You make a good point. However, consider that even the evil are gathered up to the eternal realm of God "some to everlasting life, some to everlasting contempt." Which could also be said simply as a matter only attainable within each of our own hearts. But any such thoughts, translations, or...

That indeed has been what has been believed. But translation can be argued until we all die as it has been since Christ came 2,000 years ago. So, whose to say? I am. Which I say knowing it goes against what most have believed for these past 2,000 years. Which, since you said it, I have...

Hello beloved, Perhaps it is being catered to in some places in America, but not all. But yes, as Christians, or just Americans, we should not tolerate such things being imposed upon us. But you have also described a very rigid practice of avoiding many things you should know as a follower of...

Yes, good! That difference however, does not mean there is a conflict, or that it is right that we define our beliefs on the one as opposed to the other. Both are correct. But we should know and understand that Paul was addressing his use of words to be correct for that present time, but also...

Yes, that is true, it was indeed "a vision of what Jesus will be like when he returns in his Kingdom and appears in glory." And more. It was a visual of what is otherwise unseen when Jesus returns--the reason He said it "does not come by observation." Which is because His return is "within you"...

Absolutely! I understand the dizzy part--and thanks for being so civil! I am not trying to prove anything, just connect the dots and explain it plainly, to reveal it, as these are the times foretold of being lead unto all truth. With all language being confused by God at the Tower of Babel we...

I am sure you could just look it all up. But this is for learning, and also for anyone looking on--so, sure, no problem--thanks for asking! The crux of what I stated is a reconciling of Joel chapter 3 (as defined in the original language), specifically the name "Jehoshaphat" given by God as...

There has been and is a great misunderstanding about Jesus' return, that is in need of correction. The title above is from Matthew 16:28, Jesus speaking, "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Now...

No, and you have missed my point. Yes, 'isms, etc. are not the topic here--and that is why I declared having none. As for 'isms" and the like, they are mere attachments to the teachings, studies, or following of men or God--mere man made titles, of men by men. Which is not at all what I was...

Yes, I actually addressed that...that something in us is our true identity (who we "are", not unlike God's ID is "I AM"). The good news is, it is possible for us to be born again of the spirit of God: "Many are called but few are chosen."

I have quoted the scriptures already. If I am to give you chapter and verse, which part are you calling "nonsense?"

Cheeky, but no, there is One exception.

Yes, I understand that. But as I touched on in post #8, our image of God includes His being "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Meaning, that our unfolding image "was, and is, and is to come" according to our will, just as He exists according to His will...which certainly qualifies to be...

Those are all a part, but the strongest is the "delusion" of foretold "false teachers" and their "destructive heresies" and the believing of a "lie." Under that mix--let alone fallen human nature--yes, all has been fading. Which does not mean God's word returns void, but that we the gentiles...

I hold to no 'ism. Freewill means that God has given us over to our own will. Just as He is "I AM", so shall we all also be what we are. That's it.

Welcome Al'!

I like it--you did a great job! There are a few things that should be clarified, however. First, it is true that "God spoke to the fathers by the prophets in many different ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son. That is not one more message added to the pile. It is the...

The rub on this issue exists because some see freewill occurring before the foundation of the world and the matter is then simply in the hands of God, while others see that freewill occurs during our time in the world..in the valley of decision as it were. But the valley of decision is given in...

Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live." Yes...both good and evil are there. Not just the "cursing" part, but literally "life...

Mark, if you are rightly dividing the word of truth, that is not the case. That would cause contradictions that simply are not there. Literary rules do not make void the biblical fact that the flesh returns to the dust and is dissolved with these elements of the earth.
