Oh my, LOL :) <><

A Millenium means 1,000 years. Rev. 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat...

Judgment comes first to the house of God...the saints and the filthy....honour and dishonour. The Bible (not you) then says a thousand years pass by with Jesus and the saints ruling over the earth. The devil and his demons are locked up during that time..as the Bible says. Then comes the...

Actually the GWT judgment comes AFTER the Millenium. At that time the nations will be judged according to their works. Those who were righteous...who worked righteousness among the nations...will be greeted by the Lord to inhabit the nations in the eternal kingdom of God. This is NOT a judgment...

I should point out that you are only quoting John here. John's message should not be understood as what is possible for the human intellect to conjure up. His writings a very spiritual in nature. John quotes Jesus as saying "believe "into" (eis)". That is not a human kind of belief. It is the...

Will pray for Linda! <><

This is anti spiritual drivel that is really anti-Christ...because God IS Spirit and reveals Himself to His saints by visitation of the Spirit. To be in Christ is to be filled with the Spirit so as to walk as Jesus walked. This is about power...the power of the life to come. This level of walk...

Armchair philosophy aside, this is a total misunderstanding of the gospel. The law that we are free from is the law of Moses...JUDAISM. A Christian does NOT need to convert to Judaism to follow Christ. THAT was the big issue back in the day, and it is no longer so. But the enemy uses an archaic...

Quite the opposite. The bible is out of reach of human understanding. If the bible was concocted by men then there would be an easy to follow logic...much like the modern gospel that is an invention of men. So the truth is safe. No one can tamper with it. All of your concerns are...

The bible speaks of virtue (arete) as manly courage. The Greeks of the 1st century would have known what Peter (2 Peter 1) and Paul meant by having virtue. There were many statues dedicated to arete. The 300 Spartans who made a stand at Thermopylae were exemplars of this martial courage. In...

Naw...even a cup of cold water given to a disciple has value to God. Whoever is not against us is for us. Inasmuch as the righteous help the least of the brethren...they do it to the Lord.

There is no "correct" version of the translation into English or any other translation. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The important thing is to live in the same Spirit as the writers of the bible did. When that happens the biblical account will be something familiar since it...

The bible contains 2 levels or covenants. The first is according to righteousness... (Read Ez. chapters 18 and 33 for particulars)...and the New Testament is according to holiness...to walk as Jesus walked. Both together are known as God's ways or paths. The way of righteousness and the way of...

Correction: the unbelievers among His people are condemned...not people who have not had the opportunity to know the Lord.

The narrow gate is actually entering INTO Jesus (the doorway into eternal life and reality) so as to walk as He walked...without spot or wrinkle of sin. If that was the only standard of salvation then most believers could not be saved seeing that many will TRY or SEEK to enter in and be unable...

There are two levels or standards that are according to God's ways (plural). Now most people do NOT know God's ways and because of this will through ignorance pit one level against the other. Because the New Testament is really only concerned with the higher walk in Christ, there is a tendency...

This is you simply denying the power of God. You see ANY success..that has the power over sin ...as self effort...because you have not yet known the power of Christ in your life. Let the truth sink in deeper into the inner man rather than imprisoning it in the shallow opinions and religious...

Do we not all fall short of God's standard? By grace we fulfill that standard. However, most people will indeed fall short of holding onto that grace. Falling from grace is not the terrible thing that people make it to be. A baby takes steps and falls when he is learning to walk. Falling down...

Spiritual things are judged by those who know the way of the Spirit. Those who don't know the "Way" will forever quibble over who is right and who is wrong. People are a mixture of both good and bad...so it is to be expected that whatever is created by and approved by men will reflect that same...

What is right is what brings life...what edifies the INNER man. The outer man is satisfied with sensual things...sights, smells, sounds. What becomes tradition is what is seen as working with carnal people rather than follow the Apostolic tradition that nurtures spiritual life. So to be...
