Well it's long past time to grow up and face REALITY and leave our childhood view of life behind. The gospel is only good news to those who will receive it. But there is bad news for those who won't......because they will face the wrath of God....the wages of sin is death. Whoever said there...

Haven't you heard that God knows both good and evil? That HE created the destroyer to work havoc, and that I the Lord create both good and evil? His justice is not unrighteous, it is righteous. His wrath is righteous. He owes mercy to no one, but is willing to reveal it to some, to those He...

And just to add, if we get confused with one passage we can and need to look at others....because God's word doesn't contradict itself when we look at the whole counsel of God. The parable of the sheep and the goats is the same concept as the wheat and tares. Matt 25:31-46 Have a read. And...

Judgment BEGINS with His house....we all go through it, but those who belong to Him He has promised to be with us in the fire and flood. This is the chastisements of those He loves as sons........and who is without chastisement are illegitimate children. It is through much tribulation that we...

Ah no.....he was nail on the head Epi. It happens a lot, haven't you seen it? Just this morning a friend of yours just did it, classic example. He twisted the parable of wheat and tares to make it sound as though it supports his pet doctrine of universal salvation. Instead of loving the...

Uh-huh, so why are you bringing this up? Is that what we are talking about this morning? This is nothing but a deflection from what is being discussed, as per your usual method. And making it seem we disagree with things that we don't (in principle at least, though some of the details need...

Amen, well said brother. You are SEEING with crystal clear clarity.

The wheat are the righteous of course. Even a child should understand that parable. Or maybe ONLY those who have become as little children, because He has hid the truth from the wise and learned. Yes, when Jesus came He rebuked those who rejected Him and gave them a right scouring down, but...

No weapon formed against us will prosper, but sadly they themselves will fall into the pit they dug for others.

Yes. The gospel gets marginalized and downplayed here. It is not preached or taught or even affirmed, but gets completely sidelined. The gospel that the Son of the Living God suffered and died for. Something wrong with that picture.

Amen. And brother many can be so kind in so many ways to others, but then go home and do such things as terrorize and beat their wives and children unbeknownst to anyone. Are such going to inherit eternal life? How can anyone presume to be a judge that anyone is good or bad? That boggles...

As long as we do not put love before the truth. Charity/agape love rejoices in the truth. I wonder if it is not really "unconditional" as many say, but what it is, is selfless. I believe love must be according to truth, not apart from it. I have tried to call some out a few times who I saw...

How God will restore everything.....is by rooting out of his kingdom and destroying all the unbelieving and those who do wickedly, when once the time of His longsuffering comes to an end. As per the wheat and tares: Mat 13:36-43 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house...

Martha wasn't prioritizing the way Jesus would have her do.......and being a woman myself I'm guessing she was obeying cultural pressures concerning hospitality rather than putting that aside to be with Jesus. While Mary was waiting on Jesus the way HE willed and listening to Him speak...

I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that's it. They are all of God and the bible explicitly says Jesus is God come in the flesh, and so that puts that argument about the deity of Christ to rest as far as I'm concerned. I will discuss the deity of Christ, but I avoid arguments...

When I see a pattern of immaturity it tells me I better not drink the koolaid they are feeding on.......because it isn't doing them any good. The fruits tell the story.

Of course, but Epi is always assuming and accusing those who disagree with his doctrine, of being judgmental, when he has no idea at all....just judging based on who disagrees with his take on things. Oh well.

Their pettiness speaks volumes.

Yes, they are trying to re-invent the wheel and give it a new name and I've noticed that always spells trouble. Of course we are to listen to the Lord and wait on Him etc.....it's called prayer. Two way conversation with the Lord, because He is alive after all and His sheep know His...

Didn't you hear what I said?
