First off, I will try to get to your longer post later, presuming it is sufficiently respectful. Of course truth matters! That is what all of us here are after. This is a mere disagreement about what it is based on different interpretations of the Bible. If you don't believe that all of us are...

He will. Realize, though, that death can at times be mercy.

I can't speak for the other person, but I believe the first is temporary. As for Rev 14:11, a word study on 'forever' says a lot. Even any literal translation worth its salt will instead use the expression "to the age of ages," suggesting a finite period. If you have any doubt on that, realize...

Now here is someone with a reasonable tone and question. Thank you for being a good example. 🙂 I am not the one you asked, but there are different parts of God's plan. In fact we are in a time of judgment - Hence Covid, wildfires, hurricanes, etc. This is not final judgment, though, and there...

What does it matter what pagan's think? Pagan's believe most people have 10 fingers and toes, that the sun will come up tomorrow, that you are better off eating vegetables than candy, and that love is a good thing. The only thing that really matters is what is true. This is why God told my...

I can understand how you feel, and you may not be altogether wrong about the intentions of the wording, but it was actually a valid and informative adjective nonetheless. Much of paganism got mixed into Christianity because Satan, and we need to be aware so we can seek real purity and truth...

That is exactly the point of annihilationists - that eternal suffering is contrary to the verse you quote.

FYI, you have multiple unfound assertions in there that won't convince anybody.

While I agree that the aforementioned passage is about the best evidence I have encountered for the view of hell being fiery suffering, this passage does not indicate the duration of that suffering. There is a lot of Bible prophecy yet to play out, and many, many verses that suggests a...

Yes indeed. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 NASB1995 I have studied this issue in depth since my early teens (now middle-aged), and initially with a desire as most teens have to...

I'm so glad you have come to know that there is a God who loves you. But why do you say that you don't yet have a relationship with him? Perhaps it is a new relationship, but if you are following after Him at all you have a relationship with Him. Maybe you need to better understand what it...

Apparently you make brownies like my mother did until our roommate moved in and educated her - dry and overdone. Brownies are unique among baked goods in that they are fully baked when they are still gooey. In truth they shouldn't be liquid but neither should the toothpick be clean.

Time is physical. Spiritual things aren't subject to time the way physical things are, whether they are of God or not. Humans are both physical and spiritual, while angels - holy or fallen, are only spiritual. Therefore there are at least some things that Satan's side can see ahead. But I...

Good question. As with many questions of biblical things, it comes down to the spirit - in this case the spirit of the wrestler/complainer. If the person is standing on faith in God and His goodness, this is wrestling and healthy. Jacob demanded God bless him because he knew God was good and...

Sounds like it might be the difference between the early and late harvest. I was just reading about this in reading up on the biblical feast days since today was The Day of Atonement. The Old Covenant focuses on physical harvests - grain & oil/olives vs. wine/grapes; but the New Covenant is...

The Day of Atonement represents the same thing in all the Covenants - The placing of blame and consequent redemption. It represents Satan being overcome. Bible passages of Note (There are likely more): Old Testament: Leviticus 16 New Testament: Hebrews 9

Make sure to bake your brownies until the toothpick comes out clean.

It's complicated. Remember that God is outside of time. Therefore when He creates you, He essentially reads the whole book of your life at once. I don't know how this can be without time, but this is also why God didn't know that Satan would rebel - our lives are not written out ahead. Also...

Thank you for all the good input but I'm confused about your notes on the "3 second thingy." I don't remember encountering this before, though I am not certain. I have encountered it multiple times in the last few days and for reasons I don't understand since it surely took me more than 3...

Actually I don't use Edge. I first noticed this problem on my Android phone where the emojis are hidden and only the hover tags show up. Then today on my laptop I started getting where I can't see the emojis except for a very quick flash, I can't even reliably give a response every time, and I...
