God does not punish those who are not His. He allows death to run its natural course on those who do not belong to Him. Job 24:19. "Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he...

All of those who comprised the nation of Israel were called 'sheep' by the prophets. But not all were HIS 'sheep'. As stated before, some refused to follow Him; therefore they were not OF His sheep". (see John 10:26) I commented that "Jesus' sheep that knew His voice and followed Him...

Jesus' sheep that knew His voice and followed Him were of the Jews. They were not necessarily given to Him, or at least not in the sense that they were chosen or elected. But it was a 'given' that they were His sheep since they were of the house of Israel. He told the Canaanite woman that He...

No, I no longer believe the Calvinistic doctrine. Sorry you were not able to ascertain that from what I wrote. :)

I was raised in the Calvinistic doctrine, and that is basically what the Calvinistic doctrine advocates. And you are correct. It does make people uncomfortable. It made me VERY uncomfortable. So uncomfortable that for a period of time, it wouldn't let me go all day and far into the night...

Luke 24:25 is in reference to the fact that the prophets of old had all foretold Jesus' death and his resurrection, yet not even those who were closest to him believed that this was the Jesus with whom they had walked and talked just days before he had been put to death on the cross . Psalms...

Yes, I liked that link also :)

God has no further plans for what was once called his 'holy land'. His love is now focused upon His spiritual land of Israel and its occupants. :)

Who gave the Father the message?

No, he said death reigned, or had power over them, even though they had not sinned in the same manner as did Adam. The reason why they did not sin in the same manner as Adam was because from Adam to Moses there was no written law, therefore they were not guilty of breaking the written law, but...

Most likely the child with the most dominant personality will wind up with both toys. Having a stronger or a more dominant personality than someone else is a matter of heredity and is not a sign that either child has a sinful nature. Children who are still young enough to be placed in a...

My suggestion would be that it would not be a matter of their opting for either of the two fluids. If they "know nothing else", they would not make a premeditated choice, but would drink the fluid that was the handiest for them. It would be strictly a 'helter-skelter' act on their part, but...

No one is born with a sinful nature. That 'nature', if you would want to call it that, is acquired as our intelligence grows. All human kind are pure when they are born, but are born with the propensity toward sin, and we may be 100 % sure that they will sin. It is written in the scriptures...

We all start off on the same footing. No one is 'created' bad. We are all 'created' equally good, but each with, [according to human nature which is nurtured and matured by our own intellect], a propensity toward "badness". "Badness" in some individuals is most times squelched by a proper...

Thanks Hammster. :)

THIS ? What does 'this' mean?

Being an Israelite according to the fleshly birth did not make one a son of God, but the Jews who were the offspring of the fleshly Israel believed that it was their national heritage which made them the sons of God. Power =exousia =authority (according to Strong's). That had nothing to do...

John 1:11-13 explains: John 1:11 "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of...

None of the above. :) Job 24:19. "Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree." "Those which have sinned" are...

This is a very thought provoking article. My personal conclusion on the matter is that since the drugs have no will or intellect of their own, it is the person who throws away their own ability to welcome the visitation of the Spirit by taking them. The Spirit breathes where IT WILL, and...
