God is not mocked...we shouldn't be either.

The scripture says "the second man (Jesus) is the Lord from heaven". 1 Cor 15. Who is the Lord? God is the Lord. Jesus Christ is Lord. There is only one Lord/God. And in that same passage it says "the last Adam became a quickening spirit".........perhaps that is the change that Jesus...

I would think it is due to the utter regret of knowing there is no way to go back and alter their fate at that point.....it is the same weeping and gnashing of teeth of the tares thrown into the furnace/lake of fire.

Just like when He was baptized....not because He needed to be, but it was in order to fulfill all righteousness in obedience to the Father. He set an example for us and also was our forerunner and tip of the spear, making the way so that we could follow. He left behind His deity so to speak...

Just look at the whole chapter, which gives context to what is being said. It's not that hard, except for those who have an agenda of defending a false doctrine.

Yes, in a manner of speaking, He is our ELDER brother......which speaks to authority. But that isn't all He is.

I'd be interested in seeing what you have on that 4-step process, if you have time to share it....please and thanks!

Strange how you appear to be interpreting that. Well, God's word does test our hearts.

Amen. Like darkness provides an opportunity and backdrop for light to shine. The Lord is SO wise!

Did His friends stop serving Him? Of course not. Friendship indicates a more intimate relationship based on love and regard than that of someone who is only a servant. But it doesn't mean to stop being His servants does it. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his...

So strange that you just blindly ignore half the plan. Rom 9:21-23 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the...

Not at all, it's because you don't agree with God's word. And you argue from your own reasonings and feelings most of the time, not from scripture. What scripture you do bring, you aren't rightly dividing in view of the whole counsel of God. Your views nullify and completely water down the...

Oh for sure they will not have any doubts at all when that time comes, however, it will be too late for faith and to receive Christ because time will have run out. The coming of the Lord IS the judgment for unbelievers, and redemption for those who do believe. "Blessed are you who have not...

Why do you think it has to be one or the other? He wants friends who know their place, and who willingly/voluntarily serve Him because of knowing who He is.

What did Jesus say? He said to fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell/gehenna/fire. Perdition means destruction. Elsewhere it talks about those who are "like the beasts that perish, meant to be taken and destroyed". It is either eternal life or no eternal life....no...

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess when they see the Lord coming in all His glory with their own eyes, but it will be too late for them then. As someone else already pointed out, even the devil believes because he has seen the Lord, but it isn't doing him one lick of good is it? It...

Not it's not rocket science at all........it's spiritual understanding, which as far as I can tell you don't seem to have any experience with. Are you born again? Have you received the Holy Spirit? or if you have, did you fall away?

What "you" are seeing as contradiction is resolvable. Just because "you" can't resolve those scrips doesn't mean they are not resolvable. "You" are not the measure of truth. (nor are any of us...that's why we always need the LORD to resolve what might appear on the surface to be contradictory)

What gets my attention is that it directly addresses and very clearly answers some of the things that are being said here. But He is the Boss,, ie, the Lord God Almighty, and that is the whole point. Sovereign ruler and reigning King over everything that is. Until we lower and humble our...

No, He doesn't confuse, but He TESTS us........do we have the Spirit to be able to understand? are we willing to believe the truth? do we love the truth? or do we only believe what the carnal mind and flesh wants to believe and what feels and seemeth right to us? And also there is the...
