    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Everyone has too. I can't save you. Jesus already did though, if a person desires him in their life, may they go after him, and his Father. They are the ones who give age-during life. Have a good one. Thank you also again for the great question @Instant.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    I also realize I sound very sure of myself because these are the things that I have come to learn over time - but no one has to believe them, and no one has to trust me, or anything, however, I do encourage the fact of studying, with learning Hebrew words from a Hebrew dictionary and greek, and...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Nope. Jesus victory today, would - say EVERYONE has been saved from hell, satan, sin, death, the wrath of God (because it pertained to the nation God chose); but not everyone is saved to the Kingdom of Heaven; because to be saved to the kingdom of heaven is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Hello Instant, That is a good question about the warnings that were given to the people at the time. The warning was - REPENT AND BELIEVE AND YOU WILL NOT FACE THE WRATH OF GOD (you would be saved from that). Everyone in that day though went to hell, even Jesus himself, he went to Paradise...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    @Jack, Here is me reading through all the Gospels. I did this before I ended up relapsing again back on meth and still need to go through the rest - Acts through Revelation... I was hoping to do the whole new testament in a month but the relapse held me back... After that the plan is do...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    People need to study @Jack. However, if people would like to be bible literalists, by all means just quote scripture all you would like to; as it doesn't really effect me as much as you may assume. My contextual looking is at the bible as a whole not just bits and pieces, that is why Revelation...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Sheol / Hades. Was the realm of the dead. People died, and when they pasted on they went to Sheol - because - the connection between God and man had a separation as you see Adam and eve being lead out of the Garden. Sin - kept them from God - and they were in a place of the dead. This place...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Have a good night Davy, sorry you are upset. I am not trying to badger you at all... but if you gonna just be negative, it would be best for you to ignore me.

    Are you here to convert people?

    The reason Truth can be true or not true is because one has to figure it out for themselves if what someone says on the internet, or says in life, is really true or not. Therefore ... truth could be true or not true. Cause someone that full heartily believes something that is a tradition of...

    Great, thank you for the delightful conversation, @Davy. You take care.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    No human is to be trusted, @Davy... Wouldn't make accusations either. The only one to be trusted truly is God, who is the only Spiritual Authority that exist, aside from the authority that is here on earth such as the government, and police.

    Are you here to convert people?

    Cause it may or may not be true. The bible may be or may not be true. Truth can be subjective as well, towards any given subject. It takes faith to even believe the first sentence of Genesis. (In the beginning God): Would you say that is true?

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    @Davy, nothing new. It's not like this is being said "IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THIS WAY YOU NOT A CHRISTIAN!" If I did that, then there may be a problem. It's subjective between God and the individual... Not between me and you.

    Are you here to convert people?

    Don't know, only one truth sets people free (abiding in Christ word) from what I understand. What is it you know about truth, @Matthias?

    Are you here to convert people?

    Nah, just to share uncommon truths, that may or may not be true.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I couldn't tell you the day or hour. There is a destruction though that was predicted - but the exact day or hour - when Jesus returned and gathered is bride (they were changed in the twinkling of an eye, rescued from Gods Wrath due to faithfulness) - is estimated between the wrath of God...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    Would agree with you too. The bible is reliable, and needs to be taken into context from the start to finish; you could set adide the poetry and wisdom ; however the historical narrative up til acts pertains to mainly Gods chosen nation; before Paul goes out to the Gentile world, then the drop...

    DECONSTRUCTION - How far is too far?

    Dude left his faith; but some of his content is interesting to see and listen to. (Explict warning) Deconstructing fundamentals He probably has one about evangalism, cant remember.
