    The First and Second witness:

    Oh okay, Victory.

    The First and Second witness:

    Both are written by Paul? I don't understand the question @VictoryinJesus. Timothy was with Paul during the second writing, and Sosthenes was with Paul during the first one.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Jesus to the Pharisees and the Judizers I suppose was a rebellious son, @St. SteVen. Never a heretic. Matthew 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.” Thank...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    No you should put them to death. This is the authority of God... by Law. (I am being facetious; and I believe if your a parent you decide what you will do: calling the law may be a way to get her/him to really pay attention to his life) Deuteronomy 21:18-21 New International Version A...

    Why does God prevent many people from coming to faith in Jesus?

    Do you believe pride is still viable when it comes to partaking in the world - and nothing to do of your Father only unto your options run out and your eating pig slob? Some would just take the pig slob, and shake their fist at God.

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Yes. If I said they are all saved into the Kingdom of Heaven/God (Heavenly Jerusalem) right after death - then it would be universalism. _ Jesus never taught this in the Gospel. Universalism also includes satan, his angels, the beast, the false prophet. I disagree. Therefore while the...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    @brightfame52, This topic thought is about the Gospel plus nothing, it's best we stay on subject. Those things were foretold in the Gospel though, and Jesus Christ overcame all things for all people. There is just a distinction from unbelievers, and believers. Inside of the Kingdom, outside of...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    No. It is not universalism.
  9. MatthewG

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Saved from death, sin, satan and his angels, the false prophet, the beast, hades, the wrath of God poured out on Jerusalem. Yes. Saved to the Kingdom of God? Jesus never taught everyone would be in the kingdom of God after this life. No. More information? Why are faithless people claimed to...

    Why does God prevent many people from coming to faith in Jesus?

    The Masters word can be taken many ways @FaithWillDo.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I disagree with that @Wrangler. I see God as the only one in Authority. Save - Government. No one has spiritual authority but God. Take it or leave it but that is not an answer you would like to hear. That is the choice for human beings - partake in the tree of life - or leave it all...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Court is different. Paul talks about if you don't wanna get in trouble don't do bad things. Crimes, that have been caught up in to the legal system is something to thank God for. However, even when they get to prison, - if they go to a bible study - guess what condemns them? It's the Word...

    Abiding in Christ (11 Scriptures)

    John 15 - Speaking to his chosen apostles New Living Translation Jesus, the True Vine 15 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    No one should condemn any person what so ever, sometimes I believe it's okay to let people go, and allow them to do their own thing though, just as God had done. Still love them, of course however condemning them is something for God himself to do, and that is not for human beings to do. (Jesus...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Yes absolutely, otherwise Jesus is a failure. (In my opinion) - Which can be disagreed with, and will still love you.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Pride is also an issue, as well. Can't rule that out. That is why God is not willingly that any should perish but all should come to repentance, but when that is could be in this life, could be in the next life going through the lake of fire that burns it out. Don't know but that is the hope...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    Save his bride. Yes. Reconcile the world unto his Father. Yes. Do away with all things that put people in bondage (religion). Yes. Do away with Hell, SAtan, Sin, Death, False prophet, the beast. Yes. It is the great news. Yes.

    Abiding in Christ (11 Scriptures)

    John 8:31 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. John 15:4-7 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you...

    The Gospel Plus Nothing

    No. (let your yes be yes, and your no be no)

    Why does God prevent many people from coming to faith in Jesus?

    People can end up rejoicing in the way that the world sees, Jesus and no longer believe that the jesus of the bible is enough and they must do things themselves, and it leads to pride. They themselves do Jesus better than Jesus. Something else comes to mind is the interaction with Pharaoh and...
