    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    Yes, but do be careful regarding the church wherein there are also false teachers foretold causing the believing of a lie and strong delusion. And it is also God's way to speak through any of His choosing, even by a donkey or a pagan king.

    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    What men may have meant for evil, God has meant for good. He alone has dominion and providence over His word--for His own purpose.

    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    That is false. The matter of restraint, is restraint from God, which is upon all who are born into this word from beginning to end. It is then also referring to the time when God will make manifest (reveal in this world) the enactment of His revealing the restraint being take away. In other...

    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    It is all the Word whether seemingly by one source or another. Those are all God speaking in His way. That has not changed--God has not changed. As for the church, no the body does not speak, but the Head. Those of the church, thus either speak of their own against the command of God to be...

    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    Paul did not decide what was and was not to be included in scripture, nor any man or group of men. He spoke of himself, that anyone who questioned what he was saying, was good to do so--for their own rational. But it is God alone who has decided what is His eternal word, which then came to be...

    A Challenge

    1 Cor 5:1-5 does not speak of those saved, but rather of those who are not yet repentant and in need of more tribulations under the reign of Satan, that if they are ever to turn away from their sin and be saved, they eventually will turn from it and declare it before God that He might save them...

    A Challenge

    These passages (above) do not teach that salvation can be lost. But rather that for the saved, works are either gain or loss to the purpose of the gospel--of good service or a disservice to God. And for the unsaved, their works will reveal them.

    A Challenge

    Brake, All (saved as well as unsaved) are raised up in the resurrection before God..."some to everlasting life and some to everlasting damnation." No "Christian" receives eternal damnation. But do understand that all who "follow" Christ and call him Lord are Christians. Like those who only go...

    Trump Struggling To Find Any Infrastructure Left In Indiana To Destroy

    Those are figures of speech...and of course the liberal media is twisting it all. The point is--Trump, and the Federal Government, have the power to help or hurt most states. But, by appearance, Indiana has nothing to loose and doesn't even seem wanting help. In other words, they are tying...

    Does God have a detailed plan for every single person?

    What we can "know" (as opposed to merely "believe"), given the best example-- is that God's plans even for Jesus were in fact known to Him and sure "before the foundation of the world" even began. Our understanding of what all that means--unfortunately--is clouded by the mystery of Time...which...

    All of Scripture DOES NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING that was to come.

    The scriptures (meaning what is written) is absolutely true and not to be questioned. It is all true, except leaning on one's own understanding, there is an interpretation problem, biblically referred to as "the teachings of men." That is where the test of every spirit is called for. As for all...

    Conspiracy Theories

    Wow! A man seeing children playing on the railroad tracks called out to them, "I hear a train coming!" Another in response, said, "I don't hear anything--let the children play!" The first man said again, "I hear a train!" A third person jumped, and said "You're just making that up--you weirdo...

    It is what it shouldn't be

    But you're missing the point, you don't understand. Those "consequences" are not what is, but what was. All of this is the consequence of what was before the world began--you caused all this--we all did. We are the seed that was planted in the earth by God after we chose this, and here we are...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    God speaking "in other words" throughout the scriptures doesn't mean he is not speaking of the same thing. An example would be Jesus's common use of "the kingdom of heaven is like" followed by a different example or explanation. "I AM" is Jesus showing his ID. And the third Woe is the woe of...

    It is what it shouldn't be

    True. I know what you're saying.

    It is what it shouldn't be

    That is like a tree full of leaves but no branches. Not likely or reasonable to consider as accurate. What's missing is those branches, not branches of "belief", but branches of known truth--which is the core of Christianity. Some of us actually "know" what the truth is.

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    That's not what I said. I didn’t call anyone a "crackpot" (your word, not mine). This world is not the world to come. The world to come is not time-based--meaning no "shadow of turning", and no night, no darkness. But the scriptures speak of both this world and the world to come (the new...

    Conspiracy Theorists in Trouble!

    No, all conspiracy theorists are not going to hell. I didn't listen long enough to fully know all of what he was getting at, but it is true that conspiracy theories can result in all the problems he listed at the beginning. In other words, to start a conspiracy theory on unfounded information...

    I don't know what it is, but I can't stand the idea of being 'beaten' by "Evolution" - Creation is *too beautiful* to be sidelined by angry naysayers!

    Yes, but as a fools errand, for Time too is created, an "image", and a mere illusion of this world. Time is the fall, and ends in death and destruction, if not for the salvation of God.
