Oh my…

Say what??? :IDK:

I read the Holy Bible very frequently with this attitude. But this is referring to Christ’s ministry @Episkopos “In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.” (Isaiah 4:2)...

If we start entertaining the nuances of translations we’ll end up deep in the weeds of confusion.

These could all be speaking of the same book in different titles. Much like this one: “Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.” (Psalms 69:28) These written in the “book of the living” are righteous. There is no other book they are written in…...

Oh yes, I do remember reading about that once when I was gleaning some information on translations… But what’s the point in bring this up?

The Bible doesn’t tell us what they are. “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever…” (Deuteronomy 29:29) If I missed something in the holy scriptures regarding those other books please enlighten me.

What scripture do you base this on? This one relates well with it: “…when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be...

Yes, those found written in the book of life. The others will go into everlasting punishment in the lake of fire.

What do you make of this scripture? “…if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18)

Even those who died before Christ’s ministry had the gospel preached unto them: “…for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” (1 Peter 4:6) “For Christ also hath once...

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound” (Isaiah 61:1) When Christ returns those meek...

But, my friend, if one dies as a sinner (having believed or not) there will be no inheritance of the kingdom of God. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived…” (1 Corinthians 6:9) The lake of fire is their inheritance. And it’s permanent. What...

This is true. “He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.” (Acts 10:6) “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18)

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom...

Consciously fulfilling the wrongful desires of the flesh is very evil. Just think of the eternal things you put in jeopardy over temporal earthly things…

Only when you explain away the plethora of scripture that contradicts it…

The holy scriptures have been preserved all these centuries for reason! They contain vital doctrines for man’s temporal and Spiritual well being in avoiding danger and harm! To call it idolatry to love them and protect them is absolute absurdity! Especially when the author Himself commands us...
