Find a senior citizen and ask them to tell you their life story. You won't be bored for long. Besides which, you will make their day! I did that in Arizona when I first moved there. My next door neighbors were 30 years older than me, and I found myself spending hours over there every day!

As you see - context, context, context. Those there who were not his disciples did NOT accept Him. Keep your mind open to God's clues in His word. You will see as I did, that when God gave or gives it is about the apostles. Of course, your whole doctrine will crumble when you do, but that's what...

I have found that the verses that say "God gave" are talking about the apostles, and further in the same chapter Jesus talks of those who believe their teachings. Only the apostles were actually predestined in the way you believe, and those who accept their teachings are known to God through His...

However, none of them, water: solid, liquid, and steam, can be functioning as the others at the same time, so they are separate even in their oneness. That separateness of not working together does not make for a true likeness of God. Try mine: God said, Let US make man in OUR image.: Man has...

What comes after the lake of fire?

Revelation 20: 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. The lake of fire is the final hell. Hades is a place for the dead before their resurrections and...

There is no verse in scripture that claims that the fires of hell are for cleansing. ONLY the blood Jesus can cleanse away sin. You are talking like a Unitarian, and believing man-made myths.

No, hell is forever for immortal beings. That's the point - they are immortal; they live forever. The unsaved human is not immortal, nor is their spirit and soul. Adam's sin caused the death of them and the body holding them. Only when we are saved are we given eternal life. That is a precious...

Judas was called the "son of perdition" meaning "son of hell" I believe also the Antichrist is referred to as the son of perdition. I'm getting too sleepy, so I'm going to bed. If you haven't studied 2 Peter 1:2-11, it would be great for you to study to never stumble.

perdition is destruction. But just in case you do not believe that can happen to a born again Christian, I've already supplied you scriptures on the fact, that yes they can willfully sin enough to go back into the state going to perdition - destruction - hell.

You ask for scriptures to show you what is our nature. If you already know, then tell me what it is. Do you agree that it is our "old man" Romans 6:6 and that being our invisible spirit and conscience - our mind and heart?

Because you said: I'm sorry 1stCenturyLady. I really would have liked if we agreed on more things, but I can only agree with scripture.

You will have to read all scripture to find each part of salvation. It isn't found in one verse. What you added at the end is not the the correct interpretation. We have all these now through the power of Grace. You'll have to discern for yourself what is our nature. Hint, it is invisible too.

I agree and is what I already said.

Hebrews 10:26-39 read in context is about born again Christians who WILLFULLY SIN. You are basing everything on one verse about those who do not willfully sin as what is normal for a Spirit filled Christian. To be a student of the Word you must read in context.

Read 2 Peter 1:2-4. What is reborn is invisible, and cannot be seen. We are spirit, soul and body. The spirit and soul is where sin reigned, in our mind and heart/emotions. Those are reborn and become righteous. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. 16 we have the mind of Christ. What is left is visible, but...

Barn/Alan, If I remember right, they do baptize in the three names, but I think how they explained the divinity of Jesus and why I didn't know He was still God, was my church taught that Jesus gave up His divinity to become a human man in order to die for us, and even after He rose from the...

Short answer to the title of the OP Yes.

Yes. All of those chapter in the middle of the whole 8 chapter teaching of Law vs. Spirit had to do with before Christ about people before and after the law. (Abraham was before the law, and David was after the law. Imputed is not in 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin...

Hi Barn, you said, What is the SDA denomination teaching on this subject? I know I didn't know that Jesus was God until about 20 years after I left SDA. What do you believe about whether Jesus is God or not? Or do you just believe He is the Son of God and leave it at that? As I recall, they...
