How would you know? Are you saying both did not entice others into faithless behavior? This comment is nonsense as it does not address the quoted post.

Who in the Hell said it was. The issue is NOT whether fire describes an environmental aspect of the afterlife for the lost. The issue is: "He [Jesus] experienced what every lost sinner will for all eternity" This is a quote from Jesusfan, and not, repeat not from me. Stop your false...

My view is derived from the context of Revelation 2:15 which includes 2:14. I understand the verses to say both those following Balaam and the Nicolaitians, were enticed into faithless behaviors.

Hi JD731, If I have my geography straight, Jerusalem is located in central Judea, with Samaria to the north, and Phoenicia farther north, surrounding the city of Tyre. So the certain men came to Paul's location from Judea. And in response Paul and other went south to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem...

Here we see the Calvinist using his "change the subject" ratchet from his tool box of fallacious argumentation tools. He did not even bother to post "taint so" but instead wants to change the subject to my conjured poor behavior. False teacher tactics 101. The topic is 1 Peter 2:9-10 and how...

1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD...

I do not think the Early Church thought the Nicolaitians were a sect following Nicolas of Antioch, mentioned in Acts 6:5. Yes, that is one theory concerning the Nicolaitians, actually endorsed by the NET footnote of Revelation 2:6. And, Irenaeus and Hippolytus connected the group to Nicholas...

Similar to Balaam, the Nicolaitians put stumbling blocks before believers to get them off the track of faithfulness. And they did so from authority, "lording it over the flock."

Not sure what the subject here is, but JesusFan simply makes up false claims and posts. Jesus paid the ransom for all, He suffered such that because of His sacrifice, He could talk away the sin burden, what God held against anyone transferred into Christ. All these claims He suffered as if in...

On and on, the Calvinists post copy and paste immense amounts of verbiage, citing verse after verse, but signifying nothing. God's will and desire to save all people is clearly stated in 1 Timothy 2:4, but not by way of compulsion, the false claim of Calvinism. God provided the means of...

The three points concerning Divine Knowledge, based on three passages of scripture, supported Inherent Omniscience. The post did not even address the posted link to John Brown's biblical interpretations supporting Calvinism. . Would it be fair to conclude their tool box is sparse. We find the...

Certainly one aspect of Nicolaitian behavior is insistence on "my way or the highway," where their view is not up for discussion or study. But it would be wrong to claim the behavior turns a believer into a dreaded "Nicolaitian." On the other hand, those enticed to go with the favored view...

Yet another false claim, as Limited Atonement had its inception in the 4th Century, with Augustine changing "all" of 1 Timothy 2:4 to "all kinds of people." But the actual verse reads "all people." So to suppose the Apostles wrote or taught all kinds of people when they used "all people" is...

The bondage of sin is more than the separation from the living God, it includes our being bound in distress stemming from discomfort and regret. Many believe the torment of Hades and Gehenna has an eternal duration. almost all believe the separation from God in Hades and Gehenna is eternal.

Hebrews 2:17 NASB Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brothers so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Here we see that Jesus had to be made like humans, so by His sacrifice, He...

Romans 11:2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? Here the phrase "His people" is used to refer to believing Jews. God had planned for the believing descendants of Abraham...

Our individual election happens during our lifetime. See 2 Thessalonians 2:13 or James 2:5 Christ was chosen to be God's Redeemer, His "Lamb of God" before the foundation of the world, so God planned for those His Redeemer would redeem corporately, thus we were chosen in Him before the...

Yet another false claim, as humans had not yet been created, and when they were created, they were conceived in sin, and not in Christ!

Matthew 1:21 NASB “She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” His People refers to all those God gives to Him, who God transfers our of the realm of darkness into His kingdom. If an individual is not in Christ, they have not been...

John 11:51-52 Now he did not say this on his own, but as he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation; and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. Here we could...
