    Jesus: The Good Shepherd , Are You His Sheep? Jesus: The Good Shepherd , do you listen to his voice?

    Dear Jesusfollower, I just wanted to point out a few things from your post. You said: The relationship between Jesus and His followers is one of profound security. John 10:28 (NKJV) assures us, "And I give them eternal (aion) life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them...

    What does the number 14 represent in the Bible?

    Dear Berean, I read your post and can agree with a small portion of what you presented. However, you are missing the overall meaning of the number fourteen due to you not understanding the pathway to salvation. I do agree that 14 has two parts (7 + 7) as you stated. Here is what I see for the...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear JunChosen, You need to consider these scriptures below because they contradict your beliefs - then pray for more faith and understanding. God is the giver of good gifts to those who ask. Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear MatthewG, Yes, love is the foundation of a believer's works of faith and those works are caused by Christ. When a believer is converted and has their spiritual blindness healed, their false beliefs and scriptural contradictions will start falling like dominoes as they learning the truth of...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear MatthewG, Yes, I absolutely agree with most of your comments. However, it is Christ within us that causes us to love God and our neighbors. Phi 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Beebster, I have presented the truth you presented in your post to many SDA believers on this forum. They just can't accept that the physical Sabbath Day was only a foreshadowing of the time when we enter into the rest of Christ. As I have said, the Old Covenant is based upon the works...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Johann, Yes, I believe Christ will save all mankind. Christ is mankind's Savior and since He is mankind's God, He cannot fail in the mission His Father gave Him. If He fails to save even one person, He would miss the mark His Father set and that would be a sin. 1John 4:14 And we have...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear AuntyJane, You are still using your carnal reasoning to determine what is truth. You need to let scripture teach you because the ways of man are not the ways of God. And yes, the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant. But the Old Covenant is based upon the works of man to make man...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Johann, Eternal life never ends but there are no verses that say "eternal". Scripture primarily teaches about the things which happen during the ages. Christ is the God of the ages, the Elect receive life during the ages, the Day of the Lord occurs during the ages and so forth. That...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Johann, The church became apostate shortly after Paul's death. Using church history and church leaders as a guide to understanding God's Word should never be done. Scripture is sufficient. Joe

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Beebster, I'm happy that you are seeing the same Christ that I see. We are blessed. Christ is truly loving & merciful and will not pervert judgment as mankind does. Prov 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. Job 34:12 Yea, surely God...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear PGS11, Anything that is not "in Christ" does not have life. The "life" the sheep (Elect) will experience in the final age is described below: John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear PGS11, When the Old and New Testaments were written, there was not a Hebrew or Greek word that meant eternal, everlasting or forever and ever. When scripture needed to communicate the idea of something being eternal, it always says that it "has no end" or is "immortal" or other words to...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear Jack, The Greek phrase "aion aion" means age of the ages. It can be scripturally proven that "forever and ever" is incorrect. Joe

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear JunChosen, Since I didn't directly respond to the scripture you quoted, I will now. I'm not sure why you posted it, but all that the scripture is saying is that there is an order to the salvation of mankind. These verses apply: 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Dear JunChosen, God's Word clearly teaches that Christ is mankind's Savior and that He will not stop is work until the last person of mankind is saved. Apostate believers reject this truth because it conflicts with their belief that salvation is the responsibility of each individual person. But...

    Free Grace Theology

    Dear GracePeace, Christ, who is the manifestation of God's Grace, will not rest until He has saved all mankind. He saves mankind by the New Covenant of Grace through Faith. In the end, Christ will save all mankind just as the prophets foretold. Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which...

    Free Grace Theology

    Dear GracePeace, What I have presented in my posts is what scripture teaches about God's grace. Free Grace Theology is just another false teaching of the apostate church. When you look at what FGT teaches, it still requires a person to have faith which they believe comes from a person's own...

    Free Grace Theology

    Dear GracePeace, God's grace does not end and is not reliant upon any works from a person for them to receive it. And because Christ is the manifestation of God's grace, Christ's work of saving mankind will not end until the last of mankind is saved (all who have died in Adam). Rom 5:15 But...

    Free Grace Theology

    Dear GracePeace, Grace is defined as "unmerited favor" and is the reason why Christ comes to a person who is in a "lost" condition (either unbelievers or apostate believers). When Christ comes to a person, He does so without their asking or permission. Grace is not contingent upon anything...
