Its strange how every thread goes back to the question of the Law. Those who have a certain interpretation of what that Law means, then either join or start some sort of "group" with others who see it the same way yet all is one body. Some also call others "legalists" if they don't see it the...

I would ask Him if we can be guaranteed that we have saved others through faith in prayer alone, despite lack of evidence that they HAVE been saved in this world. Just because we asked in faith. Some folk keep telling me otherwise but I am not sure why. There are many I know that are afflicted...

Hey UWC. I agree with you in that people can tend to believe what they want to believe and it is the hardest thing to bare the thought of anyone in eternal torment who you once cared about. It can only produce sorrow as it can sort of ruin the memory of them so I understand how your sister...

I agree that some are not that uplifting. I have got snarky comments from others even when I just asked questions to learn. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here who know way more than I do, as they have read more threads and posts than I have. They know more than others and say they...

Its a tricky one this, as I have thought about this as well. I think it isn't so much a case of having sympathy, but more the fact that after a lifetime of being told to forgive your enemies, when that's hard sometimes if they are truly wicked, then its hard to see how one can change from this...

I would like someone to explain this to me as well as I am not sure I get it. Couldn't the question of the Rich Man asking Lazarus to go back and warn his brothers, be told to be a delusion from the Rich Man, seeing that he was in flames in the first place, maybe HE believed it was possible...

Indeed how true those words are. History Princess, haven't you ever done anything that you were glad you were forgiven for? How would you have felt if that forgiveness was NOT given? Jesus pleaded for the forgiveness of his tormentors, even whilst he was being crucified and killed.

Great post and well explained! Matthew 25:41 mentions “everlasting fire” for the wicked and this fire does go out , so if the same meaning of the words apply for the other verses (using the words “everlasting or eternal fire”.) then they must "go out" as well as you say. Sodom and Gomorrah...

I think a good start would be if each person would take their own thoughts to their logical conclusion. Most thoughts evaporate like the froth of the sea and don't end up anywhere, gaining nothing. Also, to find the truth one has to be a good judge and discerner. A lot listen to the "truth"...

That reminds me of a funny quote from a friend of mine who reckons some think a bad husband is better than no husband. She said "A women needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle". Not saying I agree with that ....just thought it was funny.

Good question! I am 57 years old. I think it starts with some sort of break up or break down. There seems to come a point in many people's lives, including mine many years ago, where all the past things are shipwrecked, destroyed and dispersed ready for the new. One thing I have noticed is...

How you doing Dino? I agree. It always amazes me how we live in an age where so much is still available for us now, not just through Churches either. When you look back and think how people lived long ago, relying on the knowledgeable few who could read Latin (in England anyhow) and had no...

Well I have no idea how they spoke - depends on whether they were rich or poor. I don't know what they were doing with their time anywhere else, but in England we only know what happened around 1066.because it was The Battle of Hastings. Halley's Comet was also in 1066. The Bayeux Tapestry...

Hey Stillness how you doing? I sure know what the dark night of the soul means from experience. I thank you for the recommendation of that book. I have just read a great book by the addict expert Gabor Mate. Its called "In the realm of Hungry Ghosts". A real eye opener. In fact everything Gabor...

Great answer Rough Soul cheers mate.

I am sure some Churches teach but they don't where I live or any nearby nor ever have. Its all about worship. The USA has some great teaching services which really go into the Bible, but in England I have been on a "Church Hunt" for years and if you were a new believer, its all about Worship and...

I think we are too insignificant and our view is tiny - we cannot see all things even collectively the same (humans cannot even agree on most things. Which is why you get different "eye witness accounts" of what should be the same thing. We are too small in this vast universe and our eyes...

Yes so true. Science also has to even think up a "word" or "term" for things they don't see as logical as no one understands anything unless it has a name. So they say its the "uncertainty principle" or "phenomenon". Or because it goes beyond logic of what is naturally logic to a mans...

What do you say to someone who points out God can get others to lie? They could argue back how come he gets another to do what goes against his own nature? What do we say in reply? God sends a lying spirit (1 Kings 22:22) - “And the Lord said to him, ‘How?’ And he said, ‘I will go out and be a...

I totally get what you are saying. Maybe then there is God Logic and Man Logic. God can do the impossible but Man sees things that are impossible as illogical. On the other hand, reading parables can show us man logic like we are looking from a camera view down. But within ourselves, all men...
