Paul spoke of the same act as being one act: As life everlasting to those in Christ, and death to those not in Christ...all as the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy, made possible and arranged by Christ, and confirmed by Peter, of God pouring out His spirit upon all flesh. Life or death by the same...

Then, I must ask: Regarding the second coming of Christ, which do you deny, His coming into the world in the flesh, or His coming into you in spirit?

True, but the specific lie referred to by Paul, was regarding the spiritual transition that was to occur with Christ's "soon" return. Left in the hands of men of flesh and blood, many were convinced that He had not returned even though He was again among us even until the end of the age. They...

Jesus said he would return "soon", they said "someday." Jesus said "must shortly come to pass", they said and still say "future." That was the "lie."

In the one true thread of God's interaction and revelation with the world down through all of history, the lie referred to by Paul (causing strong delusion among the church since its beginning) has been the alternate and false gospel taught by false teachers in the church regarding what Jesus...

The greatest question to ask of concern during these times should be: What is the "lie" and who are the "false teachers" foretold to bring "destructive doctrines" into the church causing "strong delusion"--and have I believed them? Most have.

That is indeed a condition of attaining salvation. However, it does not say that one who has attained salvation can loose it, as he speaks of the "hope" of salvation through the gospel, not of the assurance of having received it.

Growing up was like something out of a story book. I’ll get to times of suffering, but for the most part life was good. I was raised on a ranch with a wonderful, loving mother and father, a sister and two brothers, and friends. Although we had lots of chores and worked really hard compared to...

Oh...another one: Make up a story about how "you" started a buzz word, like "Boss." Best done in a public setting with other people. When the word comes up, say, "Yeah, that was my word--my boss!" Then tell your cockamamy story (with a straight face). My wife does this...and believes it's...

You're funny! I don't know if this applies...but I have learned to treat certain idiosyncrasies with a kind of reverse psychology. One of my favorites was instead of complaining or pointing out that "someone" has been leaving the kitchen cabinet door(s) open on a regular basis-- I just open...

"Preach" is now such a harsh word. Only "some" are gifted by the Spirit to do so. However, we all are to give our testimony regarding sin and salvation. In doing so we should preface our comments about sin with the understanding that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"; and...

Your psychological projecting, is on you :(

:( You mimic the words of the lawyers and Pharisees, and make accusations like a son. Squirm, squirm, you give yourself away, even to the end. I have corrected you so many times I have lost count. Still, though you keep trying, you can't get even.

If you only knew. No, the "son of perdition" is the son born of him who first sinned, from whom has come many sons and daughters.

Woe to you lawyers (who can't even count)! He did not say "three evenings and mornings", but "three days." --"God called the light Day." Genesis 1:5 The error is yours, and your own words of condemnation are the measure you yourself shall receive.

There is one who does not want the subject of this thread to be heard: That we come now to the "great and terrible day of the Lord", and that "third day" that has been so much of prophecy. Jesus referred to "the third day" in his own life as a smaller example of what was, and is, and is to...

For the record: Still no point, only mocking.

Yes, that's true. You acted like you had a point to make; I asked you nicely what it was; had to ask again; but still you don't make any point, only mock. Typical.

I would say, that is not the point, not the method that God has at work. But rather that each word, right or wrong has purpose...just as He gave Pharaoh purpose, for example.
