    What is the basis of your fascination with guns, @Edward429451? Are they a hobby or an obsession? We all have idols we have to overcome. Mine for a long time was sports. Now, after God dealt with that idol, it is a hobby but no longer an obsession, praise the Lord!

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, the whole creation, but the rebels in that same creation will have to experience God's perfect justice outside where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth." Mat_8:12 while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    These passages don't need to "confound" you, @Marston. They clearly say that a great many people will spend eternity experiencing what they already are now, God's right justice for rejecting the God who created them and who rightly requires their worship as the only true God.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    @Marston, I suggest that you study the full contexts of the passages that you so readily "quote" for the "all-things" that the passages are talking about. "All things" are limited and defined by those contexts despite your own meanings that you want to give them.

    What gifts has the lord God given you?

    I say, "Wow!" too, @Edward429451, at God's amazing providence in guiding me, like Jonah, reluctantly!!

    We never had any guns in our house when our kids were there, but I can see that your method was very effective, @Edward429451!

    What was/is the purpose of Jesus coming to Earth according to the Bible?

    Brother @Marston, when you say, "eventually ALL beings will follow Jesus," you change the text to fit your own universalist-tending ideas. Here is the context: 1Co 15:20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1Co 15:21 For as by a...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    @Marston, if you suspect that "corrupt members of the early church" changed Scripture to fit their ideas, how can you trust any of it as authentic? I believe that the Holy Spirit guided the preservation and protection of the whole Bible. What proof do you have to say that the Bible was changed...

    The unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit. Many people fear that they have committed it.

    @Edward429451, I think that we are all born with a "seared conscience." That's what Paul means when he says we are spiritually stillborn (my paraphrase): Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins Eph 2:2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the...

    are you a member of the resistance ?

    According to my understanding, a cult is a group of people who follow a leader whose word is the law of the group. If they want to leave, they will be persecuted, and the doctrines of the leader, usually a dynamic person, are the law, not really the Bible.

    Dont buy the LGBTQ mainstream lie :)

    When I was a preacher, Ezekiel 33 was a great comfort to me, since God says to the prophet that once he shares God's message faithfully with the people, he is then free of any more responsibility. They are responsible for what they do with it (my paraphrase). Eze 33:9 But if you warn the...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Amen, and he also will banish all ready-rebels from his final kingdom at the final judgment: Dan 12:2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Dan 12:3 And those who are wise shall shine like the...

    Yeah, all the rich and the poor will stand before God at the Final Judgment to account for everything we have done and said. Was it for self or for God?

    the lord god knows my heart :) and im ready for a evangelist mission with a white clothed girl.

    You might consider that it's God's will that we get married first before we have sex (or long trips :) ).

    The unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit. Many people fear that they have committed it.

    But, @Marston, the question is what the words "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" actually mean. I think that it means a whole life led in active rebellion against God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Only God knows at what point he says, "Have it your own way." If people are worried that they might...

    Dont buy the LGBTQ mainstream lie :)

    No, it means that the disciples were not to waste time on unbelievers who won't listen. It means to share the gospel or at least your witness with everyone but not to waste time trying to talk resistant people into the kingdom. Such efforts are attempts to control people, not being respectful of...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, and as the only true God of justice, he must punish sinful rebellion in his creation. For believers, he punished his own perfect Son in our place. Why? I don't know, because not one of us deserves it. Always remember that he is the perfect God of justice as the perfect Judge of unrepentant...

    Interesting argument that Jesus returned in 70 AD

    @Marston, I don't have time to watch the video, since God has given me a writing ministry in my retirement from church ministry to occupy most of my time. However, the headline is interesting, "History Proves...." It doesn't sound as though the Bible is central to Shade's ideas but that history...
