    What is the "Abomination of Desolation"?

    You are confusing the effect with the cause: The root cause of desolation is the attack on Christ in God, which happened before the foundation of the world. The effect are those things in history (His story) that give account through manifestations. This is the reading of the last will and...

    Does God have Free Will?

    That is all good, but does not address the end of each of the factors. If "God is the same yesterday, today, and forever", and also "perfect"...then to add "all in all", simply brings us to the dilemma of the idea considered over time. At which place, "I am" includes all of the "above", but is...

    Does God have Free Will?

    Of course the use of a biblical principle could not get past the wall of your personal begrudgery. Makes since.

    Does God have Free Will?

    That again, assumes change in whom there is no change. The idea of God having a "nature", is somewhat of a departure also. It suggests that He is less infinite than should be attributed to Him. Created things and people have "nature", because they fall into a "type", "interest" or "influence"...

    The slaying of the Lamb before the foundation of the world.

    Does God have Free Will?

    That's not biblical. Fruit. Kinda tells the whole tale.

    Does God have Free Will?

    How so? Please elaborate. That is, if you can stop with your derogatory criticisms. Otherwise, butt out, go back to school and learn a little more about what you are being critical of. And by the way, my comment was clear and concise.

    Does God have Free Will?

    Yes, and that is the error.

    Does God have Free Will?

    I am enjoying the exchange between you and @Episkopos. It is a good thing to contemplate. Thanks! But here you suggest that freedom is a limitation on our Unlimited God, making "freedom" the wrong term. Choosing perfection exclusively is in itself perfection. However, the mystery of God, is...

    Does God have Free Will?

    The question is in error. God is ("I am"), "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Yet the question infers a will for the future that is different tomorrow than today.

    MATTHEW 28 IS IT OUR COMMISSION? *****

    For this very reason, women (meaning: the bride) should be silent in church.

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    I love this! The best indication of effect is the buzz :) But seriously, the "word of our testimony" during these time shares the headline with "the blood of Christ." It is no small matter, and yet often times is misunderstood even by ourselves, because of all the would-be conflict. And yes...

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    So proud. Check.

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    No, it is your assumption that is wrong. Not only wrong, but upside down and backwards. What you consider "literal" is a mere "creation", an "image" a "likeness", "vanity" (meaning "nothing"), while the only actual "literal" reality is spiritual, because "God is spirit." How is it that you have...

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    1 Corinthians 15:46 "However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual."

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    Go ahead, say it...you just hate me. Come on, it's obvious, don't hold back, just say it!

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    Have you learned nothing? When Christ came, the good people of Israel said much the same thing because things did not seem to live up to their great expectations...and they too were wrong. If you don't think (or believe) the days of of Noah live up to the great expectation of Revelation...you...

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    Mark...this is personal. But it is you, not me, who has reached your limit and is holding to the the elementary principles of Christ, which Paul preached against. Now, it is I who am preaching the same to you. But it is not against the truth, and not against the promises and prophesies of...

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    Yes, there is a chasm and it is a leap...which is spiritual discernment. The words are spirit, and otherwise confounded by God. The same God who that you do not believe has created both light and darkness, has also confounded all language and put it under guard of the Spirit, making the words...

    Could the disciples have lost their salvation?

    No blood? No blood of Christ? No fire? No Holy fire? No darkness? No darkness from the sixth hour until the ninth hour? Go back and read the gospels :rolleyes:
