And the two verses immediately preceding say: "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;" I Cor 3:11-12 The point is that if the foundation is right [Jesus Christ]...

But certainly! It is what we do with all that we have been given which will be the basis for our reward or the lack thereof: "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to...

Yes it is better to be with God than just to disappear, but if we cannot hear his voice, do we not have a problem? Some people I believe hear His voice without being always able to definitely identify it. Even as our vision needs to continue to improve as we walk with God so also must our...

What is the difference between a steward and an heir? Primarily it would be as you say in what will be ours at the end of the journey. If we are heirs already now and we have not been disinherited before then, then we will become owners. Perhaps how well we do with the responsibilities which are...

That's OK. It confirms for me that I am not alone in my ignorance of so many things. But... then do we have to know about everything in order to please God? I think not.

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Matt 12:36-37 Yet, all of us have regular talks with dead people all around us, people...

But, of course, you are presuming that science is correct in their conclusion that it was 95% unidentifiable. How much of God is identifiable? I remember one pastor I had many years ago saying that we already had more than 95% of the truth. How could he know that or how can you or I know how...

Or it the result of the "quickening spirit"...

So what does this verse mean? "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." John 3:13 I see Jesus in more than one heaven even as in another place the apostle Paul spoke of a 3rd heaven. Jesus, prior to being born to Mary in...

You have inserted a lot of details with which I have little familiarity. Oh, I know the scriptures as I have been reading all of the Bible for a very long time. I simply read and pray. Once in a while God impresses me to read or study outside of my routine reading [geared to read all of the...

In the beginning God gave man the dominion over his own actions and that was not removed by anything that Jesus did. What Jesus did was make it possible for each us given the choices given to Adam and Eve to not repeat their error. For this God has allowed each of us an allotted amount of time...

Well you are on point on the one hand, but on the other, my remark was stated with a bit of sarcasm. As to how God sees Hitler, we may guess from what we think we know of Hitler and what we think we knows of God, but... God does not guess because He does know exactly what Hitler was at the end...

Yes, leave the man alone. He is where he is no matter what we may think about him.

If we are believers or sheep and we are now hearing his voice, why did he need to be more specific? "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" John 10:27

Indeed, we are all stewards given things to care for and use. Our results are what He looks at which is according to what is in our hearts at the end of the road. Stewards do not inherit. Somewhere before inheriting a person must be elevated from steward to heir. If a person is not regularly...

People who love God and are following Him continuously will not doubt their salvation. Doubts occur because a person has been quenching the Holy Spirit and/or not eating the flesh of Jesus as they should. Without those things, no matter how high they have been, they are walking down toward the...

Well you must go with where you are and what you believe. I have no problem with understanding that death simply means the end of all perceptions for the one dead. The one who remains alive physically calls what he has "life" but from what I read in the scriptures God does not. This walking dead...

It may well be unorthodox, but it is just as biblical as the separate devil entity. Many Protestants separated from their formal connection with Catholicism. This does not mean that they necessarily separated themselves from every Catholic error.

They were dead to God, but NOT without hope. God touches on the hope here: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Gen 3:15 The skins provided were also a token of hope and an actual...

Is suicide not a type of murder? As for Adam being a devil consider: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that...
