    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    They will acknowledge Christ from Hellfire, but there is no eternal salvation for them. This is to the glory of God, not salvation Each one is in his own place, note under the earth, they abide in hell - death. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    That fire for believers is here 1 Cor 3 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds...

    John 5:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. No Final Judgement Day coming for believers in Christ. No danger of condemnation either. Only loss of rewards...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    People don't work there way out of hell, or hades. They remain there eternally after Christ was resurrected. Christ said He was the Door. You can not enter without Christ. The unbelieving are not his people, not his sheep of His pasture.

    But you said you don't believe in eternal condemnation, so I gave you a clear example.

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. The saved have no condemnation, they are spiritually alive to God and joined as one spirit with God. This is an unbreakable covenant. The...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    You do not believe in eternal condemnation? Christ tells us a lot about that. Here is one Mark 3:29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation” —

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    I think your mixing up the idea here of what it means to live according to the flesh... People who live according to the flesh are in the flesh only, they are spiritually dead. Pass the test to be saved? Well, those who live according to the Spirit walk according to the Spirit. You will see a...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    Actually I do believe in eternal security, but also believe God is continuing His work in us to conform us to the image of Christ. There is the old man of the flesh and the new man of the Spirit in every saved person. The old man of the flesh is dead as it says the body is dead because of sin...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    Yes that is absolutely true. The unsaved live according to the flesh only. They are dead in their sins, not spiritually alive. You did not think such people were saved do you?

    Paul also says, 2 Corinthians 13 4 For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    Of course. We are a spirit and a body comprising a soul. Romans 8 is talking about salvation of the spirit, not of the body. The characteristics of a spirit led Christian is they please God spiritually and God indwells them. Romans 8, the carnal minded person is not a saved person, they are not...

    God as heavenly parent - the dysfunctional view we inherited

    Theme in Romans 8 is all about salvation. You should not take it out of context like that, but I also wont post the entire chapter that anyone else can read if they wanted. v9 makes it clear, those in the flesh only are carnally minded which is enmity against God, those people are still...

    The scripture is the word of God through all time, including today the NT scriptures. It does not matter what scripture was as scripture always is the word of God recorded, written down.

    A pale horse anyone?

    The appearance of the throne of God is being described. They are like a conveyance for the throne, this is what it looked like to Ezekiel. God's heaven is ordered and everyone there has a duty, a job to do and a purpose, a reason for being, in their proper place. 26 And above the firmament over...

    A pale horse anyone?

    Also they are 'living creatures' Ezekiel 1:21 When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

    Believers will overcome all by their faith. Not a works salvation where you earn your entrance into Heaven. the Revelation 21 warning from God distinguishes the two groups accurately. This is why Paul warns that there are some people who will not be saved who are likely in the churches too as...
