That is a very powerful god, you follow. and full of mercy
So the American Indian's are saved?? WOW!!! I wonder if the ones they scalped are too?

My beliefs all come from the Word of God, God has not yet begun to save everyone and when He does He will.
Do you intend to be the founder of the forty thousand and first church?

I find no scriptures establishing a hell for the wicked that is eternal punishment and I believe if by the end of the 7000 years if 250 billion people have been born, God will have given them all, every single one an opportunity for eternal life

that means at a later time all the billions that have lived during the 6000 years with out ever knowing Christ will be raised back to physical life and be offered eternal life after the 1000 years, Read Ezekiel 37

The God of the Bible is mercy He would never punish humans for ever, what is the point? that is something satan would do
I do not need to start a church, God the Father called me in to His 57 years ago

mem are you aware of this in Hebrews

Hebrew 6
1Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection;
not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works,
and of faith toward God,
2Of the doctrine of baptisms,
and of laying on of hands,
and of resurrection of the dead,
and of eternal judgment.

these are the foundational (main) doctrines of Christ, no hell, no going to heaven, no trinity

NKJV 1Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

This reminds me of the time a man showed me a raccoon and asked me, "Do you know what this is?"
 
My church taught me this:

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.


I was taught to share my salvation experience and other experiences of the Lord.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!


This was a big lesson to learn, that Jesus Christ is Lord and all things that happen to us are allowed by Him. Since God loves us there is nothing bad that ever happens to you. On the contrary the things that happened to us are to help us see our true condition spiritually, to help us repent of our sins, and to learn how to abide in Christ. If you step outside of the Lord it can be like stepping outside of a tank in the middle of battle.

The Lord hath promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.


This is the promise, we have a covenant with the Lord and every time we take the Lord's table we renew and confirm that covenant. It includes examining ourselves and confessing any sins and repenting of them. However, that covenant is similar to the Passover feast that the Israelites took and which resulted in the death angel passing over their home. If we abide in the Lord and in His covenant we are covered and protected. He is both our shield and portion. The issue is when we put our trust in some other shield, or when we make some slop from the world our portion.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.


So no, they never taught me that every person on earth will repent and turn to the Lord. Instead I was taught I had a free will to choose and that would not be real if there were not other choices to choose besides the Lord. As a result the world gives you a thousand choices, but in reality it is simply one choice, to reject Jesus Christ as Lord. Also it would not be real if 99% of the world chose Jesus and only 1% were trying to tempt you with something else. No, Satan is given every advantage to try and tempt us into rejecting Jesus Christ, that is why it is a glory to God when we choose Jesus.

As for how many people go to hell, that is not something I know, that is something that Jesus Christ will determine. All judgement has been given to Him.
 
My church taught me this:

"The Lords table"???? My church taught me this: yes it has

It is so sad to see the "Many" so deceived.

What you Call the lords table is Passover, which Rome changed to easter, you are following Rome.

1 Corinthians
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Satan, the great deceiver, has changed the truth of God, Now that event is the lords table and easter????

Soon Satan will be put away for 1000 years and again Passover will be observed by the entire world.
 
So you have known going to heaven, going to hell and this ghost are not of Christ right?
I personally don't subscribe to the generally accepted idea of 'the afterlife.' With that said, what do you believe the disciples saw at Jesus' transfiguration?

An image of a future event, Like what Paul and John saw.

With out the death and the resurrection there would not be life after death.

Have you ever given thought about the reason God made man?

and the reason eternal life is offered the carnal humans?

Go to Genesis 1:26 and understand first is the physical then the Spiritual

I have thought on this and reason that God willed to share His will with man, so He made them in His image with their own will (Otherwise, how else could we even know what that actually is?). The dilemma, that He had no problem solving at any rate, was the complication of man's tendency to will toward their own interests (or any unsound logic thereof) and so He reasoned that man, inherently cannot survive unless man is intimately familiar with His will, so, He fashioned The Way that He would determine was needed and agreed as a Three Strand Chord.

I think this is a good synapsis of my thought on it. The day's responsibilities distract me from elaborating any further.
