    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    People of every nation, tribe and tongue. That is a general statement...not meant to include every individual. Balance is the most difficult thing for a temporal mind to consider. People will ALWAYS go from one extreme to the other. At least until more wisdom is added in. So people will shift...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    You are in error to think that only the elect are saved. Who will they rule over? According to the Bible the righteous. But here the many who have been indoctrinated into a religious ideology will deny that any are righteous but themselves. Can you say...Phariseeism???
  3. Episkopos

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Yes...but through the process of weeding out sin and those who love sin more than the truth. Peace and harmony will be restored. The Fall was necessary to weed out the ones who hate peace and harmony. :)

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Yes. We will be judged against the conscience God has given to us as we are created in His image. Of course there are those whose conscience has been seared through practice of evil. And then there are those who go too far the other way and sear their consciences based on religious ideology...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    That is to assume that God's plan did not include the fall. God uses the devil to weed out those who are not faithful to Him. He will sort us out according to our kind. Rev. 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Not everyone is His sheep. We are given free will to obey the Lord or not. He will not force us to love Him or others. Those who refuse to participate will not be included.
  7. Episkopos

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    God will restore an eternal order. On Earth as it is in heaven. Something that will last for eternity. If we are in the way of that, we will be pushed aside, so to speak. If we want to partake of God's eternal order, we best get with the agenda at the present time...while we still can. :)...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    We need to see the balance in God's judgments in our reading of the bible. God is far more merciful than fundamentalists can grasp. But He is also holy. God so loved the world...not just the church. Understanding this is a real challenge to the dogmatic beliefs of many believers. But we can...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Any logical person will see through the religious charade that passes for the modern gospel. Unfortunately these people leaving the faith identify what is being propped up as Christianity to be genuine.

    Why are faithless people claimed to be outside of the gates of the city in heaven?

    The righteous of the nations are not permitted entry into the holy city. Only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. Those who are only written in the Book of life will inhabit the nations...think..."the meek will inherit the earth. The righteous indeed are scarcely saved. The saints...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    An interesting twist in interpreting the bible. However, this is not faithful to the text. Inserting words...manipulating the text...is now common practice. If people want to be affirmed in their present state...so be it.
  13. Episkopos

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    I am literate, logical, reasonable and well informed. The whole world means that all men have access into the calling in Christ. God also so loved the world. That doesn't mean that many won't be cast into the lake of fire. This means that salvation has moved beyond the barrier of a physical...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Are you saying the whole world is now reconciled...without faith?
  15. Episkopos

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Quite the opposite. You misunderstand his points. No one can justify themselves by either what they do or what they believe. We are only justified IN Christ...but that is not something we spiritualize...rather it is according to grace...the power of a resurrection life. Not at all. What has...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Holiness religion as you call it is recognizing what God has made available to us in Jesus Christ. This is entered into by grace through faith...by the gift of the Spirit empowering the weakness of the flesh through divine power (grace). Your scheme denies the power of God...which is anathema...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    This is dead wrong. The law of God remains in effect....not one jot or tittle is lost until the end. Read what Jesus says. Again false. You badly need instruction in righteousness. Taking one verse out of context leads to error and then heretical teachings. You are not your corruptible body...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    We are not talking about the law of Moses but the law of God. To love others as Jesus loves. The whole law is made up by the two principle love commandments AND the one new law to love as Jesus loved. You are making the grace error of spiritualizing truth away...according to the modern false...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Good observation! :) Bad theology however. Paul confessed he was the chief of sinners. You can think that means that he continued to lead a sinful lifestyle....thus excusing one's own sins. OR, we can see Romans 7 as a testimony about his discovery of the power of grace to walk as Jesus...
  20. Episkopos

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    So far so good. :) This is false. Grace empowers us to overcome as He overcame. He didn't overcome INSTEAD of us. That is a false gospel that Paul anathematizes. Not so. The law is fulfilled in us who believe....not in Christ...but in WE who walk in Christ. Rom. 8:4 That the righteousness of...
