    Christian Universalism. What's not to like?

    Sorry. Where do you get that. If one is for one age, so is the other. Changing meaning within the same sentence making one mean "one" period of time and the other a "different" number of periods of time is not in the text. Enos or monocleno would be used as a clarifier of one or "single" if...

    Christian Universalism. What's not to like?

    Yet the scripture uses the exact same word with the exact same meaning. There is no completion of one, i.e. hell and punishment not being eternal without heaven also ending and not being eternal. You can't willy nilly change the definitions in the middle of the same sentence. Unless your goal is...

    Then heaven is also going to end the exact same way and time.

    Knowing good and evil

    Mormons read the bible, Jehovah's Witnesses read the bible, Roman Catholics read the bible ... Yes, you will have to read it if you really are a workman who need not be ashamed who is cutting straight all that God has to say, and to continuously prove all things over and over again and hold fast...

    Mat 25:46 "TheseG3778 will goG565 awayG565 into eternalG166 punishmentG2851, but the righteousG1342 into eternalG166 lifeG2222." Same word is used. Both heaven and hell last exactly the same amount of time. Pick a meaning you like, but use the exact same meaning for both. Jesus did.

    Knowing good and evil

    If we don't know the difference yet ... as Christians, then we need to spend a lot more time studying, rightly dividing, proving all things obver an d over again and altering our beliefs to fit what is good ... Funny ... we can read the bible 20 hours a day and be completely disobedient to what...

    Salvation

    Mat 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Make disciples, baptize disciples and then...

    Refrigerator During Blackouts...

    We picked up a bigger solar powered generator. Running out of sun is far less likely than running out of gas or electric. https://4patriots.com/collections/power-solar/products/patriot-power-generator-1800

    I feel like I'm poison to the gospel

    3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. If you are Christlike you are going to get the same result, Those who are popular with the world are not His.

    The Parable of The Rich Man & Lazarus

    ... There are those who object to the illustration of the afterlife that Jesus presents here. There are those who propose that this is only a story and therefore is not necessarily true to life. However, notice that all of Jesus' other stories and parables were true to life. He doesn't use...

    No Wiggle Room Here

    The "Many" on the broad path that leads to destruction in Mat. 7 are the same many that believe Jesus is their Lord God and Savior that Jesus responds with, "Depart from Me ye who work iniquity for I never knew you.", later on in the chapter. The word for "narrow" to point out the difference a...

    Sign of Jonah?

    To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. But it isn't like this is an essential Christian dogma ... either way ... 3 days 3 nights... Long time in a fish.

    Covid restrictions and churches

    What I find interesting is that decades ago our own government/military did a study on mask effectiveness with viruses decades ago using thousands of volunteers. They exposed some people to the virus and let them circulate in rooms with hundreds of non-infected people. In some groups all the...

    Homeopathy...fake medicine...that does kill.

    The way I look at it is this. President Trump got COVID and was back up and running in mere days with some mostly natural treatments. Some that have been used safely and successfully for a century or more. Taking a vaccine with aborted fetal tissue in it that alters your DNA that is an...
