I think you might be a little off target, there. EVERYONE is initially destined for whatever "Hell" is. "Being forgiven" by God does not save you nor put you in Heaven...…….. ACCEPTING that forgiveness by belief in and on Jesus does that.

This worship song is NOT from the olden days when that "expectation of Slaughtering and Riding" was even more popular, but was written in this generation.

Well now, do some discrete questioning around your own congregation, and if you don't prematurely tip your hand, you will be surprised at how many people you can get to actually admit that they are truly looking forward to coming back and riding horses in an Army with Jesus, slaughtering...

The truth is, we honestly don't really have any accurate descriptions of what either Hell OR Heaven are truly like.

I thought I was a hot piece of barnyard patty after 12 years of CoC Bible Study. Boy, did I have an eye-opening lot to "unlearn" when I finally got smart enough to simply read the Bible as it is really written.

For a fact, if we don't "really" want to change, we won't.

(Written by a friend of mine) When someone like myself, or one of the multitudes of other way more qualified professionals out there, dares to question the morality of the eternal conscious torment model of hell, we will be almost immediately jumped on by a multitude of would-be apologists and...

Wise words, and true! And I especially like the wisdom of the sentence I highlighted.

Yes, similar to the way President Trump's theme song puts it: "You may not find what you think you have to seek, but you will find what you need."

It would be an engagement in insanity to hold views you think are not true. And most beliefs are backed by Scripture that each individual believer has determined are real and true as they interpret them.... and every single one of us interprets Scripture through their own eyes (Yes, even...

(From a friend of mine) There are so many Christians out there who feel like failures for not having answers to certain questions that plague us. They want to have everything figured out and know how to answer all of the "but what about this verse?" types of questions, but they just don't...

No, not personally. I imagine the Corporate changes brought more money to the various companies I'm invested in, but it doesn't seem to have done much for me, personally.

That comment isn't loaded with "smarts." Don't you want to make up your own mind about things, rather than being told by someone else what you are supposed to like or think?

I see. But, is Christ "really" being preached if we are just getting a relatively small amount of possibly accurately, or inaccurately, read Bible spoken from the front of the room, while the underlying intent is truly aimed directly at somehow getting us to give more money? When you consider...

I dunno, my "phone" sometimes thinks it's a deaconess.

What do you consider, "for profit?" Is a 24/7 available preaching man being offered a living wage what you would call, "profit?"

BTW, here is a link to IHOP's 24 hour worship and prayer feed. (In case you are up at some odd hour and want something uplifting.) 24/7 Prayer With Worship - International House of Prayer [They are currently under some construction, so parts are pre-recorded for the present time... but it is...

I never even knew her. I have just heard the stories.

I was even ten feet away from the speaker when it happened... still fully "CoC", KNOWING all this was hype because it all died with the last Apostle..

It has taken me many decades to build up that base. And if someone like President Trump had been in office all that time, I might have made well over twice as much by this time. And, BTW, none of that increase came from personal tax breaks. It is all due to higher dividends being paid...
