Jesus preached on the subject of hell more than on any other subject. The concept of hell has nothing to do with "God beating his wife" as you would blasphemously and inaccurately portray. It has everything to do with God's justice/judgment. Again, Pro 28:5, Evil men understand not judgment...

Also, in 1 Corinthians 1:17, God did not send Paul to baptize. Acts of the Apostles 18:8 may have a bearing on that, however. Because it is clear that many of the Corinthians were baptized, just not by Paul. So, Paul may have taken the same ideology on baptism that Jesus did in John 4:2...

The Good Samaritan may be an example. (as he represents those who are outside of the realm of orthodox faith). Faith has to do with mental assent; but is not complete until it is of the heart: and such a faith is always unto righteousness (Romans 10:10)...righteous living is the result of a...

No mention of water baptism in John 5:24 (or in John 6:47). And these are "verily, verily" statements by our Lord. If one believes not, they will be damned. If one believes but is not baptized, they are not necessarily damned. It is not absolutely secure that they are saved; but it is also...

It does not say, "he that is baptized not shall be damned"...but "he that believeth not shall be damned." I conclude that the shall in Mark 16:16 indicates the absolute surety of salvation for those who believe and are baptized; but that the verse does not indicate damnation for the one who...

The new covenant is obviously for the church of Jesus Christ. To say otherwise is to enter into the realm of the absurd.

God became a Man in Jesus Christ. So yes, God has a physical finger. Romans 1 speaks of the testimony and light of creation. Men are without excuse. Romans 2 speaks of the light of conscience. If someone obeys the first light they will receive the 2nd. If someone receives the 1st two...

I know that I am not the Holy Ghost (and neither are you)...but that the Holy Ghost dwells within me. And if He prompted me to say what I said to you, then I have not stepped out of bounds.

We are justified by grace, Romans 3:24, because of faith in Jesus' blood, Romans 3:25. Jesus said, I am the way and the truth and the life; no one cometh to the Father, except through me. However, his righteousness is as filthy rags...Isaiah 64:6...whereas the righteousness of faith is fine...

I know that the Lord ministered to me concerning the fact that I myself had stumbled at that stumblingstone, attempting to achieve righteousness by the law..and that in this I was not submitting to the righteousness of God but was attempting to establish my own righteousness. I can only pray...

You're right...our sin is what puts us into hell...and our sins cannot be forgiven if we reject Christ, they will be forgiven if we receive Christ. Therefore rejecting Christ is an indirect cause for people going to hell. Because they really go to hell for their sins. Because they rejected...

Rom 9:30, What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. Rom 9:31, But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Rom 9:32...

Scripture? I believe that the scriptures that I have mentioned (Romans 9:30-33) in context of the others (Romans 10:1-4) do substantiate what I have said about God's righteousness being the righteousness of faith (see also Philippians 3:9).

The fear of the LORD is wisdom according to Job 28:28... It is the beginning of wisdom according to two other verses... The beginning of real knowledge according to one other verse... According to another two passages, we are indeed to fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into...

Concerning the title question: Isaiah 1:13 and Malachi 1:11 are contrasting verses on the issue. I believe that Isaiah 1:13 was speaking of God's detesting of their religious practices over the fact that they were done in hypocrisy. It was not incense in itself that was the abomination to the...

That Jesus shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of our sins and gave us His Holy Spirit so that we might be able to walk in obedience to His commandments.

I would simply give mention to a single verse: Eph 3:6, That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

That is what you say...

Concerning Romans 10:3...the context is Romans 9:30-33. It tells us that God's righteousness is the righteousness of faith; the righteousness which is of God by faith (Philippians 3:9)...that the Jews missed out on the righteousness of God because they were attempting to obtain it through the...

Hey... Jesus said, Mat 5:20, For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. And also, Isa 56:1, Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is...
