    Halloween Street Preaching

    Whatever truth the Holy Spirit has guided me into is obviously the truth. So, if other men think that they have a truth that is contrary to the truth that is given by the Holy Spirit, it in all reality is not the truth; and not given by the Holy Spirit.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    2 Corinthians 6:2 would tell us that now is the time of salvation; whatever time you may be reading the verse: whether before you committed your life unto the Lord unto justification or whether after you received that one-time salvation. We are told to abide in Christ.

    True Trinity.

    Maybe when I get some time, I will turn my message into a college essay form like you are asking. But I don't see the point in doing so; since I would merely be rearranging the information into a format that is more suitable to you. However, the format that it currently exists in is from the...

    True Trinity.

    I don't know how to do what you're asking without excluding some of the information that I would like to keep included. I feel that your motivations are less than honourable; that you are attempting to make my message less overwhelming for those who would want to pick it apart.

    True Trinity.

    I'm not going to simplify it for you so that you can pull it apart. The entire message (of posts #1-#5) stands as what you may have to deal with if you are going to deny the Trinity as I have presented it.

    True Trinity.

    I know so. Unless you believe that Jesus is the great I AM, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

    True Trinity.

    Post #5 actually addresses this contention.

    Testing...

    I was just testing to see if the threads that are at the very end get deleted over "falling off the cliff". Apparently nothing gets deleted; the first post that was ever posted on these boards is very likely at the top of the list.

    True Trinity.

    I probably should have posted post #5 first. For therein is my summary thesis. Hindsight is 20/20. Edit: the posts in question are intended as preaching; not as a general thesis statement.

    True Trinity.

    No one is denying the distinctness in the personalities of the Father and the Son. However, we do well to believe in one God (James 2:19). If you are referring to John 17:3, please understand that the Greek word for "and" is "kai" and can be translated "even".

    True Trinity.

    No, by all means give your input. It doesn't look like he has any kind of answer, anyway.

    Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, biblical or not?

    You have to ask yourself the question, of whether the Father deserves the the title of "lord" or whether the term "Lord" is more aptly applied to Him. The reality is that the Father is the "Lord of heaven and earth" and that no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Ghost. We...

    Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, biblical or not?

    Just realize that Jesus said that the Father is the Lord in Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21. And then that Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6 declares to us that there is only one Lord. Then, that no one can say that Jesus is the Lord except by the Holy Ghost. Now, can you say that Jesus is the Lord...

    GALATIANS 1:8 WHO IS ACCURSED ? ***

    In answer to the title question: jehovah's witnesses, mormons, anyone else preaching a false gospel not given by the apostles in the 1st Century.

    Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, biblical or not?

    The designation of capital letters to the word Lord makes a difference in the equation. When "lord" has a lower-case "l" then what you say above is true. When "Lord" has an upper-case "L" then understand that the scripture declares that there is only one who is designated Lord by this word...

    Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, biblical or not?

    But you must consider that there is only one Lord. So if the Father is the Lord of heaven and earth; and Jesus is also the Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6, 1 Corinthians 12:3); and there is one Lord; this would indicate to us that Jesus is the Father. However, 1 Corinthians 12:3 would indicate to you...

    Is the doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment, biblical or not?

    And, @BARNEY BRIGHT, you certainly have the right to take your chances on eternity; especially since you do not know that my interpretation is invalid; both concerning the fact of Jesus claiming to be the great I AM (for the "He" is in italics) as well as concerning what it will mean for you to...

    True Trinity.

    There is one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), the Father (John 4:23-24, Ephesians 4:6), the Son (Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12), and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39, 2 Timothy 1:14). There is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5), the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21), the Son (1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv), 1...
