    The false premise of Universalism

    Belief in purgatory does not have biblical basis. What is believed about purgatory by many is not really distinct from such belief that hell that people go to will have them made ready to go to heaven in any amount of time there. But Jesus Christ said that the way to life is narrow and the way...

    Bullying - A Necessary Evil? Part of natural selection?

    There are no ethical rules children have that they stick to. It should not be left to them instead of there being responsible adult supervision.

    Ask George!

    George, you do know Greek? What is Sabbaths meaning in Colossians 2:16, is it the various ceremonial days of the year designated as sabbath? Can you tell us?

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    What matters is a believer's direct reading of prophetic texts. That still won't have them understanding how it all will really work out, and if that understanding is tried it is almost certainly going to be wrong in some ways. But it would be seen that texts are about what is to come in the...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    As it says in Acts 16:31, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Do you think Yahweh God chooses who to redeem and adopt with no basis at all? What basis is there then other than that? I agree still that God choosing those who are redeemed and adopted means that none of them...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    The passages shown do not establish that Yahweh God was sending Abram from Ur to the land of Canaan and Abram knew it. Abram went with his father's family which intended to move on to the land of Canaan, but they didn't, and they stopped at Haran to live there instead. Abram went on himself...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    It would indeed mean that those spoken to, who God spits out, are unbelievers. It does not mean they lose their salvation. No verse means believers lose their salvation. Those who persist to the end are believers who give evidence of their faith and walk in Christ, which real believers generally...

    keeping his commandments

    None of us have or will live perfectly obeying Yahweh doing as the commandments from God say. Yahweh is still gracious with Jesus Christ sent into this world and the way of salvation for us shown with faith in him having it possible, with repentance that happens and it leading from sin to needed...

    What is Easter

    Easter of course is an english word that Christians today, but not really others who have Easter observances, associate with remembering the resurrection of Christ. It is not in the Bible though (translations having this word have added it in place of the word already there). The issue to some...

    The GOAL

    The "Goal" is any of us being restored to God, the redemption made available through Christ for this is to bring us out and away from life of sin, that is rebellion against God's will for our life, to have relationship with God ongoing in this restoration. It will certainly be forever, through...

    the house launches impeachment hearings

    That is like those who voted for Trump because Hillary is "evil", they heard Trump call out to "lock her up" for crimes she is guilty of, when he would win the presidency, and accuse her of collusion. But, it's different if there is basis for Trump to be investigated for that very thing? What...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    If this being the case were true, while it certainly is conceivable, it would mean all this vast, vast universe all the million million million million cubic lightyears with all the galaxies of thousands of millions of stars and the planets and other bodies going around them, have no future...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    The simple original apostolic gospel can be seen in contrast to a lot of modern Christian churches. But it is not contrary to faith in all the scriptures of the Bible. Philippians 1:21-23 Paul states, For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will...

    The Soul Survives Death

    If there were verses in the Bible showing the righteous are not yet in Heaven with Christ but in Sheol, even though souls of believers as Paul go immediately to be with Christ, and Christ is in Heaven, such that it really is better to depart from this life for that, I would see what would have...

    WORTHY

    Yes, it is important that we study seeing any of the scripture passages and not be neglecting any, learning which of the themes in the Bible they are a part of, with attention to contexts, within the text and of the cultural setting, and who is addressed. Where it was posted, 'We have indeed...

    The Soul Survives Death

    The basis of salvation is trust in God's way of salvation submitting to that, which is through Jesus Christ when he was revealed in this world. His account of Lazarus and the unresponsive rich man who knew about him was not saying wealth or poverty is basis for salvation. Rather there is just...

    I would dignify with answering a response to what I last posted in response to you. But this post is responding to the original post in this thread, from me, that you had posted a response to then, with the same points, and I responded to that adequately. It does nothing to advance any...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    That doesn't matter. Do you think God didn't know what would happen, and people would say this for saying they would not speak his name, when he said, "You should tell them this, and this is my name, to be remembered in all generations"? And the way it was said is preserved, as there was ancient...

    The Soul Survives Death

    A soul certainly continues on after death. Life is a physical phenomenon, and death is a physical state of a body as well. Immortality applies to life that can be bestowed on a body, with incorruptibility. It improperly applied as a term to a soul, people confuse that though and use that term...
