Just a heads up. Faithwilldo is a Universalist. We can probably track thousands of posts arguing against his views - I gave up and so have many to reason with him. Universalism is somewhat a liberal theology ( held 2.3 % of Christians). This view obviously allows for everyone to do just about...

I never called sin good. Don't misconscrue my words. I said the knowledge of Good and Evil was necessary for man and that God's plan to include it was good. We are called to choose and learn the right choices between the two. We appreciate what is good more now than we know evil. No I did not...

Is His plan working? Is He in control? Yes. God causes all things to work for good for those who love the Lord, for those who are called to His purpose. So His plan included evil from the start. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these...

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane.

We discussed this "latter rain" theology back in April. Post in thread 'The Only Way We Will Ever Agree' The Only Way We Will Ever Agree I have received the Holy Spirit 33 years ago. I pray and like all Christians, God answers our prayers. He loves us, teaches us, guides into all truth, edifies...

Well, that is not what I've learned about evil. We learn to avoid evil and do good.

Christian theology teaches this in many passages too numerous to mention. Did you skip Christianity 101? It is basic stuff - reincarnation is a lie perpetrated by Satan.

I don't know where you get your theology - it's off. Rev. 19 is during the Great Tribulation. The church has been raptured by this time period in this chapter. Salvation, tue receiving of our glorified bodies and worship occurs. Jesus prepares for war against the unbelieving souls on earth...

Knowing evil is enlightening to what good means. We couldn't really know mercy, forgiveness, hope, faith, love, life or death unless we experienced their opposites. We could not appreciate God's attributes. It would be just ignorant bliss. And now we know, don't we? Why do think God put that...

Hold on! The Lake of Fire is for unbelievers, Satan and his demons. Born again believers have been given life. We are justified by faith. He paid the penalty ... so there is no Purgatory or afterlife purging of sins, Christ washed our sins away. We are in Christ, saved from judgment. The Lake...

I watched enough. Been around a long time. My family and I tossed these concepts around 50 years ago. They contemplated the similar mysteries as this doctor did and also came to the same conclusions. I did not buy into it. My mom, brother and uncle did as many do. But later in in life after...

He is deceived. Jesus said "there is one life, one death and then the judgment". Demons pass knowledge of people who once lived through their hosts, who have temporarily been in a hypnotic trance or even some have been possessed by them. Sure a person speaking different languages ( never taught...

Yes, all that is good comes from God.

God's good. All men are drawn to good.

I said drawn to God. And yes, Christ is God but prior to our knowledge of that ( for the first 4,000 years), did not God draw men to Himself? As I said in my last post, good has a drawing power. We are attracted to things that are good and right, just as we get hungry for food, we seek to fill...

It would seem that way, though in a broad spectrum, God's principles have permeated throughout this world. He has changed this world. Civilizations ( regardless of their religious beliefs) have been changed. These principles of truth and morality have been accepted and yet suppressed. In this...

To be fair, I think He does, otherwise Romans 1:20 could not state man is without excuse. The context of that passage claims that since the beginning man had knowledge of God, and His attributes were clearly seen in creation and within, and revealed to man; but man suppressed these truths, and...

You didn't comprehend my post, I just said that: >> IF any man was not drawn to God (and let's reiterate Jesus' factoid that "no man can come to the Father unless He first draws them"), Yet He draws ALL men to Himself. So And that is the point I made that man is without excuse ( Romans 1:20)...

Scripture says God draws all men to Himself. Obviously some resist and reject that calling up until death. God enables man to come to Him and he resists until he finally is persuaded or he goes the other way and lives in darkness. Romans 1:20 says "man is without excuse". Given all creation...

Yah, you and your whopping _ app. 2.3 % (Non-Trinitarian) of the 2.7 billion Christians. You are the specially gifted ones I guess. The Holy Spirit of Truth must have a problem breaking through the mental block of the rest of us?
