    12 reasons why hell is not eternal conscious torment

    I would submit that he wasn't immortal, thus the need to eat from the tree of life. It would seem to me that there would be no need for the tree if man was immortal. However we find in Paul's writings that the Father alone has immortality. 14 that you keep this commandment without spot...

    God's foreknowledge and our free will

    Personally I believe the end is very near, however, the exact time is hard to ascertain. The only way we can do that is to connect the Biblical calender with our modern calender. Most try to do that via the crucifixion, however we don't know exactly how accurate that is. I do believe the date of...

    God's foreknowledge and our free will

    Hi ATP, Yes, I believe the reign of Christ will be a literal 1000 years. The book I was talking about, "The Time of the End" is a Bible Chronology that starts at the beginning of time and shows this 6000 years on the Biblical time line. It's very interesting and he confirms his findings...

    God's foreknowledge and our free will

    The Early Christians taught that man would be under the curse for 6000 years and then the end would come. They said that the day of creation where both literal and prophecy. God worked for 6 days and rested on the 7th. David said, 4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it...

    God's foreknowledge and our free will

    Hi ATP, I think judgment has to fall on America to set up the end time events, which I believe are very close. I think all that we see going on with Iran and all of these Middle East countries are setting the stage for the next 20 years or so. Are you familiar with the Early Christians and the...

    12 reasons why hell is not eternal conscious torment

    Stan, If man will be immortal why must He eat from the Tree of Life? I submit that man never was nor ever will be immortal in and of Himself. Rather he will live then the same way he does now, God will give him life. 7 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To...

    God's foreknowledge and our free will

    Hi ATP, This is interesting, but at present I don't think the reestablishment of Israel is necessarily prophecy fulfilled. The nation as whole is far from God at this point. I don't think they have turned back to God yet. Have you read "The Time of the End?"

    I'm not sure. I'd need to research it a little more.

    Replacement Theology

    I agree that the passage is speaking of God using who He will.

    Replacement Theology

    The land was a part of that promise that God made to Abraham. 14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15 For all the land which thou seest, to...

    Replacement Theology

    I see one plan from the beginning which has been in the process of being fulfilled by God through time. I believe that the land promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be fulfilled in the resurrection.

    Replacement Theology

    I'm not familiar of the intricacies of replacement theology, however, I would submit that, the premise, the church replaced Israel is not what the Scriptures teach. God's plan to save mankind has been the same from the beginning, salvation would come through Abraham and his Seed. 3 And I will...

    Salvation by Grace through faith alone

    I agree with you that salvation is not a done deal when one believes. However, I believe this passage Philippians is not speaking of Christians in general. The Philippian church in contrast to others was supporting Paul's ministry financially. I believe this is the good work that Paul is...

    Soul sleep

    Are you referring to other passage out side of Ecc? If so, we have David who was prophet. KJV Psalm 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? (Psa 30:9 KJV) 9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I...

    Soul sleep

    It's just saying that his life came back to him. It seems that either way the result is the same. If one doesn't have the spirit they don't have life either.
