    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    The difference between the filthy and the righteous is that, although both are unclean from a holiness perspective, yet the righteous are honest and humble. Knowing this, read the thread and discover what prevalence the modern church bent is towards filthiness with its lack of honesty and...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Nonsense. If you had any reading skills at all....and you don't read Hebrew at all.. you would see that using definite articles are for a specific thing apart from all others. Heaven and Earth are not one thing but two. In the bible each is treated with a definite article. I posted 4 destinies...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    This makes no sense at all. You have the righteous being the same as people who claim to be of Christ, but are filthy. I think you might need even more colours to see these distinctions....not less so. What you claim is an insult is not even enough to get you to see your error. So should I be...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    There are other such verses in the bible but you would have to read Hebrew. רְאֵ֨ה נָתַ֤תִּי לְפָנֶ֨יךָ֙ הַיּ֔וֹם אֶת־הַֽחַיִּ֖ים וְאֶת־הַטּ֑וֹב וְאֶת־הַמָּ֖וֶת וְאֶת־הָרָֽע: Behold, I have set before you today life, and good, and death, and evil, For those who are challenged with a lack of...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    For any with some understanding....what is the difference between the righteous and the filthy? Well, imagine a man with muddy boots coming into your house any time he wants and basically turning the inside of your house into a barn. Wouldn't you call that man filthy or unclean? Now what about...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    This judgment is for honour, The naked are shamed and vessels of dishonour, Those who are rejected from the kingdom are cast out into the wilderness of outer darkness. There are walls around the New Jerusalem...to keep out the pretenders. No one who believes and promotes a lie will have access...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    That is one cut....the first cut. Read the parable of the wheat and tares....carefully. There are two cuts. Those who have been granted life are judged for honour or dishonour, for blessing and cursing...for holiness in the holy city and for the saved of the nations. You can't stop at one...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Other proper dualities into eternity include: 1. The saved of the nations and the lake of fire (GWT judgment). Based on the life and death perspective found in the Book of Life. 2. The holy of the city and the filthy outside the gates (Bema). Based on being written in Jerusalem as holy with...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    For those who have reading skills and some honesty...notice the duality of heaven and earth that comes from the bible. And yet a false duality of heaven and hell persists. Just like the Pharisees of old...a tradition of men cancels out the truth. Here is a challenge. I will state a few verses...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    A person with a two dimensional outlook will only see two dimensions. But that doesn't mean that reality is limited to one's perception. It takes the gift of faith and spiritual sight to see in four dimensions. The same goes for limiting the bible to two destinies. Although one has to ignore...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    The "traditional"...or based on the traditions of men framework...comes from Islam. Heaven and hell are not a duality found in the bible..but in the Koran. So the influence is there. Also pagan religions also have become part of the "tradition" of men concerning Christianity. The bible speaks...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Yes, an initial salvation...or first cut. saved FROM the world. The first step in a race is at the starting line, not the finish line. This is at the Bema seat judgment...for the house of God. There are 2 resurrections. And there is both a good outcome and bad outcome in each. 2x2=4. So you...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    You are trying to close the barn door after the horse has already departed. The deceit is IN the modern message. You have already fully accepted the lie. If we love God we are to obey Him..not just accept Jesus as OUR personal sacrifice. The devil is mocking the gullibility of humans by a false...

    Paul's hypocrisy and its consequence

    Remember how Jesus told His disciples that He was going to Jerusalem to die...and Peter said...NO...this cannot be. Even though Peter loved Jesus and thought to protect Him....such was not the will of God. Instead Jesus rebuked Peter. So then knowing one is about to be arrested is NOT a good...

    The 4 Eternal Destinies of Humankind

    Evangelism: Do you go up to someone on the street and start talking to them about the nature of the kingdom? Do you teach an involved subject like algebra to any passerby? No, people don't become Christians that way. People are challenged to "make a decision" for Christ....or else they are...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Look, I've tried explaining this to you so many times. I'll try another colour. I have said that being under grace brings a new level of expectation from God. Can a motorcycle compete at the tour de France? Why not? So you are asking me if a motorcycle goes faster than a bicycle??? Do you...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Not according to Paul...or the bible. Each has its own level of the gospel to fulfill or obey. You are not making any distinction between covenants. Have you read where Gentiles at this time, the wild branches, can be as easily cut off as the original branches were in their time. Each...

    Perseverance of the Saints is different from Once Saved Always Saved

    The blood of Christ is not for later but for now. Don't buy into the Nordic after-life version of Christianity. The blood of Christ cleanses from all sin right now. Have you ever heard the song that goes..."there is power, power, wonder working power, in the blood of the Lamb?" The blood of...

    Are Thankfulness and Generosity key to a Blessed Life?

    Amen. Freely you have received...freely give. God loves a cheerful giver. :D Giving thanks now leads to an eternal giving of thanks.
