Is there a reason for me to not believe that he said "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"? You for some reason have a problem with this statement. Why??? Did I not explain in pain staking detail what he actually meant?? Spare me, I guess you can figure it out yourself, no...

Well, this isn't a game, this is the word of God. Since you won't quote the scriptures commonly used to support universal salvation, then I'll do it for you. Paul here is actually quoting the prophet Isaiah. He speaks of the salvation of Israel that will be witnessed by every nation at the...

So there is something more to be done to secure my salvation, is that it?

What are the counter scriptues to the scriptures plainly revealing the lake of fire judgement?

Its been translated for you with great accuracy and you have the lexicon if there is a word you may have a problem with. Oh and let's not forget that Holy Spirit, unless you believe "human nature" trumps that as well. If you have a brain capable of putting two numbers together to come to a...

:) Right well, its easy to say that now, especially for Christians who live in certain countries that have had an easy life, you know, like America or Australia who haven't had to truly suffer persecution for the faith in comparison to others who are already going through hell. We will see how...

Still fetching leaves off a tree. This might take awhile, not sure how long.

How do I choose to express this calling and is there a specific population that I feel called to serve? No particular group at all. I don't go out Bible thumping, or go out of my way looking to "serve". I don't care for any specific population that much to be wasting my time. The Holy Spirit...

There are some Christians who go under the term "Annihilationist" that believe hell exists but that its not an eternal punishment. Despite Jesus Christ plainly stating the fire will be unquenching and everlasting, this particular brand of believer will still twist the term "everlasting" using...

God is even more justified for not giving team Satan another chance. As you say, they were elect, and most importantly, they don't operate off "faith", because they know God personally. They have seen Gods face and conversed with him regularly, as opposed to humanity that only had the knowledge...

Well we aren't discussing human nature, we are discussing the word of God.

"Qualified"? You have the holy spirit don't you? That's all the qualification you need, plus you have your Lexicon and the internet. This isn't rocket science.

This is not my opinion, this is the word of God. "You do not know how to read it" :rolleyes:...No, this is just you refusing to see what's plainly revealed. What this really is, is you don't have a problem with my interpretation, you have a problem with scripture because it contradicts your...

It first states that the old heaven and earth are passed away and then describes New Jerusalem descending from the new heaven along with God himself towards earth, to dwell with his creation. If this one verse doesn't clear the air for you, then there is nothing more I have to say about it. God...

Once again, when the Bible describes his presence, its not described as if he is some blob that is bound to the creation and vice versa. This isn't some pantheistic deity we're talking about. He is present because he chooses to be. He can just as easily withdraw his presence from you just as...

So here we have another 'oracle' blatantly contradicting the word of God. 1 Cor. 3:12-15 says absolutely zilch about "final purification" being a requirement to be saved. Paul says belief in Jesus Christ as the foundation is the only requirement for one to be saved. You on the other hand, with...

Having access to God through the high priest is not the same as God physically dwelling with you on earth. If he was here, the world would be singing a different tune.

:rolleyes:.....It does according to your savior, plainly revealed to John in Revelation. If someones 'documentary' is contradicting the word made flesh, then they can take that documentary and shove it, pure and simple.

The way the story is written doesn't even imply anything to the contrary. He breathes into Adam's nostrils, puts him to sleep, rips a bone clean out of his body, places him in the garden and brought all the animals to Adam so he can name them. All this sums up an actual physical appearance in...

If that was the case then God would have just created Adam and Eve with the glorified bodies to begin with similar to angels, and all would have been fine, no tree of life would even be necessary. He could have made our bodies like the angels without Jesus just like he did Moses and Elijah. Of...
