JohnLove you have said that Jesus told us to be perfect and that not to be perfect is a sin. You also said if we sin after we have become a christian we cannot repent. So I just want everyone to know that you are either admitting that you are lost with no possibility of repentance or you...

So some people seem to think that a born again believer can sin and lose his or her salvation. However 1st John 3:9 says "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him and he cannot sin because he has been born of God." Now the greek word for sin here in this verse...

True Christianity is unique. All other religions throughout the world teach that the method for obtaining salvation is being good. All other religions teach that the way to be saved is A. Join their religion. B. Serve their god faithfully by following his rules. C. Continue to do good...

The correct order: Regeneration, Metanoia, Faith, Justification, and Metamelomai Most Calvinists nowadays think that Regeneration causes repentance from sin and then Faith... which of course brings justification. I used to believe that for a short time too. Years ago I realized that that is...

Hi "Kingj" hope you are having a good day. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Anyway I wanted to point out one thing... I still cannot find a place even in Revelation where it says that humans will be tormented forever. I do see where it says the devil and the beast...

Hello Kingj. You know I agree with you that the thought of hell is destressing. That is one of the reasons I studied quite a bit about it. I did read Edward Fudge's book on "The Fire that Consumes". That is a very scholarly work. I believe that the traditional view is incorrect but at...

Here is something interesting…tell me what you think. In Hebrews 6 we notice the term “eternal judgment.” What is eternal judgment? Hebrews 6:1-2 “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of...

(Matthew 7:21-23) “It is not those who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord’, who will enter the kingdom of Heaven but the person who does the will of My Father in Heaven. When the day comes many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, work many miracles...

You didn't need to tell me that you didn't read all my arguments because it was totally clear from the fact that most of the arguments you made were already dealt with and defeated in my earlier posts. I suppose all of us have jumped in at the last part of a series of posts and said things that...

We are just about done folks... here is number 11 11. Hell is not eternal conscious torment because if we say that it is we are breaking the rules of Biblical Hermenutics. Hermenutics are the principles of interpretation. One of the most important principles of Biblical interpretation is that...

In one sense Satan does believe... he believes that there is one God... in another sense he doesn't. He doesn't believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for his sins (because Jesus didn't do that) and he doesn't trust Jesus to save him. Have a good day.

Luke 18:9-14New King James Version (NKJV) The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector 9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector...

"What you seem to believe was never accepted by the Christian Church before the Reformation." What you seem to believe was that the church was christian before the reformation. There were probably thousands of illiterate pesants who were in that "church' who looked at the cross and believed...

I don't want to be misunderstood. I certainly am not saying that there is no hell. Unbelievers will die and will face the judgement and will be punished for their sins. Jesus said this in Luke 12 46the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he...

Those who are saved by grace through faith alone in Christ alone are the only ones who can do God's will. All others serve God with wrong motives. Those who attempt to be saved by works do their works for selfish reasons... to save themselves. Those who have been saved by grace and not by...

10. Hell is not eternal conscious torment because if the wages of sin is death then it makes perfect sense that Christ had to die to pay for our sins. If, however, the wages of sin is living forever in fire, then Christ did not pay the penalty for our sin because He certainly did not burn and...

In Jesus' day salvation was thought to be for Jews and not for Gentiles. If a Gentile wanted to leave his country and move to Israel and worship in the court of the Gentiles he could be saved but for the rest of the multitudes of Gentiles in other nations it was believed that salvation was not...

Yes, you may be correct about the angels... I haven't studied that much so I don't have much of an opinion about it. Anyway here are reasons 7, 8 and 9 (I think reasons 10 and 11 may be the best ones) 7. Hell is not eternal conscious torment because the Old Testament consistently teaches...

Atheistic scientists say that you don't have to have a cause for an effect when they are at a loss to explain how the universe began. Then so that they don't look like they are just sore losers in an argument, they come up with some "scientific" theory in the attempt to justify their refusal to...

The way I see it atheistic science and Theism are in a competition and Theism is ahead 1 to 0. Here is why. To the question how did matter get here atheists says A. it always existed or B. It just suddenly came into existence A. doesn't make sense because with A. you have an effect...
