You are in error. God had a religion in the OT, God has a religion now. Jesus speaks to 7 congregations in revelation= all the same 1 religion. Paul went around setting up congregations of Jesus’ new religion. One must be taught Gods truth by these-Matt 24:45 or they are in darkness.

Yes standing before the throne on earth. The throne = Gods ruling kingdom govt, no matter where one is standing, earth, moon or heaven they will subject to that throne.

I understand it well. All could be forgiven if they would repent and turn around, but Jesus assures-FEW will find the road that leads off into life. Most are being mislead to walk the broad and spacious path that leads to destruction–like this( 2Cor 11:12-15)= billions of them are told and think they are serving God.

Romans 6:23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This death that Paul speaks of corresponds to the second death that John speaks of in Revelation 20:11-15

@Proclaimer,

Yes once dead one cannot be rejudged for past sin in the resurrection.

So what is the second death for?

@Keith,

Enoch and Elijah were sinners.

Apparently not to bad a “sinner” since G-d whisked them away and they NEVER saw death. You’re going to have a hard time squaring that one up for me; the Jesus died, and they didn’t and as you say, they were “sinners.”

Those all died back in Jesus’ day– My post is truth on that.

Don’t think I disagreed wit…[Read more]

This is true. Yet many miss that Jesus said to keep the commandments. When the man said he had done that, Jesus said, if you wish to be perfect then sell all. This showed the depth of the man’s faith and was never suppose to be used to say that he did not have salvation.

As far as those who are saved, some will receive 100, 60, and 30 fold…[Read more]

No Keith.

There is the way, the truth, and the life.

The head of the body is Jesus Christ.

The body is simply those that belong to him – Jesus Christ.

NO DENOMINATION is actually the Body of Christ.

The Body of Christ is made up of living stones, those who are part of the Church who by extension of that have the Spirit within them.

NO…[Read more]

Read Revelation 7:4&9:

4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel…

9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were hol…[Read more]

I think you miss the point here. Of course it is true that not all will have their sins forgiven, scripture is clear about the atonement for all sin: past, present, and future. This is based on passages such as:

John 1:29: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

1 John 2:2: “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and n…[Read more]

Best believe Jesus= FEW will find the road that leads off into life( be saved, get grace, get salvation)–the rest are mislead to walk the broad and spacious path that leads to destruction. So their sin is NOT covered.

Yes once dead one cannot be rejudged for past sin in the resurrection. Death is the full payment( wages) of sin. Every mortal who has lived paid in full by their death the wages of sin. Some claim Jesus death covers all sin= false. Even the righteous have died and paid their own wages.

Hi Keith. Of course repentance is required. But it is true…[Read more]

All living on earth in Gods kingdom it applies to.

Only one in darkness would call Paul a liar. Jesus commissioned him to preach truth=Gods truth. Thus its God you are calling a liar.

Enoch and Elijah were sinners.

Those all died back in Jesus’ day– My post is truth on that.

The resurrected will be tested when satan is loosed after given the opportunity to learn and apply Gods will.

Jesus only covers repented sin=Few on earth do that. False teachers say confessing is enough-they are wrong-Acts 3:19-Repent and turn around(…[Read more]

@Keith,

Another great attribute of what Gods kingdom rule will accomplish for mankind= No resident will ever say–i am sick -Isaiah 33:24)

Please read the passage in the context it was written…eyes roll…and stop cherry picking phrases you like. Who will never say I am sick; what residents are spoken of here; who does this passage apply to? Who…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

The soul that sins will die.

Absolutely, G-d said so; but, what must one do to live? (Ezek 18)

Therefore, death is the price of sin and it is a required payment.

When did G-d say death is the “required payment” for sin?

God is also merciful.

Absolutely!! He tells us HE is AND freely forgives those who come to HIM with a repentant hea…[Read more]

@Keith,

Jesus death covers repented sin.

Explain how the innocent can take on the sins of guilty when G-d said the guilty are responsible for their guilt. Will you enter a courtroom and take on the punishment of a murderer? So how can the Jesus take on the guilt of the entire world?

Jesus said-some of you here will never taste death– all there…

@Keith,

He only died 3 days and was raised.

So the Jesus died; how much greater then were Enoch and Elijah as neither saw death? You still haven’t answered the question of where in the Tanakh G-d said the Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind. The Tanakh speaks about the true Messiah, who he will be and what he will do; and I haven’t read a s…[Read more]
