Restoration

[amigo de christo]

Many folks argue over things they dont fully know but let us rather take heed to what JESUS said to his own
desciples when they asked him a certain question .
LORD will you at this Time RESTORE the KINGDOM back to ISRAEL .
And JESUS said its not FOR YOU to KNOW the times nor the seasons the Father has placed in his own power .
PREACH THE GOSPEL . My advice is we better start focusing on THAT and on all sound doctrine by which
the church can grow . WHEN the TIME COMES , THEN WE SHALL KNOW even as we are known .
TILL THEN , TILL JESUS COMES , my advice is focus on biblical truth , that JESUS and all holy doctrine
by which the church shall grow .

 

[St. SteVen]

And, thanks for your kind and encouraging words of great discussion.

My pleasure.
I have a lot of respect, and appreciation, for anyone that has done their homework.
Oftentimes that is MORE important to me than their conclusions.
(I know... I know... "Danger, Will Robinson!")

If I think someone needs to give something more consideration, I will challenge their thinking.
In that situation my favorite reply is is: "What do you make of this?" Followed by a scripture to consider.
Less concerned about convincing than looking at every facet. See Luke 10:26

Anyway, great to have some back and forth with you, brother.
I hope not to infuriate you later. It's my spiritual gift. - LOL

I'd say, don't toss out the WHAT simply because we don't know WHEN.

And, in my case, I don't want to Overlook the who, how, where, and WHY! Amen?

 

[Truth7t7]

Wouldn't that make him a cosmic tyrant?
Jesus told us that the enemy has come to kill and to steal and to DESTROY.
But he came to bring life.

Colossians 1:19-20
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Revelation 19:13-15KJV
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

ha-ha 'LOST in space'

Can't wait for my Departure, WHEN I will be "Be FOUND In space' With JESUS!!!

I would say what JESUS DID . ITS NOT FOR YOU to KNOW
Focus on teaching ALL HIS teachings , focus on sound doctrine . Souls are perishing daily
and churches are falling faster than ever . WE have our own battle which is to contend for the true faith ,
WHILE THERE still be time to do so .

Oh, I see. Bible versus Bible. Is that the game we are playing here? (who wins?)

I see your two and raise you three. (you in?) - LOL

I had a dream the other night that I went to heaven. (that's how I know it was a dream) - LOL
Anyway, they put me to work right away. I was at a BBQ grill flipping burgers. (say what?)
To my amazement Jesus walked up to my grill with his plate. I asked nervously, "How do you like it?"
He looked at me with a slightly puzzled look and replied, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Hope that's not irreverent.

 

[amigo de christo]

Lets not put WORDS into the mouth of Christ .

Contend for "the true faith"?
How are such things measured?
There is no consensus.

Anyway, I don't believe in a forever burning hell. Everyone is already saved. IMHO
That doesn't mean a direct flight to heaven. Religious people will need some fine-tuning.

Matthew 21:31 NIV
... Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.

 

[St. SteVen]

ITS MOCKERY .

A thousand apologies. Please put me on IGNORE. Thanks.

 

[St. SteVen]

Don't you long to hear those words?
"Well done, my good and faithful servant." - Matthew 25:23

ITS MOCKERY .

Get over yourself. Lighten up Francis.

You needed at least five. And you posted one that supports my view instead.

Your deal. 1/0 - LOL

We can agree on that point.

1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

Romans 5:15-16
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

Romans 5:18-19 NIV
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,
so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners,
so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
