appointed to die onmce means our physical death for judgement then follows and after that if apropriate is the punishment.

The thread is about God disciplining his people. I was commenting on not knowing how God disciplines those people who are not listening to God. I know too many people who will not listen to God even when in great pain.

Thank you. Christians come from all walks of life and frequently back slide. Most of us deliberatly commit sin. Yes we then need to repent of those sins. Ever heard of hypoberly, the greatly exagerated discription. Luther was a great one for big illistrations and it gives an idea of how far...

If an offical made a mistake, point it out to him and ask him to correct it. Turning the other check has nothing to do with mistakes or errors, but everything to do with deliberate exploitation. luke17:"If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them...

We no longer live in an age when church attendance and moral behaviour was administered by the church or by the state. All that produced was an outward show of respectability. How does God discipline his children? If they are listening through his word or through the message in church. For...

Please clarify for me. From what you've written it appears that you believe that Jesus's holiness and willingness to forgive is limited. That Christians if they full into sin will reach a point where they will nolonger find forgiveness. Is this what you believe?

What, Christians are those who have studied. You are seriously mistaken and are teaching falsehood. Christians, the chosen, elect, the predesdined etc are those who Jesus died and rose again for. There is No educational qualifcation to be saved. More unbiblical nonsence. As...

May I suggest that you avoid the topic of the trinity, it is a large red herring that gets one nowhere. The object of talking to any cult member is to show them the truth about Jesus and to sew doubts that God can use to bring them to faith. verses like 2Cor13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether...

"You ever wonder why Ananias and Sapphira were handled the way they were." The land the sold was theres to sell. The price they got was theres to do with as they wanted. But they could not lie to God and say they were donated 'All the money' they had got for that land. They could have said...

Yes God is merciful and just so the fault is your idea that God knowing is cruel.

Then your argument goes out the window. If God choose who will be saved it means he saves those who had not chosen themselves to be saved. Freewill what freewill does a slave have. A slave cannot free himself. It is God who chose us. It is God who saves us and it is God who enables us to...

Matt5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until...

A materialistic answer and one that ignores the very real suffering that Christians are expeiencing in the world. A more 'spiritual' answer would have pointed out Pauls comment about having learnt to be content in what ever state he found himself. A lesson we all need to learn, just as we...

yet eph 1says otherwise:- 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In loveL5 He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has...

There are many reason why people may have to play a part. What ever the reason telling those who have to 'be themselves' is as helpful as telling a schizophrenic to pull themselves together. What ever our mental or physic wounds we can find healing and wholeness only in Jesus.

How do you define sucess? How do you apply this teaching to the christians in the world who have lived in poverty their whole lives and have been murdered because they were Christian.

This is nonsense. There is no secret, special spiritual knowledge in the bible or in Christianity. We are to accept Jesus as our saviour and Lord and live in obedience to Jesus's commands. No secret there either. Grow up, be educated, get a job, get married and live for Jesus where yoiu are...

Not from that quote. All it says is that the spirit returns to God. Agreed but you havenot shown that the spirit that returns to God dies. Both Job and David expressed therebelieve that they would see God after there deaths. I would argue that Adams body was not created to die, that it...

As amadus has said, there is no difference between the non christian in all his forms, but there is a major difference between the Christian and the non christian. Namely Jesus. The pagan and the atheist does not worship or seek to follow Jesus.

The Love of God is overwheleming, but it is focused on Jesus. The new Christian is not left woldly searching but is able to home in on Jesus.
