    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    To renew our mind is to read the word, therefore perhaps opposing what the wisdom of the world teaches is similar to tyranny? Is the tyranny our own selfish ambitions? James 3:13-18 New Living Translation True Wisdom Comes from God 13 If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Sorry, @face2face, not getting into the topic that is not addressed here on the thread. If you want go teach on the revelation, please go do so in another thread. This deals with specifically if God is sending people to hell or not today. (Pertains to the lake of fire, hell) Thank you.

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    I simply believe God is a consuming fire, and the fire comes from him... that is the lake of fire. If he is not a literal being, then perhaps it is all just symbolic that would be my reasoning. Where is that lake of fire? In front of the angels and the Lamb, what people take from it is up to...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Thank you for sharing what you believe, for me I believe Jesus had victory over the second death. Not so sure that Gods will is to have any to perish when it comes to human beings, my encouragement is for people to while they need to view all of the Revelation, they also need to take in...

    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    Wrangler, what does that mean, about scriptural justifications? From my understanding, it's the Constitution that holds the value of allowing personal freedom in the sense of allowing people to have individuality. I was never well studied in Economics class or gave much interest. I do know that...

    Peoples Choices (Book of Samuel)

    Samuel judges Israel, by telling them to put away their idols, of Baal and the Ashtoreths, and serve the LORD only, and told them to gather all of Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to for the LORD for you. They did so, Saul came along, from the line of Benjamin, from a man who was named Kish, a...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    This will be your second warning. You are not someone who has any authority over any of the bible writings. Everyone must decide for themselves, and let the spirit guide them. I could be wrong in my view, but I don't believe that I am (everyone must decide for themselves.)

    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    Thank you for sharing. One Article doesn't mean much to me, not like the report of Jospehus and others on the King of Rome, Nero, and his great slaughter of Christians who I see as the antichrist and the beast. You may not believe that or you may believe that there is future prophecies to come...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    There is also a lot of truth too, have you ever read, that people have only a part of the lake of fire before?

    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    Then whats the point in the bible? Paul makes it clear, in these verse to submit to the governing authorities. Didn't Jesus say render to Caesers what is Caesers? He did all that didn't he? Wasn't Jesus the one whom submitted to his Father in all things? He came to bring forth a spiritual...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    While that may explain Revelation 20, it doesn't explain Revelation 21 or 22, that suggest there are people outside the City Gates of Heaven, friend.

    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    Do you believe that Jesus needed to submit to them, or did he submit fully underneath the Law of God, and he came as a King, and a Priest, and a Judge? Perhaps I don't understand what you are saying, some people are more of a higher intellect than myself. What do you mean? Still don't...

    Respecting Authority (many don't like this) - Even in times of Terrible Kings

    Romans 13 New Living Translation Respect for Authority 13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Going through 1 Samuel today, @face2face It's a real eye opener of the freedom that people have with their choices. God even says, "If they dont want me as king, give them a king." https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/peoples-choices-god-promises-to-kill-elis-family.57737/

    I choose by freedom to see how as I want too, just as you do.

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Was just asking the question to Strepho, if people are in the Lake of fire forever, or if they only have a part. I tend to believe in Age-during punishment, something that only last until a person decides to turn towards God, and I also believe that the Lake of Fire that comes from God, may be...
