If we showed you, I doubt you’d abandon your indoctrinated theology. Frankly, it is VERY obvious from Scripture there is this structure and it is presented in many ways. Paul talks about milk in comparison to meat. What is that all about? Progression. Hebrews compares Moses inferior to...

How do you reconcile this with be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect? Matthew 5:48

I recently posted a similar observation about many in Christendom; the forgiveness of sins is taken as a given and ritualistically so - not treated with profound gratitude or reverence, as you say. Very sad.

You do know that drinking His blood is metaphorical, right?

Exactly right! I am ashamed so many Christians think it’s all for lip service.

I wonder why then is Christ to dwell in us; so we can bear no resemblance of the Lord we serve?

@Grailhunter, I don’t always agree with @Episkopos but seriously, blah, blah? We can engage in more respect discourse that that. I too reject ECT as unbiblical. It is the fire that is eternal, not the torment. The wages of sin is not ECT but death.

Agreed. ECT is incompatible with a just God.

The self-righteousness is strong in you. Why do you think it is your place to say such things and make definitive proclamations of another’s salvation? You never answered my question below. There seems to be no grace in your posts, no giving Dolly the benefit of the doubt. If it looks like a...

That’s a good point and I believe understanding what my Bible Study leader observed; over and over again, the Bible says don’t go too far left or too far right. This is what Jesus meant when he referred to the narrow path. The devil can get us either way, thinking too little of ourselves OR...

In practice, you are denying the future tense event. Just last night reading Hebrews, it spoke of someone having to die for the inheritance to be given. It is in effect but not yet distributed. An easy to understand concept IF one is not indoctrinated to confuse normal language usage but imbues...

Nope! It's just we know who butters our bread. Faith completes grace. Grace does not extend to universalism. I think you agree in theory but not practice due to being indoctrinated.

I’ve heard this from many people, including pastors in sermons make this claim. What do you believe and what makes you believe it since it is not explicitly stated in Scrioture? At the same time, I‘ve observed Christians mock JW for naming the precarnate angel, Micheal.

How is “Islamophobia" confused in the article with racial prejudice?

What a class act. Before Patrick Swayze passed away I was not a big fan. When he passed I asked my wife if you EVER heard anything bad about him? Sure, he was not my favorite actor. His roles were not my favorite. However, work is not the measure of a man. The same can be said of Dolly Parton...

Marks, I’m very glad you started this thread. Many seem to develop this whole doctrine about Judgment Day from one translation while other translations render it much more mundanely. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Complete Jewish Bible So we are always confident — we know that so long as we are at home in...

Yup. You said that but the bulk of your content said otherwise. Why can’t you just be appreciative that our sister in Christ fought the good fight, lived a Christian life and ran the race to the end and pray she finds comfort now in Christ’s arms?

Jesus says nothing of the kind! The way yours posts read, prophecing, casting out demons and many wonderful works is an accusation rather than evidnece of a true believer. Nonetheless, you are not crediting Dolly with these things but “crediting” or accusing her of singing Gospel music their...

Came across Hebrews 9:28 Christ will appear a 2nd time to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Seems the OSAS has the process flow backwards compared to what Scripture teaches.

One wonders what your standard is and why you assert the power to invoke a standard AS IF you are God. And We do not place her anywhere, heaven or hell. That’s more hubris!
