Where are Sodom and Edom today? Gone....forever. Destroyed....forever. The hyperbole was in the idea that those places would keep burning forever, but really it was a poetic picture to drive home the point that their destruction would last forever, with no coming back from it.

Scripture holds out no hope of there being further opportunity to be saved in the "next life". When once the Master has arisen and shut to the door there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth of those who are thrust out of the kingdom.....and it says elsewhere that it is appointed unto man but...

Jesus showed us what the restoration will look like at His return – it will be the Lord (His angels) gathering OUT of all creation all who sin and defile it and destroying them with fire (our God is a consuming fire) until only what is pure and holy and undefiled and heavenly remains (everything...

This world is not moving in a good direction and transgression is ripening to the full in order for God to finally judge it. A lot of things that are happening I regard as being His judgment as it is, whether man has a hand in it or not, on a society that has turned away from Him and walked out...

Ah, so you are an evangelist.....that's why your focus is on the starting point.....the milk of the word. Except you need to stop throwing the baby out with the bathwater......because after being established in the first principles of the faith, new believers need to begin to become disciplined...

I think there is a danger of calling the entire new testament of instruction, exhortation and warnings legalistic. Yes, we begin our walk of faith...........but having laid the foundation we are to go on to perfection. So apparently there is a sense in which we aren't "perfect" yet when we...

I look at it that it is our new man that has been made free from sin.............but we are still contending with the old man until it is entirely put under our/Christ's feet. That is the reason for the chastisements of those who God loves as sons...ultimately that we may partake of His...

Yes, there is a time for war....except that our weapons are not carnal....but mighty IN GOD. But don't you worry, there are always plenty of worldly governments and people to make war of the carnal kind.....because the Way to life is narrow and only a few find it.

Forced "conversions" and torture too, from what I understand. That is not the way of Christ. No can come to Jesus by force, it is an act of the Holy Spirit in a soul that is willing.

Oh dear, I had @Wrangler pegged as a Catholic. Not a good sign.... NAR must have gotten worse since it started out....hardness of heart and nominal....and stopped up ears. That's what happens with leaven, it grows and bears evil fruit, grieving the Holy Spirit until He departs. Scripture is...

Well as you know we have a strong point of contention there. Imputed righteousness is not a doctrine that says we are innately righteous in our own right - the bible teaches otherwise and the more we grow the more we realize the truth of this. But it is only that God is choosing to accept our...

They are both well known in evangelical and Pentecostal circles where I live, or used to be back when I was attending churches many years ago. Frances Frangipane as well. Oswald Chambers....My Utmost for His Highest....small daily devotional book of what I would call penetrating writings...

I want to get hold of her autobiography so I can read in her own words what she believed and taught. When I started to look into her, reading what some others had to say, I also caught a scent of new age and a sense of mixture. But I know too that people will often automatically reject and can...

That sound encouraging in her favour.......why couldn't you just say so when I asked? I will of course try to verify. That is your own wrong assumption sister. All I did was ask a question about something that didn't make sense to me and instead of answering my inquiry you responded by...

Amen. Any spirit that requires unquestioning conformity and tries to bludgeon or subtly intimidate people into conforming....is not of God. It is of the world and flesh and devil. (It is that exact same spirit of political correctness we have seen taking over society in recent decades.) For...

I assumed you and Episkopos have read her book and could answer that one question I have to begin with......... but instead of simply answering it, you chose to take up two posts to scold me for asking it. I'm not claiming to be one with God (in the same sense that she apparently claimed to...

Thank you for coming back and responding to my post, but it doesn't answer my question at all. How could someone who is one with God still be under a deception? That doesn't make sense to me.

I'd say there is no better or higher witness than the witness and example Jesus gave us....in being wiped off from the face of the earth, as you put it, for His faith and obedience to the Father. He did not tell the church to take up carnal weapons, on the contrary we are told our weapons are...

His reign is spiritual/heavenly............and I believe we are in it now.....the time of longsuffering before He comes that we are to account as salvation (2Peter 3). It is seen and entered into by faith, not by sight. Jesus said to the Jews who were expecting an earthly messianic reign, that...

We need to discern/distinguish/divide and separate between church and government. Islam is a form of theocracy.....how is that working out? The Catholic religion likewise loves to wield political power over governments and persecute true believers bringing the true gospel when it can get away...
