    Loving and Merciful God???

    Thanks for the spiritual insults; I was asking more for insight than chastisement.

    Loving and Merciful God???

    Yes, the thing that is causing a lot of confusion for myself is the time issue, and the futility of it if all of this is already written. Spiritually, "time" does not exist. That can be proven scientifically i.e. the higher the dimensions you go, the more arbitrary time is in that dimension...

    Loving and Merciful God???

    Ok, brother. I understand what you are saying and I agree. Thanks for being patient. I find myself asking the previously disclosed question, which is really a follow-up to the question: "If someone can be evil all of their life (by choice,) but be saved at the very last moment (like the...

    Loving and Merciful God???

    If you are a novice playing a grandmaster, there are still two players. I am not suggesting duality (God =/opposite of Satan,) but He could have skipped this whole process - the process of grief, sorrow and repentance for making us - if he would have destroyed Satan. Instead we are here with a...

    Loving and Merciful God???

    It sure would have been a lot easier for us lowly sinners that will meet our demise because of God and Satan's chess game. I am starting to question his love after all...

    One reason this forum hasn't worked yet...

    Ok. This is a lot to address. I bold-faced your assumptions about me. You want proof? Well, I am quite certain nothing I give you will matter, so why bother? (How is that for an assumption?) I was honestly going to post evidence, but I am a bit too perturbed with this whole website to do it...

    One reason this forum hasn't worked yet...

    lol, I am not snubbing my nose at tradition at all. However, I do believe that we all have put the focus on ceremonies, festivals, holidays, etc. and NOT the Word of God. For example, the self-proclaimed Christian may celebrate lint, easter, Christmas, or even passover, and never thing twice...

    One reason this forum hasn't worked yet...

    That may suffice for people with different beliefs, faiths, etc. But, why does it have to be like that with a body that is supposed to have the same faith? On here I see more Christians arguing with Christians than I do Christians arguing with atheists. Granted, the populations of Christians...

    Clarification sought: God walking in the Garden?

    Hi brother, Regarding Genesis 3:8-10, walking in Hebrew is "halak" which means anywhere from literal walking to a whirl. I believe it was a personification of the movement of the voice of God. I think Adam and Eve (especially before the fall), were able to hear the voice of God as if you hear...

    Decision VS Free-Will

    Maybe Rightglory meant Gehenna/Sheol/Hades (grave) and actual Lake of Fire. Either way pre-Jesus we were all spiritually dead. Post-Jesus we an be spiritually alive yet if we fail this time we go to the Lake of Fire. However, it still seems there is definitely predestination: those that will be...

    Decision VS Free-Will

    So you are saying that because something is observed (foreknown) doesn't mean it is/will happen? "The hearts of men" can be changed in other words? I am more worried about what is decreed by God, and how that plays into our free will, or lack there of.

    Do you like what you see?

    Ok, let us STOP THE DISSECTING OF WORDS LIKE SOME DO THE BIBLE. The world is a living, breathing Church. You see His glory EVERYDAY in the world and in the heavens (cosmos). Concerning humans, OF COURSE there are sinners in the world, but when CHRISTIANS fellowship in the open, do not judge...

    Why so many different Bible versions today?

    Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth! :thumbsup: :clap:
