I agree, of course the gains of a relationship with Christ and gift of eternal life far surpass the losses and tragedy of spiritual death. How many Christians are sealed? Don't know, but 2.65 billion claim to have faith in Christ and I believe the remnant to be saved will be in that...

I am neither a JW, nor SDA, it's just the concept of eternal hell has never made sense to me, so much so that it inspired me to write a book on the subject; but then only devoted two chapters to it. That was enough. It has a nice ring to it: "Hell ... If I Know". Don't bother - it is out of...

I agreed with you up to this statement. To perish means to die in your sins, also implies destruction. 2 Peter 3:9. If God desires that none should perish but judges that they will, that means lost soul with perish/ die in their sins. So you need to really define what spiritual death is aside...

It is a good topic for several reasons. 1. Eternal Hell has always been a stumbling block for un believers. The common argument: "I can't believe in nor worship a God who would create an eternal torture chamber." That is a fair objection, an impossible task to overcome without the Grace of God...

Welcome, I know it's unorthodox and so I won't press it. Just food for thought.

I used that translation just to show a difference in the numerous translations. Every person's age is different. Every judgment is proportioned to the an individual's sins. Eternal Life we see now during this age. The spiritual realm is outside of time so that is a given. We have it now, then...

It was meant to provoke. The point is, our peace and joy will be perfect. If such a place existed for eternity, then our memories of all evil would have to be erased since we could not bare the knowledge of billions suffering. OR the more likely scenario is that it just plain won't exist. This...

Nope. Anionios has variable meanings. It should be translated as age-lasting or age-during when pertaining to our physical realm. Maybe you missed my previous post #106 or ignored it. That's understandable, the traditional view by both Catholics and Prostestants is that Hell is eternal. But...

"Anionios" is the key word. It has variable meanings and I can give examples, but for now, let me expound on the following: If anioios is used to describe God, His domain or our salvatiin (in a forward direction) it means eternal. If it is used to describe our temporal physical realm (the...

NOT BULLYING, CORRECTING YOU. OKAY THEN.

Lol and you teach pastors ... oh boy!

@1stCenturyLady Again, the WORD is from God, and these particular epistles are given to Paul to Timothy to address all. "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope, To Timothy, my true [a]son in the faith: Grace...

" All Scripture is breathed out (inspired) by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Tim. 3:16-17 I have to believe that. Otherwise, myriads of doubters in disbelief...

That is an expression that my Mom used (a classic feminist from the 70's) because all her life, she rebelled against submitting to a man, " I won't be under a man 's thumb. she'd say!. She left a great guy to try to fulfill her lustful desires with younger men that she could control - but it...

Not audibly, but, itnis kind of an unction or intuitive suggestion I ought to go this way or to do or not to do something. That is an inner guiding voice, the same one that called me, confirmed me and when I feel His presense, He brings scripture to my remembrance and directs me in assisting...

Absolutely, I did differentiate the two. "Spiritual compartment" is a phrase used for the reader to distimguish the location of God within us. As the Most Holy Place was the area in the Old Temple where God dwelded that was separated by a veil, so it is with the New Creature, the Temple of the...

That is where you err. "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thes. 5:23 They are all highly integrated ... "we are fearfully made"! However, if the soul were the...

Yes, my words sting sometimes. But hey, the scripture is there. It's always interesting when a scripture dies not conform to your belief system, one tends to nullify it, distort it, or say that is not applicable for today as you did. I am happily married, to that very woman who I described, a...

You sound like a woman who was influenced by the Women's Lib movement and that fleshly part of you remained - 1 Tim. 2:11-14 is for today and all time, has been since the fall. To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you shall deliver children; Yet your...

Twisting and distorting what I said. The spirit and flesh are separated. God lives in our spiritual compartment, but we still have the flesh where sin dwells. We were freed from it's bondage, our spirits are clean, but sin still dwells in the members of our flesh and that is our soul. You cannot...
