Pleased to meet you. True, it doesn't. But it does for with the teachings of some early Christian evangelists, such as Wulfilas. I, Wulfila, Bishop and Confessor, have always believed thus and in this sole and true faith I make my journey to my Lord, I believe that there is only one God the...

I'm a seventh day Adventist. Our pioneers did not accept the Trinity as taught by mainstream churches of the time, nor the creeds. Today however our church has changed. Only a relatively few continue to accept the pioneer's view, while the official church teaching includes the Trinity, or at...

Indeed He did. Some with "many stripes," some with not so many, according to their works. In other words, degrees of punishment. But the end is always the same. Death.

It appears to me that you are promoting your opinion of one aspect of character as His main attribute. God's intention to consign billions of people to eternal never ending torture because they failed to acknowledge Jesus as their Saviour. Many of them possibly did that because some Christian...

Try harmonizing the "never-ending" understanding of "forever" with everything else you know about Who God is and what He is like. Remember, Jesus revealed the Father's character to the world.

But it does mean death. You claim it means life at a hot address.

Talking of irony. You quoted the Bible, but don't believe what you quoted. The Bible didn't say everlasting punishment as a verb... continuous ongoing process. It says punishment...a noun... Finished event. Death. No resurrection. No life.

So what happens to the dead if there's no resurrection?

I don't normally do so in threads, but frequently, she said things better than I and is worth the quote. Do you know how many threads Steven has started? 10 pages the site shows, then throws it's hands up in defeat.

The slaughter of sheep by the hundreds with the resulting "rivers of blood" had degenerated to a mere formality without repentance. Hence both John the Baptist's and Jesus's messages of repentance to the nation. Sure, there were exceptions, but you mentioned the norm. As Quiet said, Jesus...

Right there in the above post is all the evidence one needs regarding the slander of Satan against God's character. No-one can argue with the scripture you quoted. It certainly says everlasting punishment. But the slander enters into the equation when you change the nature of punishment. The...

By the time of Jesus, the accepted norm was heretical.

The only orthodoxy we are aware of was that of Anna and Simeon who were present at the dedication of the baby Jesus in the temple. Isaiah informs us of the state of the nation during his tenure, but I see no reason to presume matters had improved at the time of Jesus judging by His rebukes...

The Pharisees built the tombs of the prophets, and adorned their sepulchers, and said one to another, If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have united with them in shedding the blood of God's servants. At the same time they were planning to take the life of His Son. This...

According to Strong's concordance, worship has the powerful connotation of surrender, a bowing down in humility and obedience. I'm not sure how that applies to idolatry in relation to sports teams, but certainly I can see where you are coming from, inasmuch as sports for many is by far more...

Anyone care to define worship?

Which in reality is to be expected. It is the character of God that is under question in the earth today. Is He good? It is the character of God that is being slandered and attacked by Satan. Here... “5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of...

You don't get it. The Bridegroom is Jesus, you are a part of the bride, the church. Did you agree to Jesus's proposal? Why? Because you didn't want the alternative? That's the most compelling motive for marrying Jesus that you can come up with? If my wife had accepted my proposal of marriage...

Yes, God is a consuming fire to sin... And to anyone is still attached... it's everyone's choice. Cleave to sin and be destroyed with it, or be freed from sin and live forever. Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die oh house of Israel?

Yes my darling I will marry you because I don't want to live with mum and dad any more. Thanks.
