Ian the inspector intimated that the ionosphere was inaccessible.

Now for some strange reason Christianity has become synonymous with leaning way over to the right of the political spectrum. But a Christian should never lean one way or the other. A Christian is to be centrist...balanced...and non-partisan where the opinions and aspirations of men are...

This is only so if the word EL is embedded in the name of the person. But in the case of Immanu-El...the words are separate in the Hebrew text. And this means that Immanu-el is not a name but a statement. "God is with us" It is the akin to where the holy city is to be called "Yahweh shamah" or...

Well we know that Stephen saw into the third heaven in real time. (In Acts) And that is by a vision superimposed on the natural vision. A sight beyond sight. We have references from the OT with Elijah and his servant who were permitted to see into the spiritual realm. We also read of John who...

Fair enough. I think a certain amount of skepticism is healthy...and at certain times necessary to show a sobriety of mind. Too many people just make a fantasy out of what they read in the bible...and just place themselves into the text without any other indicator than what they have come to...

Of course. :) People throw around insults when they have no argument. Maybe these should show a basic human maturity and forego on a topic they have no understanding about. I don't think people here with few exceptions know about the kingdom of God as more than just an imaginary concept...

What is your experience of the kingdom? I don't think that many have any idea what the kingdom even is. Remember we are part of a religion of salvation that claims all the verses but without the power that shows we are walking in the Spirit and truth.

Rejecting Christ is something very specific. There are literally billions of people who are not Christian but who've not rejected Christ either. Our job is to present Christ in such a way so as they encounter Him. THEN...if they reject Him...that's for condemnation. But with the sorry excuse...

It may seem futile...but I tried. ;)

It's clear that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world...and not just for believers. Jesus never advocates for a salvation by belief system. God is merciful. I believe the bible shows very clearly that the saints will rule over the righteous and they on whom God shows mercy. God can save...

Agreed! Psalm 87 87 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre...

Do you know what a dogmatic belief entails?

And some will indeed be cast into the lake of fire. But that is not determined by our dogmatic appreciations or judgments. We are not the ideal against which all others are judged.

Denying Christ today is not to deny that Jesus came and died for the sins of all men. The devil doesn't deny Christ in this way. So he lets people believe that...and that this is what justifies them. (If that was so then the devil would also be justified in believing that Jesus died for the sins...

Exactly! Then it all boils down to...entering INTO Him...where He becomes our life and our salvation. We are made perfect IN Him. We walk in His perfected humanity IN Him. IN Him is NO sin. One can try explaining this over and over...but without real faith people will ALWAYS limit God and His...

Eternal life is a kind of life. A walk in the presence of God. None of us has a personal eternal life. That life is found only in Christ. It is as we enter into Christ that we walk in the power of His life. In that life is no sin. No one who sins has eternal life. The bible speaks to us of...

The game begins....as in...my dogmatism is better than your dogmatism. Dogmatic statements don't save you. The devil knows more about who Jesus is than you do. Why don't you try winning a dogma contest with him? For all the good that does,

Episkopos said: ↑ Repentance is never "secured" for all time. I disagree. See John 5:24. IF you abide in Christ...big IF...then you have nothing to repent of because there is no sin IN Christ. But how many people know that level of walk? Mostly people are just trying to be good. And these...

The way in Christ is not an end...but a means. (that's why it is called a way....not a done deal) Can you understand what that is? Do you know what the difference is between a means and an end. I have met very few modern style believers who understand even that.

You will have to investigate your own error. I'm not playing that game. I can do that too... Jesus is the Lamb of God. There. ;)
