    1000 thousand years is not literal

    You are right. God doesn't need to justify Himself to His mere creations. And He certainly doesn't need us to do it on His behalf. God gives. The same God takes away. God loves. The same God hates. God sometime prevents rape and sometimes He doesn't. That includes murder and suffering. Yet He...

    1000 thousand years is not literal

    So the 7 churches the writer of Revelations states means the complete church in all the earth and of all time? The 144,000 is symbolic, the 12 tribes, the 2 witnesses. Peter says 1 day IS LIKE 1,000 years, not 1,000 years is 1 day. A possible and plausible signal of what you are refering to as...

    The Mark of the Beast is here!

    What about on a practical level like using, investing in and therefore advancing AI.

    The Mark of the Beast is here!

    I guess those wanting to tithe can do so with their food, clothes, time, skills if they end up not receiving that mark. Many do that anyway, not with money. Should one be investing and using crypto and other digital currency if it's going to be the means the beast uses to control people in the...

    Believe Jesus

    Ok. Most people probably need human teachers. The thousands of denominations reveal this and if their teachers didn't keep their defining teachings then they would probably die out or slowly unite.

    Believe Jesus

    Out of interest. How did you come to this conflusion? Hell Fire. The most important doctrine in the NT.

    Believe Jesus

    So anyone can access and read these teachings of Jesus in EVERY translation on Earth you say. Then why do you add the question, Are you being taught these important truths? One doesn't need to be taught it do they. Just read it for themselves.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Again, never a mention of the word FORSOOK. And very grateful for being led into and beyond the scriptures. I come and go to and from the scriptures as my posts reveal. Why don't you quote the scriptures much? If we were honest, haha, we would have to say that for the 50 scriptures I quote...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    I'm pretty sure that you're right there. A lot of false teaching and indoctrination being replaced by the truth here. I'm not ashamed to admit this fact. I love hearing the Spirit of Truth communicate with me, transforming me by the renewing of my mind.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    The word of Jack 'forsook'. Not mine. You stay true to your word. To make it mine is a lie. I think other readers can see that clearly my friend. But hey, you can post whatever you want. I don't think we have a truth/lie moderator reading our dialogue.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    When I was young my parents had jobs to get income to provide for their family. They worked from home and outside the home. In fact my dad would leave the family and work a distance away. Did he forsake us and the family garden which provided for our needs? No, to the contrary, he did it to...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Thanks again for the prompting. Even those who go to hell will eventually repent and take advantage of the blood of Jesus which has no expiry date. To experience God's forgiveness, His mercy and grace. God is absolutely awesome!

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    You have a way of turning a truth into an untruth by misquoting AND misinterpreting someone. And this we do, those who are led by the Spirit of Jesus the Christ, the Good Shepherd. We love Him because He first loved us and gave Himself for us. Now we have His precious Spirit within us leading...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    I was once like you Jack, believe it or not. I believed that EVERY word that came from the mouth of God was recorded in the bible. Of course once the Spirit of the Creator (not demons) opened my eyes, I saw the fuller story. Part of God's expressed thoughts, His words, the words of the Creator...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Yes, it must be confusing for you Jack to only read the beginning of God's story. And to read my first posts that were building towards the fuller story. But it seems you aren't interested in knowing more. Am I on the money here?

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    I was just reminded of this hymn, oldie but a goodie. I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story because I know it's true. it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    It's so fulfilling to watch a movie or read a book to its end as the introduction does not paint the fuller story with all its twists and turns. And most of all, the happy ending. It seems you aren't interested in hearing the fuller story of God's love for us. Yet I'm MORE than happy to spell...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Yes, the fire designed and created by its Creator is everlasting. Once its inhabitants have departed and made their way back to their Creator, it will be empty. Does God repurpose it? God knows.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    That paints a picture of something Satan would do dont you think. Show no love, no mercy and take pleasure in inflicting and observing ongoing suffering. The loving Father I've come to know and experience is quite the opposite. He sets prisoners free. Heals the sick. Gives water to the...
