There are many Churches today that believe and teach that their members should be filled with the Holy Spirit and they allow and encourage their people to operate in these gifts like how Paul taught it in 1 Cor 14. You can experience it in Assemblies of God churches all over the world...

Wow! @TheLearner I did not know this. Well done. This needs further analysis from the Greek but I think it is a strong argument against what @ChristianSubMissionary has been saying when insisting that the word does not mean torment.

I get the impression that they also rely on their founders writings to help them interpret the bible. Some woman name EG White I think. But maybe also other leaders in their movement that they give "prophet" status to.

I do believe that being filled with the Holy Spirit to preach the Word and relying on the Holy Spirit to give me understanding in the scriptures is the priority and foundation of a good bible preacher and teacher. The degree, paper or title does not concern me in the least. There might be some...

Similar to this type of dishonesty is that of ordering a paper that says they are "ordained minister" by some bogus organization. There is no accountability and no credibility behind this kind of "ordination" credentialing process. You may say "who needs a paper of ordination or licensing by...

I know what you mean. It is obvious that there are more and more people willing to lie about this. And yes, if you order a paper from a web site for $50 after answering a bunch of theological questions and they send you a paper calling you a Doctor and you put it on the wall and tell people...

I think I know what you are saying. And yet it is only by the written word that we have revelation of Jesus Christ and what He taught us to believe. So it is God's method to impart Himself to us through revelation in the Word. This revelation of truth is found in the scripture. He opens up...

I will use the KJV when my sources tell me it is a better translation on a verse but if not I will use the NIV, or another faithful modern English dynamic equivalent. A word for word equivalent does not exist. Maybe an Interlinear would be as close to a word for word as you can get and that...

Notice the emphasis on how it is a RIGHTEOUS THING for them to suffer everlasting destruction. Also notice that the flaming fire of VENGEANCE is what is RIGHTEOUS. It is indeed a righteous thing that brings us great HOPE that the wicked, especially those that have persecuted the prophets and...

I have no idea what you are trying to say. If they are in the Lake of Fire, they have already been raised from the dead and judged and cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer eternal punishment. But no one can be saved by paying with their own blood. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can...

He shed his blood when he died. Basic salvation theology. Rom 3:25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand...

Do you think it means that there are some who are thinking God will look over some things that they need to repent of and who will not change until they find out that God is not going to look over those things and casts them out? Like maybe some people think they have done the necessary things...

It's not correct theology. Our sins were paid for by the BLOOD of Jesus. The life was in the Blood and the Blood is what paid the price. Your logic is faulty. It was not the agony that paid the price it was the blood that was shed during the agony. The same with the stripes. It was not the...

I am no expert on the manuscripts in extant but I have learned that the answer to the question "Which English Translation of the Bible is the Best One?" is... "It Depends on the Verse in Question." This view will not change based on a video. The reason it will not change is that the science of...

"Guardian of Truth?" Is that what we are calling moderators now days? LOL @Oncefallen will appreciate that. :)

It still means it cant be put out and you have no right to add to that "except.. blah blah blah" In this scenario there is no such thing as it burning out of itself. You wish that was the case but you are wrong. It never goes out. Period. You can't explain a way where it goes out...

Imagination about some taking longer to drown than others. It is you imagining how it must have been. It has no authority to create a teaching that some will burn longer than others in the Lake of Fire. And the heavens and earth being burned up with a fervent heat and the element dissolving...

If people had a revelation of how evil sin really is, they would understand how just eternal damnation was. But we are so hard it takes much prayer and renewing of the mind to begin to get a glimpse of it and even then it is too overwhelming to contemplate.

If the fire is not quenched it is still burning. Nothing in the word, English or Greek, or the context suggests that it ever goes out for lack of fuel. You are in violation of attempting to change the intended meaning. Jesus meant to communicate that the fire does not go out. You are trying...

I don't know what all that means. I think I am talking over your head so never mind. If you ever start taking classes to learn Koine Greek you will understand what I meant.
