Did the good man turn bad or do "bad" things? The only reason good exists in the world is that good men with guns kill bad men with guns. Killing is not the ideal but we don't live in an ideal world. We live in a world ruled by the effective use of violence. The paradox is civilization must...

Yet, there are Elohim, heavenly beings or species, right? (I see this as a Venn diagram or application of senses of words, like set).

Evidently, based on the voting and analysis, SDA& JW's are not the only ones who believe God (the Son of God) is the Angel of the Lord.

Yes, both passages totally teach progressive structure. What else does it mean that those who can be trusted with a little can be trusted with a lot? I am interested in your insight.

Not really an answer to my question. Your just stuck in personal attacks.

Maybe not in the OP … The entire thrust is negative, which is why I asked.

Nonsense. The Bible wrote all the verses I referenced. Nothing was invented. You're just denying the repeated message of Scripture.

Says you! I cannot imagine a more obvious paraphrase of progressive structure than when our Lord said in Luke 12:47-49 (Voice) 47 Now if a servant who is given clear instructions by his master doesn’t follow those instructions but instead is complacent and apathetic, then he will be punished...

Really? Where in the Bible does it state we have the authority to decide where someone’s ultimate fate is, heaven or hell? Saying things like “I don’t know if the person should go to heaven,” at least implies usurpation of God’s role in the process And at most, reveals a god complex on part of...

That’s how I see it too with him.

You write this is response to the post that details what the Bible actually teaches - over and over again - regarding progressive structure. You don’t have eyes to see.

My, my an impressive display of illogic to avoid answering the questions. 1st, change the subject multiple times. Then ... Appeal to Majority. Appeal to Subjectivism. Personal attack. (Ad homenim embedded in another Appeal to Majority) The questions remain ...

Zero. Heaven is not for us. Sad how many Christians believe otherwise - even those who read the Bible. On top of that, they won’t be resurrected until Judgment Day, which is yet to happen. It may be comforting to think a loved one that passes is in heaven, looking down on us in new, glorified...

If we showed you, I doubt you’d abandon your indoctrinated theology. Frankly, it is VERY obvious from Scripture there is this structure and it is presented in many ways. Paul talks about milk in comparison to meat. What is that all about? Progression. Hebrews compares Moses inferior to...

How do you reconcile this with be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect? Matthew 5:48

I recently posted a similar observation about many in Christendom; the forgiveness of sins is taken as a given and ritualistically so - not treated with profound gratitude or reverence, as you say. Very sad.

You do know that drinking His blood is metaphorical, right?

Exactly right! I am ashamed so many Christians think it’s all for lip service.

I wonder why then is Christ to dwell in us; so we can bear no resemblance of the Lord we serve?

@Grailhunter, I don’t always agree with @Episkopos but seriously, blah, blah? We can engage in more respect discourse that that. I too reject ECT as unbiblical. It is the fire that is eternal, not the torment. The wages of sin is not ECT but death.
