Cruel and sadistic is your accusation. Life has an end for most. It is temporal. That is not cruel and sadistic....it is simply reality....the consequences/wages of sin....which people do to themselves. And I want to add...........just look around you at this world and the cruel things that...

You know what brother, I don't mind hearing what people have to say.........I'm not afraid of considering things and testing them by scripture. But if something can't be shown to be what scripture is teaching, then I have to reject it. These Universalists will have to do a better job of...

We need to read the whole context to understand what it means to be salted with fire. It is talking about believers suffering and losing things in this life (chastised as sons) in order to gain eternal life. Better to lose one eye or hand in this life than for the whole body to be thrown into...

There is a big problem in using this as an apologetic for your theory........everyone will be judged by what they do in this life, not by what they may do afterwards.

Haven't we already beaten this one to death ? It is simply not a teaching on salvation....it is addressing a different subject.

We will all face judgment..........whether we are shown clemency or not is the question. Those in the Lamb's book of LIFE will not see death....the second death. That can't be said of those who are not in the Lamb's book of LIFE.

Jhn 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 1Co 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of...

Amen. Many try to eliminate the fear of God.........the Truth has always been under attack from counterfeit humanistic ideas born of the flesh and mind of man, which are fed to them by the serpent. As shepherdsword pointed out, it is the serpent who lies and says "thou shalt not surely die".

No confusion, it's very simple. The "sentence" for sin is death, and the only way to secure a "pardon" is through faith in Christ....we need to have our names written in the Lamb's book of life.

Jesus did all the work and He paid the price that all might be saved......all anyone has to do is to simply yield and not resist Him. But as scripture speaks about, many do harden their hearts and resist the Spirit....they prefer the darkness because of their sins....and they don't want God to...

?? Is it? Then please explain how receiving eternal life and perishing are the same...? And how being justified and condemned/damned are the same...? And how salvation and perdition are the same...?

I just quoted Peter's verse too brother. What does the END mean? Scratching my head here, hmmmm.....thinking really hard.....I conclude it must mean just what it says......the end. One's FINAL state, not a coming back from it. It is appointed unto man but once to die, and then the...

Spiritual language............poetic and often the use of hyperbole. We need to ears to hear what the SPIRIT is saying. All flesh refers to both Jew and Gentile. I see in these passage the generous offering of salvation to all and the love of God that hopes all things, God opening His arms...

You're very consistent in your habit of ignoring so much..... cherry picking again.....you need to read the whole passage and context of Mark 9......it agrees with this: 1Pe 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the...

Those verses are very good news.....for whosoever will. Unfortunately not everyone is willing. God in His foreknowledge has created some to be vessels of His mercy and some to be vessels of wrath. The unbelieving are already called "children of wrath"....as we all once were. What does it...

Please take notice that this applies to those who at least have the foundation, which is Christ. It is clearly speaking of believers, not unbelievers. We can either build on that foundation with spiritual materials of God and His Spirit that can withstand the fire, or those of our own fleshly...

Lake of fire......is not man's invention but was prepared for the devil and his angels, into which all wicked and unbelieving who are not in the Lamb's book of life will be cast when they are judged. I mean that is what the bible says. Jesus also referred to it allegorically as gehenna.....a...

Yes, it must be in this lifetime. since "it is appointed unto man but once to die and after that the judgment." There are only two resurrections after death....one is to eternal life and the other is to shame and condemnation....as scripture also says....everyone will have their part in either...

All of fallen humankind who are without Christ still IS abiding under the wrath of God, according to scripture. We dont' get to just make this up as we go along, but we live by the word of God. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son...

Looking at that whole verse: Heb 7:25 Wherefore he (Christ) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him (Christ), seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them
