And there's your problem Keiw, you think you're the only Arians in the worldI studied in trinity religions, they tell all they go to heaven.
Ok this speaks of a future when Christ comes to earth. And literally has nothing to do with anyone's eternal Destiny. This earth still exists. and a new heaven and new earth had not been created yet
Well, you haven't even attempted to prove your point!You still have not proven your point.
Show me where Noah, And Adam, And Elijah, and Moses and David etc etc will not be in heaven after this world is destroyed
John already found out who the 144,000 are and wrote it down.Yes, these are the little flock( Luke 12:32)=the anointed bride of Christ=144,000( Rev 14:3)
John told us who would reign with Jesus as kings and priests. They were redeemed from EVERY tongue, EVERY tribe, EVERY people and EVERY nation.bought from the Earth( to heaven) to sit on thrones as kings and priests by Jesus' side( Rev 1:6, Rev 20:6)
Are you saying that the original sheep of that original fold are the lost sheep of the house of Israel Jesus spoke of?The ( John 10:16) other sheep who are not of that fold=the great crowd of Rev 7:9)
You are wrong in all areas here my friend.Dear Eternally Grateful,
You said:
No. It represents the animals that would be sacrificed according to the law. And as Jesus said, it represents him hanging on a cross.
You are right when you said that the serpent of the pole represents the Old Covenant which is based upon man's attempt to make themselves righteous before the Law.
The fact remains. Satan can come. and he can speak. and he can convince us he is god.Surely you would know God's Spirit He sent communicates with our enliven spirit.
This can involve our brain (processor) in our head.
Sometimes He has been known to download stuff like visions, dreams, languages that may even require a third part to interprete.
So I can't say how much the brain in our head is required.
Universalism is the belief everyone will end up in heaven.,Correct. He has never told me that.
People use this term but I'm not exactly sure what it is.
No,Because they repented and turned around( Acts 3:19)= stopped doing those sins.
You did not answerGod appointed Jesus and the little flock as judge.
Jesus makes it clear--John 15:10-14- Those that obey remain his friend and in his love, just as he must obey his Father to remain in his love.
How good is good enough?In a sense-Rom 3:10-- But those who obey are declared righteous.
Acts 24:15--The righteous and unrighteous get resurrected-- So Rom 3:10 doesn't mean what you think. How can the righteous be resurrected if there aren't actually any?
HOW GOOD IS GOOD ENOUGH?They must obey. And the biggest one they must obey= Man does not live by bread alone but by EVERY utterance from God=OT-NT--learned, applied and obeyed=Few bother. That is why Few will find the road that leads off into life.
They were in paradise. just like we will be when we die.. If we are a child of GodNone who died prior to Jesus will be apart of the little flock. None entered heaven, ever before Jesus ascended back to heaven.
He still called himself God.They also said he got his power from( Matt 12:24) satan, did you believe their words there? They NEVER said a truth about Jesus. Jesus called them liars and their father was the devil.( John 8:42-47)-- Not wise to believe the words of hate filled hearts.
This is in a future time. during the time of Gods wrath. when God saves 144000 Israel and sends them out as missionaries to the worldJohn already found out who the 144,000 are and wrote it down.
Some would say it could be detrimental to anyone who adds or takes away from any revelation in his scroll.
But that up to you.
7:4 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,
from the tribe of Levi 12,000,
from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
Yet he gives us the dimensionsThat's because a "new heavens" and "new earth" is not a literal one. What, you think God is going to destroy his dwelling place?
Your the one who made the statement, Prove it.. I am still waitingIt's symbolic.
Well, you haven't even attempted to prove your point!
Or you show me where they will nto be in heavenSo we'll agree to disagree until you can show me where all those you mentioned will be heaven.
OkUniversalism is the belief everyone will end up in heaven.,
Dear Eternally Grateful,You are wrong in all areas here my friend.
The law was given as a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.
1. It showed how sinful we are - Cursed is the one who does not confirm and obey every word (sin once your out)
2. It showed what must be done to be redeemed, or have your sin atoned for. (animal sacrifice - without the shedding of blood)
3. It was abused, and misunderstood by a group of people into thinking it was by these works one is saved.
As for the serpent. Jesus in his own words shows you are in error
And AS moses lifted up the serpent. SO TO must the son of man be lifted up.
The serpent was the type of Christ. as was the animals being sacrified. as was the high priest. etc etc..
The law showed Christ..
ok, Your calling Jesus a liar.Dear Eternally Grateful,
You are blaspheming the name of Christ by saying that Christ is represented by a serpent. There are zero scriptures which use the spiritual symbol of a serpent to represent Christ.
Dear Eternally Grateful,ok, Your calling Jesus a liar.
And attacking me with slander
Jesus said in John 3. as the serpent was lifted so to must be lifted.
1. The people who loked to the serpent in faith lived.
Whoever looks to christ in faith will live.
John 3: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
I do not know where you get your theology from. But I would seriously seek to find another source.
Until then, I will move on.
You are correct, Moses' serpent is a "Type" for Jesus being Lifted up on the Cross...ok, Your calling Jesus a liar.

You can't help me.Dear Eternally Grateful,
Satan the crooked serpent masquerades as an angel of light (Christ) and has deceived the church. Christ is not a serpent as you see Christ to be.
If you won't receive truth from scripture, there is nothing I can do to help you.
