What, THIS Jesus below? Yes. Are we forgetting that His wrath has yet to be revealed? Or at least the full brunt of it. We just haven't seen all of His "being" yet, fully revealed. I don't believe justice is darkness....it is just. So I think we should be careful we're not accusing Him of...

A few scriptures to consider, on the topic of accusation: Jhn 5:45 “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. (in other words – the words of God that Moses wrote down) Mat 12:36-37 “But I say to you that for every idle word...

That shouldn’t be a hard question to answer when we know it is the LORD who created both good and evil and who created the destroyer in the first place for the purpose of destroying. Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things...

According to one meaning of the word, yes, good point. This age is certainly coming to an end. But that isn't the only meaning or use of that word, as we've seen, and it's a case of spiritual things being conveyed through human language. (The bible puts things so beautifully I find.) Maybe...

What I glean is that emotions, like our thoughts and imaginations need to be sanctified for God's use....under the rulership of Christ in us. Not that we cease to have them. But being in the spirit diminishes our fleshly emotions, insomuch that they are under God's rule and not ruling over...

I'm no scholar, but it seems that word is used interchangeably in scripture.....it can mean an age that has an end, or it can be talking about an age that has no end, and as you've pointed out it is translated as world in places too. We can't do without the Holy Spirit to help us understand and...

No. That's the problem with a humanistic gospel...it is always accusing God. The self righteousness of man accuses God of not being righteous enough. That's what the serpent in the Garden was doing...."oh, is that old meany withholding this beautiful fruit from you?" The Lord IS righteous...

Human emotions are of the flesh and are fickle and prone to being exploited by the devil. I've been played like a fiddle at times in my life because in the flesh I can be empathetic to a fault. But we are not supposed to be in the flesh and ruled by our emotions, but in the spirit, where...

To begin with, it should be plenty enough to know that eternal punishment and hell is something we want to avoid at all costs, since we are being warned against it. We are offered only two options, life or death, so choose life for heaven's sake! We sure don't want to end up with the latter...

It's sad that all those scriptures that mention fear of the Lord seem to be wasted on some folks, whereas they should be blessed meat to our soul. I don't know if I'll take the time and effort to gather and post all the scriptures that talk about doctrine - there are a lot of those too. Fear...

"My" doctrine? Oh my. I submit to you that anyone with doctrine that doesn't line up with scripture is THEIR doctrine and not God's. Why is the fear of the Lord such a hard concept to swallow? Is this meat too strong for those with a humanistic gospel that panders to people's fleshly...

It was JESUS who said we are to rather fear the one who can destroy body and soul in hell. He would never have told us to fear the devil. But to fear God....yes...that would be in line with what scripture teaches all over the bible about fearing God. Be aware that there are two ditches on...

We can act according to our own will in such a way (keep on WILFULLY sinning) as to grieve the Spirit of God enough that He will depart one's temple. AKA that one would be fallen away/apostate and in mortal danger of their soul. The glory of the Lord departed the temple in Israel when they...

Unfortunately, what Lamb said is just true. A humanistic gospel and approach to the word of God doesn't forge soldiers of the cross, it just keeps babes remaining babes instead of growing and overcoming and increasing in strength. Perpetually fixing their eyes on their problems instead of...

This was mentioned on the other thread, and it is talking to believers. Some believers unfortunately may end up being destroyed in hell if they don't straighten up their life and walk. Jesus is demonstrating the seriousness of sin by saying it is better to cut off the sinning parts in this...

You said that verse is telling us to fear the devil who can destroy body and soul in hell. That would make the devil our Judge and King and the one we bow down to then. Pardon the pun, but hell no. Jesus has TRIUMPHED over the devil and was given the keys to life and death. It is He to whom...

These scriptures answer that question in a beautiful way........knowledge and transformation go hand in hand. Eph 4:17-24 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being...

All believers are salted by fire as we go along.....the Lord chastises who He loves as sons....trials and tribs. It is through much tribulation that we enter the kingdom of heaven. (bible) 1 Cor. 3 is talking about the end, the Day of the Lord, which will reveal and burn up everything that is...

Once again you avoid talking about what the scriptures do say. I assume and have seen much evidence that you don't know them very well. God's anger is not like man's fleshly anger, it is higher and pure. You should truly get to know Him better.

I can't help but feel that God did answer your parent's prayers but just not in the same way they were thinking. That is very like Him to do something like that. You did receive "sight" didn't you? Just not physically, but you received something better and greater. We as human being tend to...
