    Is Hell worse for Some?

    The fire spoken of is everlasting fire; and it is spoken of it that it shall never be quenched.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    I consider that the spiritual thing, to be compared with other spiritual thing, is scripture to be compared with scripture. Is not every verse in the Bible a spiritual truth? Therefore we can come to solid conclusions in reading our Bibles, when we take similar and contrasting scriptures and...

    The Righteousness of God

    Romans 4:1-8 speaks of the imputed righteousness of the Lord. Rom 4:1, What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? Rom 4:2, For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. Rom 4:3, For what saith the scripture...

    Can a Christian have a demon?

    I take it you believe that the Book of Revelation isn't inspired; because chapter 7 is clear on the fact that in the last days, there will be such a thing as a purebred Jew; of every tribe of Israel.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    You are denying the biblical hermeneutic that the Holy Ghost by Paul sets forth in 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv). 1Co 2:13, Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. It is simply saying...

    Are You Saved Because You Believe OR Do You Believe Because You Are Saved?

    From the perspective that the Lord knew you before you were born, from the perspective of Him being outside of time. Nevertheless it should be clear that faith in Jesus Christ and what He did for you on the Cross is the catalyst for your salvation. Iow, you are saved because of faith in Jesus...

    Being honest:

    In Romans 8:23 the redemption of the body is defined as the adoption. In Galatians 4:5-7 we find that the adoption is yet past for the Galatian believers. Scriptures that also bear mentioning: Hebrews 9:13b-14a, 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. re #11.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    I don't know what to say...except, thank you for complimenting me on something that I have put forth effort to achieve in my personal walk concerning message boards. I have paid mind to my responses to people who come at me aggressively, that I do not respond in kind. (I have not been always...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    I'm an extravert myself since becoming a Christian; and was greatly introverted before that. My personality completely changed because I became evangelistic in my outlook. Which is not to say that being introverted is wrong. I think that I also recharge when I am alone with the Lord. And...

    Water Baptism:

    If you are willing to take a chance on that, more power to you.... 1Pe 3:20, Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21, The like figure whereunto...

    Explaining the Trinity

    I liked your post but would say that the shamrock is an imperfect illustration.

    Scripture is not the last word.

    It is not discarding God's word to live by the following: Jhn 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Jhn 5:40, And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. It is fine and good to search the scriptures in order to...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Sorry if I am a little stupid...but I think that also the reason why I don't know what you are posting about is that you are not being clear. So elaborate for me, please...I'm dense when it comes to things that the Spirit isn't saying. That verse is a promise of holy scripture written down...

    Explaining the Trinity

    Certain problems arise when you have a plethora of Bibles to choose from. How much better is it to hold the original, authorized version, that has sustained the church for five centuries, to be inerrant and inspired. Impaho, those who reject the kjv for other translations are heaping to...

    What exactly are you responding to?

    Jesus is the Son of God...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    You are self-justifying. New Testament instances of the word: 2Co 6:6, By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, Eph 2:7, That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ...

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Nope. For I believe that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are distinct from each other. What I am denying is Tritheism; which you apparently affirm. No, it is denying the sole sufficiency of the scriptures. There is a difference. I hold that the scriptures are completely sufficient for...

    Now I hope you aren't deifying the Us there now, are you?

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Of course Jesus is the Son of God; and therefore Matthew was not inaccurate to apply Hosea 11:1 to Him. It does not change the fact that he took that scripture out of its immediate context under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
