    Reconciling Of the world...

    Good morning Redfan, What is the point you are trying to make? Some believe that God placed his wrath on his Son, I don’t agree with that. I’m not opposed to what the scripture says about it pleases Yahweh to crush his son, somewhere in Isa. I suppose to take the blood offering was the...

    Reconciling Of the world...

    The chasm has now been restored! Praise God through Jesus who reconciled all people… Jesus paid for sin… People believe they need to believe in Jesus to have their sins to have forgiveness. Thing is, Jesus forgave (father forgive them for they know not what they do) us on the cross, and paid...

    Election - Season

    Love you brother thank you for your participation. Just trying to be straightforward and transparent, trying to live honestly from my heart.

    Election - Season

    I personally believe the Garden of Eden has been restored, @Lifelong_sinner. There are people who are dead still to spiritual things, and those who don’t want nothing to do with God may not have access to the tree of life. My consideration would be reading to oneself the Revelation 22 to...

    Election - Season

    Also by the way I’m not against the biblical text that God blinded the people but I don’t believe he does that today. Due to the complete and total victory of Christ. Who conquered hell, death, (Jesus died and paid for it for all people) sin, Satan and his demons, and rising out of the grave...

    Election - Season

    Could you simply answer the question posed in the original 1st post? I would just like to know what people think about the posed question. Nothing more really though you may share whatever one would like to. I actually am not here to debate, but what I posed in post number 3 makes sense. So...

    Election - Season

    All context needs to be considered, sir. I have a disdain for reformed theology as it can make God into a monster. If God elects only Billy joe and not billy Joes wife… what kind of God are we serving in which he just picks and chooses. The answer to the question I believe is yes, the people...

    Election - Season

    There are scripture in Ephesians, that talk about Elect. Wouldn't the Jewish people in that day in age consider themselves Elect - due to God choosing the Nation of Israel to come about to be elect - to bring forth the law, the prophets, and the Messiah? Is there any scripture what so ever in...

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    That is good you dont let the sun go down on your anger, Jim B. I never knew those scriptures existed for 26 years worth of my life in all honesty, as I never sought or read the Bible all that much for those 26 years. So to be open and transparent I have let my anger go down with the sun and...

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    Hello Jim b. Call your local national guard and tell them to shut it down. You never have gotten pissed off before?

    Instructions

    Luke 17:1-10 New American Standard Bible Instructions 17 Now He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! 2 It is better for him if a millstone is hung around his neck and he is thrown into the sea, than that he may cause one of...

    @Episkopos I do not understand where you are coming from. I was actually talking about Ephesians 2:8-9. Those who come to Christ, being it grace being saved through faith. How can one fail grace? Doesn't one actually fail in doing the will of God from time to time? Do you remember what Jesus...

    The Only Problem With The Trinity

    Just use of the bible. Sorry it did not help. Take care, @Marymog if you have no more questions.

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    The point I am trying to make is our own thoughts, and lust which come into our heart and minds, can be fuel to cause destruction... - Our own mind and heart is a weapon. Of course looking to the Lord Jesus Christ our mind and heart is changed into a new way of thinking having God work on your...

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    Will you also answer my question, @amigo de christo? I do not mind how your stance is, to prove your point which is Why Worry About It? What if someone desires to protect their family from an intruder? This is the question though if you would like to answer it, cause I would like for you to...

    Don't we fail, doing the will of God from time to time, @Episkopos (Flesh vs spirit?)? How can a person fail the grace of God? Grace is given, as an unmerited favor.

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    That is totally understandable, Amigo. That is great, to look and seek and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and have him close to your heart, and worship God in spirit and truth. However, imagine in America - there was no Government, there was no Police Department, no Army to help defend...

    Conclusive That Jesus is AGAINST Weapons!

    Why did God let the nation of israel conquer over other nations? Joshua was a great conqueror. Surely it is okay, for nations to have a defense system?

    This is an interesting take as the parable itself, I do not understand personally as some other parables Jesus may speak about, even reading this is kind of hard to understand a little bit even reading out loud to myself. Would like to thank you for taking time to present and interesting case here.

    The Only Problem With The Trinity

    26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me: This is a witness of transformation being adopted into the kingdom of the Son, from Darkness to Light. being delivered from...
