What if purgatory is hell; but then the name of the person is found written in the book of life? 1 Corinthians 3 seems to speak of some kind of purging with fire.

Sin against a visible standard of righteousness.

See post #187.

Against whom... God.

Is there more than one kind of law? I am afraid that you are going to have to give the teaching on this; because I am at a loss as to how to answer your question. And if you cannot answer my question, I understand...that you do not have an answer, and that therefore there may be a flaw in your...

The following verse bears mentioning... Heb 1:6, And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. What do you make of the following verse? Gal 3:12, And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

I am sorry.

You are declaring lies (you have three fingers pointing back at you, according to Matthew 7:1-5). The truth of the matter is that Isaiah 9:6 tells us very plainly that Jesus (the Son that was given) is the everlasting Father. And in John 17:3, the word and is the Greek word kai which can be...

The doctrine of the inevitability of sin is a false doctrine and heresy. Nevertheless, it is taught in some mainstream churches.

The latter verse is a symbolic quote of how wisdom will treat you if you do not seek her early. The other verses may indeed speak of the Lord laughing; but I do not find the Lord mocking in these verses.

Amen, I am learning to do that, even in most recent days, in which I have noticed myself falling short of what I would like to be.

How many Christians in that number?

Actually, Jesus broke the sabbath (John 5:17-18). And I am also not certain that He wore tzitzit and tallit and tefilin from the moment He was born to the moment of His death. He couldn't have: He was practically naked while being crucified. Which only goes to show that the change in law...

Reminds me of: 1Co 13:1, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1Co 13:2, And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I...

1 John 3:6 is to be compared to 1 John 2:17.

I suppose I shouldn't expect everyone to receive the truth of the matter...for there are those who walk according to a natural mindset and will not receive the truth... 1Co 2:14, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he...

Romans 6:23 has as its context Romans 6:22. It declares that the end is everlasting life when we begin to walk in freedom from sin and bear fruit unto holiness. And, therefore, in Romans 6:23, "the wages of sin is death" is not nullified by "the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our...

I don't believe that our Lord is a mocker...mocking another is not holy behaviour; I would identify it as sinful. And Jesus was without sin. Certainly not. Although, a certain atheist made the following statement: If I believed as Christians say they do, I would tackle people in order to...
