    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    \ God created everything for his own pleasure. He did however destroy his own chosen people, yet saved some whom believed in his Son. I believe that God did choose a certain amount of people, for himself which were all people who chose to follow after his Son and continue to believe on the...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    Could it be possible for God to have used the Romans to destroy Jerusalem? Along with the tribulation of a terrible time for those of the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as those who suffered the wrath of Gods judgement and they didnt even repent then, before finally the destruction consumed all the...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    That doesn't answer the question, of what does 666 mean in corelation to a person who is deemed the beast, by John to the those in the 7 churches. Do you think they had the same thoughts you are expressing?

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    John would have wrote with intent, to share with them, the one whom had the name "the beast." Certainly there would be no fooling around, on his messages that were received at the churches of Asia minor, do you not think? Or was this some mystical statement, which just means the name "means...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    Surely a name can come about, who it is it?

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    What do you think the mans name is? This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    It seems like faithlessness is which marks the sin upon us though all sins are paid for. Without faith its impossible to please God. That does seem like a better style and the NASB is a handy bible, that does make those slight changes.

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    Turning towards not believing at all. While there are some who may quote the scripture it is impossible to turn them again to repentance, I believe that it is because it is an internal choice they have to make, and no one can convince them otherwise.

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    I believe thats a little more personal than freewill, it has to do with our soul (mind/will/emotions), a renewed mind and an circumcised heart is what is needed. And I would agree with what you have to say on the decision all have to make, is God exising? Or is God not.

    Sure thing, may you have a good rest of your night.

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    If you decide to look at it that way, that is fine. Many people have different world views, and believe that God will destroy this world, and that this world will be renewed, that they themselves, will see the Lord Jesus Christ coming the clouds, so on so forth, so many debates, and all that and...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    And what I mean by no more worry, @Truthnightmare, is that before I never did believe that hell was over with, that satan was still around, and I was always somewhat fearful of God, however I also did not look at him like a Father either. It's a wonderful experience when one finally realize what...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    There is nothing that can change my mind. Ever since coming to this view, and being introduced to it, there is no more worry like before. It's amazing to see that there is some corelation between the intertestamental of those in that generation. Jospheus wrote a lot of the destruction which had...

    The rise of the Image of the Beast, America corrupted.

    Okay. Thank you for sharing that with me, TN. Not at all. There are historical evidence for what Jesus had stated which happened when the armies surrounded Jerusalem, that would be pertaining to the last days, and the events in matthew, mark, and luke concerning the end of that age. It's all...

    Is this world your home?

    I believe that Jesus is the one whom sits now with his Father on his throne, and the rainbow having peace with the world now today, is established spiritually. From my perspective Jesus Christ has had victory over all things, and because of God in Christ, the Lord Yeshua, was able to reconcile...

    Is this world your home?

    Thank you for sharing your opinionated viewpoint in what you believe and hope for, though I see differently than you do, it's good that you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. If this world is done and gotten rid of it would stop new people coming into the...

    Dark earth?

    I believe personally that God created all things out of nothing. It doesn't say when these waters were created, perhaps they were leftovers of a prior dispensation of creation, can't say personally, however it seems that God created all things out of nothing. Just him being light, darkness also...

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    People can have troubles in life, and say to hell with all this God stuff, I prayed and prayed and he never got me through. It's not that they were not saved, but perhaps they had been lied to, or hurt by people in church and things like that. The bible talks about people who fall away, even...
