    It's Getting Real Folks

    This would probably deserve and need a separate thread... When and why was Satan cast down? And what was he doing in heaven anyway?

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    I am not JW, nor have I based my beliefs on their teachings, but on the testimony of scripture. I disagree with JWs on many points, but on the subject of eternal torment, they are correct. Not an is universalist, as I believe you suggested earlier in the thread I believe scripture speaks quite...

    Why do people desire for the end times to be for today? Serious Inquirey

    If you step back and look at the big picture, study prophecy correctly, you will discover, (if you ditch your senseless preterist worldview) we have been living in the last days for over 200 years.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Only God is immortal. On one side of the above... You speak the truth. What you say on the other side of... Contradicts the first. You are trusting so much in your own education and learning you are not listening.

    It's Getting Real Folks

    While I am a firm believer that short time for us could be no more than a few years, or one night should we not wake up tomorrow, for Lucifer aka Satan, who was created before the creation of the world, and therefore we have no idea of the space time extent of his existence before creation, the...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    The ultimate lie...ye shall not surely die. And Christian preachers, including yourself, have been teaching that for centuries on no greater authority than Satan. Man is immortal. Yeah, right. KJV Jeremiah 9:23-24 23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the...

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    With the inference you spoke of later... So, what you are saying is that before Sinai, murder was okay, as was adultery, theft, fornication, idolatry, covetousness, lying, cursing, etc. Oh, and of course it was okay to desecrate holy things... Like the Sabbath... Before Sinai. But...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    No pre-trib rapture in my theology, just strength to endure the hard times, as in all previous ages. Yes, as promised, those days shall be shortened, but Jesus did not say He would remove anyone... Until the harvest the weeds and wheat grow together. The Husbandman isn't going to remove...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    In the words of that famous TV series from long ago... You asked for it. The Sparkle Creed reads: I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling-child of God. I...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    The only one who promised Adam life in disobedience was the great deceiver. And the declaration of the serpent to Eve in Eden—“Ye shall not surely die”—was the first sermon ever preached upon the immortality of the soul. Yet this declaration, that sinners have eternal life, resting solely upon...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    That was a pathetic smokescreen, more like a thin vapour, and I can see through it quite readily.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    I find it interesting that you resort to strawmen to bolster your argument. Nowhere did I suggest there is no hell... Just not the hell you are so desperate to promote. As to your contention that the sum total of those scriptures mean something different than their individual parts present, is...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Not once did you actually address anything I said. I don't want sermons and I don't need your threats of fire and brimstone to deter me from sin...I have Calvary for that. His love is sufficient to keep me from sin. "If ye love Me, keep My commandments". You are no more honest than Grail...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    So? What you are missing is that nowhere in those texts does it mention everlasting punishing. Eternal death without a resurrection... That is the second death... Is an eternal punishment. If God deems it necessary to punish sinners with pain and suffering for ever, then they are alive right...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    It is true that Satan knows the scriptures better than anyone. Which is why his ultimate purpose of destroying God's people can only come about through deception... Counterfeiting truth. He has a counterfeit church, a counterfeit Christ, and a counterfeit eschatology, but each one having...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    As I said previously, I have no argument that there is an eternal fire. Doesn't mean that whoever is thrown in to that fire is also eternal. As the the beast and the false prophet. The false prophet in Revelation 13, the second beast, is a nation, guide and led by a demonic angel. Daniel tells...

    It's Getting Real Folks

    Mmm. Add to that the Hollywood perspective with aliens and the supernatural, with the now almost global acceptance and all religions agreeing with the concept of the immortality of the human soul: Satan now has carte blanche in deceiving the world into anything he wants with dead folk appearing...

    First Amendment in Action

    According to scripture the world and the kingdom of God have nothing in common... Especially their particular versions of morality.

    Tradition Versus Scripture

    So. You admit it was an Catholic invading force bent on dethroning a non Catholic Queen from her rightful position, with the Pope having assumed authority to back and support such a venture. My point is made.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Sorry, but that's nonsense. Very few people believe in universalism, and very few of those because they want to do whatever they like without consequences. Not all the above scripture you quoted clearly declared eternal torture. Eternal fire, yes. Eternal punishment, yes. Unquenchable fire...
