Let's use context, shall we ? Rom 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead...

Thanks, that explains a lot. 1Cor 9:27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. OTOH : 2Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on...

Count the words soon in Revelations. Soon is not 2000 years.

Do you live in fear that the Lord might reject you ?

Rev 11 is about the temple to be destroyed and the 3½ years (42 months) are exactly matching history, the siege of Jerusalem started in AD 66, do the math.

Of course you can be right, we can't imagine how it will be. Only that God's judgements will be right and we will understand His judgements will be right. Also about the new things the Lord might do in afterlife, we have no clue. I think a possible place about outer darkness - Rev 22:15 -...

That's so weird, trillion x trillion x trillion of years living in outer darkness, weeping in agony, regrets, begging for mercy with no hope, that's punishment. A lesser punishment, still a punishment.

What a nonsense. Thrown into Outer Darkness is punishment, not salvation. To speak with the famous words of Epi, you failed the 5 year old reading skills.

Outer Darkness is punishment, not salvation.

Laurina, if you don't mind, first things first, you said those thrown into outer darkness are saved and as Jude 1:13 implies that is everlasting. Meaning away from the presence of the Lord, outer darkness being a place of anguish, heartache, grief, and unspeakable suffering, away from the...

CONTEXT Matt 8:5 When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, Matt 8:6 “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” Matt 8:7 And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” Matt 8:8 But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to...

Reading the context of that verse I believe the children of the kingdom are the unbelieving Jews. John 1:11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. You might disagree.

I think I will address that later. But for the moment - Always. 1Petr 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1Petr 1:4 to an...

Exactly. Where does Scripture state the damned can talk to Abraham ?

Read about the roots of the Abraham's Bosom on the Wikipedia, it's an invention of man, the Pharisees, it's nowhere in Scripture. The parable of the rich man is in a long series of Jesus preaching against the Pharisees, chapter after chapter. v14 explicitly states the Pharisees were lovers of...

Aside of the simple math the verse implies on salvation there is another meaning, the measurement in punishment for the lost and rewards for the saved. Better now ? :funlaugh2

There is no Abraham's bosom in Scripture, thus parable. Something religious that slipped in during the absent of prophets. If it were real you must believe we all end up into Abraham's bosom when we die, that does not sound Scriptural. Secondly, what is described about hell in the parable comes...

Remember the context :Broadly: Rev 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” 2 lost 2 saved

Alright then, Epi reminds me of a classic Reformed / Calvinistic Hell and damnation preacher. It was my first church, I went there after my conversion because my fiance (still my wife) was Reformed and notable her father was an elder, a fine person and sincere Christian. And the church had...

So 2 lost, 2 saved.
