    70% of all humans going to hell?

    With F for Faith In Christ and G for the Grace of God we ace Judgment Day. Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

    70% of all humans going to hell?

    Faith is a requirement for those in both OT & NT times. Gen 15:1-6 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." (2) But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go...

    The Shield of Faith/Ephesians 6:16

    I have posted this this summary of Spiritual Armour before, but it won't hurt to refer to it again, and single out the role our faith has in defending us from barbs that we are the targets of. The picture is of arrows or darts that have been dipped in tar or pitch and set alight. The rigging of...

    Don’t fool yourself into believing that one party or ideology represents Jesus more than another.

    Not voting at all is the only alternative. Government is a necessity which is ordained by God, so at least some good comes of having a means to keep law and order.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Every creature ever created will acknowledge the worthiness of those in the Godhead. Rev 5:6-14 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The point is your assertion about what Jesus said that motivated the hardened Jews to have Him crucified doesn't comport.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The Trinity is a term which describes God as One Being with Three States of Being. There are many analogies, not least water as one element existing as solid, liquid, and vapour. The original Greek of the Bible has this: Strongs G2304 θεῖος theios thi'-os From G2316; godlike (neuter as...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Likewise the Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is all through the Bible.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The word "Unitarian" is not in the Bible, therefore its doctrine is false . . . . if we are using such fallacies of composition.
  10. Stumpmaster

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, nor is the word "Bible", but they both still exist.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    And Nazarites/Nazirites Nazirite - Wikipedia Amo 2:10-12 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. (11) And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Some more verses that proclaim Christ as the Son of God. Even after His ascension the fullness of the Godhead continues to dwell bodily in Christ. Col 2:8-10 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    These verses might be difficult reading for those who deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Mat 3:16-17 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon...
  14. Stumpmaster

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The truth is that God the Father stayed alive in the Spirit while God the Son died in the flesh, to appease His Father's wrath: Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Joh 1:1 In the...

    The Death Of Christ Proclaimed

    1. The Death of Christ is Real: Planned by God (1 Peter 1:18-21, Revelation 13:8, ), Pictured and Prophesied (Isaiah 53:8-9,), Passover Provision (1 Corinthians 5:7, ), Payment by God at His own expense, forgiving the debt ( Matthew 20:28, Acts of the Apostles 20:28, 1 Corinthians 6:20,)...

    The Death Of Christ Proclaimed

    Years ago a teaching that Jesus didn't really die was being given some prominence, but at the time I wasn't having any of it and I'm still not having any of it. The Scriptures are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, that the person of God may be...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Did you hear about the clergyman's son who was getting another flogging from his father and asked, "If Jesus died for my sins why am I being punished for them?"

    What was Apostle Paul's outline he used when first presenting the Gospel

    I've always appreciated the phrasing in these verses: Paul's manner of going to the synagogue His reasoning with them out of the Scriptures His opening and alleging (explaining and demonstrating) the person of Christ. Act 17:1-4 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they...

    What was Apostle Paul's outline he used when first presenting the Gospel

    Everything recorded by Luke in the Book of Acts, and preserved in various epistles of the New Testament. Many scholars have published summaries of these which are available online.

    Treason against God/Christ the King

    If eating meat offered to idols offends you don't do it, and likewise if pledging allegiance to a head of state offends you, don't do it. But be aware that both are matters of conscience which are not prohibited in Scripture: Rom 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities...
