Hi Nick,

Is Matt 25  not the final judgement? some are saved and some are not? it certainly seems a final judgement to me.I don’t see Jesus passing out crowns here. If this is just a “believers” judgement apparently all were not believers or doers maybe.

Hi Nick,

“The safe road is to repent and be baptised by water into the death and burial of Jesus and be raised in the Spirit.”

Don’t worry Nick I’ve been there and done that. So you think water baptism is a requirement for salvation I take it? Don’t worry I know the verses that teach that and have no problem with them either.

No I wasn’t confusing any scriptures.Did you read the passage in discussion?

Yes many verses speak of the first being last and the last first.In the KJV Matt20:16 has the phrase “for many be called,but few chosen” added to “so the last shall be first and the first last”. Look up that verse Matt 20:16 in most other translations and the “many be…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

The second death is after the judgement? I thought perhaps the second death was the final judgement.

So are you saying you think there are two judgements then? One at death then another at final judgement?

I was speaking to a Christian friend about this and told him if one goes to heaven when he dies then there should be no fear of the…[Read more]

So I get from what you say here you are a universalist? is that right? that is all shall eventually be saved by the love of God?

Since God is love and eternal and what he creates in love is also eternal?

Do I understand now? that the temple doesn’t apply to Christians? yes I do since there is no temple now,but according to the author of Acts those Jewish christians /apostles didn’t see it as St John said.Apparently they were still without the understanding we have today.But I don’t fault the author of Acts for this since he had no knowledge of…[Read more]

Why are there two deaths is a good question.Isn’t one enough? And  if nobody was ever really dead then what is a second death? except maybe more extreme torture from the terrible Jewish god? And why all this confusion? but to create more fear which is the greatest factor to manipulate and control people. ?

If it’s appointed to men once to die…[Read more]

Do you see some problem with what I say concerning giving or my mastery of scripture? Malachi teaches tithing by law to give food for priests and God’s house but what does Paul teach?
2Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
That is that we…[Read more]

Amen terra I do agree with you here,and i may never know if God is with you,but I believe he is as he is with me.

But I don’t test God through finances anymore.I grew up in a a so called faith which said we should be doing greater works than Christ and being rich and successful was the sign of God’s blessing.I’ve come to see these teachers as…[Read more]

So are saying I have nothing of God then? And just why would you think or say that?

Can you prove God is with you? Do you do greater works than Jesus? If not perhaps maybe you are not a real believer either,but just another pharisee.

The kingdom is within and this is my holy faith which produces the holy kingdom without.

Precious Terra,what are you saying here? Are you really saying to keep the tithe to yourself? Yourself being the temple of God? Malachi the desperate priest would not agree with that! God wanted food for his priests/himself.

But Paul-praise God,says we should give cheerfully and not by compulsion-no tithing.But giving to yourself doesn’t quite…[Read more]

Dear Nick,I take it you speak to me calling me A. Do you have the cash for the poor? Do you give it to them? if ye do then you give it to God and that is your good work which brings salvation to the soul.

Yes the so called faith without works is dead as St James says.Even demons who are also God’s sons believe in their father.

God requires that…[Read more]

So dear Gene are you saying”God’s elect” somehow have tangible evidence that his rejects don’t? Does God answer the prayer of sinners? Is there even such a thing as a “sinner’s prayer”? Or maybe it should be called the”elect’s prayer” which God caused them to pray and it wasn’t of themselves?

Is God the unjust judge? You decide,for God hears some…[Read more]

Faith is like cash to God.If ye give him the cash he is satisfied and thy soul shall be saved.

But do ye have the holy cash? Of course ye do! Only believe and you are saved! For God hath given you the cash through his Christ.God hath given to every man the measure of faith. So praise him!

If Jesus is a co-eternal it must be only in the thought of Jehovah.So Jehovah’s first thought or decree was having a son.So he had to make a physical creation in order to produce this son.This son was what Paul called the mystery hidden in God before time.

Yes Jesus has a father according to scripture,yet Jehovah father made this son Lord.In the…[Read more]

I asked God about these things too.I prayed he show me the truth.I heard a voice in my head say”Andrew,I’m okay,it’s alright.” Was this from God? who knows? I can stand on that and say that was God’s word to me,right? or I can say it’s all in head.

Was Jesus a holy pharisee himself? Some Zionist Christians seem to think so.Perhaps he was just a…[Read more]
