    Gods will vs mans free will

    How could "church" historians tell how the gospel spread throughout the world when they didn't even know the extent of the world? Of course man knew. Man LIVED beyond the Roman Empire.

    Nah. There's nothing in Scripture that requires it.

    Gods will vs mans free will

    I doubt it has anything to do with the animal's will. The man's free will is even involved with the offering commanded by the law: he can freely to choose to obey that command or disobey it and reap the consequence.

    Gods will vs mans free will

    The Holy Spirit didn't know about the world beyond the Roman Empire? ... the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Col 1:23 (KJV) Where does the Bible say that?

    Gods will vs mans free will

    From what you describe, it sounds like they heard about the gospel & Jesus from the settlers. (Otherwise the settlers couldn't have reported that the Indians were unfamiliar with the gospel.) So it sounds like the Indians, at that point in time, were included with "all men".

    Gods will vs mans free will

    Weren't American Indians within the ends of the earth/world? Aren't they included in all people, every creature, and all men? How did Job know his redeemer lives? And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before...

    Gods will vs mans free will

    Do/have such people exist(ed)? These passages are all in past tense: The LORD hath made known his salvation ... all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Psalms 98:2-3 ... thy salvation, 31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; Luke 2:30-31 ... the gospel...

    No matter what our flesh does, right or wrong, it will never please God

    Is God outside of time?

    When we've been there 10,000 years bright shining as the sun, we've no less DAYS to sing God's praise than when we first begun. Everyone - saved, unsaved, children, etc. - can comprehend/understand 'infinite number of days'; infinity. 'Infinity' was in the math books a zillion years ago when I...

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    I didn't comment in my post about ages or camping. The swing set thing was about a hypothetical parent's consistency of judgement; not the children playing on it.

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    That wasn’t an argument; it was a comment. Why DIDN’T Satan challenge Christ to do parachuting, climbing, or snowboarding off-piste? Those activities don’t tempt the Lord. Those activities don’t missuse Scripture. Those activities take skill - they’re sports. Throwing yourself off a...

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    Of course they're able to make those judgements. Some of their judgements aren't very good, but neither are some of adult's judgements.

    Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

    A risk that one person deems 'unnecessary', another person deems 'necessary' in order to get the desired results; in this case, adventure. People are different.

    Church buildings

    It sounds like you did the right thing getting out. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2 Cor 6:17

    Church buildings

    I hope so! That's quite an assertion. I'm not sure what that means, but when you left that church, weren't you 'outing' them? The JW's, Mormons, Branch Davidians, Jim Jones, etc. all have/had buildings. Jim Jones' large congregation had accountability. When a member dozed off during a...
