    Why Evil Was Permitted and Related Topics, Part 6

    C.--Was everlasting life one of the things possessed by Adam before he sinned, and which he lost in death; and is it to be restored to mankind through Christ's ransom? A.--YES; his continuance of life, if obedient, is implied in the threatening of death if disobedient. Adam, when created...

    Why Evil Was Permitted and Related Topics, Part 5

    In our last post the question was asked by Brother C. as to, How the life of one could purchase the life of many? A.--By the rule of SUBSTITUTION Rather than try each individual separately (the Lord knowing that they would all fail eventually for the very same reasons that Adam failed) chose...

    In the world, but not part of the world, Part 2

    “Our citizenship is in heaven.” (Phil. 3:20) “Ye are not of this world.” (John 17:14) “Set your affections on things above and not on things of the earth.” If we have changed our allegiance from this world to heaven, we are aliens and not citizens of this country, and should claim and use only...

    In the world, but not part of the world, Part 1

    A brother writes: In John 18:36 our Lord is recorded as saying “My Kingdom is not of this world”; we take this to mean that the consecrated have no part in the affairs of this world, as it is not our time to do so. When the Church is complete (head and body) then we will meddle in the affairs of...

    Wisdom’s Voice, Part 3

    In our previous post we took a look at the “Simple Ones”, simple ones were simply naive, unlearned those complacent with ignorance. Now let us consider our next group, “scorners.” Scorners (or mockers) are outwardly critical of others and they find fault when offered good advice. Scorners are...

    Wisdom’s Voice, Part 2

    As mentioned in our previous post there are three failing categories mention in our text: “Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city (of Christendom) She speaks her words: “How long, you...

    “Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city. She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.”...

    Universalism: Where Do People Get The Idea

    Apology not necessary my sister, I surmised that I may have not worded my opening statement very well and this caused you to stumble (thankfully but for a moment) felling to read the whole post which would have explained better what I was trying to say. We all do this at times, i.e. judging a...

    Parables

    Most certainly even as our Lord forewarned there would be. (Matt 24:11, 24) The Apostle likewise warned us of such, saying “grievous wolves” would enter the flock disguised as sheep themselves (posing as messengers of light, of truth), and would not spare the flock (Acts 20:29-30).

    Universalism: Where Do People Get The Idea

    There are no direct scriptural statements saying such, but nevertheless it is still true. Justice is the foundation of God's government, and his love could not operate in violation of his justice. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; Mercy and truth go before your...

    B.--If death is the penalty for sin, has not mankind paid that penalty in full when dead? Might he not be released from death the moment after dying, yet fully meet the demand of justice? A.--"The wages of sin is death,"--not dying, but "death" -- FOREVER. As well say we might say that a man...

    Why Evil Was Permitted and Related Topics, Part 3

    B.--I begin to see a harmony and beauty connected with the introduction of evil which I had not suspected. May we not reasonably say that God could not have displayed those qualities of his nature so attractive to us--mercy and pity--nor could his great love have been made so apparent had not...

    Why Evil Was Permitted and Related Topics, Part 2

    A third brother now joins the discussion, Brother C. C.--Brother A., may I interrupt you here to ask, Why, if it was proper and wise that Adam should have a trial under the most favorable of circumstances, as a perfect man, should not all his posterity have a similarly favorable trial? We all...

    "To make all see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God." "Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in...

    Well said, the Old Covenant is still binding upon the Jew still to this day, that is upon all those Jews who have yet come out from beneath it's yoke by coming into Christ. As for the Gentiles they were never under it in the first place. The only active covenant at this time besides the Old...

    It's good to see you are a "thinking" Christian Willie, that you are using your God given ability to reason things out for yourself, and not just blindly accepting the established dogma propagated by the nominal church.

    Universalism: Where Do People Get The Idea

    Everyone will be given the opportunity for eternal salvation (if not in this lifetime in the next), for God will have all men to be saved (from the Adamic curse or sentence), and to come to an accurate knowledge of the truth, that Christ Jesus by the grace of God tasted death for every man who...
