Satan serves a purpose in helping willing individuals fulfill their earthly objective.

I agree some go to heaven with a greater Godly type Love they grow here on earth, but that just means they Love you more than you Love them back, so who is the "loser" in that scenario?

I see degrees of punishment, but degrees of blessings does not make sense?

Do not expect anything to change in them especially toward you.

How and where do you find them?

The atheists I have talked with are not looking for faith in the existence of God, but undeniable evidence (knowledge) for God’s existence. They really do not realize it takes a great deal more faith to believe “God does not exist” than to believe God does exist. As a scientist I can go into...

1. Most of the times the same thing that hardens one person’s heart will help soften the next person’s heart so it depends on their receptiveness to the truth. Just “believing” God exist without partnering with God to grow will allow you to wither. 2. God is not the one changing His mind. 3...

When you are trying to be very serious about a very serious subject (heaven or hell) can you really take people to the point of laughing out loud and not detract from others caught up in this life and death situation? I do not see Jesus or any of the others trying to get their audience to laugh...

I have listen to a lot of sermons and started wondering about the following: Is there anywhere in scripture where the preacher/teacher/prophet was trying to get his audience to laugh? Did Jesus ever try to get His audience to laugh? Jesus did tell some “almost” humorous stories, like the log...

Why can we not just get the indwelling portion of the Holy Spirit without have Christ go to the cross? Could Christ have just died and rose three days later?

So are you saying the Ransom was paid to satan? Or was it paid to some intangible like death or sin? How does Christ crucifixion help us defeat satan? Do Christians automatically quit sinning?

Christ Crucified 1. Is Christ Crucified described by Paul, Peter, Jesus, John and the Hebrew writer as a ransom type payment? 2. Paul preached 18 months in Corinth and said: 1 Cor. 2: 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. So did Paul...

Been studying Hebrews to teach an adult class and was taken back by the number of references to sacrificial blood, which got me thinking. Each week we partake of the Lord’s Supper (bread representing the body and the wine representing the blood) all in remembrance of what Christ did by/with/on...

I think individual Jewish Christians and individual Gentile Christians are being addressed in Romans 9, but as different groups. The individual would be asking Paul this about the other individuals. Paul uses two teaching methods that are taught in secular philosophy classes and are used even...

We are not in heaven yet, but we do possess a birthright (like Hebrews talks about) an inheritance (like peter talks about) that cannot be taken away, stolen or taken back even by God. BUT since it is truly ours we can like Esau sell it or give it away. If we cannot sell it or give it away...

Who do you say the ransom was paid to?

Are you suggest the ransom was paid to satan?

Have you ever been around a group of guys that did not sin? My experience went like this: I worked with prisoners program teaching Bible (one hour on Sunday morning to a group of 14 with three other Christians teach groups of 14) and taught three groups of “Christians”. The first group is...

Part of the reason for the cross being a stumbling block to the nonbeliever is the poor answer we give to this question. Is the reason preachers do not preach more on the cross have to do with a lack of understanding of the answer to this question? Is the analogy for what Christ did on the...

That is not what Ro. 9 is teaching.
