You do not believe God sees a difference between people who focus on escaping hell more than or instead of on loving Him? Did Jesus focus more on escaping the suffering and death more than pleasing God?

Praying with you!

@Hidden In Him The thing that comes to mind is Moses when his face shone so blindly bright before men he had to put a veil over his face. It seems however that I am still missing your point. It must be me that is not understanding. Are you speaking only a man recognizing in himself that he...

@Hidden In Him There are probably several levels of this, where we are pushing ahead of God to obtain the "good" but by doing so perhaps actually encounter something not so good. An extreme example that comes to mind is people who purposely allow themselves to be physically crucified [in the...

I am praying for you my friend!

@Mark Balicki I also use the KJV, but I do understand what you said in your video. Strictly in the flesh different words from different languages can be helpful. But it is God using those words of the various languages to get His message through to us. So then a master even of the original...

Am I praying specifically for these things? Certainly at times but to say one is or should be of a higher priority than another I would say is dependent upon our needs in the moment. Sometimes we know, but sometimes we do not know what it is that we need the most. We don't know where we are...

It may burn away at the first, but not completely. When a person has been moved away from the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh and sees himself as doing so well in God then the danger of the pride of life, that is pride in his own life or the glorifying of self, is there ready to slip...

For some your words might reflect a truth... but it is not always as simple as that, is it? For example: for one person drinking just one bottle of beer leads him straight into the deepest pit of hell while for another person it less harmful than drinking a Coca Cola. [Of course drinking that...

From online Bible dictionary: Tares. the bearded darnel, mentioned only in Matthew 13:25-30. It is the Lolium temulentum, a species of rye-grass, the seeds of which are a strong soporific poison. It bears the closest resemblance to wheat till the ear appears, and only then the difference is...

Amen! God has provided the means for us to go through the fire and Live, but "few there be that find it"! We are allowed time to get there... our allotted course as men here... but when we enter the fire will we be cleansed and purged and purified... or will we be burned up? "For other...

What does require to be moved up from the paygrade of a private to that of a general of the army? How about deepness of earth into good ground to bring forth good fruit? "And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds...

"He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:8-9 [Notice this is Not speaking of being born again, but of our natural birth to our natural mothers.] Jesus was the glimmer, the Hope, of...

I enjoyed wading through it. As I said I am not opposed to it, even if I cannot fully embrace it. I strive to embrace God. How well am I able to see or hear Him?

They/we all had Hope! Adam and Eve had Hope. The Hope was/is Jesus, but those who failed to step out in faith to embrace that Hope had only death, which was already theirs. Their glimmer of Hope went out when they finished their course here without Jesus.

Everyone seemingly wants live, but Life is found by going through the fire to the Tree of Life [Jesus]. They want the special blessings of God as per Matt 5:2-15, but of course the way to those blessings is through the fire and then they will have a candle of fire... of Light... of Life! "So...

Who dies the second death? Anyone born of Adam and Eve or their offspring was in the eyes of God dead already when born to his/her natural mother. All he/she has had is a bit flesh with an unfulfilled hope which will go back to the dirt from which it came at the end his/her allotted time period...

Who is the psalmist speaking about here? "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the...

I am not really disagreeing with your posted answers but rather adding a bit more for consideration: When is this day of judgment? When has time stopped or ended? When will time stop or end? What is meant by this? "And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the...

Indeed there is that! "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." Heb 10:38 The writer indicates we are to live by faith... but what is it we are to have faith in...? One God, is it not, the One and only God, is it not? I am the LORD...
