Your first paragraph's answers are perfect. I can't correct them. God risked His all to send his Son. Had Jesus failed, it would have been the biggest universal tragedy and God the Father in effect would have locked himself out from ever having reconciled to mankind. And here's the mind...

If he went there on our behalf, then he'd still be there if the cost of finite sinning is eternal life in hell. Otherwise the price for sin would not be paid. But if the penalty for sin is death, he did that much for us. But not so much punishment (rather a propitiation) rather than Adam's race...

What if we were to say according to the bible that no man can come save the Father draws him? And what if we were to say at some point God would draw all men to him because he is not willing any should perish? So what does that say? It's not a question of free choice vs God's calling. Rather...

Geeeez. I wonder what these characters will do when the Jews will slaughter more animals on the Temple Mount one day? :D They will probably have a baby (but since they believe in abortion they won't have to take care of it)

Getting older is like alcohol. It brings out the true character of a person. As for the Holy Spirit, his influence is independent of age -- as a new creature in Christ it's like a parallel life in which the flesh must die to sin while it's fighting the Spirit. That's why the constant warring...

And on the other end of the spectrum, to the fearful salvation is so that Jesus can give us fire insurance.

All I have to say is that you have to get into the Word. Notice I capitalized Word because that's who Christ is, and the bible is the written expression, so in effect to dig into the bible is to fellowship with God. Praying (in the Spirit) is our communication to Him and the Bible is how He...

An overlooked point is that God placed the tree of life there, too in which Adam and Eve were free to eat. So, had they eaten from neither, they would die by scriptural implication. If they ate of the Tree of Life, they'd live being born of God's Spirit. Eat the tree of Knowledge of Good and...

There's nothing wrong with questioning the faith as it makes one's position to both believe and defend it all the stronger. However, whatever conclusion you come up with, then stay with it. If he did not raise, then understand he would not be the Son of God nor a great man. The Son of God and...

My story is I went from believing in pre-Trib to not believing it. The clincher for me was the prophetic feasts of the Lord. Jesus did everything by the feasts, e.g. Passover foreshadowed crucifixion, Pentecost the giving of the Spirit, etc. So the end time feasts depict a one-time event with...

Basically yes. Those who feel intimidated by the idea, stay home. But here's the strange part. If those who go suddenly become carriers and many in the congregation become sick (i.e. it passes an individual test such as a trial like Job had or to that effect), then maybe all should stay home...

It's a difficult judgement where the angels protect us from dashing our foot against a stone vs jumping over it and of a cliff expecting salvation. Psalm 91 is the psalm used now to prove God protects us. What I see in common though is the person is being protected against surrounding...

I agree, but imminent may be relative to God's timing. I can see things setting up nicely and just a year or two ago certain things were missing. Since then I see the possible formation of the King of the North and associated nations and I suspect soon the false prophet, and this COVID...

Not as a separate spiritual entity apart from the body, no. I'm aware about the spirit that goes back to God, is that which he gave. The spirit in man is a mind capable of interfacing (to put it in computer jargon) with God but is not God's Spirit. The spirit in man is his being, his essence...

Notice how reading the bible seems to sometimes challenge what has been taught. You read correctly. A person who dies awaits the resurrection. Both good and evil will be resurrected to either eternal life or to damnation. So that verse is correct. That's because a person who dies has no...

Can of worms or pandora's box? You just opened it here, but to everyone's credit, whether right, wrong, or partly right or wrong, at least we care enough to look into the end times, and for that I praise everyone here. My avatar there, Sir Isaac Newton, did not believe we fully understood...

You missed the whole point, friend. The Kingdom of God is already defined and as the Lord prayed "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven." So it's his government. He puts people in power to achieve this end. He does not ask if someone is like his kingdom, allow him in...

And then they self-righteously hold their heads up so high (using words like "justice" and "freedom") that they catch 747's in their nostrils. Sort of makes one sick when they act like they are the moral standards, doesn't it?

Seems like this isn't Democrat vs Republican, because even a lot of Republicans got soft around the middle. This seems to be about more NWO type thinking and one-worldism in which the Constitution is at odds with that doctrine. The Democrats (and soft Republicans) have been going that route for...
