘It will be in the last days, says God, ... (21) It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ and Joel says, Joel 2:32 (WEB)...
