641 | what color will we all be heaven | 1 Cor 15:51 | Norrie | 18506 | ||
Why would you think we'd be any color other than whatever color you are now? I believe that you won't have any physical infirmities and hopefully look like you did at your best, but I can't prove it. :) | ||||||
642 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | Norrie | 63336 | ||
Abraham tithed to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:18-20) and this was before the law of Moses so tithing is before the Law. | ||||||
643 | I won"t be saved if I don't tithe | 2 Corinthians | Norrie | 63399 | ||
Why are you so against titheing? I've found out from experience those against it usually just don't want to give. Mal 3:10 gives the blessing for those that tithe, I want my blessing. :) | ||||||
644 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82851 | ||
What does anybody know about J. Preston Eby? Doesn't he teach that everyone will go to heaven after judgment and some 'purification' in hell? It'd be interesting what you have to say about his teachings. Here's a link. http://www.godfire.net/eby/ |

645 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82865 | ||
I've never even heard of him but this woman on another group is spreading his doctrines like they are gospel, but it seems to be undermining the gospel to me, that's why I'm asking. I'm trying to find a way to reach her. | ||||||
646 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82869 | ||
We tried but...I was hoping to get some insight that maybe we could reach her with. | ||||||
647 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82900 | ||
She has a hard time reconciling that God will let people stay in Hell forever. She believes that there they will burn until they are refined, then thy will be saved. Unfortunately, the Bible does not teach this. It sounds more like purgatory to me too. | ||||||
648 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82946 | ||
Good point. It makes you wonder when you present things but somebody just doesn't want to see it... | ||||||
649 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82948 | ||
Thanks, but no thanks. You've never heard of him before tho? I haven't until this person kept quoting his junk but she just can't see past him. This is some egroup, SDAs, a Branham follwer and this guy follower, seems none want to be set straight. Why is that??? There are a few would I say regular Christians who try beating their head against the wall trying to explain things but it just seems to be beating your head against the wall. What gets me is they have scriptures, twisted maybe but scriptures... | ||||||
650 | J. Preston Eby? | 2 Cor 11:4 | Norrie | 82973 | ||
Sweetness and light? :) It seems everywhere is that. :) You are right tho, people go to great lengths NOT to accept the plain truth of the Gospel. | ||||||
651 | But aren't they mutually exclusive? | Gal 2:17 | Norrie | 13899 | ||
I guess there's a lot to read here, but is this about the soverign will of God vs the permissive will of God? Is this kinda like God has a plan for our lives, but sometimes we don't follow that plan, so He has plans B, C, D..... | ||||||
652 | But aren't they mutually exclusive? | Gal 2:17 | Norrie | 13934 | ||
I was trying to think of the answer for Bob, but I guess I'll just go for it here, you can both tear me apart. :) I think there is God's will that is predetermined that will come to pass regardless, like the promises and prophecies in the Bible, including Jesus coming to die for out sins and Him coming back again, the laws of nature, physics, etc. He made and unless He steps in and does something, what is predisposed to happen will happen. But then you get to each person's life. God desires each person to be saved and spend eternity in Heaven w/Him. But that doesn't happen all the time. God made a perfect plan for my life, but I did not follow that plan. We are free will creatures, we eventually follow our own plan, sometimes no matter how dedicated we are and try to follow God's plan. God did not have in his plan for me to be a druggie or a boozer or promiscuous or to lie, cheat, steal, etc. but I did it anyway. He may not have intended me to marry whoever I married or He may not have intended me to get a divorce, but He let me do all these things. This is the permissive will of God. He permits you to make wrong choices. These wrong choices then mess up the perfect plan God had for me. But at any time, I can repent and come back to God, then God will take me, whereever I am, and start a new plan for me, it's not His original plan, but it will still work. Then let's say I'm going along good for awhile, but then I mess up, say I get involved w/someone at work and the gang is going out for drinks or I go to a party and get carried away and make a fool of myself, whatever, this is not God's plan for my life, it is my plan, however I can repent and come back and God will make a new plan for my life. Say I ended up in prison, God can still take my life where it is and turn it around to where I'm doing His will. Now that doesn't mean I should go out and do those things and keep expecting God to forgive me all the time, like I'm using Him. That just means I'm human and I have failings and I mess up, sometimes intentionally or unintentionally, maybe I might accidentally get involved w/something I shouldn't, maybe I may make a wrong decision of where to work or where to live or who to marry, but that doesn't mean God planned that for me, I made a dumb decision and in His generousity and goodness will forgive me and start me on a new path. Even if I never accepted Jesus as Savior, it was still God's will for me to be saved and He had a good plan for my life, I just decided to follow my own path instead and God let's us do that. This is what I think is the permissive will of God. Maybe you disagree, but that's what I think anyway. |

653 | But aren't they mutually exclusive? | Gal 2:17 | Norrie | 13972 | ||
If you follow that God planned everything, suppose I went to a party and was either by my choice or slipped some drugs, got wacked out and ended up killing someone while I was under the influence, would this be God's will for me? I think not! That would ne like saying God planned for Hitler to kill all the Jews. God doesn't plan things like that, they happen, He may permit it or just not intervene and let you reap what you sow but He doesn't decide that maybe I need a lesson taught and on the way to my car one night I get raped to teach me a lesson. I just can't see God sitting around planning all these evil things to happen to us, sorry! |

I think God is smart enough to know we might make the wrong decesion, but He doesn't make it for us or "predestin" it. Why would we need a conscience is we we just playing a predetermined script? Doesn't make sense. :) | ||||||
655 | But aren't they mutually exclusive? | Gal 2:17 | Norrie | 13980 | ||
If my drug-induced kill spree was because I was slipped some drugs and acted out of a lack of control, I may noy have sinned technically but I'd still be going to jail. :) I guess these are just things you can debate and not get any where. Maybe when we get to Heaven, God will tell us. :) |

Great post! May I use your opinions in an argument I'm having? | ||||||

658 | Are Christmas and Easter pagan in origin | Gal 4:10 | Norrie | 24392 | ||
I did a search to find an appropriate catagory for this email I got today. Check out url at bottom too. It was outlawed until 1870. Did you know that christmas was actually outlawed in early America? Do you remember the "turning the tide" Revolutionary War victory of General George Washington over the Hessians on christmas eve? Was that some sacrifice? Did they fight for freedom against tyranny on christmas eve? The answer from history, both cultural and militarily, is a resounding NO! There was no "christmas sacrifice" because christmas wasn't celebrated by Americans. They knew the Germans would be ripe pickings because christmas was a German celebration that was celebrated in drunkenness (as is APPROPRIATE if you observe this day). December 25th was celebrated in honor of that evil pagan god long before the birth of The SAVIOUR. The wreath, so much used at Christmas, was used then, too. It was sacred to Bacchus, the god of drunkenness and revelry. Also, the tree, giving of gifts, and mistletoe at this time – the whole works were all part of that worship. Congress was in session 12/25/1789 - - the first christmas under America's new constitution. The New York city council instituted the city's first police force in response to xmas rioting of 1828. christmas wasn't declared a federal holiday until 6/26/1870!
