My sincere apologies. I got so engrossed and long winded that I overlooked the most important portion of your post. My response to your question will follow shortly. George |

Actually Schmythe, I am often a phonetic speller. I may spell it like it sounds; I may even hit a wrong key and overlook it when I proof read. The truth of the matter is that perhaps my spell checker (which I don't always use,) which happens to be man made is less than perfect; for it still finds no misspellings in the post you responded to. I do believe that, (Lord willing,) I manage to get my point across in an biblical and legible manor. It would take me a week to point out all the typo's I've overlooooked in this thread alone. But rather, I prefer to try to see around my "mote," and in my ignorant way, do my best to help those who will hopefully one day help others find their way to He who, I hope is the Ultimate goal of all who read my imperfect words. I often copy and paste as well. I do not make any attempt of corrections therein. Thank you for your kind and uplifting words. I pray that if you ever read anything from my hand that you consider out of line with the Holy Bible, you will challenge me to provide a scriptural foundation for what I have worded. Who knows, we may both learn something. I will be the first to admit ignorance when confronted by truth. As far as I am concerned, “If it can’t be backed with scripture, it’s only opinion.” Some are interesting. Some aren’t worth the paper they are written on. At the risk of sounding BLUNT; I ask no forgiveness, but I could care less about yours or anyone else’s opinion when it comes to the word of God. Where the Word is concerned, I try not to form opinions. I do however have theories where my biblical studies are lacking, but at the risk of flaunting my ignorance, I prefer to keep my mouth shut till I am sure of my theory. Per Webster Opinion: a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter Theory: the analysis of a set of facts in their relation to one another. Thanks And God Bless George |

Yea, but (how) have you come to this conclusion? Can you back it up with scripture? If not, you may be right, but you could also be wrong. Are you just throwing the dice, or playing with a full house. What if there is a Flush out there? Actually searching333, you have hit the nail on the head. What I am trying to say is; don't trust others to provide (all) your spiritusl nourishment. You could eventually wind up with a bellie ache if you do. Tilling and planting ones own garden is a very rewarding experience. The harvest is so much more desirable than anything anyone else can provide. the more you do it, the better you become. In Love in Christ George |

The dead in Christ shall rise first. Anyone claiming any other gospel is a false prophit. However... This has nothing to do with your original question, which was: "According to the Bible, the penality for sin is death.Therefore, every human being must die! Did God make an exception for Elijah to escape death? Your comments, please." --- If you are seriously asking a question, I have given you the biblical answer, which was; "Death of the body is not what this scripture refers to. If it were, once you died, the penalty for your sins would be paid. The death the scripture refers to here is "Eternal Damnation in the lake of fire." If I am not badly mistaken, this is also referred to as the second death." --- What you have just stated was totally out of context with your original question. Since it has already been answered, any further discussion on this particular question would be senseless. God Bless George |

Was it Ignorance, or stupidity on my part? Am I confused, or perhaps careless? Perhaps a little of each. What do you think? I just realized what you were refering to. George |

A M E N!!! Oh, that we were all of such a Spirit as this. I challenge ALL who read this post to exort one another to humility. Particularily me, for I am cursed with a lack of the same. I thank God, for he has enabled me to control my spirit of immaturity in humility herein. PLEASE. Let's all pray for such a STRONG SPIRIT of HUMILITY, wisdom and discernment on this sight that it will attract all who stumbel hereon. In JESUS' Name Amen George |

Schmythe I tend to agree with the latter portion of your post rather than the first. As you said. We can only speculate as to the witness, HOWEVER, "ALL HAVE SINED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OG GOD." this blows your first thought out of the water. Our Savior was "without blemish;" PERFECT. As was posted in not so many words in this thread earlier (I think it was EdB. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong,) Who is to say that that Enoch and Elijah's deaths weren't simply delayed? As, the Lord had more for those two (nearly perfect) saints to complete. George |

228 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89772 | ||
You are correct. "Hell was not originally created for man." So says the word. It was intended for Satan and his rebellious angelic followers. Which would you consider worse; a rebellious angel, or an individual who continues to rebell by not accepting the word of the King, (and, or) the fact that He sent his ONLY Son to pay the price for our evil deeds? We are all siners! Anyone who says he is not, is a LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM! He only decieves himself. We are saved by the GRACE of God, and that is by nothing we have in any way earned. For ALL HAVE SINED AND COME SHORT OF THR GLORY OF GOD. In this complicated environment in which we live, some simply can not comprehend the utter simplicity of salvation. What difference does it make what one believes? NONE!!!! As long as one believes in what I just stated; knows and admits in his heart that he is desirving of death and eternal damnation and confess', and asks for forgiveness; he or she "IS SAVED." However, as some would have you to think, this is not all there is to it .... Christian life is not as easy as one might hope. It was never said that it would be. It was said though that the old man would be passed away and all things would become new. "BY THE RENEWING OF THE MIND." This is not something that just happens! One must Live the Life once saved. Read Pauls letter to the Galations. Then read it a second time. It's a short book. He had preached the Gospel to them, but there were those who wanted to add to that Gospel. Find out what he said about those who wanted to add to what he had said. George |

In most cases, this one included, I would have to say that," often he who it (hurts) the most, feels the guiltiest, or (understands) the least, yells the loudest." George |

And there are those of which wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face. Others whose time is not yet. This is no cause for disagreement. I see no mystery in what was said. My response was biblically correct. If it is not ones time, let him disagree. That does not make it untrue. George |

Searching333, Keep on Searching. You are Gods Word proven and come to life. Ask and ye SHALL recieve, "Seek and ye SHALL FIND." I learned early in life that the only dumb question is the one that was not asked. To date, I don't get all my answers either. I often have to simply "go on faith." And, that AIN'T ALWAYS SO SIMPLE. Yet it IS so simple! I complicate my life by not accepting that simple fact... I once read that "if understanding came b4 acceptance, there would be very little that we would accept." Ponder that. Once one has accepted that fact, he has entered the doorway to wisdom and understanding. It is funny though, that if my question is a sincere one, eventually the Lord gives me the answer. Sometimes it's the next time I turn on the radio. Others it is through hard work and study, which gives me a hollow satisfaction, still it is satisfaction. I am most satisfied when He "proves" to me that He knows and provides for me. Am I silly, foolish, lazy, or just just overjoyed that He has even the slightest interest in one such as myself??? I pondered your question in the form of "pre-destination" for 30 years or more. I only reciently ran across the answer. And I wasn't even looking for it! God bless George |

4givin, That is a GOOD thought. Something to ponder. If you are familiar with the "Left Behind" series, (which I think is biblically based and written by a Blessed author, Tim LaHaye," I may be wrong, but I think Tim may have depicted your thought therein. George |

234 | "fear of finding truth"? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89655 | ||
Ok. I hadn't thought of it that way. And I hadn't read between Eds lines (at least, that's the phrase I like use.) Sort of puts me in mind of the term "Scaired Stupid." Why do such words as stupid and ignorant always put people, even Christians on the defense? Even when such words aren't directed at them? Ignorance is not an excuse, but who is not ignorant to one degree or another concerning one or another matter? Stupidity is a different story though. In my humble opinion, it is one who was born with the handicap or simply loves ignorance. George |

OK... LORD HAVE MERCY! Including my responces to the responders. I have counted 42 responses to my original question. Has anyone noticed that in the end, each of us have said the same thing. Even though we may not realize or admit it? Lets all agree to disagree. In the end, we all seem to agree anyway. I think this thread has come to the end of it's usefulness. Unless I have misread something somewhere, to the person we have all said the same things, only in diverse ways... George |

Ed I'm a Household Appliance repair Techcition by trade. I have had a business of my own in the Lakeland - Plant City area for nearly 10 years now. I am in the process of closing my business currently and have prospects of servicing the Tampa Bay Area again. With the irons I currently have in the fire, I'm not sure what I will do. Look me up in the phone book. My business is listed under "Appliances" as Professional Appliance Repair in PC and Lkl. I don't have a Tampa add currently, (The costs are devistating,) but I do have big adds in Plant City and Lakeland. Thechically I live in H'boro County, but I have a Polk Co address cuz I'm in an ares that was originally addressed in Polk even though it is in H'bo. If you get my ans mach, leave a msg and I will return your call as promptly as possiable. It's odd but somehow I felt that you were in my area, in more than one aspect. George |

Don't stop! Preach it, Pastor! Keep it coming. Don't sotp now that you're just getting some traction! Say something about what God hates; something about the proud; something about the meaning of true faith and how to get it... George |

240 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89523 | ||
He wasn't attacking you. He was discribing "Man" in general. All the answers ARE in The book. If one sincerely desires them, they will find them. If one is looking for what they will accept as an answer, they will likely not find it. George |
