Let me give you my .02 cents worth. We were called out of the Catholic Church when my Husband was 47 and I was 46. Even tho not to many understand the W.W.Church of God, but there we learned to read the Bible. We learned first about Maria not staying a Virgin and the trinity doctrine being false. But we learned the most when after the Church split…[Read more]

Rev. 20:6 “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”Once the saints have been resurrected, they have nothing more to fear; every one else will have pass the final test at the end of the…[Read more]

Paul says, we are saved by faith and not by works. So what works would you want to judge those by, that have never heard the name Jesus?And how can they get their name into the book of life, if not given a chance to hear and to believe? Paul did ask that same question, Rom. 10:13-14.Georg

W H O I S G O D?Ask this question today in our 21st Century and the answer would be obvious. Most people would point upwards and say, “God is God”. 2000 years ago the answer would not have been so obvious. The Romans had many gods; a god of thunder, a god of lightening, a god of rain, a god of war, a god of love, ect, ect. There is som…[Read more]

QUINTUS SEPTIMUS FLORENS TERTULLIANWho was Tertullian? And why is he so important to these studies? Tertullian was born to pagan parents, in Carthage North Africa, in the year 155 A.D. He was educated in philosophy, and in Greek and Latin Literature; he also studied law. He became greatly interested in Christianity, because he admired those…[Read more]

David In your first post you said something about venerating the cross. I do know that the Catholics do venerate the cross on Good Friday. I truly believe that is an abomination. Only God the Father deserves such Honor. The cross itself whether it was a stake or cross is not important. What is important that He died for our Sins and now sits on…[Read more]

Hi NickGod is just to every one, some may call it a second chance, to others who have never heard the name Jesus it will be the first chance, and only chance. During the thousand year reign of Christ, he will teach, judge, all man, and only those who refuse to listen will suffer eternal consequences.Georg

theodorej, I totally agree with you, on both posts.Georg

Hi NickThat's right.Georg

My bible does not say they were “taken” from the earth, they were “redeemed” from the earth.Did not Christ redeem all of us?Neither does it say before the throne “in heaven”, but I can see why one would assume that, since God's throne is in heaven.But these saints are not going to serve God in heaven, he has angels for that.This great multitude of…[Read more]

Quote (pythagorus @ July 07 2008,23:41)Hi thanks for your courteous reply.Theodorej. There seems to me to be a problem if religious people can't see the abominations of evil doings of Israel, the culmination of Zionism….or they ignore it and make excuses for it based on the religious fantasies which bigots such as American evangelistic money…[Read more]

Quote (dirtyknections @ July 17 2008,13:34)Since the lake of fire represents “the second death” and since Revelation 20:14 says that both “death and Hades” are to be cast into it, it is evident that the lake cannot represent the death man has inherited from Adam (Ro 5:12), nor does it refer to Hades (Sheol). It must, therefore, be symbolic of anot…[Read more]
