    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    If we do not receive a love of the truth so as to be saved, we are perishing regardless of the beliefs we end up with, and everyone in the 10,000 non-Christian and 45,000 different "Christian" belief groups gets everything they need, from God Himself, to get whatever logic and reasoning they...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    The "Faith" that God rewards those who diligently, persistently keep on seeking Him (Not proof your beliefs about Him are truth.) is a requirement to come to Him Heb. 11:6 Without it you won't get to Him, or please Him. This specific "Type" of faith is on the "Fruits" list of requirements...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    No, while the beliefs of the lost are unintentional, their rejection of the truth leading to God's deluding influence to believe, and then live in accordance with, lies is not something any of the lost believe in, and not a one of them will have a clue that is the case till they stand in...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    LOL No incorrect beliefs are intentional. By definition, all beliefs, be they mine or anyone else's are what we believe to be truth. I do not doubt the sincerity or zeal for God in accordance with their own beliefs, of those who strap bombs to their own children and send them out to kill...

    1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge

    All non-Christians, and almost all people who believe they are Christians (The "Many" Mat. 7:13, 22-23) are headed for destruction and will not see life. They are all going to spend eternity in agony in hell because God didn't choose them. It's 100% His choice as to who to save, right. Only the...

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    I believe this represents the norm in today's Christianity. Skip the necessary process and jump right to the core. What has to be believed. While all the 10,000 non-Christian belief groups, and all the 45,000 different "Christian" belief groups focus almost strictly on the core beliefs that...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    I always tell people, "So, you trust in your heart that your beliefs are true?" Your heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things. It sounds like you are trusting Satan himself for your beliefs.

    Doubting Salvation? What's Your Belief?

    While it is possible to completely refuse to judge yourself correctly and practice a life of sin, "If" you are a true Christian, this choice ALWAYS results in God Himself correcting you. Heb. 12:6-8 And this "Correction by God" always takes the form of sickness, weakness, and or physical death...

    1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge

    Great point. If God "Chooses" to save only a fragment of humanity, and "Chooses" to roast everyone else in agony for eternity in the flames of hell, and everyone deserves hell, and no one deserves heaven, it would seem to be the epitome of having "Unjust weights". Yes, you all deserve this, and...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    Mormons, Roman Catholics, and many protestant groups all believe they speak in tongues, and all believe it is God verifying God is working through their church and their core beliefs are correct. I have a book ... somewhere ... and I don't even remember the exact title, but the author made...

    When Do Christians Receive The Holy Spirit ?

    People receive the Holy Spirit after hearing the True Gospel and believing it. Eph. 1:13-14 / 2Th. 2:13 But that can't happen till after the correct response to what God offers all men is made. 2Th. 2:10-13 If the correct "choice" is made, the father continues to seek them and never stops till...

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    Awesome. Of course, if you agree with me on everything, only one thing is absolutely certain ... "You are wrong!" LOL I laugh, but I mean it. 10,000 different non-Christian belief groups. 45,000 different "Christian" belief groups all with differing core beliefs or they'd be in the...

    1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge

    Why would you "want to believe" such horrible things about God", especially when taking the straightforward meaning is what makes the most sense? Based on a Calvinistic perspective wouldn't God stating this: "God desires almost no men to be saved and almost no one to come to a...

    1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge

    Well, in Rom. 1:18-32, God does not specify the exact time period. Since He doesn't specifically say "when" in every person's life this knowledge of God is imparted, I really do hate to "create" words and put them in God's mouth. We may get this "knowledge" years before we are held accountable...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    I have modified dozens upon dozens of my initial beliefs based on additional information I missed, passages and data I misinterpreted and people pointing out that certain beliefs just did not make any real sense, considering ... even beliefs that would make God a self-confessed adulterer if my...

    To know the True God

    Nope: What comes "First" wasn't listed in the options. Does 2 + 2 = 6 or 8? What's your answer? LOL

    Hermeneutics: Interpreting Scripture

    1Th. 5:21 is an AWESOME verse! In the "Present Tense" it means be continuously proving ALL things over and over again (Like an ongoing court case where the only goal is to get to truth) and always hold fast to what is being proven good/true (And not to your beliefs.). It's the only way to get...

    To know the True God

    1.) What comes first is God's desire: 1Ti. 2:3-4 2.) Because of God’s desires, 1Ti. 2:3-4 God “seeks” ALL men. Rom. 1:18-21 3.) And because of God’s 1st seeking, every human who ever lived, starts their life out “knowing” God. Rom. 1:21 4.) “Therefore”, no man “not” coming to “saving faith”...
