Curve ball, anyone? By the nature of time and eternity, and God being the same yesterday, today, and forever: Witnessing (the revelation of Jesus Christ) and Judging (the Judgement)...occur simultaneously. Then comes the end. ;)

As long as you do not comply with the full instructions of the Biblical narrative and come around to "rightly divide the word of truth" that was beforehand only told as unified, you will forever find conflict and turn to arguments. This is nothing new. The same problem began in the garden where...

That is not biblical. John 10:29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. No, your...

Not exactly. No, Satan (or the devil) does not have the power over life and death, only God does. As for spiritual damage, a saved person has the spirit of God, so no, Satan cannot cause spiritual damage to God or anyone in God. If you did not mean the spirit of God or that of a saved person...

That sounds like it was your efforts, you doing all you could, but you found it to be impossible...and you're right, it is impossible for us. But not for God. Tell him that in prayer, turn the whole matter over to Him, and tell him you can't do it. Believe that He can.

The same as all who are born of women...intil the flesh dies, like everyone else.

No, but to all. It is a reminder of where we are in the world and the terms and what we are subject to, whether saved or not saved.

It is good that you are posing these as questions. I have addressed this several times here lately. This is what Paul referred to as "rightly dividing the word of truth." Which in the logical mind of one who believes that all scripture is true, apparently does not compute. And it is true, that...

I am going to stop there, at least for now. If this is the main question, I think it is best not to veer off just yet. Dropping the 'isms and acronym of OSAS... Those who are [actually] saved have no enemy-- he has been defeated. But I suspect that because life goes on with all the trappings...

I won't give you my "opinion", but if I have an answer, will answer with the truth. Thanks for the invitation.

Sorry, I had to step away for a while, but wanted to elaborate.. You have made a pretty good assessment of a lot of the would-be Christian community, including this forum. And yes, some should listen to what you have said and examine themselves. Thanks for being honest about yourself. The...

No deals. They will stop, but perhaps not before it is too late. As for you, you still have a choice.

Indeed, there is nothing random about all who are used of God. But all who are born again of God are used-- we are His body.

Stop! Your understanding is only literary. By your own admission you have no ability to discern the whole truth of the scriptures spiritually.

You are relying on your own understanding, which biblically falls short and disqualifies you to speak with authority.

No... some are here also being used by the Holy Spirit, who is speaking the truth through them (just as it is written of them).

If (as you say) you are not saved, then you do not have the Holy Spirit in whom is all truth, and therefore have no ability to speak to the truth of this topic. How is it then that you carry on as if you know what you are talking about?

There are other passages, but for example, that does not reconcile with: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

I see you are still not "rightly dividing the word of truth", the greatest blunder committed by most of Christendom. When Paul said "the word of truth" what we should all know he was talking about was specifically the gospel declared by Jesus. But instead, most assume it is not specific to the...

I gave you the answer already, but because of your own emotional pet peeve, you too suffer the same blindness of which you rant.
