Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 02 2009,12:13)Hi 94, Do you prescribe the mercy of God?God's Word prescribes His mercy not you not I.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 02 2009,10:05)Hi 94, Legalism confines God to judgement and not mercy. My God is of love and mercy.Hi Nick:John 3:16 states: “For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish.” This is the means by which God has chosen to have mercy on those who want to be…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 02 2009,09:48)Hi 94, We are not speaking of entry to the millenial kingdom but the mercy God shows to many in the judgement after the second resurrection.Heb 4 urges us to take the smarter option.No, there will be no mercy for those who have not believed. What you are saying is speculation.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2009,16:01)Hi 94, God filled the gaps at the table with the poor and downtrodden like Lazarus, and those who had entered without going through the gate of Jesus, even being found as his friend, but not being clothed with him in baptism, like thieves and robbers were removed.Hi Nick:Except a man be born of water and of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2009,15:15)Hi 94, So you think those taken from the highways and byways are the same ones who are thrown out of the wedding feast? I do not know such a god.Hi Nick:Let's post these scriptures in context and see what the scriptures state:Quote Mat 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2009,15:18)Hi 94, Jn524Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. So was Jesus speaking of the future or to believers who would listen to his word even now??John 11:26And…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2009,13:55)Hi KW, Tell me about the belief that these hadMatthew 22:10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.Hi Nick:Quote Mat 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 01 2009,11:21)Hi KW,You forget that whoever gives you a cup of water because you belong to me will not lose his reward. The road is narrow and few will choose it. They asked JesusMatthew 19:25When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can be saved?”He replied. 26And looking at them Jesus…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2009,16:43)Hi 94, Take off the black judge's hat and hope for God to be merciful to many, like our relations and friends.I preach and live the gospel, and pray for all men to come to repentance so that they can be saved.

Quote (thethinker @ April 01 2009,02:50)Guy's surgery went well and he is in good spirits. His pain is at a minimum because he had no circulation in the foot to begin with. And I was happy to hear from his wife that the surgeons removed only his toes. But Guy told me they said that they would be removing his foot to the ankles.Anyway, I am glad…[Read more]

Quote (thethinker @ Mar. 31 2009,15:01)Marty,You state two contradictions in your post. The first is this:Quote Jesus was obeying God in all that he did, and therefore, the whole responsibility lies with the Father.This statement is a contradiction within itself. If Jesus obeyed God in all that He did then the Father cannot have the full…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2009,16:01)Hi 94, When did you become the one who limits God? God is not confined by anything or anyone.It is His Word that states that someone who does not believe is condemned not me.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2009,15:21)Hi 94, The rich man in Hades wanted to go back and tell his brothers not to ignore the poor at the gate but it was too late for him and perhaps them too.What does that have to do with the scriptures that I have quoted showing that the only way to be saved is by believing the gospel?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2009,14:41)Hi 94,Yes that is the pronounced judgement. But it does not constrain the sovereign bountiful mercy of GodHi Nick:And what about the following scriptures:Quote 2Th 2:9 , whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of…[Read more]

Hi Nick:If what you are saying is true, how do you reconcile it with the following scripture?Quote : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Quote (thethinker @ Mar. 31 2009,12:48)To All,Our brother Seeking has advocated the notion that the Father took the full responsibility for our salvation. I offered him the non-trinitarian explanation of John 10:30 where Jesus said “I and the Father are one.” The non-trinitarian explanation is that the Father and the Son act as one. I agree with…[Read more]

Hi Thinker:I am praying for you and Guy.Love in Christ,Marty
