    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    I believe perhaps that this could be a factor in the afterlife as well, of people having a portion of the lake of fire but not forever? This burning perhaps has a cleansing purpose. Revelation 21:8 King James Version 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    Basically there won’t be any thing wicked within the Heavenly Jerusalem, however in revelation it is mentioned hear this: Revelation 22:11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” You also have this...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    What about Revelation 21-22, though @Phoneman777, and Gods desired purpose and will to have none perish? I can do the same thing you are doing via questioning.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Thank you for sharing your insights on this. Sticking, and standing with the Lord is not a popular thing to do. The blind man is a great example of a healing that is meant as a picture for us today, that without light, we are blind. Jesus is the light of all mankind by the life he lived he is...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    The Holy Spirit of God helps us in notifying in which we are doing wrong, and a lot of that has to due with not only not placing God first in ones life, but also not being good to our neighbor. Where a person hurts them, through lies, or non-care, meanness and that is such a daunting thing for...

    The Impassable Great Gulf in Hell: No legs to walk with

    @Phoneman777 if a person must seek for immortality, why does Jesus promise to resurrect those of faith and non-faith? If the nonbeliever sought after immortality then according to the Bible... everyone is going to be resurrected. This is a great conundrum?

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    I've tired to explain it. If God gives a living spirit or soul (mind/will/emotion) to his creation, I don't see what the deal is. That soul/spirit is going back to be resurrected into a new spiritual body after leaving this life. So I don't find it such a big deal to say that people move from...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Oh good deal then. I don’t understand why people have such a problem with the soul God gives to everyone when they are born from the womb. Since the fall of Adam though we have been dead spiritually and need to made alive spiritually in Christ which leads to a relationship with the Father...

    Also if you wanna make a thread about your questions pertaining to post 17 please go make a thread and see what other people on the forum may have to say about those things, as I’ve cleared it up for myself upon the response in 18. God bless brother in Christ, grailhunter.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    It’s just you keep posting here specifically. Thus I respond if decided. Im not a great guy at all and nothing good dwells in my flesh. Could you place an “To all” when posting, it would make a great difference. Post 18 has my thoughts on what those scripture could mean. You said or assume...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    When it comes to Judgment, Stunned, God is right all the time. Gods judgments are just when I by my own merit do something that is not good and the result is chasement in which God desires to talk to us and lead us to still waters and to lay in green pastures to have peace of mind in Christ...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Just for clarification, I do not believe I am better than anyone here just because of my view and my approach in how that it is I decide to share scripture, @Grailhunter, if you have an idea for a thread you wanna write about please feel free to make your own thread about it. Everyone has a...

    It is why the importance of following and walking in the Spirit is needed.

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    That is why from my perspective people who are curious to know about the bible should read it, and study it. It is not being about better than others from my understanding. It's about loving God and loving others, as Jesus had commanded. That also comes at the cost of suffering for Christ, and...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Some can't you are right @Grailhunter, but not all. “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭RSV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/2020/jhn.1.17.RSV

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Yes, that is something that I been trying to explain to others. From my outlook not one person is better than another even if they believe in Faith on the Lord Jesus christ, there is benefits being a believer with newness of life but that doesnt make and individual superior. All of us bleed the...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    It's allow about allowing God to work in and through us, to walk by the spirit by faith. According to Paul in his writing to Galatians: He said in Chapter 5 this: In Chapter 2 of the same Letter to the people in Galatia. Something here in verse 21 is very worth noting as well for those who...

    How can we be perfect and complete? Is it by Law, or by faith?

    Perfect - doesn't have anything to do with being sinless. It deals with being complete, mature, or perhaps walking with integrity. No one by their flesh is sinless, unless they are Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ works in and through us by the spirit to produce good fruits which is always having love...
