    What is God's highest priority?

    Philippians 2:9-11 New International Version 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Thank you. As with many things, it depends on one's view of the matter. Some sum it up one way, while others sum it up differently. It's good to try to look at it carefully. Some things are clear to me and not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. (Obviously.) One of the scriptures I have in mind...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Since you believe those verses are true, which are presumably Jesus' words, I'm curious to know if you believe the following verses are also true. According to the Bible, Jesus described hell as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), where “the fire is not quenched”...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    What is important are deeds, not "intentions", best expressed by James 2:14-17 & Matthew 25:41-42. "Faith, if it has no works is dead", whereas those who did not feed the hungry will be "accursed" and sanctioned to the "eternal fire". The God of Israel, Abraham, and Isaac crushed Israel when...

    Questions for God

    That is not what Jesus taught. Jesus taught that we should solve the hunger problem while the needy are still alive. Matthew 25:41-46 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    Reincarnation alone can explain people remembering past births. I think it was exorcised from christian church because it challenges the idea of saving by jesus once for all.

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    or the lake of fire is pure fiction, stolen from the Egyptians.

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    @Yokefellow @Bharat Jhunjhunwala Us 3 understand reincarnation. @Bharat Jhunjhunwala What are your thoughts about this post that @Yokefellow showed that the Bible shows reincarnation?

    LGBT Community Rights

    These get too long to respond to in a way that is readable by the members. So let's just take a look at the above. Yes, I note the first sentence -- and then I note the second! That maybe "the acceptance and liberation of LGBTQ++ community...hasn't contributed to making a better society except...

    The Lake of Fire is Reincarnation

    Christians are told that the God of the Christian Bible either torments and burns the Unsaved for infinity, or completely annihilates them in a place called the Lake of Fire. Critics are quick to point out that this is a glaring contradiction to the 'God of Love' that the Bible advocates... 1...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    That is a modern reading, changing the meaning. In the religion Jesus believed in the devil. Jesus exorcized demons out of pigs as well. He believed the demonology of the day. In the story they are real. But it's a story and like revelations are not actually true. No matter who makes the claim...

    What is the Rapture?

    I believe that sounds like JW nonsense.

    Why is there a hell if God can fix souls and save them?

    Told you what exactly? Which version of the Bible, which translation? Are you familiar with the original texts and languages at all along with translations into English? What "hell" are you referring to exactly? Tartarus? Sheol? Hades? Gehenna? "Hell" translates as the grave if I recall...

    Why is there a hell if God can fix souls and save them?

    1) I don't have to question the purpose of it in as much as Jesus already told us. Of course, it is within the context of my signature. And, actually, I questioned everything in as much as at the age of 28 I said to myself, "I will begin with believing it is true and test the sucker. I will...

    Islam vs western values

    your posts are great. I would add that Hell was prepared for Satan and his angels: Matthew 25:41. Man chooses who he will serve. If he chooses God, he receives the righteousness of Christ and becomes one with God. If he rejects God, he becomes guilty by association and receives the...

    What is the Rapture?

    1 Corinthians 15:51-52, coupled with Thessalonians 4:17 at least insinuate the righteous disappearing in an instant. A careful study of scripture implies there are two events. In the first (the Rapture), the righteous are taken and the wicked left. In the second, the wicked are removed and the...

    What is the Rapture?

    Although the part about the mark/number and buying/selling is true, nowhere does it say or imply that millions will disappear in an instance. This part about the righteous disappearing and the wicked left behind seems totally made up (I am not sure by whom or where it originated). In fact...

    Gehenna Is Not Hellfire; what is it?

    Hey DNB, hope you and yours are doing well! If these Scriptures are to be understood literally, then really if someone is literally experiencing punishment / torment forever? To experience something, you have to be alive, aware. But Matthew 25:46 contrasts the two phrases. Are you familiar...

    Gehenna Is Not Hellfire; what is it?

    I do believe, as you do, in the texts of Ecclesiastes 9:5, Genesis 3:19, and Psalms 146:3,4. I believe in soul-sleep. But, I don't regard the verses in question as eschatological, but merely expressing the significance of being alive, and how useless one is upon death: in praising God or doing...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Since the thread is not about hell-fire or what happens after death -- I shall refrain from going into detail about your post. Meantime, going back to the topic, did death "evolve" from life? What do you think? Remember here -- I'm speaking of death. And evolution. Did it evolve?
