Certainly God does choose people for specific purpose. I don’t think anyone deny’s that. This isn’t about Calvinism( I take exception with certain doctrines like Tulip). What does scripture say? John chapter 17 really lays out the theology of the the Father and Son and those that were choose and...

What about the man of lawlessness(The Anti-Christ)? He will be born a man. Does he have a choice as to whom he will be or has God ordained that particular individual to be the son of perdition?

I like her.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them and I will raise them up at the last day. John 6:44. So was does the Father initiate this or it is the individuals own doing?

You’re response is not in line with what scripture teaches. The doctrine of Annihilation has never been a core belief held by any major denomination. I know you don’t like the idea of conscious torment, but that doesn’t dismiss it. Does "worldwide" qualify a denomination as "major"? The...

What's the punishment? IT'S DEATH! Not "eternal torment", but death. If the wages of sin was eternal torment, the only way Jesus could take away our sin debt would be that HE BE ETERNALLY TORMENTED. Please think about that for a while. You’re response is not in line with what scripture...

What circles have you traveled? In other words, what have they entailed?

Troy Black. Oh boy. I would say he’s one of YouTubes more prominent self-proclaimed prophets.

I think what is being lost in this forum is that Jesus is not just giving a warning, but describing what is reality. Yes hell is real and yes a great number of people will end up there.

You do know that word has to do with a sexual obsession with a par if that’s how you would like to internalize it

Most Orthodox Jews do believe the messiah will come. This varies of course. I do listen from time to time to different Rabbi’s as I’m interested. This guy is not a Rabbi, but it gives you kind of an insight:
