There will be a new earth. Are you sure heaven is our final destination? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just know that all Calvinists are closet Arminians. So don't feel bad.

Seems like it's the same glory: [Jhn 17:5 KJV] 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Love can't be the same, as the object is different. The Father loves the Son, and the Son loves the Father. But the extent of the...

How very sad to hear of this, Arthur. It must have been painful for you and your family. Derf

Therefore you are saying the drawing of the Son is ineffectual??

When you say "makes her feel special", you're using the "entice" version of "draw". In other words, he's NOT making her feel special, he's merely doing things that he believes she will respond to positively. She decides to feel special based on how much she likes the things he's doing, which is...

Then you’re ok if God also tells them to exercise control over their hearts themselves? And He says it first, before 36:26. Ezekiel 18:31 (KJV) 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...

This is where Jesus was telling them that those who did not bear fruit would be pruned from the branch. If this is about salvation, then you have to admit you can lose it. There is still doubt the impression was neither manipulated nor false. The callings are for a specific purpose. I don't...

Yes, let's! Did Abram seek God or did God call out Abram? [Gen 18:19 KJV] For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him...

Why is that universalism (where all are given eternal life)? We already have Christ saying all will be resurrected in the previous chapter? But some will be resurrected unto damnation, which is not the kind of universalism you are referring to. [Jhn 5:25 KJV] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The...

I think you've adequately capture the essence of the GotQuestions definition of "death" (if Richard was friend of yours, my condolences). There are a couple of questions that can follow. 1. Is the definition correct? and 2. Is it a problem holding to an incorrect definition of "death" (I'm not...

Sure. Here’s a great example from GotQuestions.org: Question: "How is physical death related to spiritual death?" Answer: The Bible has a great deal to say about death and, more importantly, what happens after death. Physical death and spiritual death are both a separation of one thing from...

I’d like to offer this word for discussion: “Death”. In secular parlance, it means a complete cessation of function. In Christiansen, it means a complete cessation of function when used of an animal, but when used of a human, it means “separation”. Is this different definition a good...

It’s a rather large jump to say that because there’s an allegory that refers to a city or other geographical point that suddenly “biblical Judaism” is the same as “apostate Judaism”. But Paul is pretty specific when he says that those in the church that get circumcised are going back to the...

Seems like we ran out of steam here. If I can throw in a final thought, there are s few ways to interpret the words in this passage that are consistent with orthodoxy, and we can disagree civilly. But when we take a particular interpretation and use it as evidence for another point of doctrine...

Dingdingdingding! You are the winner! You’ve managed to restate the OP! Where are going to go now? (Hint: you’re supposed to say “Disneyland”.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to mention that Heavenly Jerusalem is associated with Christ's church: [Heb 12:22-23 KJV] 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which...

I think you are correct, but does this mean it applies to current day Jerusalem, or did it already happen and apply to Jerusalem in 70 AD?

I think the problems in the church today are much, much bigger than the RCC. When the church is embracing behavior God calls abomination, the whoring is at full tilt.

Babel confused languages (at God's command) to spread out the people they were not doing His will in populating the whole earth (and cooking up evil in the city). Pentecost reunited people who spoke different languages. The church has a job of uniting people in Jesus Christ, and to do that...
