    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    Ages end from what I’ve been taught, Age-during punishment lasts as long as you choose to let it happen. Ie: unbelief no rest in the soul. Agony. Not sure what you may have to offer in your understanding or take if you would like to share your point. Im far removed from most evangelical...

    Matthew 8:29 Matthew 25:41 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 6 Rev 19:20 Rev 20:3 Rev 20:10 - defeat of the devil.

    A history of failed prophecies

    Does it make sense that they would have the ability to go back and read the rest of what he had quoted? Remember he always spoke parables to everyone he was around except his disciples in private. Thank you for sharing, Marty brother.

    A history of failed prophecies

    That is alright you didn’t quote the same translation, what this reminds me of is how Jesus was the master at everything he did. Anytime he would quote scripture regardless if he stopped half way or not, was a signal for those who were around him especially the Pharisees and Scribes to go back...

    A history of failed prophecies

    Yes I’m a crazy heretic. I do believe hell was a real place but it has been thrown away. I also believe Jesus was coming back but to a specific group call the bride of Christ in that day. It’s not wrong to assume this either due to the context of the Bible. Either it is right or you believe it...

    A history of failed prophecies

    What do you think about Jesus lying to his apostles? Did the apostles also lie to those they were writing too? Even without the book, you still have to question this even so. Jesus told James, Peter and John, when they came to him privately saying when will all these things take place and then...

    Homosexuality Being Accepted And Embraced By Christians

    Sodomy is a sin. So are many other things. Unbelief is a sin. Hate is a sin. Maliciousness is a sin. Jesus paid for sin. All people bank accounts are covered. Do you believe that? Do they believe having abiding in faith, hope, and love? I can not judge, I can only read the fruit, but my own...

    A history of failed prophecies

    @GaryAnderson there is a book called Christianity Great Dilemma by Glenn Hill, and it talks about either Jesus came back when he said he was coming back or his apostles were wrong. I believe i will get it the next I’m I get a check and look and see what all it has to offer. Some many people...

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    How does people being outside the gate of the kingdom fit in to your theology then? Your understanding seems to be that of none of it has happened yet. So will there ever be a point in time after this life where this will exist? “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have...

    A history of failed prophecies

    The only thing that is for certain in this life is death. Which comes at an unknown day, and unknown time. Keep faith and trust in God having hope in everlasting life - and love while you are here.

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    I desire what God desires, and for all to come to repentance and that is not forcibly. Either in this life and also after this life. Maybe we can go help them outside the city gates. It’s all conjecture of course but wouldn’t you desire to help people come to repentance? This question is for...

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    I also believe that Jesus overcame death, and conquered over even the second death: but like I said it requires study, you seem to already believe what you believe is gonna happen in what you will see at the end of your life, @stunnedbygrace is that true?

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    I remember seeing those little comic books that shows angels throwing humans into the fire. … I’m not hoping to see this happen to people, however if they have their ‘part’ in it rather than everlasting that is a different story which is what scripture says in the first place. For...

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    I believe it has to deal with them, but I don’t know what I’m talking about. Maybe one day I’ll go through it. I did find a bunch of scriptures pertaining to the book of life. Exodus 32:33 Psalms 69:28 Daniel 12:1 Luke 10:20 Philippians 4:3 Hebrews 12:23 Revelation 3:5 Revelation 13:8;17:8...

    Was it the devil and his angels? Who was that you think?

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    Look up scripture about the book of life. See what you find. Don’t take the verse just at it is without seeking if there are anymore that talk about it. That is my encouragement.

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    @stunnedbygrace You must think for yourself. Either those things have happened or they have not. Also the context who was all of these things written for and to? The seven church’s of Asia Minor. So I can’t go in to something without first starting with chapter one then going through all the...
