Excellent post! I just have a few observations, not criticisms, just maybe things you should have emphasized and elaborated on. Maybe you'll agree. Some of it is conjecture because details are left out. You did mention that there was a "gulf" between Abraham's bosom and where the Rich man was...

Judgment Day is coming!

Yourm are not _ only _ teaching that. A true Christian realized that their ways didn't work, so they repented (turned to God) for forgiveness. This is a profound change in a person, to come to Christ in humility and ask Jesus to save them. This is an admission that they can't do it by...

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow Me; And I give to them eternal life; and they shall not perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." John 10:37-28. It is good to quote exactly what He said. He is the Word and so the more you paraphrase it in a teaching...

"The gospel will be preached to every nation ... and then the end will come." We have just recently accomplished that task. No other generation in history could make that claim.

You ask why we need Jesus to return? In our generation (70-80 years according to David in Psalm 90:10, we have seen Israel become a nation in 1948. After the Jews were scattered throughout the world over 1800 years ago, we have seen prophecy fulfilled, God gathered them and brought them back...

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me." Rev. 3:20 "Seek and you will find ..." He enables us to come. It is interesting though, the message goes out to all _ whosoever ...but only the...

I think there are extremes to proselytizing as you presented. Some forms are not really evil though, with good intentions but may be somewhat corrupt. The flesh gets in the way and wars against the spirit. Our efforts in life towards good are not always pure. Proselytizing people to Christ...

Remember the context of that scripture. Speaking of being double-minded, talking the talk but not walking the walk. Very simply, having put all our faith in Him, when we stumble and fall, He lifts us up. This happens all through our lives. That is different than being raised up on the last...

You just joined the forums recently and you see already insulting members and facing obvious opposition to your views on all fronts - just like in your first introductory thread. It would be wise at this point to stop and reflect, examine yourself - we can't all be wrong! I remember reading your...

"In Him" there is no sin. We are in Him, therefore, our spirits, cleansed, enter in Him and are pure. However, we still have the flesh and sometimes walk in the flesh. We actually experience perfection when the Holy Spirit works through us to do His will. During these moments when we witness or...

As imperfect as it may be, conflicted and apparently divided, the BODY of CHRIST is composed of all believers in Christ: Catholic, Protestant, Non-Denominational, even Non-Trinitarians. Those who put their faith in Christ and have been transformed, born again and follow Christ are in the BODY...

You are implying that this scripture somehow symbolically has something to do with our resurrection? This is applicable to a double minded person who needs to be humble and walk in the spirit, not in the flesh. "Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you." NASB "be...

Matthew was written primarily to minister to the Jews. It even begins with a genealogy, which was of great importance to the Jews. Although it has a message for all, these prophecies concern Israel. Matthew 24 discusses the end times relative to the Jews. These end time scriptures you have...

The Muslims have gone too far, they go everywhere like that. They certainly don't want anyone lusting after their women. This is the reason Nuns are covered up, hiding their beauty ... unless the hills are alive with the sound of music? Actually I don't want to appear shallow talking about a...

A woman's hair is part of her glory/ beauty. Since man is God's glory and a woman is "man's glory", we need women not to be a snare for men ... (too attractive as to distract men) during what is supposed to be a congregation with God, a spiritual experience. It is true. I used to attend a...

Romans 12:16 Colossians 3:13 Galatians 6:2 Loving one another; Being of one mind; Bearing each others burdens; Forgiving one another. The Church is the Body of Christ and we are all members as cells in an organism. Individual churches require these things of each other. We are accountable...

I am a Protestant, but I do believe Catholics are our brothers and sisters. I think when you want to rebuke or criticize someone for saying something, shouldn't you at least quote them accurately ... to be fair? Pope Francis says ‘sins of the flesh’ aren’t that ‘serious’ By Hannah Frishberg...

If you read the next verse which is _within the context _ you will understand the commandment. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them...
