Because Scripture says men die once then comes the judgment. Since being cast into the lake of fire is the SECOND DEATH, how can it not be final? How many more times will those in the lake of fire be permitted to live once and die again, and again, and again? Death IMO is death of the whole...

Why does Scripture tell us God chastens whom He loves? What is He chastening whom He calls sons/daughters for? Is it not to drive them to repentance for not walking perfectly in the Spirit as we should?

How is it not the final verdict since it is the SECOND DEATH that is forever? We must obtain God's mercy through the work of Christ before we die. Because after we die then comes the judgment? Judgment to the second death has no mercy for there is only unending death!

We need to read all of Scripture as a cohesive whole. If our understanding of any part of Scripture causes contradiction elsewhere, then our understanding is lacking, for the Word of God NEVER contradicts!

This is where you lose me. Christ came to pay for all sin that His creation too shall be saved through Him. Because all of creation came under the bondage of death through sin when sin entered into His creation. You confuse Christ saving His whole creation (world) with 'world' meaning...

Yes Christ came to save His creation, and those people living in His creation who believe in/on Him for everlasting life.

According to Scripture the dead shall be judged according to what is written in the books and the book of life. For all whose names are not found recorded in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire that is the SECOND DEATH. How is dying a second time forever not inference of a harsh...

Made free from sin? What exactly does that mean? Are you saying that saints, who have been saved by grace through faith and understand that, will never succumb to sin again? I believe we are saved from the penalty that came because of sin, which is death, but while I'm clothed in flesh that...

See Rev 19:11-21

Yes, and if we don't get who "this generation" is right, then much of the Discourse cannot be rightly understood. Christ cannot be speaking of His biological seeds because not all that is written was fulfilled in 70 AD. Some say "this generation" speaks of the generation of the devil, because...

If you can't remember what I've said and reply to what I've actually stated, I see little reason to continue. Where did I say Paul taught that unfaithful Jews were never Jews? Paul writes of two people (1) Israel of the natural biological seeds of Abraham (2) Israel of God, the supernatural...

Daniel 7:13-14 (KJV) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages...

I agree Christ was speaking to His disciples living in the first century AD. But rather than limit "this generation" to only these first disciples of Christ, I would argue Christ is speaking to His disciples from the first century to the last, because "this generation" is the chosen generation...

I think at least part of our misunderstanding comes because some don't understand that what was soon, near, even at the doors when Christ spoke these words was not Him coming again at the end of this age. Rather Christ was telling His disciples throughout this Gospel age that the Kingdom of God...

They cannot be separated because when we receive faith from hearing the Gospel proclaimed in the power of the Spirit, we will always believe in Christ and turn to Him in repentance. Unlike some who claim to have faith in Christ yet fall away. Their faith did not lead them to believe in/on...

Paul doesn't contradict himself. He proves that Israel in unbelief has never belonged to Israel of God. The only Jews belonging to Israel of God belong through faith not ethnicity. Not only are Jews of faith called Israel of God, but Gentiles of faith grafted together with them also belong to...

Philippians 3:21 (KJV) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. To be like Him even as He is our physical mortal & corruptible body shall become immortal &...

I wouldn't say the international Church is Israel either. Nor does Paul! Because Paul clearly tells us the international Church as it is on this earth is not an ethnic people, but ALL people of faith, believers called "Israel of God." That is not my opinion, it is the Words of Scripture...

But before you said a spirit body is like the body of Christ we shall receive. Which is why I quoted verses where Christ refutes your opinion. Why would our resurrected body need to be fit for the heavenly Kingdom of God since with our resurrected immortal & incorruptible body of flesh shall...

You have not shown the meaning of the words translated from the Greek. I have shown you how faith/believing cannot be separated, and I have shown you why. But you continue you to cling to what you have been taught rather than to submit to the FACT that none in darkness and unbelief can believe...
