John 1:18. 18 God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He unfolds Him.1Cor.8:5-6 5 For even if so be that there are those being termed gods, whether in heaven or on earth, even as there are many gods and many lords,6 nevertheless for us there is one God, the Father, out of Whom all is, and we for…[Read more]

Hi Wm. You stated that you do not believe God created anyone evil. In Proverbs 16:4…Yahwey has made everything for its own pertinent end,Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Also, in Ro.9:21…21 Or has not the potter the right over the clay, out of the same kneading to make one vessel, indeed, for honor, yet one for dishonor? I…[Read more]

Hi seekingtruth. In Job 34:10, I believe it says that “God cannot do evil”, I agree totally, God cannot “DO” evil, but He “uses” it for His purpose. Which is “to become all in all” (1Cor.15) Also in James 1:13, Again, I believe in that statement, that God does not “tempt anyone”. Scripture says “All is of God”, His purpose is to achieve…[Read more]

Gene. Thanks for your reply to terraricca, you said it better than I could have. Just quoting a lot of scripture that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, does not prove anything, except divert attention from what is being discussed.God Bless, Jerry.

Quote (seekingtruth @ Mar. 09 2010,13:45)When I state something followed by “my opinion” I''m saying that it is to the best of my understanding and I'm submitting it for discussion to better understand truth, if I state things as facts, then I'm teaching.WmHi Wm. I agree, that is a good explanation. I included scripture with my opinion, would…[Read more]

terraricca. I strongly disagree, an opinion is NOT giving “advice”. Also, according to the 'Interlinear Scripture Analyser', the correct translation for that scripture is “evil”. It is only 'your' opinion that Gene and I are wrong, It is our opinion that you are wrong. So we'll just have to agree to disagree. I will not correspond on this…[Read more]

terraricca. Your quoting more scripture to add to what I posted does not in any way negate what I said.Can you show me what parts of scripture that you added that I supposedly “twisted minds”? You don't make any sense in your reply, try and be more specific in your answers, and less disrespectful, it would be more befitting and “Christlike”.Jerry.

The more we have been exposed to evil the more were hate it. As cruel and hateful evil is, it…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 08 2010,14:08)Hi CO,Read for yourself.Find supporting verses and do not make a patchwork quilt.Just do not read the sacred words in defence of man's dogmas like universalism.NH. No scripture, just criticise, typical. Can't find scripture for your dogmatic view of Hell?

Gene. Very well put, you explained it perfectly.Jerry.

NH. So, in context, describe what you understand these scripture mean?We're anxiuosly awaiting what, in your wisdom, within context, their meaning!Again, like the last reply, I don't expect an answer, just more of your jibberish.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 06 2010,06:43)Hi co, Yes we have little tolerance for false doctrines like “the eternal Gospel for all”. Should we accept all such lies when Jesus came to offer real hope?NH. I modified your reply to reflect your opinion. “The 'false'one.”

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 04 2010,12:35)hi CO, Ahh. So at the CONSUMMATION all men will repent unto salvation? Where does this new gospel come from?NH. Not a new Gospel, read 1Cor.15. I thought you knew your scriptures???

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 04 2010,06:17)Hi CO, Indeed Paul was sent to the gentile nations just as Jesus was sent to Israel. But neither achieved a full response to their call for repentance into life.NH. Of course a 'full response' was not achieved, but this will be accomplished at the “consummation”.
