There isa great deal I could respond to, but will reduce it all to just 2 points. First, there is clearly 2 resurrections, with 2 very different results. Second, it is likened to a harvest, which means the fruits of our works are ripe... Whether for good or for evil... And the resurrection we...

If the last 2 years has taught us anything, it's that if people are afraid enough, they'll agree to anything.

So you are suggesting that the reformers came to their conclusions based on observation and experience? That they didn't use the scriptures to come to what they all agreed on? Were they really that shallow and superficial in their conclusions? May I suggest that they were better Bible scholars...

Hi. Yep, seems you've settled the question once and for all. Everyone out seems is resurrected at the same time, of you ignore the scriptures that appear to state otherwise. Which begs the question however. Having everyone resurrected at the same time, being at the second coming of Jesus in...

So the thread, as is inevitable with any eschatological topic, has evolved and wandered far away from us original premise... Amil/premil. The initial argument based on the belief that there is only one resurrection. Jesus taught that there will be two general resurrections: “Marvel not at this...

One very important thing to be aware of... We will be judged by our works. While our works do not save us, it is our works which will reveal in the judgement whether we are saved. The Judge looks at the evidence. Our works are evidence as to whether the works are of Christ and His righteousness...

In the sermon on the mount Christ exhorts His listeners to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. So what is the righteousness of God, and why is it so important that we are to seek it on an equal level of priority as His kingdom? James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not...

But Mary. Even if that were really Jesus and not a biscuit and you ate Him every day, that would still not be a relationship. We don't relate to reach other by consuming them as food. Those scriptures where Jesus Himself said, KJV John 6:53-58 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say...

So you would have the following...KJV 2 Peter 3:12 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Destroying the new earth?

@Behold I agree with much of what you are presenting here. Righteousness comes by faith. Sanctification however is a process, and I believe that as we are made aware of sin in our lives, then we are to confess those sins and repent. True repentance to the point of hating what God hates and...

The descriptive, 'legalism', is often a mere imagined excuse for a lack of willingness to obey, and forsake known sin.

When the Catholic Church dominated Europe, compelling obedience to papal authority under pain of excommunication and even death, joining with the state to subdue dissent, various church leaders, many of them highly educated but taught in the schools of Rome, discovered the scriptures and read...

The future millennium is book ended by resurrections... The first resurrection of God's people at the second coming of Jesus, who are then taken to heaven. The 1000 years is an earthly Sabbath. Nothing on earth is alive after the plagues and earthquakes and upheavals of the final days, and those...

I might add that suicide for many is an act of despair, desperation, hopelessness. Those sad mental states don't always represent mental illness, but can be the result of trauma and abuse. Yet ultimately we must believe God is merciful, not after the fact of death, but prior to any attempt at...

I heard an online sermon a short time ago. The preacher offered a really good analogy to the idea that Jesus came to save us from our sins. You are trapped in a house, surrounded by a wall of fire you know is impenetrable. The walls all around you are about to collapse inwards, and the roof is...

Lol. Yes you do. And the positive responses to such an outrageous idea is positively underwhelming.

There is nothing amusing or comedic about the Catholic notion that a relationship with Christ means to eat a biscuit once a week. That is not relationship. That is deception and a counterfeit: a real relationship with Jesus is spiritual and through a daily constant communion with Him through the...

Indeed. A stumbling stone and Rock of offense for those who seek glory by their works.

Those traditions that non Catholics keep for the most part were inherited from Rome. I say non Catholic, because there are very few who profess to be protestants these days, and even less who actually are.
