    Is Jesus the Saviour of the whole World?

    Those verses in Mark agree with other scriptures...... Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned (krino - damned) already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Your chart says the righteous are under the Law and I am stuck at that point. Are you talking about nominal believers in mind, or those who have received Christ in heart by faith? If you are talking about those who have received Christ (His Spirit) by faith, then you don't seem to be in...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Can't get past that you are saying believers are under the old covenant (Law). And that there are those who would agree with that. Nobody who is under the Law knows or has Christ, so they are not Christians. Christian believers (Jew and Gentile) are under the new covenant, not the Law: Jer...

    Do you guys support Trump's war on Iran right now?

    All I know is, it is so galling and vexing when evil is allowed to carry on with impunity. It certainly isn't the church's job to deal with it though, that is only the God-given mandate of government. In my heart I feel this war with the Iranian regime is a just one, but that is just my...

    Do you guys support Trump's war on Iran right now?

    I believe Christians generally have discernment enough to be able to know that oppression is evil. And I do understand America and Israel are not in this for entirely altruistic reasons, but I am praying that it works out well for the Iranian people, and for America and Israel as well.

    Do you guys support Trump's war on Iran right now?

    I do support the extermination of evil regimes and pray the Iranian people will be able to have a fresh start in a free society. And I support the LORD rising up and going to war against the devil and ALL his evil in this sin-sick world.

    Nurse Practitioner in Canada persecuted and lost everything during Covid for acting according to her conscience.

    Please kindly pray for this courageous woman and that justice would be served, and that she recoup all that she has lost...her home, her livelihood, her professional reputation, and even her car......even that she would receive compensation for all the mental stress that she has been through...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    That parable of the labourers in the vineyard was speaking to the Jews (who had laboured and been with God much longer) about the Gentiles....instructing them not to be jealous of them. Unbelievers are not working in God's vineyard at any time, neither in heat of day nor the cool of the...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    There are times in scripture when the Lord changes gears to interject something that is apart from the context. But not in this passage we are talking about. We need the context here. Salted with fire means to be preserved through it. It means to only suffer the loss of some things...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Cruel and sadistic is your accusation. Life has an end for most. It is temporal. That is not cruel and sadistic....it is simply reality....the consequences/wages of sin....which people do to themselves. And I want to add...........just look around you at this world and the cruel things that...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    You know what brother, I don't mind hearing what people have to say.........I'm not afraid of considering things and testing them by scripture. But if something can't be shown to be what scripture is teaching, then I have to reject it. These Universalists will have to do a better job of...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    We need to read the whole context to understand what it means to be salted with fire. It is talking about believers suffering and losing things in this life (chastised as sons) in order to gain eternal life. Better to lose one eye or hand in this life than for the whole body to be thrown into...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    There is a big problem in using this as an apologetic for your theory........everyone will be judged by what they do in this life, not by what they may do afterwards.

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Haven't we already beaten this one to death ? It is simply not a teaching on salvation....it is addressing a different subject.

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    We will all face judgment..........whether we are shown clemency or not is the question. Those in the Lamb's book of LIFE will not see death....the second death. That can't be said of those who are not in the Lamb's book of LIFE.

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Jhn 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 1Co 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Amen. Many try to eliminate the fear of God.........the Truth has always been under attack from counterfeit humanistic ideas born of the flesh and mind of man, which are fed to them by the serpent. As shepherdsword pointed out, it is the serpent who lies and says "thou shalt not surely die".

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    No confusion, it's very simple. The "sentence" for sin is death, and the only way to secure a "pardon" is through faith in Christ....we need to have our names written in the Lamb's book of life.

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Jesus did all the work and He paid the price that all might be saved......all anyone has to do is to simply yield and not resist Him. But as scripture speaks about, many do harden their hearts and resist the Spirit....they prefer the darkness because of their sins....and they don't want God to...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    ?? Is it? Then please explain how receiving eternal life and perishing are the same...? And how being justified and condemned/damned are the same...? And how salvation and perdition are the same...?
