I answered already. One thing at a time. Your repeating yourself doesn't make you right.

Joe, First things first. You presented a number of scriptures to justify your belief in universal salvation, to which I pointed out that those passages were only part and that you had not reconciled all scripture. That is a factual statement, and you have refused to consider what I referred to...

You assume what you do not know (even of me) to your own loss. I submitted all scripture to you, and while you reject the all of scripture that I presented, you hold up the broken sword of only part. There is one who does the same, and you follow. I leave you to it.

In spite of the immense amount of detail, it's really much simpler than that: The world is not what it appears to be. Among those who do not know or believe there is a God, certainly it is easy to imagine that there are alternative answers and explanations possible--that is what the world is...

Joe, You have reconciled the matter in your mind and in your heart--which is only so good. But you have not reconciled all that is written. Such are the arguments of the devil. Half of the truth is no more than a lie. And just as we who are His are in Christ, the devil also has his own who...

Restoration in the biblical context does not mean saving everything, but rather replacing it...just as it is in replacing the old with the new heavens and new earth, but destroying the old with fervent heat and with fire. Likewise "not that body" of flesh inherits the kingdom of God, but one...

If God used a donkey and even Nebuchadnezzar...or for that matter, any of us, why question His use of a father-in-law who was not of Israel?

I did not.

Do you know what the apostles could not bear that Jesus could not tell them 2,000 years ago? Do you know the finish of the mystery of God as he declared to his servants the prophets, which was not to come until just before the seventh angel sounds? Do you even know how we were to be "led unto...

Go ahead, mock the miracles and unworldly nature of God and the spirit. Did God not part the Red Sea? Did Jesus not walk on water? Don't be a fool!

I think I have said it before...but obviously these things need to be taken one at a time, and first things first before moving on to a whole host of issues. Again...here above you are under the wrong impression. I was not referring to the time of when God inspired men to write the book, but...

What flak, that they are still saved in spite of the struggle? That is what Paul, who was saved on the road to Damascus, clarified was a fact of "we who are alive and remain" in the world in the flesh while having been also born again of the spirit of God. Are you not getting the chronology...

Even today many say similar things as did the man to whom Jesus spoke. The man said he would follow Jesus wherever He went, but then made an exception regarding his father. Many even today say things like, "I want to be with Jesus and with God, but I don't want to die." But the point of the...

Thank you--and blessing to you! I would gladly delete my comment, seeing that you have apologized for yours...but you show a goodness that should not be covered up!

Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. Certainly one should not believe anything and everything that comes along. There are warnings. But to expect an old world...

Indeed! If we are in fact a new creation, we go from loving to sin, to hating it!

If I may interject... Indeed His kingdom has come, as has the New Jerusalem. But it is not as many perceive it to be. Because the kingdom of God is "within you", why do you expect the new heaven and earth to be outward and seen? That is completely backwards, the thinking of men and of the...

Go ahead and continue to be deceived, to deny that false teachers have entered into the church teaching a lie causing strong delusion and great apostacy. Why spoil the delusion--why spoil the slumber?
