being a former traditionalist for 15 years, yes i have. >>I believe the Greek word “Gehenna” could possibly describing Hades (the place of hell)<< they are not the same place. you make that claim because you take Luke 16:19-31 literally. I dont. exactly. both Sheol and Hades are the same...

Bible Highlighter, i already know what these words mean Sheol is the abode of the dead for both the righteous and the unrighteous Hades is the Greek equivalent to Sheol Gehenna is a valley in Jerusalem that, at the time, was used as a garbage dump. people threw their refuse and garbage into the...

normally, Conditionalists don't, at least, from what I've seen. I know Chris Date would say otherwise, but i honestly think he says that from an administrative perspective sine he is seen as a leader in the "Rethinking Hell" community and one of the main content providers for the website, and if...

i feel the same way when it comes to UR... i honestly think that those who say they're UR and also claim to be evangelical in their approach are contradicting themselves. how can Jesus be the only way when one doesnt have to do anything in order to be saved if they're going to be saved...

wow, in that whole conversation, not one mention of actual evangelism: ~ "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the father but by Me" John 14:6 ~ "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts...

going to the scriptures to look for Biblical answers is never a waste of time. and your response tells me that either: ~ you havent done actual extensive study on this (because if you have, and this truly was biblical, you'd "earnestly contend for the faith" Jude 1:3) ~ you dont really care what...

scripturally prove to me how what i said is wrong. why should someone change their ways if they're eventually going to be saved regardless of if they change or not?

you're welcome. i know you're a universalist... i was simply taking universal reconciliation to its logical conclusion. if everyone is going to be saved no matter what anyone does in this life, then there truly is no need to be like Christ or live like Christ lived. i ask you: if UR is true...

i voted Conditionalism for the grand majority of my childhood, teenage, and young adult life, i held to the view of eternal torture because i never once questioned what i was taught, nor did i study the scriptures to see what they themselves had to say about the matter. When i became older in my...

Matthew 25:1-13 gives us a particular point of view concerning the return of Jesus Christ... 1“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish...

1.) the strengthening of a treaty between Israel and the surrounding nations for a period of seven years (Daniel 9:27) 2.) the construction of a third Jewish temple 3.) the man of lawlessness entering into said third temple, putting a stop to the twice daily sacrifices, and proclaiming he is God...

I'm in 100% agreement with you about the pre-trib rapture doctrine is nothing more than escapism... i used to hold to this belief so passionately, so blindly, never once actually reading what the scriptures say about the topic... i still remember being awestruck by the thought of it as a child...

while Bible never says what "kind" of nations are going to be in this 10-nation confederacy, and while charles may play a role in the WEF, i dont think nations like the US and the UK will be in this 10-nation confederacy if you're referring to the Abraham Accords, that wasn't Trump's doing...

i dont see why it would be... besides, the bill is not saying the US wants to join the bill, the article says that the US is going to "facilitate cooperation between Israel and several Arab states", meaning the US would act just as a mediator, creating a document that these ten nations can use...

personally, i suspect the ten horns/ten toes are the nations mentioned in the D.E.F.E.N.D. Act US bill seeks Israeli security cooperation with Arab states against Iran

if you want to know the differences between Dispensational premillennialism and chiliasm (historical premillennialism), go read the writings of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Papias of Hierapolis, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus

i have no desire to continue a conversation with a squawking parrot, which is why I'm ignoring you, now but for those who have been reading along, jgr is committing the guilt by association fallacy... he's claiming that I'm a catholic just because i hold to futurism. well, truth is, most...

no. I'm not a Catholic. how in the sam hill did you come to THAT ridiculous conclusion?? once again, you're wrong. the ante-Nicene church (which means the church prior to the Nicene Council, which was held in 325AD) was neither Catholic, Protestant, or Greek Orthodox. They were simply...

Larkin is a despensational hereetic, and spreads the same lie that you spread today. like i said, the early church held to futurism. i have the actual quotes to back up that claim, and shared at least one from Hippolytus with you earlier. you can scream heresy and apostasy until you're blue in...

your reply is the very definition of "cavalier dismissal". i really dont give two flips of a wodden nickel about what the Reformers thought about the millennium. as far as I'm concerned, the majority of them are heretics, since they hold to Calvinism. the fact of the matter remains: the...
