    Good News?

    gmm4j, You said, What I meant by the gospel being the good news is that we don't know who are the elect but it's possible for anyone who hears the gospel, that they could be one of the elect, God's chosen people. So there is a great hope for anyone. Great hope for anyone? Not if you...

    Good News?

    What I meant by the gospel being the good news is that we don't know who are the elect but it's possible for anyone who hears the gospel, that they could be one of the elect, God's chosen people. So there is a great hope for anyone. Yes I agree that the gospel has some bad news to it too...

    Good News?

    I believe the gospel is good news. Whether it will be rejected or well received. As I lean more towards the Calvinist belief and theology, salvation is only available for the elect. If God paid for everyone sins, there would be no more debt owed to God and everyone would be redeemed and be in...

    Longed to Gather Them, Really?

    Jesus wept over them because he knew what their ultimate destiny will be, under the wrath of God forevermore. I'm sure God gets sad at times because he knows majority of the people of the earth will not go to heaven, it just the sad truth.

    Could Someone Critique My Work?

    It's pretty good overall. There are a few words that are misspelled so you probably won't proof read it again. Since we are on the topic of your book, what do you think about principalities, are these a separate creation that was made before us? Ephesians 3:10 seems to suggest that.

    Living with Narcissist and *T-EA*, Still Hoping

    findingmeagain, If your husband is indeed a NPD, maybe I can share a story with you of the experience my mother and myself of the things we went through. My Dad met my mother when she was in college and he swept her off of her feet. Very charming, charismatic, very talkative and know how...

Does anyone know what's this symptom is called or what...

    Question

    ProScribe, You're right it wasn't a manifestation but it was manifested (to reveal) in the time era. The cross was not the actual payment but rather a demonstration of what was done before the world. And to correct on what I said on the second paragraph, I meant to say from Abel until Christ...

    Question

    Proscribe, The bible teaches me that Christ was slain from the foundation and the death of Christ on the cross was simply a manifestation, more like a earthly portrait of what Christ experience before the foundation of the world, so we can get a grasp of it with the peanut minds we have...

    What about the people of John Knox?

    Sorry to but in but I saw a youtube video of Oprah Winfrey interview two pastors stating that Homosexuality is a gift from God. I don't know what you guys think about that but I disagree with that statement. What do you guys think?

    why have children if there is a chance they will end up not being one of the elect?

    I agree with epistemaniac. We just leave it to the Lord and everything will be done according to his will :)

    why have children if there is a chance they will end up not being one of the elect?

    grant, Welcome to life, that's the way God has designed his plan to be and there's not much we can do about it. Lot of the people in the bible weren't of the elect either. Remeber, esau? Definitely not one of the elect. What about Cain? Definitely not one of the elect. King Saul, definitely not...

    Anyone here dealt with narcissism??

    Peace, I really feel your pain and know exactly what you went through. My mother and myself went through the verbal, psychological and emotionally abuse from my dad. My mother made it out emotionally and the nightmares she constantly had after divorced, so she's been normal for a good amount of...

    Annihilation in Matthew 10:28

    Brother Chris, There is no where in scripture that says the unsaved will have bodies prepared for eternal torment in hell/lake of fire. It's no where to be found. But on Judgment when Christ comes back, there will be a resurrection for the believers when their saved soul and new bodies made...

    The error of an eternal hell

    Gadesa, Thank you for speaking truth! I also would like to add that Jesus who bear the sins of his people was under the same exact sentence as those who remained unsaved. It would be injustice for God to only allow Jesus to die in body and soul in hell which is the grave and not the unsaved...

    Venting

    This is definitely a hard doctrine to swallow as it was for me back in 2000 but thanks to God my eyes are open. I look at this to have a better understanding of man's will according to his nature. Before Adam and Eve sinned, both body and soul were in perfect harmony with each other, as both...

    Un-holy Laughter Drunk In The Spirit

    Yep, laughing or tongues jibbering away is not of God and has never been of God. It's really sad and these dear people need to pray and ask God to take that away from their lives.
