I agree with this in principle. Where do we get the idea of a conscious torment? From a parable that describes the difference between a good ending for the poor and a bad ending for the rich. (Lazarus and the rich man). Does that mean there is such a thing as eternal torment in the lake of fire...

I have spoken to a few who have been disgusted by all the immature religiosity here, and have left the forum altogether. These ask me how do I continue to put up with all the slander, the false accusations, the personal attacks....etc... Well, we are to do all as to the Lord, and if I was as...

Here is another sample from the upcoming album...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjvtqYqy4k0

Are you thinking of making some interesting posts based on meat products? No discussion...no scriptural support...just obfuscation. :rolleyes:

A simple reading skill...and a mathematical ability to count to say...4! That's all that's needed here to blow apart your simplistic indoctrination. Count with me! 1. 2. 3. 4. Now go to the parable of the Sower and count the different kinds of soil.... 1. 2. 3. 4. Here is Jesus' teaching on...

You are using an indoctrination about your own salvation to cover up the truth concerning the ways of God with all people. Believers are not condemned with the world. salvation causes people to move on into the 3 destines that cover all those who are NOT condemned with the world. The angels...

The three measure of flour are the three destinies available to believers...that directly concern the kingdom of God and our own participation in it. When the full number of saints is arrived at (the dough fully risen) then the end will come and the angels will sort out the catch (the parable...

If you watched the video you would hear the part where I describe getting the flesh out of the way in order to produce an eternal fruit. God is selfless. Jesus is selfless. The ego is selfish by nature...it needs to be crucified to produce an untainted fruit that bears up in the fires of...

There are so many references...but I will go to the end of the bible to show that an eternal destiny of each kind is described. The righteous in the next age are called "the saved of the nations" ...or...the nations of them that are saved. Rev. 21: 23 And the city had no need of the sun...

Of course. Later!

Wealth can be a problem if we care about it too much. We are to hold lightly what we have in the temporal world. There are both the kedoshim AND the tzedakim. The holy and the righteous. The holy rule with Christ...over the saved of the nations (righteous). Outside the city are the...

Only the saints/the Bride will do this. This is not a prerequisite for salvation...only to be a citizen of the holy city. All Christians should aspire to be the Bride of Christ. Having said that, the cost is far too high for most people...especially we in the rich Western countries. It's very...

The bible holds together if you understand the different polarities described therein. And my resource is the Holy Spirit through whom I have understanding. Among believers there are also many who refuse to sell all to possess the kingdom field where the treasure of an intimate walk with God is...

This is both false and simplistic. An example of your error would be how the word "leaven" is used. Sometimes it is in regard to wrongful teaching as in beware the leaven of the Pharisees. But it is also used to describe the rise of the kingdom life. So one is bad and the other is good. So...

You are confusing two different parables. There is no "bad seed" in the parable of the Sower. In that parable the seed is the message of the kingdom. In this parable...the good seed... the seed is indeed people (unlike the Sower parable where the people are likened to different kinds of soil)...

Not so much. Yes On one level, yes...but not the level that is crucial to believers. Believers are saved from the world at the beginning of the Christian walk. Many assume that all is well from that point on. But we have the bible to insure that real seekers avoid the many pitfalls that are...

Just because you don't know the kingdom walk doesn't mean you should discourage others from seeking it from God. A selfish disposition will always stop others from having more than themselves. Warning people of the coming judgment is far wiser than sticking one's head in the sand. There is...

That is the difference between understanding the word...and just repeating what is written without any understanding of it. Each verse is connected to many others so that a perfect idea is formed. An example is "the field" in Jesus' parables being BOTH the world AND the kingdom. Does it...

Post #19 is meant as a distraction. It has nothing to do with a key to understanding the parables. Mr. E criticizes my posts...but he doesn't understand them. The key is to understand how WE receive the gospel of the kingdom. If we receive the word to "get saved" then we are the rocky...

The crows circle overhead...looking for carrion. Here they come. And each of these know they having nothing to offer to the thread but dead religion. :rolleyes:
