Here’s a little quote from C. H. Hadden.
Here’s a little quote from C. H. Hadden.
“The system of truth revealed in the Scriptures is not simply one straight line, but two; and no man will ever get a right view of the gospel until he knows how to look at the two lines at once…..I see, in one place, God in providence presiding over all, and yet I see, and I cannot help seeing, that man acts as he pleases, and that God has left his actions, in a great measure, to his own free will. Now, if I were to declare that man was so free to act that there was no control of God over his actions, I should be driven very near to atheism; and if, on the other hand, I should declare that God so over-rules all things that man is not free enough to be responsible, I should be driven at once into antimonianism or fatalism. That God predestines, and yet that man is responsible, are two facts that few cansee clearly. They are believed to be inconsistent and contradictory, but they are not. The fault is in our weak judgment. Two truths cannot be contradictory to each other…..They are two lines that are so nearly parallel, that the human mind which pursues them farthest will never discover that they converge; but they do converge, and they will meet somewhere in eternity, close to the throne of God, whence all truth doth spring.
To actually be awakened by the Lord is the greatest gift one could ever hope for in this physical life. For when a person is truly awakened, there is no desire to fall asleep, for we understand what it means . . . going back to the enslavement of the Devil, which is death. Furthermore, when a person has experienced Spiritual death in a physical way, there is no chance they will ever, ever go back to Satan's captivity, even if they could.
2 Corinthians 5:11 NKJV - "Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences."
The Terror of the Lord is simply . . . just . . . the most frightening thing any human could conceive of. Words can be used to describe this terror, but human words are never enough. I wish that all people would be given this gift, for it would help them to understand the validity of the Spiritual world and the sheer reality of Satan. I also wish that more would be given a similar experience that the Apostle Paul had while on the Damascus Road. It seems that he had experienced both, which is why he was able to suggest about 18 times that if people were to follow his example, they would be like Christ.
Because Paul experienced the Spiritual world, he recognized that physical death would not stop him from Loving God as he only could. Paul had virtually no choice but to obey.

How did I miss these two panels? Did you add them after the fact?
Heh I added both because the one face looks so sweet and gentle and really does not convey any reason to fear...
I know that fear of the Lord, of falling into the hands of the living God. Yes. I probably would not be here if I did not.

No, I cannot really imagine it, and I know, I have seen others say,
they cannot either... where/to whom is there to go?, as Peter asked.
Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would
we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God."
Why do you always find what you are looking for in the last place you look?
Because after you find it, you stop looking!

That you have denied going beyond what Scripture explicitly states is well documented in these pages.
You asked me to point out where you do this, which I have done numerous times since then, and not
once that I saw did you admit it. No, instead you made excuses for making assumptions and rationalized
reading into the text what was not there. Your quacking ad homs, deflections, and continued denials do
not eliminate your responsibility in this matter, nor do they hide your lack of integrity. Au contraire.

Why is "believe in me" redundant? I mean after all....according to you Jesus must have been addressing the dumbest people on the planet, since they didn't know they were physically alive.
That would be just fine with me.

I think I understand what you mean, however, don't all of us believe at least some things that are not true? And if our hearts are genuinely seeking the truth, how could we be condemned though we understand the core, backbone, and spine of the Bible? How can a person be condemned if they understand the terms of the Circumcision Covenant and in by doing so, have received the Spiritual Circumcision of Christ?
I mean C. H. Spurgeon
If a person is born with a Sinful Nature (that must one day be replaced with the Mind of Christ), and if this Sinful Nature is what compels a person to disobey the Lord, how can they be responsible for their choices and actions? Isn't this the basis and foundation for our ability to Forgive? The Lord has shown us the easy path to Forgiveness, for what else can we expect from those who have yet to receive the Circumcision of Christ? And if a person has not been set free from this mind of Satan, we have no choice but to understand their unholy predicament, and are able to look upon them with understanding.
To fully understand the Circumcision of Christ is to LIVE in a state and condition of Forgiveness.
