The bible also says that "God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten son, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM would not perish but have everlasting life." So in spite of God's love for the world, and in spite of the fact that Jesus died for the world, clearly it is necessary to believe in...

Another ad hominem remark, since it's obvious you don't have an answer to there not being anybody good but God.

Well since you don't like lots of words, here are only a few to contemplate: "There is no one good but God." (and they are not my words, but Jesus'.)

1Pe 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Check the context of that verse in your bible. We as believers are undergoing that judgment now in this life, through the...

When the time is ripe and it becomes evident who is fulfilling obedience and who are disobedient, Paul is warning them that even though he may seem not to be bold when present, he is actually equipped and capable in the Lord of being very bold in unleashing rebuke/chastisement or other...

You are equating a belief in the wrath of God with hardness of heart. That is I think called a false equivalency. If we have God's heart we are willing that none should perish, we do not delight in the death of the wicked but would rather that they repent in order to receive that white stone...

Sometimes too much reasoning is the problem when we need to just receive the word of God. Now is the day of salvation, yes, and God's longsuffering, but the word says this age of grace and salvation is coming to an end. Maybe this will help with some of what you're grappling with.....we know...

Oh, but it's the other way around, those who believe as you do are vilifying God in accusing His anger/wrath of being unrighteous! Scripture says to behold both the severity and goodness of God. The wrath of man is of the flesh, yes, but God's anger is not of the flesh. His anger/wrath is...

Sure, that's the usual accusation. We are to love, even our enemies, and only seek that the lost be reconciled to God. But the bible speaks in many places of God's judgment. Here's one: Rom 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written...

Here is a good passage to tuck away in your heart in case you do come across those who are trying to deceive along those lines sometime: Isa 43:10-11 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me...

Yes it does. God judges. Which is WHY we need a Saviour....Jesus came offering mercy and salvation but many refused Him and still do today. It definitely was God's judgment on the Canaanites in the promised land. Scripture even says He was waiting until their transgression had come to the...

I didn't ask if you had engaged in conversation with anyone claiming to be Christ, but whether you had heard of or come across anyone with that belief. Simple yes or no question.....that you are still avoiding answering directly.

A private conversation that wasn't kept private but was written down for the benefit of the church/ekklesia. Words that will never pass away. I have run into people saying that they are Christs. New age form of Christianity. Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun, and what has been...

You are always so wrong about me, and others. I guess that makes you a false prophet, I'm sorry to say. Like when you accused me of being an anti-semitic bigot. One day maybe I'll tell you a little bit about my life as concerns the Jews, if the Lord wills. If you were a prophet of God you...

Yes, I agree with your observation. Sadly.

Interesting that you seem so averse to addressing His words, though you have been given many many many (did I say many?) opportunities to do so.

That sounds like an evasive answer. Unless you really believe those warnings that JESUS gave are about people who are insane and belong in institutions, rather than being about a subtle and seductive deception that is so strong even the elect would be deceived if that were possible....?

The scripture that says we are seated in heavenly places I believe is the truth for all those who are born of the spirit. It's our spirit that is "there" for real, I agree with marks on this. Yes, in Christ, by His Spirit, our spirit being one with His Spirit. Heaven and spirit are not bound...

No I didn't have you in mind, I haven't read/remembered enough of what you have written to see if you wrest scripture or not. Other than that you are apparently in agreement with someone who I have seen wresting scripture.

Those who only care about winning an argument are always twisting things....they are not even honest.
