Hi Nick,I think you got it right, we were not able to choose God by our 'free wills' but God the Father has drawn us with His love and grace towards Him certainly He influenced us to come to Him as per His foreordained plan and Election. This is the reason why many have not come to the this God though they could have used their free wills and…[Read more]

It's true, I don't know how to introduce these newly learnt concepts with my two Pastor brothers here in India.

I agree.

Sorry to question here, whether the souls of mortals live after birth? But in many places in the Bible it is mentioned that the mortals don't have conscience or aware of things happenning after death. How to believe this idea of immortal souls?

I see, but how do they believe this?

I heard a wonderful message on this topic in Ezkiel. I hope God will lead me into that experience of total control of my life.ThanksAdam

Hi Sis,The child can only choose what is feeded to him he can not choose some thing different than he has been fed to him. So I believe every thing we choose defend on cause and effects but no free will again. We certainly have an ability choose what is already fed to us and are being influenced by them.Peace and love to youAdam

Thanks for that.

Good question brother.

Is this “Universal” you just quoted is diferent from the so called “Universalism”?

Hi brother WJ, how about this verse in Proverbs 22?6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it”.That's why we teach our children God's ways so that they may not turn away from this path when they are grown up. If the influence of worldiness increases our children tend to choose the other way than…[Read more]

I agree with that view, that's why I used to mention that we have to release our inhibitions in sharing what we understood on certain issues then only others can give their opinion on them.

I agree but so far I have not contributed much for this new topic “the Universalism”. To be frank I don't know much on this topic though I studied some thing on the Net.

You mean God will be all in all?What is the meaning of this verse in 1 Thess 4?14 “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep”.

Amen to that.

Hope so brother.

Thanks Nick for sharing information, do you mean we will have both spirits as we have now?

Hi Nick,Jesus was a human like us when he was born on this earth and his spirit left him when he died. The same thing will happen to us when we die. You say that Jesus rose again with the Spirit of God, unless a person have his own spirit how can he be an independent person? If Jesus is sharing God's Spirit and not having his own spirit how can…[Read more]
