    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Those who go to this holding cell called hell will not return from there for they haven't been tried and sentenced by God. But after they are, and cast into the lake of fire, then that is a different story. A story that tells of the Creators love when He extends His mercy and grace to every...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    If atonement is limited then it is only for a limited time and for a limited purpose. Then these limitations will be lifted and removed so that everyone will repent and experience atonement and all the benefits which come from that. Redemption and reconciliation, mercy and grace, peace and...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    Aren't there 2 events, 2 purposes, 2 kingdoms, 2 groups of redeemed beings? Event 1. One kingdom with one purpose involving 1 group of beings = Jesus's kingdom of 1 age of 1000 years. With the purpose of restoring all things on earth. Involving those Jesus redeems from every tongue, tribe...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    The great hope we have is in Christ the Redeemer. If it wasn't for Him ALL would be judged and sent to the lake of fire. But we know that He is in the process of redeeming individuals from every tongue tribe people and nation to reign with Him in His new coming kingdom on earth. As with those...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Agreed. There is the holding cell or watchhouse (hell) where they remain until their trial. From within here no amount of remorse or repentance can bring about forgiveness or their release. But after their trial and sentencing they are thrown into prison, John refers to it as the lake of fire...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    As far as being chosen by God and redeemed by His Christ out of every nation, people, tribe and tongue yes I agree with you. These must be born again in this life. They must receive the seal of God's Spirit in this present age. Every king/priest who reigns with King Jesus in His coming 1000 year...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. I don't identify as a universalist but my heart is strengthened by grace, the grace of God that will be...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    If it is limited, it's only limited for a time and for a very good reason.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    And Jesus will keep His promise. And Father is not willing that any should perish. But instead, that they will ALL repent and be saved. Great news!

    Doctrine of Predestination

    So none seek God, no not one? So all are in a state of unbelief? Because Satan has blinded the eyes of everyone? Are you saying that God had to introduce the Holy Spirit to convict the world, (all born in Adam and are blinded by Satan) of sin, righteousness and judgement to come? Then one can...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    As in the days of Noah, who were called? Who were chosen to be saved on the ark? This floating vessel with limited space? Obviously not every human alive at that time, be it trillions, billions or even millions. And God only chose a male and female of every kind of animal. Again, what was God's...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    So who is Jesus choosing (intending) to save, redeem, reconcile to God out of every nation, people, tribe and tongue? And for what purpose?

    Doctrine of Predestination

    And Paul adds.....having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself — by Him, I say, whether they be things on earth or things in heaven. How awesome is this!

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Jesus said, It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Jesus didn't add, The words in the bible that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Where did YOU get this information that says, 'the Bible contains all the Truth of God that He wants us to know'? I've never read this in any bibles. Agreed. 'Not the bibles are truth' Most of God's words are not in the bibles of course. Sure. But the psalmist doesn't say 'For thou hast...

    Predestination VS Free Will

    So in your opinion who reigns as kings and priests with Christ in His 1000 year kingdom? Which runners, vessels, servants with talents, tree?

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Yes, the Holy Spirit caused the bibles to be compiled. I'm assuming you are refering to the bibles when you use the term, word of God. Then yes, He does. Again, I'm assuming when you use the word scriptures, bible and word of God you are refering to the same thing and using them...
