Post 37. I answered this already. Seeing God is further confirmation of His existence; but you still need assurance and hope for everything else He said He would provide forever. The analogy you used, faith in a trip to Paris and once you are there you don't need faith is perfect. You just...

No debate, "we only know in part", this is just conjecture on my part or something else. I just like to turn over every stone in my path when I approach a topic. I was actually writing a similar post as Mailmandan, had years held this view; then something came to mind, a new insight and I...

The scriptures says "things hoped for". Don't you think you will still need faith in HIM to provide everything else in heaven? Seeing Him will be a wonderful aspect and experience in heaven, and we will worship and serve Him as well, but there's much more: loving fellowship with all, work, use...

Mailmandan gave the scholarly answer. J. MacArthur and RC Sproul have the same view, likely many others. I have only recently considered it a permanent fixture, a divine gift/ substance given that I want to keep, a part of Him. I always want that assurance ... eternity is a long time.

I used to think we wouldn't need faith or hope in heaven; since we would be forever secure, see and be with God. But God is faithful, it is one of His attributes. The promise of eternal salvation still requires faith for us even though we are there. Of course there would be no doubts about our...

The Bible says His feet will touch the ground and the Mt. Of Olives will divide. It says He will sit on the throne of David physically and rule - it's prophetic, it Covenant theology as well. Christians worldwide from all nations will annually travel to Jerusalem to visit and worship our King...

I.always thought that "turning the cheek" meant if you are slapped, don't take immediate retaliatory action. Restrain yourself, turn the cheek and let him slap you again. Restrain one more time - and that's it, just take a couple hits before you respond with a justified act of self defense...

@Angelina I am argumentative and confrontational at times; but gentle and reasonable most of the time - I think. It simply starts with a disagreement. Then pride on either side kicks in, emotions, etc. "One of us is wrong ... or both of us?" Each side holds their ground, won't give in - it is...

Also John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 12:32 signifies that when Jesus was crucified and was resurrected, He, for all future generations, draws all men to Himself. What does that mean? It is a universal call...

I said the context must include Micah 4 which flows into the next chapter where it briefly mentions his birth and mission. Even AI has more discernment than you: Micah 4 provides a message of future hope, promising the restoration of Zion (Jerusalem) as the center of worldwide worship, peace...

1. Wheels within wheels ... angelic appearances, yes - its Biblical. 2. Then there is this false interpretation that these angelic visions are beings from another planet - a quite impossible star trek to accomplish. 3. Then there are thise witnesses who have delved into drugs and have been...

In Micah 5:2, he is prophesying where Jesus, the Messiah and coming King will be born, ( a very important proohecy), but also His Millennial.Kingdom. Jesus Second Coming in Judgment and conquest in a much later time, during the Great Tribulation and Millennial Kingdom is the whole context...

You did not address the context of the whole passage. Sorry, the two witnesses described in Rev. 11 are not John the Baptist and Jesus IMHO. If you think we are just conforming to Churchianity, no, because there are many views of the Book of Revelation, uncertain prophesies unsolved yet. It's...

If scripture was cut off where you stopped, you could interpret it that way. But there is more to the passage. "And if anyone wants to harm them, fire flows out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These have the power...

That is right ... there is only one God, so why after emphasizing that over and over throughout the Bible would He say Satan is a god? Satan is the fallen angel, Lucifer. People would mistakingly assign this title to Satan because the "world system" is evil and fallen, but God is still in...

Proclamation has gone out to every nation and tribe. Missions and Churches have been set up and active everywhere. Not every person has heard the gospel nor would that ever be possible with 130+ million babies born every year. Key Global Evangelism Statistics Unreached People Groups (UPGs)...

That's not the gospel! That's a general truth with no specifics. "Things concerning the kingdom ... the name of Jesus ..."? I figured you couldn't deliver ... wow! This speaks volumes, you pontificate about the nature of God as if you know and you fail at answering a simple question...

I'm wondering if you know what the gospel is? Give it to me in one sentence ( or verse) please.

God does not desire anyone to perish, but He does have a plan - and judgment is part of it. The opportunity is certainly stool available to spread the gospel. But Matthew 24:14 just about has been accomplished.

Thank you, but I doubt it will persuade them. I guess we are just hoping to persuade any newborn sheep from going down that path if they happen to pass by.
