    Gehenna of Fire - Jesus stated

    Oh we do see things differently, that is alright. It is true I believe all souls are given by God and all souls go back to God to be resurrected by the one who gave them. That is okay if we differ. You are right about how the Lord mentions that their is no marriage in heaven. Thank you for...

    Can the seal be broken? Lack of trust? Grieve the Holy Spirit?

    Taken, Ive have heard that people on the street somewhere in La. Even in Church’s, and they will stop people and ask them if they have received Jesus and they will try to get them to confess and they are saved and that is one salvation they had that day. The same thing in church’s they will...

    Study to show yourself approved

    That is why teachers exist, @amadeus. And those who are mature in the faith (elders). People shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions if they are in need of help. Thank you for all your questions though, some food for thought. However not everyone is called the be teacher, with use of the...

    Eternal punishment is not the case.

    Age-during (Eternal) - as long as they desire for it to last, in my opinion, @OzSpen. They can stand outside the gate never desiring God as long as they want, and I believe our job in heaven could be going out there to help those who are in darkness. Revelation 22 states outside are they whom...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Everyone has a choice in this life, now today to either seek for God or not seek for God. You have your testimony and they have their free will choice to believe or not. Totally up to them. All we have is Christ Jesus to share.

    Study to show yourself approved

    It would be tiring to the flesh wouldn’t it? It is good to take a break from time to time, but however does that mean to set aside and put the book back up on the self ? Do you need the word of God in your life and set a time to study it for a hour or so? My study times are random if I do it at...

    Gehenna of Fire - Jesus stated

    Aunty Jane, Thank you for your sharing the way you see and understand things with me. I don’t fully grasp everything you are stating to me however, and that may be due to my own ignorance. Thank you for answering my question. Subsequently is it wrong to suggest that most Jewish people did...

    Study to show yourself approved

    Some suggest that contending for the faith is like a boxing ring in which two contestants battle it out with each other. However in the book of Jude it says this, Though we are sure Jude is writing to believers, in that age in time, sometime in the early Ads, Jude writes: “Judas, of Jesus...

    Study to show yourself approved

    Hello Ronald, What does contend for the faith mean to you? My main thing is still encouraging people to go the word and check and see if something someone in what they are presenting is true or not, because it is good to study, because the word of God is what helps a person over all to have a...

    Study to show yourself approved

    “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “be diligent to present thyself approved to God — a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬...

    Tithing

    Victory, the citizenship of heavenly economy, rich in the Lord Jesus Christ, blessed by the holy spirit, having a relationship with God without the need of a material building. In my best estimation.

    Can the seal be broken? Lack of trust? Grieve the Holy Spirit?

    Remember the parable of the sower, the seeds that scatted on different heart ground? Always think about Jesus and what he said in what he said to the disciples when they asked what did those things mean. Reject the doctrine of men my friends, please think for yourself and don’t forget what...

    Can the seal be broken? Lack of trust? Grieve the Holy Spirit?

    Someone mentioned a few months ago, they had a friend who was on fire in the faith for 10 years, all to suddenly come out to say they didn’t believe in that stuff anymore. What happened? He got into seeking other avenues rather than God, and the spirit of doubt came along and the man feed that...

    Can the seal be broken? Lack of trust? Grieve the Holy Spirit?

    Taken, Subsequently people can renounce their faith at anytime, becoming unbelieving. Believers however are to maintain their faith, by believing and praying, and holding on to the promises of God. That is their security which is a constant maintained relationship, with God. Simply confessing...

    Gehenna of Fire - Jesus stated

    What life application scenario would you give for your question as I don’t full understand it really, Sbg? Could it be someone trying to undermine you? Could it be someone trying to put words in your mouth? Could it be someone trying to push your buttons just for the sake of it? Could it be...

    In context it’s dealing with court. There would no cause if you acting with the Holy Spirit?

    Gehenna of Fire - Jesus stated

    Believe that is helpful and encouraging to go and seek different translations to get possibly a better understanding of the passage, maybe checking into Greek words. Without a cause seems to be outlandish towards others when their was never a cause to begin with. The Pharisees and scribes where...

    Gehenna of Fire - Jesus stated

    Going through writing some more verses down, in Matthew 23:15;22 “‘Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen — ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves. ‘Woe to you, Scribes...
