    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    The Gospel, the good news my friend. Love will prevail after judgement. The Creator's love for His creations will endure forever without end. Given time, who can resist God and His love. We know by experience that we were drawn to His love when we were dead in our sin, living in darkness, lost...

    As Jesus said and He is fulfilling His promise today, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall...

    That's entirely up to the Spirit of Truth within me. I don't dictate to Him what He says or the means He uses. I just receive it and thank Him. It's pretty simple really. As you may or may no realise by now, I will not go to God via the bible. I go directly to Him. Again if He speaks to me...

    The body of Christ, the church is built on Christ. His continued revelation of God's thoughts given to its members is our Light, Spiritual Food, Truth, Instruction, and Doctrine. Christ and His Father are not mute. They have never stopped communicating new truths but do so continuously...

    Creation was not made to be worshipped. But over time people began worshipping it, making it an object of worship, be it a human, an animal in its created form or a fashioned object of worship. Gold moulded into an image of a calf, a woman, a man. All the raw material that these idols are made...

    My father wrote letters to my older brothers, for them personally and some for the rest of the family while I was a baby. When I grew up those letters found their way into my possession. I read them every day religiously. Even when my father came home I continued to read those letters from him...

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

    For me it was my practice to put the book before the Person of God and His words. Also to consult and be led by a book not the Spirit of Truth Jesus and His Father deposited into me. I placed this idol (bible) ahead, before, above God my Creator. But I have repented I trust in the God and...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Sorry, I'm not sure of the relevance of this quote.

    I guess I've made it clear that I am not a student of Paul or any other human. I remain faithful to the Holy Spirit and endeavour to hear Him and be led by Him. Even one of your other teachers tells you this. John states .... But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and...

    The challenge is not relying on an extremely narrow funnel to channel the unlimited flow of the Niagara Falls or trying to look at the universe through a microscope. It's not that the mind of God is small but that the scriptures is so narrow in scope and limited in volume. Every word that...

    And the truth that gives us confidence in this is that we have the mind of Christ. The Spirit of God and His Christ possess Their mind and He is in us. This is mind blowing. God's mind in us. Praise God for His amazing Gift, the Spirit of Truth Who downloads His words direct from the mind and...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Thanks Jack. Isn't it encouraging to know that if it wasn't for God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, all humans would be sent to the lake of fire forever. But God has revealed that He is going to send some there and only until they too repent and are reconciled to Himself. Now...

    Thanks Jack. It's very ironic that I have quoted the bible I'm guessing around 50 verses to your one over time. The one you claim has forsaken the bible. Yet you claim to be the one to have the bible as your source of truth. Maybe you might want to prove it to your readers, or not.

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    I appreciate the truth in this hymn... Praise Him, praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died. He, our Rock, our Hope of eternal salvation— Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus, the Crucified!

    Thanks Jack. When things are taken out of context they can make things very confusing. Remain in your confusion with half truths.

    Thanks Jack. I am enjoying being reminded of what God the Creator has done, is currently doing and will do in Christ reconciling all of His creations to Himself. It's truly a beautiful plan of salvation. Glory to God!

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    I'm so blown away that all who oppose their Creator, including Satan the devil will at some time be reconciled to Him. This makes my heart leap for joy. Even now as I meditate on this beautiful truth. Glory to God our Creator Who is in the process of reconciling ALL things to Himself. I'm so...
