Mourning is no sin. Depression is no sin. Take Job, in his misery 3 of his friends came to comfort him. Job 2:13 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great. Give it a try :dusted:

Yep, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, can you feel the love ? Agree, I still think they need to repent, receive forgiveness, know about Jesus, confess Jesus as Lord -- Filipp 2:10:11 And so this should happen in afterlife ?

Uh, yes, what else ? Rev 14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, Rev 14:10 he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his...

I voted NO, meaning not any longer, can't ignore all the warnings, the examples in Scripture, having seen examples around me.

I am not following, afterlife and the LOF are not taught in the NT ? Then what is taught in the NT ?

It's not that I think the picture is wrong, I just have a question why the concept of hell and the LOF aren't revealed in the OT and millions died unaware of their future in afterlife, and actually also the idea of afterlife in the OT isn't even crystal clear, the closest is in Dan 12:2...

Wrong, when Jesus said take up your cross and follow Me is willing (like Jesus) to die for Him, just like He died for us. Jesus even added, else you are not worthy -- Matt 10:38 Taken from gotquestions - When a person carried a cross in Jesus’ day, no one thought of it as a persistent...

Matt 5:1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. Matt 5:2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: Matt 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall...

Why did Paul write not of works, lest anyone should boast ? Because in that time many considered themselves under the Mosaic Law, that you could earn your salvation by works. And Paul said no, it's only by God's Grace, only because of Jesus, no more boasting. See that? - By grace. - Through...

That should be convincing enough. Paul about himself - 1Cor 9:23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. 1Cor 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 1Cor 9:25 Every...

That's badly formulated. Why stop after verse 7 ? Tit 3:4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, Tit 3:5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit...

Sigh. I will re-quote - Matt 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” Matt 26:27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you...

To death of course. Hebr 3:14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. Hebr 6:11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,

Excellent Scripture. Some more : Adding verse 11 as well Rev 2:10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown...

Except you.

Do you realize Universalism reasons the same way?

And one chapter further about the same people, in the LOF and second death : Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually...

Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood...

To avoid disobedience :gd

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:14 He will glorify me [Jesus], for he will take what is mine and...
