    I’m Not Going To Hell; How About You? = John 14;6, John 14;10-14

    To all. All these speculations and none really know the whereabout of Paradise??? Common sense: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" First, we know that God's abode is somewhere up there called "heaven." Secondly, when a born again person dies as an adult or as an...

    I’m Not Going To Hell; How About You? = John 14;6, John 14;10-14

    There are those in Christendom that believe the words, paradise, sheol, hades, gehenna, katakaio, and tartaros are synonyms as that for eternal torment. Jesus could not have gone to such a place after He died, but to heaven, because at the cross He cried with a loud voice to the Father, "into...

    GOD’S Acceptance Is Not About You Or What You Must Do. It Has Always Been About What JESUS Has done For You = Matthew 26;1-2

    1. FALSE. Belief and faith are works Gospel, therefore contrary to Ephesians 2: 8-9. 2. Answer is John 3:19. 3. You must have in mind Acts 2: 37-39, which verse 39 reads: 39) For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God...

    GOD’S Acceptance Is Not About You Or What You Must Do. It Has Always Been About What JESUS Has done For You = Matthew 26;1-2

    I agree with @Miz KJV Only. God, in eternity past and before the foundation of the world, predestinated, named, elected and chosen those whom He wanted saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 reads: 8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9) Not of works...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    So what you are really saying is that there is not really one translation of the Scripture that can be trusted because of ambiguous verses? Question-- If God allowed the above to happen, is there a double meaning to the term, "The Lamb of God which take away the sin of the world?" To God Be...

    GOD’S Acceptance Is Not About You Or What You Must Do. It Has Always Been About What JESUS Has done For You = Matthew 26;1-2

    Yes indeed. Only for the born again who were alive then BEFORE the foundation of the woreld1 Indeed, the Spirit was poured out at Pentecost to signal the way that now God has begun to evangelize the world. Only to those who were named before the foundation of the world. Not quite. Only those...

    GOD’S Acceptance Is Not About You Or What You Must Do. It Has Always Been About What JESUS Has done For You = Matthew 26;1-2

    The problem is that the person behind the door is spiritually dead and therefore has no capacity, nor the power to open the door, because he is spiritually deaf and can't hear Jesus' knocking! Except for the 120 in the Upper Room, 500 in Galilee, and the 3,000 in Jerusalem at Pentecost, and...

    GOD’S Acceptance Is Not About You Or What You Must Do. It Has Always Been About What JESUS Has done For You = Matthew 26;1-2

    It seems the OP and those who made commentaries here are saying that the Scripture references they have quoted are what must happen to occur, instead of reading that these Scriptures are merely principles set forth by God, and never a methodology by which anyone can be saved. Scripture reads in...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    Really? I don't believe the KJV Bible had its' day in the sun as you termed it to be. WHY! Simple!!! Because Scripture has stipulated in Isaiah 55:8-11: 8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth...

    Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling

    Sorry, no one can imitate what our Lord Jesus had done for us. It is all His work alone! Consider the following Scriptures: John 10:14-18 reads: 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    This is exactly why we need concordances. Myself, like the Strong's and Young's concordances because they were written for the KJV Bible. As I told @Aunty Jane, all Bible translations are still what God had intended the contexts to be. Except for the words "thee and thou" and a handful of...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    God called it a tare and not a weed n the parables set forth in Matthew 13. If He calls it a "tare" why would anyone want to change it? I beg to differ. In ancient days, there were no punctuation marks, but Scripture does tell us there is one who will speak great words against the most High...

    Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling

    Yes! But I have a different interpretation of the quote, "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." This term seems to suggest that we can work out our salvation by doing good as the OP suggests, yet from all that we read in Scripture only God has the power to save as He declares...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    I think you need to learn that all translations and the different versions of the Bible....is still the word of God!!! Every letter and every word written therein are still what God had intended them to be, unless the printer is not faithful to God's word. I know because of Revelation 22:18-19...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    I don't have to research the accuracy of the Bible because I know, without a doubt, that God wrote it, (I was not there when He did) and God does everything perfectly. Jesus confirmed it in Matthew 5:18 and Luke 16:17. The reason I like the KJV of the Bible is because the printer warns the...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    Acts 17:28-29 stipulates: 28) For in him (JESUS) we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to thing that the GODHEAD is like unto gold, or silver, or stone...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    And I will ante one up to the above as Isaiah 42:8 reads: "I am the LORD (JEHOVAH): that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." Yet Jesus in His prayer to His FATHER made a staggering claim as He said, "And now, O FATHER, glorify thou me with...

    In regard to what Jesus said to Peter, it appears that the Apostle John's presumption is in error.

    I agree with you that @The Third One has a gift of "gab." He says many things without really saying any truths, and without any Scriptures to back up what he says (all opinions), for he speaks of this world's wisdom. He sounds to be lacking in the things of God and who better to tell him than a...
