Your completely intolerant attitude toward others who don't share your opinion on what constitutes the nature of the Godhead, remembering that your opinion, based on the creeds, is only an assumption and not found in scripture. It even contradicts the atonement as I explained previously.

Armageddon if understood correctly is not a battle between nations, not is it a battle between God and humans. It's a battle between God's people and the rest of the world. And God's people are not armed with guns and knives fighting off hordes of atheist barbarian globalist socialist left wing...

God will do what He needs to in order to protect the integrity of His kingdom and His laws. He will do so with mercy and grace... No-one will suffer unnecessarily, not one judgement will be made arbitrarily, and love will be the guiding principle undergirding everything.

Nonsense. Being judged by our works is not the same as attempting to be saved by them. We all know we can't be saved, that is justified, by works. We can't be saved or justified by obedience to the law. Everyone knows that... The scriptures declare it loudly and clearly, and the protestant...

That's what I was saying. False equivalence. You are making two unrelated principles mean the same thing. Attempting to earn ones way to heaven through "works" is a very different kettle of fish from obedience wrought as a result of the gracious work and power of God in ones life. No argument...

Lol. What does scripture say? Answer. We are saved by grace through faith. What does scripture say? Answer. We are judged by our works. Why do you ask if we are saved by our works?

Don't know how it happened, but those quotes attributed to me aren't mine. I haven't contributed to that particular thread.

Can you explain how anyone can "work their way to heaven" while resting on the Sabbath? Perhaps you might also explain how one can make Christ Himself his Sabbath rest, when Christ Himself blessed, sanctified, and made holy a specific day to signify not just His rest, but a deliberate devotion...

I accept your criticism. I had read the thread right through and contributed previously, so I wasn't posting from ignorance, but perhaps you are right in that I was being harsh in relation to this particular thread. My comments however in general regarding the issues surrounding...

It's got nothing to do with whether they are Jehovah's witnesses or not. We aren't judged by what we believe. We aren't judged by the doctrines we subscribe to. We are judged by our works. And I could cite numerous passages of scripture which inform us clearly as to what works are acceptable and...

Thing is this. I find it highly inappropriate and likely offensive to God to downgrade obedience to God's Commandments as a veiled insult in designating it as "works of the law". There are many many Christians who obey God's Commandments because that for them is now the natural thing to do...

Let me offer you a few scriptures about what God, through His Spirit, inspired the apostles to inform us what we should believe in order to receive eternal life. KJV 1 John 1:1-3 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked...

Well, that's really fascinating. Because nowhere in post#68 did I say anything for or against the Trinity. In fact, it was a response to your question as to what denomination I belong to. You didn't read it did you.

And how do either of those posts of yours reveal how In post #68?

What specifically? I said a lot of things in that post. It's very easy to sit in your lazy boy chair and pronounce, "you're wrong" , while the government lights the funeral pyre under my feet. Of you really cared about my welfare and eternal destiny, I would have thought you would testify to how...

This forum does not have to conform to your church's man made dogmas. It isn't a Catholic forum.

In early Christianity, the beliefs that were held concerning God and Christ were very simple. God the Father was said to be the source of all being (unbegotten) whilst Christ was believed to be the only begotten Son of God. The letters of John particularly...

Given the backing, the means, and sufficient ego boosting I have the potential to become the next tyrant.

I think that true children of God, the ones genuinely empowered by the Spirit of God, do good because it has become inherently natural. Of you do good works too earn heaven, it's selfish and unnatural. If you're doing good to look the part, its selfish and unnatural. If you're doing good because...

Being one of the above, or not, a Christian does not make. A Christian is he who has received the power of God through the Spirit of God that he/she might become a child of God. That power enables one to live a sanctified holy life and causes him/her to grow in his relationship with God, each...
