This is one of the WORST interpretations of Scripture I've ever read so I had to comment. "Walking in darkness" from 1 John 1:6 is talking about a lifestyle of sin NOT a Eschatological position. Do you REALLY think that Jesus is going to return and say to someone, "Well, you DID believe in my...

this times one million :thumbsup: I feel like the OP, while peppered with truth, was a veiled attempt at excusing some wild belief about God/endtimes/salvation/sin/faith, etc, which they may or may not share on these boards. I am a FIRM believer that we must have TEACHABLE minds and a...

This post is so full of godly wisdom! Thank you for having a humble heart LastSeven :thumbsup:

Awesome post, thanks so much! Some of the responses were weird but your post is backed up by Scripture. Jesus said the greatest man born of a woman was John the Baptist. I have begun believing the last couple years of my life that to please God the most in my life is through humble obedience...

this times 2345937459837458934753! Thank you for the most succinct and full human summary i have ever seen on this website (or any other website for that matter). :thumbsup::amen::clap:

You had me until the last sentence. The new Heaven and new Earth will be perfect and there will be no trials or tribulations ever again. We will be in the presence of our Lord forever and shine like the stars. Perfect, perfect. unless you just worded it badly and meant the old Earth, with it's...

i'm glad you and son flower have been given this "secret knowledge" that flew over the heads of the greatest theologians from the past 2 millenia. Maybe you should be writing theology books and commentaries on the Scripture since "God has revealed" this secret understanding of Satan to you :D Oh...

You are right, by definition, God cannot be good if He creates evil. I'm glad Scripture never says He does. Ezekiel 28 does refer to Satan, I'm sorry you can't see that. Orthodox Christianity has taught that for the last 2000 years. So i guess all the thousands of great saints of our faith that...

And now you are putting words in my mouth :wave: i of course believe evil can be used for good, otherwise what was the cross of Christ? What i don't believe is that God creates that evil, otherwise, by definition, He could not be called Good. It defies logic and Scripture. Ezekiel 28 is...

ok, my mistake. I was under the impression you and yeshuasavedme were saying that Satan was not a created being, which i disagree with. But you were just saying that Satan was not a holyl angel, that fell, which i also disagree with. So going back to my previous post, KJV mistranslates the...

only because i was discussing this in another thread, but the KJV mistranslates the Hebrew in this verse. Evil should be translated calamity or disaster. God is perfect (Heb. 5 and other places) and therefore can not create evil. He can though and does create calamity (natural disasters) and did...

There is no other Creator. God allows evil to stand for a time and when the FULLNESS of time comes He will put an end to it all. How do you explain John 1:3? It says apart from Him (God,Jesus,Holy Spirit) NOT ONE THING was created. So are you one that likes to pick and choose which...

Yeah, i would like son_flower and yeshuasavedme to respond to this post. God's Word says specifically that Satan is a fallen angel. Also, in the creation account God called EVERYTHING Good that He made. So if you two believe there are satan's that were never fallen and were always bad you...

interpretation of above post = layin' the smack down! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: very good post. thanks Crypto!

I see what you did there.....:D on a serious note, i agree with you. :thumbsup:

Eschaton, your error is believing that God's ability to communicate is at the MERCY of human institutions. You reference the Roman Government and Printing costs, etc, but you don't have faith that God has communicated to us in His Word the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. If...

Good Words. People that like to rip on Obama drink too much of the Foxnews Koolaid. It's funny that they call themselves Christians and yet they have an attitude towards their President in line with a news network rather than the Bible (Matt. 7:1; Heb. 13:17; 1 Tim. 2:1-2). Only those with the...

why don't you enlighten the readers here instead of writing a post with no information?

that's called bringing reality and perspective to "heresay" :thumbsup:
