God is good and just, but don't expect His goodness and justice to line with yours or with men's. I don't know all of the answers, and some answers I do know I won't share with you because of where you are and where you are not. I will say that we need to trust God about things we do not...

@Taken I won't go through all of your response in writing here. I thank you my friend, however, for your lengthy explanations which I have read carefully and about which I will continue to pray. With some of it I agree wholeheartedly. With a few things my heart is unsettled and probably in...

What I see my friend is God's plan to restore what Adam and Eve had and then to go one step further, if we would cooperate, to qualify us to partake of the Tree of Life. Adam and Eve were already qualified to eat of the Tree of Life but went to the other forbidden tree instead. They did not have...

I could continue this going over every line of scripture you cite or cite other scriptures myself but... To me... you haven't proven I am wrong nor that you are right. Neither have I proven these things to you. This is not likely to be changed by this conversation. God alone is always right...

6"9 No, none who make it to the end with Him will be lost, but some will walk away from Him before that. Indeed not, no external thing! "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor...

If they had eaten from the right tree they would have had that, but they chose and partook of the wrong tree. We still have the ability to choose wrong. We will have that choice while we still have time. If we really believe in Him and continue to do so, we will indeed never die. People do stop...

On their own they cannot know it! "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21 Men already...

Better than what God gave through Moses, perhaps, but how is it better than what Adam and Eve had before they disobeyed?

What do we have in us today that Adam and Eve did not? "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" Gen 2:7 The Breath [Spirit] that made man a Living Soul came from God! But then they died when they...

You may not have read some of my posts on other threads, but I have made clear that I am what some label an annihilationist. That is I don't believe that all who miss the mark or fail to make it the end of their course with Him suffer then without end. To me they are simply dead... and the dead...

I purposely avoided attempting to define in my response to you because, whether I defined it correctly or not, would not change what sin actually is. You presume that every man called Christian falls into the same places of error which caused you to turn away from God. The man who will endure...

Based on my personal knowledge I could not say definitely but based on my experience with the KJV you would have to be correct.

Our sins don't count anymore! Really? This means if after repenting and being filled with His Spirit and following carefully His Way for a while, I then choose to slip away a little and sin a little, it is OK. God gives then to me something He would not give to those in the OT who had to die...

I guess that would depend upon exactly what sin is, wouldn't it?

Without regard to the very cost of everything these days, it is a rare new movie shown in a theater that I could or would sit through even once. But to be fair now sometimes when I watch old movies that I had naively enjoyed when I was young I now recognize some underlying messages which do not...

Some will say that, but consider the alternative of going the way that so many [most] men choose to go. How does a man move away from the pain and destruction that is all around us? I know my answer, but I readily admit that others will not see or understand my answer. God really does have a...

I wasted too much time on all of that out there already. Now at age 75 I wish my focal point to be God and the things of God as He leads. Man has lots of answers but ultimately few real solutions. Does God have more? Without a doubt, the question is, How much is He willing sharing to with us...

But what you have failed to see is that God always had and has a plan which includes within it you and me and all of the others guys. We have alternatives but ultimately they are: God or mammon. Man likes to seek out the many varieties of mammon according to his own interests and/or pleasures...

They were not cartoons but full length movies starring a group of boys belonging to a gang in New York City [on the Bowery]. Their movies [all black & white to my recollection] were produced from the early 1940's into the 1950's. The Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies were usually along with them...

Indeed, it is rarely the grammar or spelling or modern versus ancient usage that is the problem. A good translation in the secular should convey the intended meaning of the original author. Should this not be even more important with the scriptures if they are indeed a message(s) from God...
