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

    You're misunderstanding this verse. It's saying that Adam brings death to all but that Jesus brings life to all.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    I was once confounded by these scriptures that you just shared. Let me ask you; how do you reconcile a Bible telling you that some people are forever punished while also stating that all people will be reconciled back to God?

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    I believe that Jesus died for all. Do you believe that God put Satan into this world and that Satan is doing exactly what God intends for him to do? I do. Or do you believe that Satan is operating in this world against God's will?

    All good my brother. I'm new too!

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    It doesn't exist my brother. How can all things be reconciled back to God the Father if some beings are being punished forever? The original Greek scriptures never spoke of forever punishment. There is indeed punishment but it is temporary and for the purpose of correction and restoration...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    As I shared earlier, it is God's WILL that ALL THINGS be reconciled back to him, as Paul said in his letter to the Ephesians. God also told us in Isaiah that he accomplishes ALL that he desires. Jesus told us that the Gates of Hell will NOT prevent him from succeeding. There is a boatload...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Faithful Christians are ASSURED of going straight to Heaven. The wicked will go to the LOF and we know that we do NOT want to be sent there! The doctrine of Universal Reconciliation does NOT teach that people can be evil and still go straight to Heaven. Universal reconciliation teaches that...

    Did Jesus come to unite ALL THINGS back to God the Father?

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    The scriptures speak for themselves, my brother. I encourage you to read them and then determine for yourself if they indicate that all will be with God.

    Isaiah 52:10 The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Titus 2:11 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, Luke 19:10 ESV "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    The proverbial " Lake of Fire" (LOF) is a metaphor to describe a process of refining and purification. It is not for the purpose of endless torture. My suspicion is that corrupt members of the early church changed scriptures that described "age-during" correction into "everlasting torment". As...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    All according to his plan my brother. God is working within us for our edification and development. God allows us to be lost from him to a certain extent and for a limited period of time, not "forever". Lamentations 3:31 For the Lord will not cast off forever

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Jesus's mission is to unite ALL THINGS back to the Father. Jesus said the "Gates of Hell" (most English translations) will NOT prevail! This means that nothing and nobody will prevent Jesus from successfully fulfilling his mission! Matthew 16:18 CLNT 18 Now I, also, am saying to you that you...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    God told us in Isaiah that he DOES "get his way". Please see the verses above. We have limited free will. God doesn't force anybody to follow the Son, but he gives them the ability to repent and all the time needed for the lost to change their hearts and follow Jesus. That's essentially what...

    What exists in Heaven that needs to be united in God? My GUESS is fallen angels.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Just what Paul wrote, my brother, all things on Earth and all things in Heaven. 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Amen my brother. God tells us in Isaiah that he accomplishes all that he desires. God wants ALL beings to be reconciled back to him and he sent Jesus to do it. It WILL happen! 1 Timothy 2:3-4 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved...
