Nick. You say… “The kindom of God to Jews and Gentiles by the same gospel. Still the same error repeated.Matt.15:24…”I (Jesus) was not commissioned except to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal.”Col.1: I (Paul) am now rejoicing in my sufferings for you, and am filling up in my flesh, in His stead, the deficiencies of the afflictions…[Read more]

Thanks Adam, sometimes it is difficult to swim against the current, but we trust in God.Blessings, Jerry.

Even these choices are set by somebody not that you have every thing for you to choose freely. If God is not having control on lives we would have been lost forever. He is somuch merciful to draw us towards Him…[Read more]

Where in scripture does it say, “God gave us free will?” It is always of God, see Ro.11:35-36… seeing that out of Him and through Him and for Him is all: to Him be the glory for the eons! Amen! Even when we make choices, it is God working in us to do His will. See Phil.2:13… for it is God Who is operating in you to will as well as to…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 11 2008,14:32)Hi,The primary mission of Christ Jesus was to preach the kingdom of God to the Jews.

Nick. You say “Better to believe scripture…” Who more than you doesn't believe scripture? I've asked you to show me why you don't believe Matt. 15:24, and you can't answer! You also say there is no scripture supporting the salvation of all. When I show you 1Tim 4:19 “God is the saviour of all mankind”, you ignore that also. And…[Read more]

Hi Gene. I can feel your frustration with Nick. His last post to you about Luke 11:49, he still doesn't know that this message was to the “Jews”.

Death is death, the absence of life. The second death is just that. After one have been vivified from the first death, it is posible to die again. Simple!Blessings.

Hi WJ. The scriptures you quoted Mk.8:34-38, were for the Jews. (Matt.15:24) “I (Jesus) was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. In this era they were under the “old covenant” and the “Law”. To lose your “soul”, was to loose your life (die). They, of course, thought that they used their “free will” to…[Read more]

There is no “proof” that universalism isn't true.Blessings.

The “lake of fire” is the second death (Rev.20:14). Will not death be abolished? 1Cor.15:26-27 The last enemy is being abolished: death.Blessings.

Hi dk, Not sure of what verses in John 10 you are refering to that say Jesus' teaching is to the gentiles (nations)?Blessings.
