The adversary uses out of context verses to fool Christians.

Nothing personal.
Well, at least you're managing to drag the perp into the picture.

Let me guess though. You're exempt?

So funny

You know, the part where Satan SINS in everyone via theft
That parable is about hearing the word on good ground and therefore producing fruit because of it. It has noting to do with sin, you have added that yourself. We are all sinners but that does not mean we can't produce good fruit when walking in the spirit. Are you saying you don't? Some receive the gospel and some don't. They might later on, etc but that's what that means -hearing the word of God, which we know from other parts of the bible that produces faith and then we can produce fruit. Why are you inserting sin here?

He did. 3 times. Cited to you how many times now?
We should hear and accept every word as truth. And live by that truth. But once again, not every verse specifically applies to every individual. We have to know the context, who the audience is, what is being discussed etc. You can't seem to understand that.


Uh, yes it was a direct statement from God in Christ multiple times.
No, he specifically separated them into 4 different groups and what type of ground they receive the word upon. Wayside, stony, thorns and good ground. But keep making it up as you go along.

I came to understand Christian Universalism because some patient people waded through the subject matter with me
Yeah, I figured as much. Putting man's word over God's. We were told stuff like this would happen and people would leave sound doctrine. I had to drop some false doctrines that were indoctrinated into me at an early age. It was only later on when I got into the Word that I saw they were unbiblical.

Have you heard the one about God actually saving sinners?
Have you read there are conditions?

You should google them some time.
Why? That's probably your thing but but I have the Word right in front of me. And I've read the conditions. You are totally ignoring Christ's own teachings about repentance, etc. It's very serious and I'll choose his words over yours.

"love your neighbors part?"
Loving our neighbors does not mean we get to throw out God's Word which will not change. God is so long suffering because he himself of course does not want any to perish but to come to repentance. But yeah, let's just throw out that fact as well. According to you he doesn't have to be long suffering.

I was setting you straight concerning my belief that you are promoting to others..



I was showing you God's Inspired Words that I believe, which show that in "death", the kind all mortal humans come to experience, we cease to think, do anything or know anything. But as I said, something exists as God will raise up who I am, just as HE will raise up who Adam was, and judge them according to that which they had done, "before" this death.

It seems important to seek the understanding of "God's teaching" concerning the death that "ALL" mortal humans shall enter, for all have sinned, except One.




I believe in this perfectly. And in my view, God's prophesy shown to us here, has surely come to pass as both Adam and Eve did die, and remain dead just as God Promised them. I have no reason to question God concerning the moment this destiny was placed on them. Clearly it happened when they "Ate" that which God commanded them not to eat.

I'm not sure why you would imply that I never came across this, clearly my posts would inform you otherwise, had you read them..


I believe what is written;

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and "they knew that they were naked"; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Clearly the "death" this God was speaking to, isn't the "death" you are speaking to. This is shown pretty clearly in the Scriptures I posted, that you judged as irrelevant.

Ecc. 9: 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Perhaps if you were to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and join yourself to this God, as Jesus promotes, you will come to be on the same page with Him concerning Adam and Eve. Of course, it is a choice you must make.



Can you show me the Scriptures where it is said that God is the God of the Dead, and not the Living? Please show me where God teaches in His Word that all human children are "born dead".

I am a student of of His Word, but I have never seen where Jesus is the Lord of the Dead, or that God is the God of the dead. Perhaps you might consider to start listening to the Jesus "of the Bible", and turn away from the religious system of this world.

John 8: 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye "believe not" that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Luke 13: 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

If they were already "dead", as defined by the Spirit of Christ that was in the Author of Ecclesiastics, then how can they "Believe" or "repent" or "turn to God"?

Clearly, if a man doesn't do these things, in the time a longsuffering, Patient and Merciful God gives them, after they sinned, they shall surely die.

As this same God teaches you, if you would just believe Him.

Ez. 18: 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

21 "But if" the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

In your religion, isn't this good news? And who make this possible?



My God isn't the God of the Dead, but the God of the Living. Your god creates dead people. I can say for certain that the Holy Scriptures do not represent your god.



Well I, and David, and Isaiah disagree with your religious philosophy. And in all due respect, the Spirit of Christ that inspired these Prophets teach me about death, this Christ died, but you have never died. So it seems to me that I would be better off Trusting the God that Inspired the bible, than to trust you or this world's religions you have adopted, given you don't believe the graves of this world are filled with dead people that don't even know they are dead.



"Living dead", God creates "dead people"! Are you actually listening to your own preaching here? If a person that is spiritually dead, can never "know anything" about God, then you, who you preach to the world was born dead, have no hope?




This is true.



Please understand that you have already miss-represented my beliefs and posts on a public forum. So it would be foolish to just ignore Scriptures, and take your word for it. Perhaps if you were to show me where my posts contradict my theology, this would be more helpful.




John 8: 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Luke 9: 59 And he said unto another, "Follow me". But he said, Lord, "suffer me first" to go and bury my father.

60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but "let me first" go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

So let these men who refuse to repent and turn to God, who will die in their sins, bury others who also refuse to repent, who will die in their sins.

But if these unrepentant men would humble themselves, while they are still alive, and "yield themselves" to God in repentance, and "Follow the Jesus" of the Bible, they will still die, but Jesus Promises to raise them from the dead, and give them the gift of eternal life.

Abraham was given the same instruction.

Gen. 12: 1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of "thy country", and from "thy kindred", and from "thy father's house", unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

You might notice that Abraham didn't say, "Wait God", I will follow you, but let me first go back and honor my earthly father".

Instead of using a verse here and there to justify an adopted religion, perhaps you might consider turning away from the religion of your fathers, and Follow Jesus' instruction. "Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness". And let this world's religious promoters bury this world's religious promoters.


Clearly, even my 12 year old grandson can see that these men were destined to death, and not already dead. Just as Jesus teaches, "You shall die in your sins". In your religion, Jesus was talking about men who refused to eat His Flesh, Yes? Men who have "No life" in them? And what of Jesus' Words to the rich man?

Matt. 19: 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but "if thou wilt enter into life", keep the commandments.

And concerning Lazarus;

John 11: 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

Did the dead bury the dead here?

The problem and difference here between us is that you are here to justify your religion, and you cherry pick Scriptures for that purpose, as is clearly evident. While I, a no body, am seeking to know God, as Jesus wanted, that I might grow in the knowledge of God. To do this, it is imperative to consider "ALL" that is written.


I posted Solomons understanding of the death that befalls all men. I posted David's understanding and Isaiah's understanding. But they can't be used to support, defend or further your preaching that God created "dead" people. So you don't believe them.

According to God and Jesus, I can deliver myself from a Spiritual Death, by "Turning to God".

Ez. 18: 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

Paul taught the same thing;

Acts 26: 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

But I only have this life in which to "Yield myself" to God. Because as it is written, "The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence." And "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

It seems prudent to study so as to know the truth about this death, VS. being "dead in trespasses and sins".



It seems you are pitting one verse of God against another to prove your "God creates dead people" philosophy. I'm hoping you might reconsider, but the choice is yours.
I asked you to explain why you don't believe what God said about death, in the verses I referenced. But you responded by listing a bunch of unrelated verses in an effort, to use them to destroy the verses I referenced.

As I have previously mentioned, you can't use Gods Word to destroy Gods Word, when it exposes your denominations teachings. You have never addressed or refuted a single verse I mentioned, all you have done to defend your denomination, is ignore the verses I referenced and jump to other unrelated verses, then misapply them to where they contradict what Gods Word says in the verses I referenced.

You have used many of the same verses as we already considered and found that you interpretation contradicts what God said about the matter. You have not defended your denominations interpretation, when it contradicts Gods Word.

I would be glad, if you could set me straight by showing me scriptures to support your views. But all you have offered up so far, is unbiblical doctrines which are not supported by any scripture at all.
You make many assumptions and presumptions, but the bible doesn't support a single one of them.

You keep describing "death" as if there was only one kind mentioned in the Bible, but I have shown you that there are several different kinds of death. But you reject what Gods Word has to say about it and instead pluck verses out of their intended context and apply your denominational narrative to them and attempt to pass them of as Biblically correct.

It's not true to say that everyone experiences the death of the body, because we see billions are living on the earth when Jesus comes back. His elect will be transformed into His likeness without experiencing bodily death. So there again you have made a false statement.

Your opinion about those who experienced the death of their body, not being able to think is also false. We find those who died the bodily death talking to each other and Abraham, you have Lazarus and the rich man and Abraham. The rich man was in hell begging for a drop of water to cool his tongue, but your denomination told you the dead can't talk but Jesus said they do, so again you place your trust in your priest but I place mine in the Lord Jesus.

I can list many more verses, but if you don't believe what Gods Word says, then it's a waste of time.

God said, "in the day you eat of it, you shall surely die". But you say no God, what you meant to say is "in the day you eat of it, you will die 900 years after that day". Can you see how your interpretation is makes no sense at all.

So when you read, "the dead know nothing", that means those who are still dead in their sin know nothing about spiritual things or what it means to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The "natural man" those who are not born again, are carnal creatures, they are spiritually blind, they are as brute beasts.
They can't choose to believe because spiritual things are foolishness to them, and as dead people they can do precisely nothing to make themselves alive.

Ephesians 2:1 "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins."
This verse confirms that the natural spiritual state of humanity is one of death from birth, and they remain dead unless God regenerates them.

Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned."
This verse also confirms that sin and spiritual death are inherited from Adam, affecting all humanity.



Romans 8:8 "Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God."
This verse shows that humanity's sinful nature, in its natural state, prevents it from having the spiritual capacity to please God.


Psalm 51:5 "For behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
This psalm is a declaration of the inherent sinfulness that is present from the very beginning of human life.


Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This verse emphasizes the universality of sin, with the implication of spiritual death for everyone.

Oh no. The perp messes with everyone
Well, consider that we moved closer to the facts

Perhaps then, seeing how the perp messes with YOU (and I) how the Words of God describing the perp's exposure, demise and finality could apply directly to our own faces, just as Jesus rebuked Satan speaking from Peter

In other words the CONDEMNATION/WRATH/JUDGMENT/LoF scriptures are in fact our Best Friend

Surprise!

What do you reckon they were studying, the Tao Te Ching?
They might as well be. But in all seriousness, I don't get how even one of the most quoted verses John 3:16 can be misunderstood. It's clearly stated that one either perishes or has eternal life. It's life or death. Nothing in between. No one lives forever in the lake of fire. And not everyone is granted eternal life. It's that simple. But certain sides want to work their way around that instead letting that verse speak for itself.

I'm still trying tofigure out where "everybody lives forever" comes ftom in the Bible
As I posted above it's certainly not in the bible.

That parable is about hearing the word on good ground and therefore producing fruit because of it.
I might suggest that the production of fruit starts with honesty. Knowing that Satan steals from us and tempts us, internally. However IF we DENY Jesus' Words of that fact, well, we are simply proven pawns of the lying thief.

Get the picture yet?

It has noting to do with sin,
Oh? Theft of Word from heart is not SIN? I'd suggest it's right up there at the top of the list.
you have added that yourself. We are all sinners but that does not mean we can't produce good fruit
I've never said we can't produce good fruit. Apples grow from crap put in the ground. Ever heard of taking root downward and producing fruit upward in the Bible? Ever heard of "dunging the roots" so that the tree can produce fruit? Ever heard of the blade springing from the ground and THEN appeared the TARE? All of these are Biblical Principles concerning people and DEVILS. When we SEE the tempter in ourselves, the picture of ourselves turns HONEST. Otherwise we remain alone, in the dark, in lying denial.

The "honest" fact is we do quite entirely factually produce both GOOD and EVIL.

The good comes from God. Guess where the evil comes from?

Let's just give credit where credit is due.
when walking in the spirit. Are you saying you don't?
The evil present in me can never obey, never be faithful, blessed, lawful, etc etc.

In fact it can only rightfully be utterly condemned. Is this honest enough for you to take on?

You should, because it's the truth. The heart is deceitful above "all things." That's right. Right there in your own chest thumps the most wicked thing in all of creation.

NOW the question you could ask yourself is this: IF this is true, are YOU more deceitful than Satan, or BECAUSE OF?

Not a hard track to follow here.
Some receive the gospel and some don't.
I understand you toss out everyone who doesn't wear your "brand" to the eternal death camp.

Scripture tells me that everyone who loves knows God and is born of God.

Your position is merely a tightwad of our adversaries devices. There is no difference between Jesus and Love.

Love is the produce of God.
They might later on, etc but that's what that means -hearing the word of God, which we know from other parts of the bible that produces faith and then we can produce fruit. Why are you inserting sin here?
In the parable in question, Mark 4, what is the cause of the trouble all the way through, til the end?

And when you read, in the KJV for example, can't you see the "and these are they" meaning it's the same person all the way through?
We should hear and accept every word as truth. And live by that truth.
Brilliant deduction. Every Word. So where you read Satan do you just blot that out of your mind or what?
But once again, not every verse specifically applies to every individual. We have to know the context, who the audience is, what is being discussed etc. You can't seem to understand that.
Yes, it applies to everyone. Every Word of God. Just as Jesus said. You should know the scriptures by heart by now. Matt. 4:4, Luke 4:4, Deut. 8:3
No, he specifically separated them into 4 different groups
Oh please stop with the double standard, thinking you're only good ground and the other people not so much.

I can't stomach the hypocrisy.

Scripture tells me that everyone who loves knows God and is born of God.
What does this scripture tell you?

II Thessalonians 1:8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:"

Your argument continues to be against the Word of God. You have to realize there are people that do not want to know God. Nor do they want to obey the gospel or repent of the deeds and so on. They could care less.

I understand you toss out everyone who doesn't wear your "brand" to the eternal death camp.
I'm talking about Christ's words in that parable of the sower. It has nothing to do with me. Some receive the Word and immediately don't receive it. They don't believe. Again, they could care less.

and these are they" meaning it's the same person all the way through?
No, they are not the same people all the way through. He specifically separates the groups. He describes separate things that happen to each when they immediately receive the Word so it would be impossible for it to be the same person. It doesn't mean that the ground can't change during a person's lifetime and they later receive it and are fruitful. But it's very clear he's talking about 4 different types of people and how they receive the Word.



So where you read Satan do you just blot that out of your mind or what?
No, quite the opposite. If he and his angels arrive here to put on their show during my lifetime I know I'm to be prepared with the full gospel armor on and in place to fight the wiles and trickery that they produce and to be able to "stand in the evil day". If one falls away during that time it's totally on them. We have been warned. In fact, I probably take him more serious than you do. Because I know he and his will come and proclaim to be God, etc. And will fool the entire world by his trickery, etc. The only way to overcome him is by having that full gospel armor on.

What I won't be doing is going to Judgement Day and stating the devil made me do it. That's not a defense. Any Christian if they choose to has power over the devil through the blood of Jesus Christ. Resist him and he will flee.

It's sad that you continue to give him equal power with the Holy Spirit.

I asked you to explain why you don't believe what God said about death, in the verses I referenced. But you responded by listing a bunch of unrelated verses in an effort, to use them to destroy the verses I referenced.

No, that isn't what's going on here. You have adopted a popular ancient religious philosophy, promoted by this world's religious system for centuries, that men are born with an immortal soul/spirit. To justify this philosophy, men engage in the same tactics satan used on Eve to deceive. God shows men this from the very beginning so that those who are seeking His Wisdom, will understand the dangers of listening to "other voices" concerning His Creation. They carefully select certain sentences from God's Holy Inspired Scriptures, then they separate this verse from all the rest of the bible, then twist the meaning of the verse to defend, justify and promote the adopted philosophy. "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? They do this because if ALL of God's Words concerning any topic, like eternal life, death, resurrections, tree of life, etc., are considered, this philosophy can not stand.

What I posted were relevant verses which speak directly to the very core of our discussion, verses you omitted.

The verses you omit from your sermons concerning immortality, do not destroy any Words of God, and I do not use them for that purpose. When considered, the verses you omit concerning this topic more clearly define God's Teaching to us regarding the topic. When all of God's Word concerning immortality, tree of life, death, life and resurrection are considered, it is clear that men are not born with an immortal spirit/soul/body etc. It is a gift from God some men will receive. This was difficult for me to accept given the religion of my fathers teach that I was born with the gift of immortality, same as you believe, and I believed it for a long time. My pride and self exaltation stood in the way of accepting God's Truth, not wanting to be humbled and/or corrected. This too is addressed in the Holy Scriptures for those seeking the Truth and Wisdom of God. It is a common evil among men.

You said, "I asked you to explain why you don't believe what God said about death, in the verses I referenced

I will not engage in the popular religious tactic you employ, of selecting a few verses from the bible, separating them from the rest of God's Word, then creating or promoting doctrines, that can't stand if "Every Word of God" is considered.

You and I have both sinned, and we will both die. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

The only reason why we are here talking to each other today, and not dead and buried, is because of God's Long Suffering and desire that we might repent and turn to Him through His Son while we are still alive. So that we might "Yield ourself" a servant to obey God for the rest of this life, as Jesus Himself teaches, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. That we might "put forth our hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"

From the very beginning, the prince of this world has convinced men that they "shall surely not die". My hope is that men stop listening to all the "other voices" in the world He placed us in, "that profess to know God", and place our trust instead, on the Holy scriptures that are trustworthy
"for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Not just "some" of the Words of God, while "omitting" others, as the mainstream religions of this world promote, but as the Jesus "of the Bible" teaches, "Every Word" which proceeds from the mouth of God.

That is still my hope.

You are here to promote a popular religious philosophy that you are already immortal and will "surely not die". That you will live forever in one capacity or another. The Holy Scriptures, when all of them are considered, do not support this popular philosophy as the my posts clearly show.

Thanks for the discussion, such as it were. These issues are good for men to engage in, not just for us, but for those reading along as well, in my view.

Well, consider that we moved closer to the facts

Perhaps then, seeing how the perp messes with YOU (and I) how the Words of God describing the perp's exposure, demise and finality could apply directly to our own faces, just as Jesus rebuked Satan speaking from Peter

In other words the CONDEMNATION/WRATH/JUDGMENT/LoF scriptures are in fact our Best Friend

Surprise!
I just tell Him to go to hell. Why didn’t you quote that part of my post? Did you not have a response? You give the perp a bit more credit than He reserves. He has already been defeated so get off the pity party.

I agree with you that that is what's coming. Imagine that?

I don't agree that it happened already

And I'd suggest that any unseen being/group behind every sin does deserve the facts of our particular spiritual attentions, rather than the casual brush off that THEY'd prefer

Dig?

Nah. Don’t give them the importance that they do not deserve. An “in Jesus name I rebuke you” is sufficient.

The rebuke is to be internally directed. Pointing fingers at other people merely shows ignorance, darkness, hypocrisy, lies, coverups and general disregard for the veracity of Jesus' Presentations on these matters

Yes Virginia, there is an invisible enemy with a cadre of companions, unseen, believe it or not

Those who can not pinpoint this action in themselves haven't moved off the dime of slaveship very far OR they drag the entirety of themselves under the guise of faith, when it will never compute

How so?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬
