Without a doubt these Scriptures do not speak well of Balaam. But he is called a prophet in (2 Peter 2:16). And he is not called a false prophet either. His great sin was money. Profiting from being a prophet. And he never gave a false prophecy. And he was 'rebuked' for his...

Of course it is appeasement. Whether temporary or eternal doesn't matter. In this case it is eternal. The lost will not be restored unless God's righteousness is appeased and satisfied. Think again, harder this time. Stranger

If God didn't need appeasement, then there is no need for the blood of Christ. Think again. Stranger

Indeed. That we might choose. And, in our choice we recognize it is always God's will that is best. Irregardless of what I may think. It is always God's will that is best and that will work out well. Though I have a will, my will must be in submission to God's will. So God perhaps wants...

Think again. If the Almighty is not pleased whatever is done for others is useless. Stranger

Amen sister. Your wording concerning Watchman Nee is interesting to me. You said "you remember hearing". Is that through the ear or through reading. I have read much of Watchman Nee, and have great respect for him as a leader and martyr of God. Stranger

I agree and am leaning this way also. How can Balaam be a false prophet when he never gave a false prophecy. He always said he could not say but what the Lord told him. And that is always the prophecy he gave. And Balaams sin did not involve prophecy, but involved trying to hinder or stop...

In (Heb. 9:11-12), we see that Jesus Christ, as high priest, entered the true tabernacle in Heaven with His own blood. Just like Aaron, the high priest, did once a year. And in (Heb. 6:19-20) we see that this is into the very Holy of Holies. "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul...

This man is quite an enigma to me. His story is recorded in (Num. 22-25). His way is recorded in (2 Peter 2:15-16). His doctrine is recorded in (Rev. 2:14). His death is recorded in (Josh. 13:22) After reading all of these sections, what do you think? Was Balaam a false or true prophet...

So does God. Stranger

I never have taken one. Just wasn't interested. I know certain strains of it can become real killers. I don't understand why they quit giving the small pox vaccine. It may be eradicated here, but I guarantee you it is still out there in the world somewhere. Stranger

Of course, all who believe are elect. But why are they elect? and when did they constitute or become the body of the elect? Stranger

Homosexuality is not a culture. It's an abomination. It's diverse all right. A diversity condemned by God. Oh yes, diversity teaches you alot. It has it's purpose. It is just not a good one. Read #471 again. Stranger

No, (Rev. 12:9) identifies Satan as the serpent. Satan is one of his names. The devil or serpent or dragon are others. Stranger

When you say all are the elect, then there is no elect. There is no doctrine of the elect. Well you shouldn't be concerned with 'joy' as much as supporting your position. Stranger

Yes, I am. And (Rev. 12:9) shows that the serpent is Satan. Stranger

I would say your marriage was not a picture of Christian diversity. For diversity to work both parties have to be Christian. They have to have the Holy Spirit. And the comparison of diversity with doctrinal differences is not correct either. By diversity we are speaking of race and...

You didn't answer my question. Where does it say all are the elect? See your post #33. You asked for more verses saying you are sanctified before you believe. Which I told you, I already gave you (2 Thess. 2:13) and you don't believe that. Now in post #39 you deny you asked. So, what...

I wouldn't say there is 'one' certain denomination. I believe the whole Church as represented on the earth in those last days will be as the Laodicean church. Both Roman and Protestant. You can see it in Protestant churches today. Stranger

Where does it say all are the elect? Elect is a distinguishing term, as opposed to those who are not. There is nothing to indicate all are the elect. The order is clear in (2 Thess. 2:13). 'chosen through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth'. The work of the Holy Spirit...
