    The hell exists in the space far above our earth, which can be seen only by the grace of God

    There is nothing authoritative about Jesus that is not written in the Bible. It reveals that Jesus did eat meat. Saying otherwise is an attempt to carry over traditions from another belief.

    The hell exists in the space far above our earth, which can be seen only by the grace of God

    By the context 1 John 3:6 is about continuing to sin. It is not saying that people are made righteous by their works. It is like the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. Someone who is righteous will do what is right. Romans 3 explains that no one is righteous.

    The hell exists in the space far above our earth, which can be seen only by the grace of God

    Is it a sin to be angry? That depends if we act on our anger and commit a sin, or letting it fester into hatred is also a sin. Matthew 5:22: "But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is...

    The hell exists in the space far above our earth, which can be seen only by the grace of God

    For the first paragraph sounds like pascal's wager. He was a scientist but decided it better to believe in God because the risk was only in believing he doesn't exist. But proper faith requires more than that me thinks. What is the proper response to deciding to believe in God. I wouldn't...

    What is Truth?

    The problem with approving correct conclusions drawn from incorrect premises is it validates the premise. it is best to address the premise directly. But it is impossible to address the premise, because the Bible is interpreted differently.

    What is Truth?

    Hmm, did you see my quote from skyangel in that post? She was stuff about judgement being every day, and denying the return of Jesus.

    What is Truth?

    And the father didn't say he gave Jesus everything to do that will ever need doing. So you take the Bible literally sometimes, Jesus has his victory in heaven already, Satan has fallen from heaven. JESUS said "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Our authority on earth stems from...

    What is Truth?

    No, Jesus didn't finish all his work on the cross. He still needs to prepare a place for all his saints so he can enjoy his rest to the fullest with them. The work he finished is God's plan for salvation, which ensures creation will return to his control. Anything that does not come from God...

    What is Truth?

    Gen 3:19 with context with 3:17 establishes it as a curse: "17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of...

    What is Truth?

    There is 'truth' with lower case t and 'Truth' with upper case T. Lower case truth is factually correct information. Upper case Truth is the Logos, word of God. Here is your truth. 1. All men will die one day is undoubtedly true. That is until death and hell are cast into the lake of fire...

    Please help me - I know it's Impossible, but I can't seem to prove how

    That sounds like a proof from the first law of thermodynamics, the law of conservation of energy. Energy can only be changed but not created or destroyed. Ironic that those who place their hope in science also hope they are wrong. If their science were true it means there must be a God. It...

    And the truth shall set you free...

    A bit of info about the Wheat and Tare, it isn't as widely known these days because society is no longer agrarian: They grow up indistinguishable from one another. But when they reach maturity the tare stands straight up, it's fruit is light. The head of the wheat hangs low from the weight of...

    And the truth shall set you free...

    I would hope God has high expectations for us. Most people have some concept of right and wrong, and they see that Christians are no different than everyone else. Then Christians claim the moral highground on something and get labeled as hypocrites. Or at the least their religion gets...

    Is it OK to ask Almighty God Questions?

    "How" is a question seldom answered. It usually goes along with unbelief. "How" as in, how could you possibly do that?

    And the truth shall set you free...

    Is it right when non-Christians are more virtuous than Christians? It is shameful, and can not be the way God intended. The only conclusion I can draw from that is Christian's aren't living up to expectations.

    Is it OK to ask Almighty God Questions?

    Do you refer to Romans 9:20?

    So you used to plan for plant maintenance during outages? Did that include unplanned shutdowns due to tube ruptures in the waterwalls?

    Almighty God as I perceive him to be?

    Because it would allow for discussion on each point.

    The School of the prophets: God's rules

    So there must be some ignorance now in order for there to be revelations later. It makes sense. In this time (of the gentiles), I believe God only reveals that which is beneficial for us to know according to his plans. Mainly this consists of building people up in faith. Hope for the future...
