    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    How do you prove the book of Enoch comes under inspiration of the Holy Spirit? Just because Jude wrote under the inspiration of God does not prove Enoch also wrote under inspiration of the Spirit. Jude being influenced by Enoch's writings does not prove the writings of Enoch came under the...

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    Contradiction and confusion against the actual books that make up the Word of God that are recorded as coming to man by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, for which the book of Enoch and other non-canonical books the early church fathers determined do not.

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    Most likely part of the reason the early church fathers rejected the writings of Enoch as being inspired by God. To include the writings of Enoch as belonging to the written Word of God forces contradiction into the Word. Because God tells us that angels of God are ALL ministering spirits sent...

    THE BANNED PROPHET: EXAMINING WHY THE BOOK OF ENOCH WAS PURGED FROM THE CANON

    If Enoch never died, why do we read that all the days of Enoch were 365 years? It seems to question whether or not Enoch for the first three hundred years of his life walked with God, until AFTER he begat Methuselah at 300 years of age??? Genesis 5:22 (KJV) And Enoch walked with God after...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    According to the words of Christ the just shall stand before God at the GWTJ not in mortal/corruptible body of flesh, as the unjust shall, but clothed with IMMORTAL/INCORRUPTIBLE body of flesh alive through ETERNAL SPIRIT that returned with Christ. That is the why the just shall be present with...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Here you say it more plainly when you way "we will inherit eternal life" when we are bodily resurrected from the graves. Then you again make it clear that believers shall not have eternal life until we are bodily resurrected, saying, "our eternal life is secured at that point"! You doubt the...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Just because all of humanity shall be bodily resurrected in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds, does not mean those who have been born again; the just, shall also be called to stand before the GWTJ to be judged according to what is written in the books and the book of life. Those...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    As I've shown believers shall already be clothed with immortal/incorruptible body when the last trumpet sounds that Christ has come again. Clearly believers clothed in immortal flesh shall have no fear of the second death (LOF). Believers have no fear of the second death, because before death we...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Yes, this judgment comes to mankind while alive, before physical death. It is Christ, Who is the Word that judges mankind through the power of the Word. TODAY or NOW in this age of time is when man stands before the judgment seat of Christ, THE LIVING WORD! If through the power of the Word...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    This clearly speaks of the bodily resurrection of ALL mankind that shall be when Christ comes again. That ALL mankind will be shown just (faithful believers) or unjust (those remaining in unbelief). Those who were judged before death, judged worthy already bodily clothed in immortal flesh...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    The world is judged according to the Word (Gospel of Christ) believers proclaim. They are judged according to how or whether they receive the Word or remain in unbelief.

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Exactly! The passage tells us it is not the LIVING (all who have been born again), but the DEAD (all who continue in unbelief) who are called to stand before God at the GWT. Revelation 20:11-12 (KJV) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Don't you mean those who profess to be Christian, but in fact have never truly been eternally saved?

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    That's because you, like SI do not believe we are eternally saved. If we doubt eternal security (OSAS), then it is impossible to understand how we stand before the judgment throne of Christ when we are saved and have eternal life from that moment, being set free from fear of the second death...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Mary eventually physically died! How then could she or any other human besides Jesus be sinless since death comes from sin?

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    It was that part of the grave called of Old the bosom of Abraham that was emptied by Christ after He arose from the grave and before ascending to heaven first descended into the lower parts of the earth to set the captives of faithful Old Covenant saints free. Though physically they have died...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    Yes, the judgment seat of Christ is what all faithful Christians are called to endure in this life. It is the fiery trials we are called to endure as the spiritual Kingdom of God in heaven is being built through the power of the Spirit in us. The judgment seat of Christ is what every faithful...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    When Christians are called to stand before the Lord, what shall we be able to claim as our own good works that do not come from God working in us to both will and do of His good pleasure? Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will...

    The "sudden destruction" from which unbelievers "will not escape" on the day of the Lord will be caused by fire coming down on the earth.

    I agree. Since we have already been judged righteous through the righteousness of Christ, we have no more fear of the judgment that shall come that is the second death. It is in life that Christians are being judged. The purpose for this judgment of God is that we might grow in both faith and...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    True! Not only for Israel but for ALL without exception who, like them, continue in blindness and unbelief!
