what was also well established by JESUS is in order to be counted GOOD , made righteousIn this Jesus asked an evasive question that required more faith than the religious leader was willing to muster. Because that leader was not ready to say Jesus is God. Jesus was also not ready to declare his nature publicly so he allowed people to make their own assumptions.
What was established by Jesus here is that being good hinges on being God.
None of the above, but if I HAD to pick one it would be no.6.What makes a doctrine false?
Please quote what you would like to respond to. Thanks.
1. You've never heard it before. (knee-jerk defensive response)
2. You have heard of it before, but assume it's false. (haven't looked into it)
3. Doesn't align with your church's doctrine (your church would say it is false)
4. Doesn't align with your personal doctrine (your views differ)
5. YOUR "Bible" says it is false. (other biblical opinions don't matter)
6. It makes you uncomfortable. (therefore it must be wrong)
7. Everyone knows it's false. (except those who believe it)
that was A LIE . but its not the only lie . THE LIE that unites all as one
and yet cannot save , IS just doey good and it dont matter what religion one was in .......
THAT BE THE LIE that do unite and yet KILLETH .
THE DELUSION of the inclusion has come forth to unite all religoins and all tribes

BEWARE the abraham peace accords , IT DID NOT COME OF TRUMP , IT CAME OF THE VATICAN
though trump did help to usher it in . BEWARE the religious tolerance act
IT TOO CAME OF THE VATICAN . beware the liberal agenda , beware men . TRUST ONLY IN GOD , IN CHRIST
and GET DUG IN THAT BIBLE FOR LEARNING AND REFRESHING .
JESUS comes within us at our birth in HIM . but , make no mistakeTrue, but the specific lie referred to by Paul, was regarding the spiritual transition that was to occur with Christ's "soon" return. Left in the hands of men of flesh and blood, many were convinced that He had not returned even though He was again among us even until the end of the age.
They just couldn't see Him with their worldly eyes of flesh, even though He said, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more..." John 14:19
Many still expect the world to see Him again...and that is the way it is written in their false doctrines, taught, and preached. Such is the sign of many a false doctrine.

they also talked about a SECOND COMING and that HAS NOT YET OCCURED
WHEN IT DO , if one is not flying up , DUCKING N WAILING is all that will be heard by them .
neither .Then, I must ask:
Regarding the second coming of Christ, which do you deny, His coming into the world in the flesh, or His coming into you in spirit?
Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about Universalism. Or at least Christian Universalism.IMO Universalism is like communist-collectivism. It does not work in practice because it does not take into account the reality of individualism and individual choices, whereas God does take it into account, and has taken it into account. God is not going to turn humans made in His own image and likeness into animals living by instinct so that He can cause their natural animal instinct to follow Him. He allows time for those who will never change to prove that they will never ever change.
That's a great question.The greatest question to ask of concern during these times should be:
What is the "lie" and who are the "false teachers" foretold to bring "destructive doctrines" into the church causing "strong delusion"--and have I believed them?
Most have.
Does that age of restoration begin before or after the casting of death and hades into the lake of fire and of all individuals whose names were not found in the book of life into the lake of fire, which is also called the second death?Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about Universalism. Or at least Christian Universalism.
It's different from Unitarian Universalism.
Christian Universalism takes into account "the reality of individualism" in that each one
will be evaluated and corrected or rewarded for their deeds. There is no escape from answering for your life choices.
There will be an age of restoration to bring everyone into alignment with God.

Good question.Does that age of restoration begin before or after the casting of death and hades into the lake of fire and of all individuals whose names were not found in the book of life into the lake of fire, which is also called the second death?
neither .
i agree with both .
But the second coming paul spoke of what is actual coming to destroy the wicked and to call up those are still alive .
just a friendly reminder .
Good question.
It would begin before all that. And even redefines some of that.
In reference to salvation. Everyone is already saved by the atoning work of Christ.
But the individual relationships still need to be healed. Even for believers.
You are familiar with the wood, hay and stubble that needs to burn?
Anyone who has knees to bow and a tongue to speak, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (in the realm of the dead), will whole-heartedly, and without reservation, acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. No one can say that “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved. Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. (the reason for the bodily resurrection) Scriptural support below.
Philippians 2:10-11
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 14:9
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that
he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
Note on "acknowledge" in Philippians 2:11 from Strong's Concordance
S1843 eksomologéō (from 1537 /ek, "wholly out from," intensifying 3670 /homologéō, "say the same thing about") – properly, fully agree and to acknowledge that agreement openly (whole-heartedly); hence, to confess ("openly declare"), without reservation (no holding back).
Further reading: Isaiah 45:23; Romans 14:11; Revelation 15:4

Consider this.IMO It does not mean they will acknowledge that Jesus is Lord before it's too late rather than when it's too late.
That's a great question.
Unfortunately, It seems that each tribe brings their own view to the table.
And we end up destroying the Body of Christ with "friendly fire".
Too much finger pointing. "If only they would do it our way!"

Acknowledging Jesus as Lord does not always equate to salvation. The confessing Jesus as lord being equated with salvation which the apostles were talking about in the context of the passages you quoted is also linked to faith (believing) that Jesus is Lord during the age of restoration before being forced to acknowledge He is Lord when they stand powerless before Him when He judges.Consider this.
This scripture says EVERY knee and EVERY tongue...
"... in heaven and on earth and under the earth..." (in the realm of the dead)
Basically, everyone everywhere.
Philippians 2:10-11
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
