when a comment is not directly addressed in the Scriptures, you go to other texts to draw principles and precepts from the wealth of wisdom in the Bible. For example, one passages that bears on this issue is 1 Tim 2.4. Here, we are told about God's nature, it says, "I want all people to be saved...

I said nothing to contradict this comment of yours. We were not talking about how many died, but how many were saved. And, I dare you to prove me wrong.

I would say that most of the people in Noah's day were saved. Your numbers are sheer speculation and void of truth. Your numbers have no foundation. Now, Luke 17 is not about salvation. A quick reread of that section and you will not find anything referenced to salvation. I can see that you...

It's not that I am dismissing you, but I have a respect for the text of scripture that has to come first. In Hebrews 1 you will see that God used to speak to the fathers of old through visions and dreams. But in these last days (the Apostolic and Church ages) God no longer speaks to us. That is...

Harold said: All people will become believers in Christ and gain permanent life. Why is this not true for unbelieving angels? Isn't that a form of species-ism?

This verse does not appear in the oldest and best manuscripts. Based on syntax, grammar, and vocabulary this section of Mark was definitely authored by someone other than Mark.

I say that, for one. If you read Rom 1, you will see that non Christians are made aware, largely via being in the image of God, that God exists, and we are accountable to him. This divine intuition also convinces unbelievers that they are without excuse. So, all people know God, and that they...

No, hell is for eternity. I have never spoken on this topic. I was just letting babes in Christ know that you have not learned anything from Jesus. My posts are to show that your position is ludicrous

what Jesus told me was something not to be repeated. We went over about 130 doctrines giving me alone the interpretation of these doctrines. Some Christians got some right, but most of the time Christian got it wrong. The only thing he allows me to say is that he wants me to write a book on the...

Good question, How do you know it was not Satan communicating to you? As for me, Jesus brought me to heaven in all its splendor and glory. I heard things I can not speak to anyone about. Besides, everything Jesus revealed to me while in heaven was confirmed in the Bible.

Jesus appeared to me and told me I was correct.

that is a scholarly response!! (NOT)

You did address my post. Do that, and I will show you why Mt 7 is not for unbelievers.

There is always one in every crowd who lacks basic training in the Word, but speaks dogmatically. Let me quote you some verses that may help you see the light. I selected a variety of Translations... 2 Peter 2.1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false...

This is a very poor theological writing. The nation of Israel and the Church are two distinct peoples, and will always be. The nation of Israel is made up of those descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. During this Church Dispensation, ethnic Jews can become part of the Church but are no...

Just to be biblically accurate, all humans have been redeemed based on Christ's work on the Cross. Redeem means to buy someone/something out of a market or from humanity. Christ paid the price for all, but redemption is not salvation. Redemption only makes salvation possible. Salvation has...

Sure. Do you have any questions? I realize that your question is outside of the topic at hand, but maybe you could open another thread.

Was this intended to disagree or agree with some other post? Not sure how "mystery" relates to my post. I argued that Heb 2.3,4 demonstrates that the signs and wonders ceased with the first generation (mainly from the Apostles) of Christians. My post has nothing to do with a mystery. And these...

I noticed that you didn't discuss Heb 2.3,4.

These two verses in red may very well be what you are going through. The verses were a comfort to me after my wife's affair, but it didn't release me from the pain of suffering. You wrote: "I have reasoned to myself that perhaps God is testing me." Yes, and all who desire to live godly in...
