You don't know people who have fallen in love with their guns and expect to be able to shoot it out with the state? I guess I was around the wrong crowd too often because there are lots and lots of them. Mind you, the "government" isn't even what I was referring to, but your lawful right to own...

No one can omit something that's been promised to occur by God. Your guns on the other hand will be proven to be irrelevant when the time comes. Christians who put guns on a pedestal, who hold them in such a high regard, will learn that the hard way.

"Dismantling NAFTA" o_O Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Not sure about what NAFTA has done to Canada, but I know what it has done to mine.

The term 'immortal' is used quite loosely throughout scripture. The only times immortality is used to describe anything else other than God are the glorified bodies we get and the angels. The bodies we are given are plainly stated by Paul to be 'immortal', the nature of which Jesus himself...

Who do I say Jesus is? Instead of spouting off endless amounts of scripture, I'd rather just boil it down to a few words and be done with it. Jesus Christ to me is akin to what our immune system is to my physical body. He is the immune system, the cure against what I call STD's, short for...

This is a good explanation. Do I envy them? Nah, I could care less about these 144,000 "virgins" when it comes down to it. There are certain things I just don't get too hung up on. As long as I am not the one getting drop kicked into the fire in the end, I don't care.

Oh look, another 'massacre', and another anti-gun schmuck running his mouth. You know, I find it odd that these characters always neglects to mention the obvious fact that these shootings only happen in gun free areas. This is assuming I were to believe the official narrative, and in this age of...

I'm assuming you believe that the atonement should be universal, that no repentance on the part of the individual should be necessary. Is that the idea? There would be no need for judgement day if that's the case. If what happened in Eden was happening sooner or later no matter what God did...

:) Well, see what exactly? So far, there is really nothing that hasn't been stated in this thread by anyone including me that isn't in scripture to some degree, it just needs to be realized. Aspen says Jesus is the tree of life, and scripture plainly says that the life giving force of Jesus...

I see, well, I see the terms "you are forgiven" and "you are perceived as sinless" as synonymous with each other. If Jesus Christ put away sin, then as far as God is concerned, you are sinless. If he didn't, well, you'll find out when the time comes. If you are still standing before God next to...

I'm not understanding the context. Whats this have to do with what I wrote?

The answer to scriptures like this may be really simple. When God says Job was "perfect", was he "perfect" in his ways, or was he "perfect" like God is perfect?

"shall be in it" Have you considered that scripture??? And I'm quite sure the "have life and life more abundantly" statement in context is in reference only to the saints, his 'sheep'. I don't know about you, but my 'healing', my life is in Jesus Christ, not leaves on a tree.

Satan wants to "be like God", and we all know it hasn't worked out for him, and it won't in the end, a tragic, but well deserved ending. Even in the phrase, " and ye shall be like gods", there is a lesson that can be learned from it. You see, there are some people that misinterpret being made by...

So if I am understanding correctly, you believe the tree of life is your savior?

I understand that Jesus Christ was sent to serve as the atonement for our sins and remove it from the creation. If the tree of life is Jesus Christ, then could the tree of life have atoned for our sins?

The idea of sin being ever present comes from the tree that introduced it to begin with. Like I said, sin didn't magically pop up because of the tree, the tree was simply the thing that introduced the knowledge of it. Sin itself as a disease was bound to infect the creation sooner or later and...

Yes, scripture does say he preached to the dead, but that was before he rose again, not after. Jesus Christ at present is sitting on the right hand of the Father. The preaching has been left to his saints on this side of the dirt. This is why people often ask how the gospel will account for...

Well, when Paul quotes Jeremiah stating that it is by the new covenant in Jesus Christ that God will "remember our sins no more", I don't think most people realize just how profound this really is, especially the people in here who have asked me certain types of questions, like why God didn't...

Yeah, I'm sure we all know that God desires children who love him, but from the perspective of apologetic's, the answer isn't really that simple, and has not been a sufficient argument when trying to give a reasonable defense for your faith. I don't go around telling unbelievers that the world...
