Nick………In all those scriptures you quoted and rightly by the way, Yet that does not do away with where Jesus said they (WOULD) go into the Kingdom of God, even if it is after the tax collectors and Prostitutes go in.

Nick………If you (COMPLETELY) removed GOD and our INTELLECT there would not exist anything at all, God attaches power to His words (INTELLECT). They are not separate. The word of God is POWERFUL as a two edged SWORD deviding the marrow from the Bone. Infact it says we are cleansed or washed by the WORD. The word of GOD is indeed POWER. BUt you…[Read more]
