    Not ALL the physically dead are raised at the same time, the dead in Christ rise FIRST.

    I find this interesting that you bring this up. Note also, that the dead who are in Christ, are also the "first to humble themselves". In other words, their character is exemplary.

    Can God not save souls, before, during and after the Tribulation?

    I just want to add something else I learned: the earlier you are raptured, the greater your rapture. The point is, don't wait!

    Should you let others decide what your interpretation of what God wants, should be?

    I thought about it, and I decided that you should answer this question!

    Have an addiction to McDonald's? You are like me!

    It's the most incredible thing, I realised that my struggling with McDonald's was actually a struggle with God, about how to perfect my appetite. God was trying to get me to perfect my appetite, but I was tempted to waste that perfection (rather than grow in it). Incredible!

    Faith healings don't happen anymore; can you prove otherwise? (Either the age has passed or it has not)

    In response to the OP, I think you are trying to put limits on something that is not yours to limit (it's the Lord's). I have seen healing.

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    Exactly, all I did was define myself differently. I left everything else the same (church attendance, creed) just to see what the difference was. God does lead you to specific scriptures, if you let Him (maybe everything God does is different - even among denominations?)

    Where was Jesus between his death and resurrection?

    Jesus said "the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the Earth" (gospels, from memory)

    Justified by Works

    If that was your point, I'm sorry but I missed it. What you are saying here is that whether the glass is half full or half empty is (EDIT) everything to do with the glass. It (how we live) does not affect our justification outside the law. But no one desires to remain outside the Law. Hence...

    Justified by Works

    Yes, but that's the "reason" (we do it for God), not the "rule" (the rule is we desire what we see in Christ). The more you say "they are Grace", the more your tradition suffocates the believer's desire to be great (as they see in Christ). They are for Grace, and we praise God with Grace, but...

    Matthew 24:22, 'Unless those days were shortened......" What does this mean to you?

    "Whoever sins, is a slave to sin" in other words, the more the world fulfils its own lusts, the more bound they become to their sin. This is tolerable, to an extent, but the closer it gets to Hell the more unbearable it becomes. This scripture is saying "God understands that slavery to sin will...

    Justified by Works

    Yes, I understand that how ever "Great" our works may be, they must reflect the righteousness of God. That is a fair point.

    Justified by Works

    I feel like we are pulling in different directions. I looked at the OP again, and all I see is establishing grace (a very good account, but still focused on grace). Grace establishes the Spirit of Truth, but once the Spirit of Truth has been established, the heart turns to establishing faith in...

    I was faced with returning to the world, or going and serving Jesus and I returned to the world (lost?)

    It has dawned on me that perhaps I was not ready to step into the world. Jesus said a couple of times "My time has not yet come". Maybe I should be waiting for my time to 'come'? It would be worth praying for, that's true!

    For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death

    The Law binds that by which the Law may be fulfilled, that's the Law (selah).

    Justified by Works

    Yes, and I am saying "confident believers have a thirst for works", so it is not that its being misunderstood, but that everyone understands it differently (with the exception of the one who doubts the greater)

    Even at the end: Churches gonna be hot, churches gonna be cold - some will predict it, some not?

    Interestingly enough, Churches in Heaven will be hot or cold too (from now to eternity)

    Ultimately, it's not a matter of who is right and who is wrong... (?)

    I became a division of Christianity for my own sake. My observation is that it did not make that much of a difference - I already knew what was asked of a Christian and that didn't change! Now if I talk with someone who is a 'Christian of a certain kind' I guess I will have greater empathy, but...

    Justified by Works

    Just a side-note: there is a possibility of being justified by works, but not before God. I'm not sure if you - GracePeace - agree with that?

    God Working With AI...

    I keep thinking about God and AI; for some reason this suggestion (of AI fixing things) has really got me curious. My take on AI is that it is "human-like processing, without a soul" - something that depresses me when I look at things AI has created. What I am really worried about, is that...

    I abandoned my faith

    I'm annoyed by this - and I'm not sure why. In response to the OP, Jesus said "do you believe that I am able to do this?"/"What do you want me to do for you?"/"don't tell any one what I have done" - He would not have said these things, if who He was was not important and believing in who He was...
