So then at the end of the road, if we have nothing but chaff and it is all burned up, what will be left of us? And then there was nothing! Not even an eternal place of torment for us!

But notice that the scripture does not specify that the skins were animal skins and it certainly does not say that any animals were killed in order to provide them. A friend of mine long ago suggested that the skins God provided were the human skin that cover each of us. Adam and Eve apparently...

Aye, even as Jesus was speaking in parables.

Yes, according to some crazy is the word. The problem may not even be whether it is true or not, but rather, how hard we may step on someone else's toes. Methinks some people have very tender feet. When it comes to the truth [God's as opposed to man's] every believer should be interested in...

@truthquest Thank you for your input here. Strange thing I do believe in the existence of demons because so many people have witnessed them as well as what is written in scriptures. My biggest problem I guess is with the Poppa Devil or Demon. Maybe he is real too. As to your video, I only...

And then so perhaps it must be! "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." Ecc 1:9

Yes, an atheist can read the Bible with a carnal understanding, but until he opens his heart he cannot know God. If a believer reads the Bible only with his own understanding, he may likewise, I believe, move toward losing his first love, which means...? Perhaps moving into delusion...

Probably every person has, or has had, some of those sacred cows. How important are they? If they interfere with our growth toward God serious consideration should be given to casting them aside.

I believe that according to @ScottA : Stated simply, you and I have a past, a present and a future, or at least our perceptions and thoughts and conclusions seem to tell us that we do. God on the other hand is on the outside of our realm of timed perceptions looking in at us. [although He can...

Give God the glory!

@Triumph1300 Welcome to the forum.

It's another one of those things that might cause a problem for any point of view taken, including mine. I am not clear on why Michael would not or could bring a railing accusation. Perhaps someone else reading this will help us on that.

No my point is not so easily proven nor is the opposing point. The important thing for each of us, as I see it, is to recognize that there is an adversary in ourselves. Is there one or more outside of ourselves? Certainly every person who stands against us as we work in the Way of God is in that...

But consider what @ScottA says with regard to time and God.

Even so. I stand corrected. Of course you are right, but if a person is really searching for truth, God's truth, in a way acceptable to God, he is likely to find exactly that truth.

Of course your quotation fits. You are not the first to suggest that it means that. According my view, there were only two in the Garden, and the satan within [described in I John 2:16] would have been the one tempting them to sin. What is a cherub? That it is anointed and then fell...

Being very honest on this, I tend to skip such lengthy writings unless I have a strong interest in the particular writing. This would usually mean because of the subject matter or because of the writer. On a controversial subject, it is unlikely that most people already opposed to you on the...

But I believe in two kinds of angels according to scripture. There are the men sent by God and there as the heavenly beings sent by God. Both would correctly be called angels of messengers.

Sorry I overlooked your post earlier... What does Jude 1:9 mean that would cause a loss of meaning? "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." Jude 1:9 The...

You brought up the possibility. I could understand someone believing that, but I do not believe it. On satan the evidence for a separate creature is there, but it is to me flimsy, whereas the evidence in the other direction is also there. I don't lean on it strongly which is why I generally...
