Question? Who are these people? Where do they live? How long will they
live?
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
into the city.
Rev 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Another question, please?
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
Jesus is of course talking about the sheep and the goats here. But the
words "everlasting" and "eternal" in the KJV are in the Greek one and
the same word. Would JESUS Himself lie? Is He not clearly stating that
those in punishment and the righteous (in Christ) live without end?
What applies to one must surely apply to the other. If you twist this,
then the whole of scripture is worthless. You might just as well write
your own book or just toss it all together, and live according to the
dictates of the flesh.
Harold, be careful. You are setting yourself against what Yah'shua
Himself declared,after going to great length to illustrate HIS
judgement and division upon the nations.
Now, you keep asking "how can God", which communicates to me, "help me
understand". So what I'm hearing is that you cannot accept or believe
what you do not understand. To me, that is to bring God down to the
level of man. This is a huge mistake made by millions of people the
world over and from the beginning of time.
Romans 1:20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible
nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have
been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the
things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without
excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],(B)
21Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not
honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they
became futile and [c]godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings,
foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds
were darkened.
22Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart,
they made simpletons of themselves].
23And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal
God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal
man and birds and beasts and reptiles.
So your concerns about those who heard not the Gospel are clearly
addressed here, are they not?
Changing the subject just a bit, it has come to my attention that you
are a "preterist". I would just like to hear it from you, as I do not
like hearsay. Is that true? A simple yes or know will do. Thank you.
