Hi Georg:You say:Quote If the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are not being resurrected, then Jesus did not die for all; I suggest you don't make a liar out of Jesus.I gave you scripture to show you what Jesus was saying.

Quote (Tiffany @ Dec. 26 2008,21:14)Take a look at this scripture.Mat 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Why would Jesus say that if there was no chance for them to repent?Grace is the undeserved forgiveness of our sins for Jesus sake, not for ours,…[Read more]
