I refer you to the rules of the site. While this isn't a Catholic only site it also isn't open season on them here. The same goes for other denominations.

That isn't what Acts 1:11 says. Speaking of coming down and going up, should Zacchaeus have refused Jesus as his guest and asked him to climb the tree also?

You mean like that one guy that was here a few months ago? He magnified Christ and then elevated himself to equal status telling people to believe in he himself for salvation. People will look many places if they are thirsty for God, and they will find him. Question is what will they do...

I don't know about that, if they actually desire to work against the Spirit I see no hope for them. This isn't succumbing to temptation like other sins, it is a willful turning away.

To be continued... I hope.

John 3:6

What in the world?

I am not a stickler for people believing the Trinity. I consider the early church and even the apostles learned of the nature of God though they didn't put a name to it. They all started by believing there is one God in heaven. I'm sure they thought the cloud over the Arc in the temple was...

The new creation is a real creation, not a frame of mind or something like that. It is incorruptible and imperishable. 1 Peter 1:23 Since the perishable is unable to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, an imperishable new creation is necessary to enter it. 1 Corinthians 15:50. You said the...

Theology is where most put their Trinity topics. The Trinity discussions never end.

How long does it take for the annihilation to complete following the judgement?

When someone is born again they are a new creation. They are born of water and the Spirit. John 3:5 So where is this creation? Is it saved? Has it been resurrected? Is it going to heaven, or already there? Is it the whole you, is it part of you? Does it have a form, will you ever see it?

In John 5:37 by the context Jesus is addressing every human or a specific group? Is there a reason why he said they never see his form or hear his voice? "And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell...

Since I'm not supposed to rely on the leading of the Spirit I flipped a coin. It landed heads up in your favor, so you can stay. Actually if it landed tails I wouldn't have said anything about it, because we have the Holy Spirit and should be able to make sound judgments. 2 Timothy 1:7

There are some immature Christians that have the Holy Spirit, but still have a ways to go. But then there are those who come here and do not have the Holy Spirit. Sometimes they keep it hidden for a while, but eventually it becomes more and more evident as they engage in conversation.

His ministry changed after the Jews killed him. I can think of no clearer way to convey rejection than to kill them. What did they say before Pilate, "his blood is on us and our children." Jesus also said: "But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation."

Lets talk about John 8:13-18

If not Joseph what about other children, was the young Jesus feared?

Disillusioned Christian would be a better title then, but it's a bit long. I don't think a proper understanding of heaven is essential, as it isn't our meager intelligence God wants.

I take that as Jesus' intention during his ministry, but after he was rejected his invitation was expanded to include the gentiles.
