    The social gospel?

    Yes, I agree we can't appreciate how offensive sin is in Gods sight. We see our sins from a human perspective and they doesn't seem to be that bad. But if we compare ourselves to a perfectly righteous and Just God, then it's like comparing pitch black darkness to brilliant blinding light. I've...

    The social gospel?

    Regarding the "works being burned up", you rightly made the distinction between the temporal things of this world and the unseen eternal things of God. The counsel Jesus gives to the Laodiceans, to buy gold from God, can be understood as Jesus instructing them to trust in Gods pure gold and not...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Can you please confirm that you believe in the Triune Godhead, as described in the Bible to be the only One true God. I wanted to clarify that, because you said "Praise our God", which suggests we believe in the same God. I mention this because you were referring to God, in the plural earlier.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    With all due respect, the Bible warns me about such claims in no uncertain terms. Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. My only authority is thew completed canon of scripture which is God's...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    The Holy Spirit guides everything we think do and say, He leads us to pray for what God wants us to pray for and He gives us the words we need to bare a witness for God and He gives us strength to overcome temptation in our actions. So, we are possessed by the Holy Spirit of God. He is doing the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I just don't find anything in the Bible to suggest that other revelation would be given apart from that which was given to thew Apostle John, on the Isle of Patmos. Jesus warned His Disciples, several times to take heed because many false prophets would come after Him. He said they would...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    The only question I would like to ask, is how d you deal with thew scriptures which describe hell as a place of eternal torment with no escape. Below are just a few verses describing hell as being eternal. I can't accept your interpretation of other scriptures, if it contradicts what Jesus...

    The social gospel?

    I believe the whole Bible is about Jesus and what He did to save His people from hell. I have Jewish friends who believe they're under a special covenant to this day. But my understanding is that there are only two covenants. One was given to Adam (the works covenant) and the other was to...

    The social gospel?

    Yes that short verse is packed with theology, and a lot more can be applied to it that I did. I just wanted to make the point that, that we do good works because we are saved and not to be saved them. Good works can be anything good, including faith. But we are saved by Gods grace and not by any...

    The social gospel?

    The way I understand what Paul was saying in, 1 Cor 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved. Is that, all believers shall be saved as there is no mention of being cast out into the outer darkness or lake of fire. It says "his works shall be...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    God must have had a good reason for not revealing any more than He did in His last communication 2000 years ago, in the book of Revelation. God has been silent since then, and no new revelations have been given to mankind, so all we have to work with is the completed 2000 year old canon of...

    Hell : Then the Lake of Fire

    God told Adam that he would die on the day he ate of the forbidden tree. Since all of humanity came from Adam we all inherited "spiritual death" from him. So in that sense every man died once already, the second death is the permanent spiritual death. Those who die in their sin, never get...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    If your interpretation of the scriptures you cited to suggest that all of mankind will be saved in the end, are correct then that would have very serious implications for the authority of God's Word. There is nothing in the Bible to suggest that all mankind will be saved, to the contrary, Jesus...

    The social gospel?

    My understanding of James 2:18, is that both faith/belief and works are equally important. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. The writer of James is saying that faith is evidenced by good...
