There are plenty who consistently refuse the prompting of the Spirit though the Spirit tries repeatedly to break through throughout their lifetime....and then there are those like Judas who abandon their hope and betray the Lord who saved them. The scripture collectively calls them 'The World'...

Are you familiar with the history of Germany in the 1930's Deb and how Hitler came to power?

Let's not forget to factor in the fact that many will refuse the life secured for them by Jesus, deliberately. They will refuse it not because it's not accessible or freely given but because of their own stubborn incalcitrance. God's unspeakable generosity is an affront to them. They insist God...

Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism? Ahhh, 'Universal'.....such a poorly qualified term! Does it include other creations not of this Earth? and does the generally understood 'theological' context muddy the waters so that those religiously inclined have plenty of...

....and so the people feed on what they love....all the while shaking their heads in shock horror!......as predictable as Newton's falling apple!

thank you lina

Hello to you lina. I have no idea what 'Laestadian type' means. Could you fill me in please?

I suppose giving your life is self defence?

cloaks and swords......hmmm.....and are they really to sell their clothing ? Buying and selling...hmmm 'I counsel you to buy gold tried in the fire'....Jesus.....The message to the Laodicean Church who thought they had it together but are described as pitiful, poor, blind and naked. Revelation...

The mainstay of labelling fronts as knowledge when in fact it gives its adherent permission not to think about challenging subjects.

If you do not know your reply above is a miserable out, now you do.

I concur with this.

Gossip Deb, is speaking poorly of another behind their back. It matters not whether the information shared is accurate or not. What it does do is encourage the macabre desire of the natural man to demonise those who one doesn't approve of as well as the lapping tongues of those who feed on it...

You sound so pleased!
