Whitestone, Your words: "The other is one of those who calls themselves a "sinner saved by grace". They teach that it is ok to sin now and again, that nothing can be done about it, that 'grace' will take care of it. The one has eternal Life. The other is admittedly crucifying the Lord afresh...

I do believe in corporal punishment if administered correctly and with love. I'm surprised no one mentioned the verse, Spare the rod, spoil the child, (paraphrased) Pr. 13:24 Duh, I just noticed the title of the OP, my bad.

God's judgment at times will be more severe for Israel during the time of Jacob's trouble but fear not, the rest of the world will experience judgment and wrath as well. To think that all God's wrath and judgment is reserved for Israel alone is foolishness.

Hi Dragonfly, This board thankfully isn't representative of the whole Church, just parts. Those who believe in OSAS have no real understanding of grace or scripture. Hi Axehead, I firmly believe the bumper sticker, Christians aren't perfect just forgiven, however one must balance that with a...

I don't attend a church in a building, so my church is called, The Body of Christ!

I think the verses you gave answer the question quite nicely.

Well, here's my three cents (inflation) on the issue. Was Jesus God before He was conceived to Mary? Yes! Was Jesus God when He returned to heaven? Yes! Was Jesus God while on earth? Imo, No! Did Jesus have to be "divine" to be the Messiah? No! All He had to be was sinless, the perfect...

Hi Axehead, I agree with most of what you wrote but I think you have a misunderstanding of Grace. You really can't go by Annanias and Sapphira because as far as we know, it was a one time event and the scripture tells us specifically what their sin was. Do some christians abuse grace because of...

Hi day, Sorry, but I disagree with your conclusions. There is very little that is historic about Revelations, imo.

Hi Retrobyter, Do I think anyone is going to battle in their underwear? No, I don't. If you read the article you would see that I rejected what the editors of the bible thought and after prayerful consideration I rec'd what I believe was my answer from God. I never try to reason with just my...

Eph. 6:13 - Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand (withstand, KJV) your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. It is my opinion, that this verse contains a warning regarding the evil day that will be called the Great...

Ok, here's my question. What do you think the writing on both sides may contain? and, why is it written on both sides? Rev. 5:1 - Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. Ez. 2:9-10 - Then I looked, and I saw a...

Sorry, you don't agree but that's just the way it is. If the Holy Spirit were working in you then you would know this to be true.

Vs. 7 & 21 are both current reality

Imo, vs. 7 is still a current reality and is still being fulfilled.

Sometimes you got to use a little common sense, the Holy Spirit worked then as He works now. Look at how many times things regarding the end times are considered to be "soon". Obviously, what is "soon" to God isn't "soon" to us. One mustn't get their knickers in a twist over word for word...

This is just a guesstimate mind you but if we take David's word that a mans' life is 70 yrs and consider that a generation and have the last generation that shall see "all these things come to pass" per Matthew 24 and if we consider the "beginning" of that generation to be 1948, then including...

Could you be more specific? What part is a stretch?

The most recent event I can think of was the election of Obama as president. I believe that God was giving us an example of how an "unknown" can have a world-wide 85% approval rating and get elected while being totally incompetent and having accomplished nothing worthwhile to deserve that...

No, as a pre-wrather I don't believe the bible teaches imminency. I believe the stage is being set up for the fulfillment of biblical prophecies and they will be completed in our lifetime, realizing tho that several other generations of believers thought that as well.
