    If only you knew what you have been and are talking about BBJ!

    From the pen of Ellen White

    I thought that was what the Church said about the reformers. It's no doubt that those who had it in for Jesus said similar things. These things were said because they did not know the Father.

    Israel Attacks Iran!

    Of course they wouldn't understand. The question is, who is guided by the HS and who isn't?

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    AJ, you can rest assured, any judgement or sting you feel is not intended. I would suggest it is the result of an unwillingness and an insistence to not consider your views might need revising. If this is the case, there is nothing anyone can do, not even God, to alter those feelings. My...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Here's another explanation. We get angry when things don't suit us. We lie, we steal and we will kill when things get bad enough and we assume God approves of these things in certain circumstances. Examples might be, self defence, hunger, privation of liberty etc. What has been done is God has...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    You can be certain that when you argue you have no sin, you are none of his. 1 John 1:8-10 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves,* and the truth is not in us. If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. If...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    God's wrath is giving over folk to the consequences of their choices. (see Romans 1:18-32 for Paul's definition of God's wrath) God's wrath is not an arbitrary punishment as is supposed by many. When Jesus comes in the clouds there will be those eagerly waiting for their redemption and there...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    We are all life long sinners even when one is not aware of it. The operative principle is that when one draws closer to God one becomes more and more aware of ones sins and the further one is from God, ones awareness of ones own sin fades, one even considers oneself 'holy' or special or any of...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Yes, they fit. I'm persuaded that HOW one sees, and in particular HOW one sees the character of God which determines how the scripture is understood/ interpreted. If we use the OT to interpret the NT, one inevitably drags the NT through the sieve of 'Law', resulting in a whole lot of new...

    What if I don’t want eternal life?

    I guess the rules you've outlined here set you up to sit in judgement of all and sundry. As for me AJ, I'm just a sinner who has many shortcomings of which I am acutely aware. If it weren't for Gods grace and the assurance I get from knowing that Jesus loves me as does the Father, I'd be sunk...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    re Rev. 6 and your comment, it is in their eyes only that the Lamb has wrath. The Lamb comes in a rescue mission (the second coming) yet they see him as being wrathful when in fact he comes to rescue all who are eagerly waiting for him from an 'imploding' planet. The masses, from kings to...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Is Hell a place of torment? You betcha....in the presence of flames of love! 'They' tried to escape it by getting rid of Jesus but there's nowhere to run .....except calling for the rocks and mountains to fall on them. Rev.6:16

    Seems to me, the best you can do is parrot somebody else's words!
