    What are we really dealing with here?

    If you believe the Trinity doctrine to be true, then supply your scriptural evidence. Who's arguing about the length of the punishment we know that those deemed unworthy of life will suffer "eternal punishment" suffer everlasting death, that's not the issue here, what we're talking about is...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    First of all I’m not a Jehovah’s Witness nor have I ever been, so let’s get that out of the way. Now you state: Your claim that He was created is a complete denial of His being begotten. Scripture describes Jesus as being the "first-born" of all creation. This very text you quote implies that...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    The false doctrine of the Trinity The false doctrine of eternal torment as the wages of sin. The false doctrine of the immortality of the soul. These three doctrines are in complete opposition to the doctrine of the ransom.

    What are we really dealing with here?

    Nowhere in Scripture is it stated that angels are immortal, nor that mankind restored will be immortal. While, on the contrary, it is a quality which is ascribed only to the DIVINE NATURE—to Jehovah (1 Tim 6:16; 1:17), to Jesus in his present highly exalted condition, and to the Church, the...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    We accept Christ as our personal Savior, and that he died not only for the Christian, but for the whole world. (1 Tim 2:5, 6; 4:10; John 3:16) We accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God and study it in its entirety - seeking the harmony of the complete Scriptural testimony. (2 Tim 3:16...

    The Ransom, Part 2

    Continued from previous post. “Now the free gift (justification to life) is not like the offense. For if through the offense of one (man, Adam) many be dead (under condemnation to death), much more the grace of God (the gracious plan of salvation), and the gift by grace, which is by one man...

    The Ransom, Part 1

    “It was necessary [in accordance with God’s will] that man [should] learn obedience—not only to obey, but the importance of obedience. Man must obey not just because he is told to, but also because he WANTS to. This makes him free—the desire to comply rather than the constraints to comply. God...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    The scriptures state that we are to grow BOTH in the graces (the fruits of the spirit) AND in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The two go hand and hand it is impossible to grow in the graces without a corresponding growth in knowledge, and of course vice versa. This is why we have some...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    Just because one resides within the system (the apostate church) does not mean they are not saved. All men have been (past tense) saved from the original curse (Adamic sin), which was brought upon us by father Adam, this was paid by Christ by means of the ransom sacrifice, this of course does...

    What about Hell ?

    Sorry but as Barney stated the "breath of life" is not the soul, it is simply the power of life which comes from the source of all life. One more time let us walk through this, the scriptures are quite clear on the issue of the soul, i.e. what it is, and what it consist of. Gen 2:7, with...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    You are correct it was my mistake I fear in my haste to appease flesh I was untruthful to the Lord and his truth, I didn’t want you to be upset with me so in answering your reply I compromised the truth for the sake of peace, this was a mistake which has pricked my conscious all night and...

    What about Hell ?

    Please state the specific scripture where it is stated that God put a soul IN the creature, i.e. in a man, an animal or anything.

    What are we really dealing with here?

    Obviously you do require an explanation barring this post therefore I should like to explain. You quoted Eccl 12:12, I believe with the intent to substantiate your position that study is not the most important thing that as the text implies "to much studying is wearisome", this may be true to...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    I'm non-denominational I don't belong to any sect. Likewise if you had read what I stated correctly I said you were being deceived by the Antichrist, I didn't say anything about you personally being a part of the Antichrist.

    What are we really dealing with here?

    “Without any desire to treat lightly the opinions of others, we nevertheless feel it necessary to point out to all a few of the absurdities connected with the common view concerning Antichrist, that thereby the dignity and reasonableness of the truth on this subject may be properly estimated, in...

    What are we really dealing with here?

    It was in response to the quote you made on post #63 viz. "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12 It was NOT to be taken as a personal attack upon you my friend, merely a statement in response...

    Dispensationalism is it Scriptural?

    Not at all my dear sister, its easy to get the wrong impression about an individual and their beliefs when all you have to go by are few dozen posts. These alone are are not enough in themselves as they can be easily misinterpreted and lead one to assume something not implied.

    What are we really dealing with here?

    The Great Harlot (the apostate church) consist of more than just the Mother system (Catholicism) it likewise includes her “daughters” (Protestantism), therefore if you are a member of any of the Protestants sects you are still deceived, and even if you are not, if you hold to any of their...

    Dispensationalism is it Scriptural?

    In regards to the reference of my usage of the term "we" and "our" I (myself) am speaking as a Bible Student, that is those who believe in the Divine Plan of the Ages, this of course does not imply that all the brethren share the same opinions on every issue, all are free to believe or to...

    Dead? not dead? sleeping? praising??

    “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth...
