Saving a child, due to future condemnation, would provoke the child to wrath - we are told not to do that (letters, from memory). You sound like you want an intellectual way to understand Salvation - I'm not saying you're wrong, but the Bible does say God makes the wisdom of Man look foolish.

Silence, trumps word (selah)

The fact is people are reading into Revelation all kinds of things, when the book of Revelation is not meant as a reference, its meant as an explication of Biblical terms - the principalities and powers that determine the end. When Jesus calls out 'tares', He does not say "You sir, are the...

Love in the Law, justifies exceedingly much (selah)

That's not fair! God gives me His Gospel, because He loves me. No believer is above what God can give. What does the Bible say "Let every man be a liar, but God be true" Maybe you don't mean to, but you are implying that my doctrine on its own is not justified - yet I have works (prayer...

I heed the warning that is in Revelation, when a person says to John "see that you do not do that!" (referring to his bowing down to him). At times I entertain worshipping other gods, but only to establish that I get nothing out of it - that's where I stand regarding appealing to others what is...

What you said sounds reasonable, until you realise there is a more faithful context in which the widows prayers could be working. The widow could pray for joy between both her husband and herself in Heaven, to the Glory of God. Yet because you have suggested she pray to her husband, this did...

It's not necessary to keep repenting, if your witness is bold. Confession is supposed to serve the soul, the soul is supposed to declare the Will of God. You don't need to make it complicated.

It isn't wrong to pray to whoever, as long as you don't place on them a burden they can't answer better than God. That's what the relationship to God in prayer is, primarily: a relationship of humility, for which there is no better in God. You may say "I like lesser answers to prayer", but in...

Again, you don't need to keep repenting, if your witness is bold. God builds people of 'courage', out of people that keep their meekness ("blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth"). It's not about greater and greater perfection, and greater and greater repentance, that's the...

Where does it say "read into the meaning of these words, further"? You are right to bring up tares, that's exactly what guesses about who is anti-Christ and who is Babylon are? Did Jesus condemn anyone individually? No He did not?

What about this? There's a way to learn from every species, what they've learned from God (selah) Learning from God, is a great way to limit sin (selah) As we pray nature be empowered, the more it will conform to God's will (selah)

The problem is: if you read Revelation and identify people as singled out by the scripture it gives, you are adding to Revelation. Revelation says not to do that! If you want to add to scripture, go and read nursery rhymes! You don't need to make Revelation in your image!

The point is making claims that this or that person or place is such and such an evil, is the Devil's work. How would you like it if I said "Your parents are Babylon"? Well! It is the same thing? I suppose my mistake was thinking the Devil could be reasoned with!

The Buddhist tradition is that Buddha came to his mother as an elephant, in her dream. For what it's worth there is someone who has seen someone who used to be a dinosaur become a man. Also there is someone who has seen someone who was like an angel (as indeed all children, in part, are).

If you will not pray, because you do not think now is the time, when do you think the time will be and what will you pray when it is time?

What if I say "Adam is Babylon the Great" ...what difference does it make?

It shouldn't come as a surprise that people want to obey the Law, that's the Law (selah)

The Word of God is written in Heaven. When people think they can change what is written, God just laughs - you can no more change scripture, than you can rearrange the stars. So to the question, would you give up "the stars" for doctrinal unity: you are misreading the calling of every brother...

Correction: the anti-Christ was a Muslim. The anti-Christ continues to have a Muslim spirit.
