    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    I’ve tested what you’re saying by the Word of God, and it doesn’t stand. You can say you’ve studied for years, but what you’re teaching doesn’t match what Scripture actually says. The Bible warns that “if anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    you’re still mixing two very different judgments together as if they’re one and the same. Jeremiah’s warning was indeed to his generation about Babylon’s invasion and the horrors that would take place in the Valley of Hinnom. No one denies that. But that local, national judgment was the type—the...

    Make Sure You’re Following the Real Jesus

    You keep bringing up the same argument again and again, but you are overlooking what the Bible teaches. The NT writers were not inserting or restoring the Tetragrammaton because they were being inspired by the Holy Spirit to write something else, they wrote Kyrios and applied it to Jesus Christ...

    The Wolves Are Already Among Us

    Yes, you did say that earlier. You told me I “wasn’t smart enough to work with the Greek text,” which is exactly the kind of prideful jab that has nothing to do with the topic. Now you say “I’m not smarter than everyone else” but that’s the same tone you took when you tried to elevate your own...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    You can’t really love the Bible if you don’t obey it. The Spirit of the risen Christ has never led anyone to reject or ignore Scripture, for He is the One who gave it ~2 Peter 1:21. The Holy Spirit and the Word never oppose one another. You say that you want to follow the Spirit, but the Spirit...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    The question was answered, straight from the Bible, not from me. The fact that you don’t like the answer doesn’t make it unanswered. You’re rejecting what’s written because it doesn’t fit your version of things. That’s not discernment; that’s rebellion. You can’t rewrite Scripture to suit your...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    None of this is about opinions or who “wins.” It’s about what God’s Word actually says. I keep telling you this isn’t a disagreement in interpretation, but it’s not. I’m quoting Scripture, you’re rejecting it. There is the difference. You say that the gates of the heavenly city never close, but...

    The Wolves Are Already Among Us

    Don’t miss the point. The Bible is not King James’s word. It’s God’s Word, and He is its Author. King James had no hand in the translation (let alone the writing or inspiration) of the Bible. He merely authorized the translation. Over fifty men, many of them learned in Hebrew, Greek, and...

    The Wolves Are Already Among Us

    You’ve just wandered off the topic completely. My post is not on timelines or rapture sequences or end-times charts. My post is on apostasy, the here and now falling away from the truth that Scripture plainly prophesied would occur. Jude and Peter and Paul each foretold this rebellion and said...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Your argument falls flat because you’re trying to force an eternal truth to fit into a single, temporary, national event. You’re diminishing the judgment of gehenna, which Jesus plainly taught was eternal punishment, to a historical moment in the crisis of Jerusalem. That’s not exegesis, that’s...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    You asked for someone to explain how people can be “outside the gates” in Revelation 21–22. Here’s the biblical answer, straight from the text, not opinion. Rev 22: 15 tells you exactly who they are: “Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    Stop twisting Scripture to fit your false gospel. Revelation doesn’t erase hell; it reveals its reality. You keep preaching that “hell is done away with,” but that’s a lie straight from the pit you’re trying to deny. Revelation 20 never says hell ends, it describes what happens to the damned...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    That’s not what the biblical context of the passage means. “Brimstone” (Greek: theion) in the Bible never refers to ceremonial washing or some sort of symbolic cleansing based on human tradition. Brimstone is literally sulfur; the ancients knew it burned. The same Greek word is used in ~Luke...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    What you’re saying is not only wrong, it flies in the face of the Word of God. Revelation 21 and 22 don’t destroy hell; they affirm it. The same passage that mentions the new heaven and the new earth also says, “the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers...

    The judgement of hell came in the first century

    The problem with your argument is that you are equating a local, temporal judgment on a particular generation with the final judgment of hell. But that is not how Scripture speaks. In ~Matthew 23, Jesus berated the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and unbelief and declared that they...

    What a Modern Christian Needs to Understand to Tackle Today's Challenges

    You speak many words, but none of them lead men to Christ. What you’ve written is a cloud without rain, heavy with knowledge, but dry of truth. You dress the wisdom of this world in religious clothing, yet it cannot save a single soul. The gospel is not a philosophy to master but a Person to...

    The Wolves Are Already Among Us

    You are correct that false teachers have been present since the beginning, and the apostles spoke about them in their own time. The difference now is the level of visibility and pervasiveness. The internet didn't create apostasy; it simply unveiled its extent. Scripture mentions, "Evil men and...

    Some people aren’t seeking truth; they’re draining it. Don’t let energy takers steal your time or your peace. Stay focused on God’s Word and keep your discernment sharp. Know the truth of the Bible, not man's opinion.

    The Wolves Are Already Among Us

    That is the exact opposite of what apostasia means. Paul didn’t use that word for the rapture. He used it for a falling away from the faith. The context of ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:3 has to do with rebellion and deception, not rescue. It said it would come before the man of sin is revealed, not after...
