If everybody shall be saved there would be no purpose for the lake of fire that is the second death. Why would some need to die twice if all shall be saved?

Aren't you forgetting the purpose for human lineages? Human lineages contain both those who shall be saved as well as the reprobate. If the wicked are destroyed before those coming from the same line who shall be saved, the Kingdom of God will not be complete. The lake of fire is called the...

The life we receive when we believe is called eternal for a reason. Just because our body is destined to die, does not mean that we die, because our spirit lives even though our body dies. Christ knowing that all of humanity is under the curse of death, and that we shall all one day physically...

Have you ever considered that we, who believe, have been saved through Christ's resurrection?

When you say "everyone goes to heaven" are you saying the spirit in every man returns to God in heaven who gave it? Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Since it is the spirit of everyone that goes to...

I don't disagree! My purpose with the thread is to seek to have better understanding of the spiritual Kingdom of God that Christ came with when He came to earth a man. We enter the Kingdom of God through His Spirit within when we are born again. I believe that's why Scripture says we are...

Thanks!

Yes, I believe these martyred souls are Old Covenant faithful saints. Notice in Rev 6 there is no name of Jesus mentioned, as we find of the martyred saints in Rev 20. They knew of the Messiah foretold in the law and prophets who was to come, but they were not acquainted with the name, Jesus...

How many times have you heard Christians say that salvation is a free gift that is only offered to fallen mankind? Don't know about you, but I've heard this from the first time I ever stepped into a Church. Is that really what Scripture tells us? I don't believe it is, even though I too once...

So many grasp hold and believe salvation is as this parody mocks! That's why it is important to show the Bible tells us to go unto all the earth proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to EVERYONE! That is to take the message of salvation to all the nations of the world. Through the message...

When there is life, there are souls. Every living breathing creature on earth is called a living soul until the flesh & bone body succumbs to death. Then the body becomes a corpse, and the spirit that gave the body life returns to God who gave it (Ecc 12:7). The death of the body of mankind...

Exactly! According to Scripture whosoever lives and believes in Christ make up the body of Christ, chosen from God from the foundation of the world.

The group, being the body of Christ cannot be the body of Christ without being specific individuals. We, the group that is the body of Christ is made up of individuals and members in particular. Romans 12:4 (KJV) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same...

What I believe the Scriptures tell us is that the message (Gospel) about Christ is freely OFFERED to ALL of humanity. Then through the Gospel proclaimed unto all people, the gift (salvation) of eternal life is GIVEN to whosoever believes through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this the...

To fully understand death, we have to remember that humans are complete living souls. Mankind consists of more than a body of flesh & bone. Man, being created a living soul is composed of both body of flesh and spirit (breath of life). When the human body dies, just as Christ's body died, our...

Amen!

I'm with you! It's become very bizarre!

Yes, that language is mentioned throughout the New Testament. Just because we don't find the explicit phrase "Gentile Christians" does not mean there is no mention of Gentiles being saved and called Christians. That's why it seems very bizarre to some of us as to why you are making this...

I don't know from where you arrive at your doctrine! Nothing is taken away or added to Scripture by using the phrase "Gentile Christians"! That is in fact what all who are of faith but are not Jews are called, even if that truth does not explicitly agree with you.

And that's a problem because???
