Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,06:40)Hi 94, Here is the feast in Rev 19 coming just after the return of Jesus. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,06:22)Hi 94,We are to be clothed in Jesus through baptism.  Gal327For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.The only way that we can be clothed with a wedding garment of righteousness is by having our sins washed away by the blood of our Lord Jesus.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,06:24)Hi 94, Not fair 94. Goats will remain. But my guess is that far more will be saved in the final judgement than we could expect.Well that is your “guess” and I hope that you are right. I also would hope that Gene and Chosenone are right in saying “that all will be saved”. I just do not believe that the…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ Oct. 05 2008,16:16)Hi 942767.     By saying “all scripture is for us…” does not mean it is to us.  By saying it is for us, means we are to read it, and understand what it says, to understand what God is doing with His creation, but clearly it is to the “circumcision”, Israel.  That is what it means by saying “not all scr…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,06:12)Hi 94, That is what we preach. But it does not limit the mercy of God.Can you accept God has the final call?Yes, but you seem to want to have the final call. God has shown us through His Word what He will do. If He can have mercy on someone, I am all in favor of it.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,04:39)Hi 94, True, But Scripture does not limit the mercy of God.  Would you say God cannot do this?Matthew 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.You cannot come to the wedding without a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,05:13)Hi 94, In the courts it is called clemency. A guilty person can plead for and receive mercy. I believe our God of love will find excuses for as many as he can.Of course that does not alter what we must preach, the gospel of Jesus Christ, but we cannot condemn anyone for refusing to listen as the final call…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,16:30)Hi 94,Jn316For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,15:09)Hi 94, You have not revealed the scriptures as asked.You condemn all who do not respond to the message excluding the mercy of God.God is kinder.  Mt 25 31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32And before him shall be…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,15:33)Hi 94, Read 1 Peter and you will see how god advises us to live among the heathen, not constantly striving to desperately share the gospel at every possible opportunity with everyone we meet in the thought that it is the only possible means of salvation for them. Instead it advises us to live kindly and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,15:14)Hi 94, As soon as you reveal these verses.”Look at the beatitudes, the blessed promises of Mt 5, and show us how they involve rebirth into the kingdom.    What of those taken from the highways and byways?What of those who give a cup of water?  “Hi Nick:Quote Mat 5:1 ¶ And seeing the multitudes, he went up…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,14:11)Hi 94,Please show us where faith in God or in Jesus is demonstrated in Mt25.We are not saved by works but inherit the righteousness of Jesus if we are reborn into him You confuse the way of Jesus into the Millenial Kingdom, which is the recommended sabbath rest of Heb 4, with the rescue of other sheep found…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,14:14)Hi 94, The way of Jesus is into the Millenial Kingdom. But that kingdom goes beyond the millenium and the judgement of the nations.We are extolled in Heb 4 to ensure our entry through the way of Jesus but God's mercy goes beyond the Way.God is not limited by what is revealed about Him in His Word.Hi…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,11:48)Hi 94,To be given the seed is not enough but the soil must accept and make room in us that it may grow and continue to grow even unto fruit.  Otherwise it remains as a single seed. Taking up the cross daily and denying ourselves and walking.True. I agree.

Quote (chosenone @ Oct. 05 2008,12:09)942767.     Correct.Hi Co:Then if the scriptures in 1 John are for us, let's take a look at a few scriptures and see if you agree with what they say:First we must believe:Quote 1Jo 5:10  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,12:19)Hi 94,We die in baptism-Rom6.We die to sin, and we also die daily as we learn to crucify the flesh and apply the Word of God to our daily lives.
