Resurrection expected. Millennium rule on earth expected. Christianity has embraced spiritualism. No surprise when relatives long dead start walking the streets. An angel of light counterfeits the second coming. A perfect storm has much of the Christian world speaking intimately with demons...

And the paucity of any other avenue by which to prove his point.

Believe Jesus... Or experience. I believe both. My experience is His doing as a result of believing His promises. I look back on my experiences and see how well and faithfully He has dealt with me in the past, thank Him for His providential care, and use those experiences as a strengthening of...

Like the comment I made to my wife the other night. In a movie a woman arrives from climbing stairs complaining that having to climb 19 floors was hard work, and not to give her a hard time, speaking to another off camera. Behind her a window showing parked cars in amongst trees. My wife hadn't...

It isn't a moral issue. Not is it doctrinal. It's about keeping a clear separation between ourselves and the world. So those male youngsters in your church you would have us use as an example? Who was their example?

And with deceit, cunning, and flattery you continue to encourage the degrading of mankind through your sophistry. You are not representing Christ here, but His arch enemy. Who are you? What do you hope to gain by dragging Christians into a love for the world and it's vain attractions? Are you a...

Thanks for the quotes above @BarnyFife , what a pleasant change to read an inspired beautifully written treatise on the topic.

Lol

I think we could be highly entertained bya thread exposing the "English" explanations/directions/ instructions/advertising on packaging originating in China. I am sure they try hard, but there's that "lost in translation" that manages to sneak its way in there so often that has us all either...

That's an interesting quote. I presume that the highlighted bit are those that you wish to bring to our attention, so let us deal with them shall we. First, I assume the reason you quoted that particular verse is because you think it defends your position that God is A. intending to torment...

The answer to the above is found in the OT sanctuary service in the events peculiar to the day of Atonement. The DoA is the type of the coming final days. Christ as High Priest is now officiating in the heavenly sanctuary, the anti -type to the final solemn day of the Jewish calendar. When He...

Indistinguishable from those whose humanity we despise, yet praise because God expresses it so sublimely through eternal torment. As if the worst of us fell short in expressing godly justice in allowing criminals to actually die.

And not once did actually address my post... Just a declaration of your own intelligibility and an insult. See ya.

Definitions... Original sin... Sin as nature. Definition A ..We are not guilty because we are lost, or because of what we say, or do or think, but because of what we have inherited. Thus we become a sinner because we are born. We make sinful choices because we are sinners by nature. Definition...

Word games? Is that what we are doing here? Okay. Let's get serious. You say sinners will live forever. . Show me from scripture where God gives eternal life to sinners.

I have absolutely no hesitancy in wanting to promote God as He is. Consistent. Merciful. And not just loving, but love itself. Everything He does is motivated by love. Tell me. How does eternal torment reflect love? Like this one....? KJV Malachi 4:1 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall...

Every time I come back it's grown 5 pages.

Sinful flesh... Fallen flesh... Or both. Either way, it had to be the same as ours. Otherwise it alters the gospel.

Yes. Here's a quote from Desire of Ages... In every gentle and submissive way, Jesus tried to please those with whom He came in contact. Because He was so gentle and unobtrusive, the scribes and elders supposed that He would be easily influenced by their teaching. They urged Him to receive the...

Mmm. So tell me. Is the beast an individual person, and what beast is being referred to here? And is the false prophet an individual person, and who is that? And the devil? Well sure, he gets burnt alright. And it destroys him. So he's not lasting forever and ever and ever is he? KJV Ezekiel...
