    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Agreed. Confucius AND Socrates both posited that we are to treat others as ourselves. All people will be judged against that universal standard. All who fear God and do what is right will be accepted by God. Peter says as much. Christianity is the new and living way that is according to...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    Jesus, as Yahweh, was co-creator with His Father...the Most High...also called Yahweh. Hence the confusion. Jesus was given Jacob for His inheritance. (As in...I am the God of Isaac and Jacob). The way the bible is written puts Jesus as being IN God...but lesser...although of the same name and...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    This bloviating of yours is tiresome and divisive...it projects your own inflated ego onto the forum with empty accusations that reflect your own dogmatic indoctrination. Just say no to toxic polarization.

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    Thanks for your comments. Yes, forgiveness is based on righteousness. And atonement is based on holiness. This is where we have to see the difference between what we do and what God does....each according to the power we have. We each have the power to forgive...to be merciful...to treat...

    No...not in a while. And glad you liked it! :)

    Forgiveness vs Atonement

    This video marks one year since we began this podcast. Please have a listen..and like, subscribe and comment on the channel. If this very simple principle could be understood we would see a rise in holiness in the church and a vast reduction in future judgment against those who are no longer...

    Is there a need for prophets in our modern world

    We have a lot of head knowledge but little heart. We need prophets more than ever to reveal the heart of God.

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    And yet...we have the teachings of Jesus in the gospels. When too much emphasis is placed on our ideas of what Jesus did for all men (as per Paul) and not what He meant to say to His own disciples (as per Jesus Himself)...well.. we tend to become self-interested consumers looking for a product...

    Are the words of Jesus still meant for Christians?

    If Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, I would say listen to the Father who said to listen to Him.

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Silly strawman. I'm righteous if I claim to be...and I'm not if I don't? That's about the depth of thinking that goes into that.

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    As in...how can we KNOW if someone who boasts of his own humility is really humble? All claims of being righteous are SELF-righteous. Who is saying it? What many here haven't yet figured out is that Abraham never claimed to be righteous. Neither did the Publican. Only modern believers have...

    What say you?

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    This is false and backwards. The only people that I see claiming to be righteous are the modern indoctrinated believers. It wouldn't dawn on unbelievers to claim that. And I am the one pointing out the self-righteousness in those who think their beliefs about Jesus somehow justifies them without...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Thanks brother! :) Please like and subscribe and leave comments on the youtube channel. (More shameless promotion) Did I just say that? :) Great thread...and constructive communication.

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    That's because they each concern a different category of person. Annihilation for the wicked. Damnation for the filthy. Salvation for the righteous. Glory for the saints.

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    How do so many modern believers resist the gospel of walking in the light? How many prefer the darkness?
  17. Episkopos

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Sure. IF that person can be reformed and corrected. God is MORE merciful than I am. The bible records how the wicked will never repent....or be reformed or corrected.
  18. Episkopos

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Yes, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God is also the author of life. Both temporal and eternal. We live a temporal life in order to ascertain whether we are suited or allow ourselves to be suited...for an everlasting life. Again, God is far more merciful than we are. That doesn't...

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    God will sort out the dead according to their kind. Kind of like sorting out a catch of fish on shore....as per the parable of the kingdom.

    Apokatastasis in the Bible

    Not at all. God is free to adorn His creation or destroy it. He is God...the Creator. We have no such right. God is not a man.
