Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 26 2008,10:25)Hi 94, The spirit of God cannot die.Scripture does not say God gave His Spirit to Adam then removed it. Adam was our example of man with natural life, alike to all flesh, being unable to follow the ways of God.We do not follow the natural man but the new Adam, the source for us of eternal life.Totally agree…[Read more]

Nick ………I agree with Gene ……….How does God chasten us – does he use adversity? In 1 Peter it says our adversary the devil “roams” seeking to “devour” Brethren are also given over to Satan (adversary) for the destruction of the flesh – so that the spirit is saved in the day of the lord – Job was chastened and scourged – and he…[Read more]

Nick,From what I can see chapter 1 and 2 say that it is God through the adversary “Satan” testing Job. Satan said for GOD to put forth his (Gods hand) and to cause evil things to Job – then God said it is in your (Satans) hand for God to effect the physical realm he uses physical things – that is why God putting forth his hand is also Satan…[Read more]

Georg Is this what you are saying ………. I believe that Jesus was warning the Jews of impending doom and the destruction of 70AD ….. also the apostles were preaching that impending doom as well If you look at these verses it is the same language that Jesus was using when he was warning the pharisees of the destruction that was going to come…[Read more]

Quote (Tiffany @ Dec. 24 2008,10:20)Maria Do you agree with Georg that most if not all will come up in the Millenium, but each in their order like you say, and will be judged.

Georg I think that Peter was saying that those Jews who did not listen to the prophet (Jesus) would be cut off from the people – it was talking about 70AD judgement – he says it was prophecied for those days.Act 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him…[Read more]

All flesh has no hope – it is only at the mercy of God that any of us have hope. Your choice does not save you.

1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

Nick It is not just isolated verses that point to disobedience of all and salvation of all after judgement for deeds done in the flesh, it is taking scriptures in context that point to a overall plan of God, and he has revealed it in “types” physical Israel chosen, physical Israel disobedient, physical Israel judged, spiritual {all} Israel saved.…[Read more]
