does Christ know how many mansions to build?

[Ferris Bueller]

the scripture tells us exactly why people, in fact the majority of people, choose & receive damnation:

And this is the condemnation,
that The Light has come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
(John 3:19)

Well, gee. I wasted all that time reposting what you posted, lol.

hmm


((consults inspired text))

Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 3438: μόνη​

μόνη, μόνης, ἡ (μένω) (from Herodotus down), a staying, abiding, dwelling, abode: John 14:2;
μόνην ποιεῖν (L T Tr WH ποιεῖσθαι, as in Thucydides 1, 131; Josephus, Antiquities 8, 13, 7; 13, 2, 1), to make an (one's) abode,
παρά τίνι metaphorically, of God and Christ by their power and spirit exerting a most blessed influence on the souls of believers, John 14:23; see ποιῶ, 1 c.

ain't seeing "offices" anywhere here, m8.

"and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." - Rev. 1:6

"And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.” - Rev. 5:10


"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" - 1 Pet. 2:9

You don't see it because you're looking in the wrong place.

um, you said 'consult the text' and then said that a word should be translated as a completely different word.
so i looked at the original language and the word in question has never meant what you said it should be.

then you put some other verses that don't even have that word in it.

the point is that you wanted to change what the text actually says, and you don't have any rational basis for doing so.

what you are doing isn't showing that Christ's words are mistranslated.
what you are doing is arguing that Christ said the wrong words.

Yet he claims that he goes STRICTLY by Scripture, but no one else does!

 

[Bob Estey]

if that were true, then everyone would be trying to get saved. we know thats not true. You talk like a universalist.

I suppose if God could talk everyone into being saved, he'd be called great.

 

[Bob Estey]

ok, then let me remind you again:



and as i earlier wrote to you, i'll write again also -- that the scripture tells us exactly why people, in fact the majority of people, choose & receive damnation:

And this is the condemnation,
that The Light has come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
(John 3:19)​

We've all chosen darkness at some point in our lives.

 

[Bob Estey]

Because they love darkness.

"...men loved the darkness rather than the Light..." John 3:19​

But when we sin, our lives become very painful.
