That's not a parable, but you could believe it if you like. No problem. Why do you believe this?

The elect is who God elected. Who did Good elect? Israel. To bring salvation through this nation, as Romans 9 to 11 teaches. There's no such thing as non elect.

Gehinnom is the Hebrew. I guess gehenna is the English translation.

I know a priest who believes in nihalism because he says God cannot send His creatures to an eternal hell. And another one that believes hell lasts a moment. Jesus spoke of a place where God is not. An outer darkness. That's hell.

You're right. We can only know what God wants us to know about Him. We certainly cannot know everything.

Right. But didn't God know us first from before we were born? This is why one verse is never made into a doctrine. As some tend to do...

Yes. They were offended. The church of that time, the Catholic Church, was charging for forgiveness of sin and release from purgatory. Ephesians 2:8 got the Protestant ball rolling, as I'm sure you know.

What's that mean?! Oh boy did i !!!!!!

John 5:39??

So if I stay awake till 4 am and sleep on my right side, I'll live a long time? But really, I'm sorry to hear you have heart problems.

How about sleeping on your left side????

Trouble is, we can't go fast enough. Too bad!

Wow. What a thinker! I was always amazed by two things: 1. If you go into outer space and come back after years of travelling fast, you'd find everybody you knew dead, but you'd still be young. 2. The w.c. water, when flushed, spins the other way (counter clockwise) south of the equator.

Einstein agrees with you.

God can only will for good. He is all good and can want only good. I do not attribute evil to God. Even Jesus was full of grace, no room for evil. In God's sovereignty He can do what He wants to, but He will never go against His nature. 2 Timothy 2:13 speaks to this. His nature is love, God IS...

Stranger, the difference is that God gives man the opportunity to be saved! It's man's choice. We end by agreeing to disagree.

So to you the Bible is like any other book? And every traditional Christian is narrow minded? Like the narrow road Jesus spoke of. I'm happy to be narrow minded. God is always the same and does not change.

Because I don't understand your distinction. If we have a will, it is either free or not but it can't just be a will. Maybe the way you use it is like this: God wills that all men be saved. But this only means "wants". God would want all men to be saved...but not all men want to be saved. It's...

This I know about angels,,,they already were in heaven and decided to leave it. I don't think we know enough about angels to speak about them. I certainly don't. Do you feel angels are like man? Then why didn't God provide a way back for them? What do you think? We know God provided a way of...
