• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

So if you reject those who come preaching rubbish, because it's necesssry to embrace their rubbish, and thus rejecting them as the fraudsters they obviously are we're "rejecting God's order"
Well, that at least gives us yet another example of why we should reject your rubbish, as you set it of being equal to, or superior to, the Gospel of Christ. T

No "as you do" we;re claiming that you're preaching unscriptural, explicitly false, rubbish, a corruption of the Gospel of Christ.

That and $2 and change will get you a small coffee at Starbucks.

That Jim-Bob's Muffler Shop and Theological Seminary offers.

<Guffaw<

I'm fine with a BS in Electrical Engineering and the ability to read, and I doubt that your guru has either.
OK, so now you're saying that God appoints His men to preach the doctrine of demons. I think you have confused The Lord God, with the god of this world, and that goes to prove that the god of this world has blinded you so you don't know the difference between lies and the truth.

I'm not sure if you believe in The Lord, and what He has said, but if you did then you would know that His people (the elect) can't be deceived by demonic doctrine and to suggest that we can, shows you don't fear God.

You have never found a singe fault with any of the doctrines I hold to, so all you can do is resort to the lowest common denominator, and that being slander.

Wow. St. Paul took a very different view:
6 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Your religion apparently denies that. Imagine my shock.

The "truth" that your gurus have made up
I have cited many verses, which prove that that the gospel is the most offensive stench that an unbeliever can smell. So, yes the gospel is the most hated of all things in this world. Thousands of Christians are being murdered for sharing the gospel every single week.

So don't give me this nonsense about Paul taking a different view, they murdered all of God prophets and 11 of the disciples and they tried to kill Paul as well. Now doesn't that show how the world loves the gospel. Wow, you way out man

Agreed, (as He said over 70x) His only gospel was of the Kingdom and that was why He was sent..
No, He was sent to save the (elect of God only), you know those whom God chose to save before He created the world. You simply can't get around that awful truth can you....

49,000 denominations
"Among the 23,600 “Independents” and “Marginals” (70% of the whole) are large numbers of groups one would have a hard time calling Protestant. They include Mormons (122 denominations), Jehovah’s Witnesses (229 denominations), Masons (28 denominations), Christadelphians (21 denominations) Unitarians (29 denominations), Christian Science (59 denominations), Theosophists (3 more denominations), British Israelites (8 denominations), Prosperity Gospel groups (27 denominations), Oneness Pentecostals (680 denominations), “Hidden Buddhist Believers in Christ” (9 denominations), wandering bishops (12 denominations), Independent Nestorians (5 denominations), occultists (3 denominations), spiritists (20 denominations), Zionists (159 denominations), even “Arab radio/TV network” (19 denominations), “gay/homosexual tradition” (2 denominations), and schismatic Catholics (435 denominations). It is a strange and eclectic list. (See here and here.)" We Need to Stop Saying That There Are 33,000 Protestant Denominations | National Catholic Register

"Critics point out that the high numbers often come from counting every national branch of a global communion as if it were a separate denomination. For example, instead of treating the Catholic Church as a single worldwide body, some tallies list it multiple times—once for each country—so that it appears as hundreds of separate denominations rather than one unified church."


and

"While headlines or casual conversations may repeat the figure of 45,000 denominations, that number is based on overly broad definitions. A more careful tally—focusing on major denominational families or communions—puts the figure in the low hundreds." Bolding mine.

I have asked you many times to show me a single verse to support your un biblical private theory, but you have consistently failed. I knew you would fail miserably because your theology is based on false doctrines.

If a single verse existed to support your private theory, you would have googled it by now and used it to prop up your strawman.
Not sure why you keep listing unrelated verses of scripture which say nothing to support your wild theories. It just shows that you're desperate to defend the indefensible.
So once again, you fail to answer biblical questions about certain scriptures.
Wow, some teachers you have. They have not even prepared you to answer the simplest of questions regarding certain verses and your beliefs on them. And you've failed to show how we are taking them out of context and what you believe they really mean. You should be prepared to give an answer at all times if you really had all of the truth. But you can't because you only have what you're being spoon fed with. And that's a sad state.

Hopefully you'll set out on your own one day with an objective mind and test the them/your teachers verses what the Word of God is really stating about certain subjects. And if you still believe as you do, fine but at least you will have at least made an honest effort. And hopefully you'll have learned some humility in the process.

As I have already repeated over and over again "Your question is mute, it's not a biblical question. I can't comment on your wild theory, because it makes no sense. It's not a valid question, there's not a single shred of Biblical evidence to support your silly nonsense".
I have asked you over and over again to show me one single place in the Bible which supports your silly idea. You keep trying to misapply, unrelated verses and that's abusing Gods Word to make it say what you want it to say.

I'm not waiting for you to find the words "antihalation" and or "cessation of existence", you will turn blue in the face before youy find them, I know the bible and I guarantee they are not there, so back to class you go.
