Subject: True Disciples - eternal importance |
Bible Note: Good points indeed. Here’s an explanation. Because Seeker is new to the forum and has not filed a profile, it has been difficult to determine the real need. We gave priority to the issue of salvation because, frankly, it is the most important, and Seeker seemed to be in doubt of it. But it is clear that his questions are good and should be addressed, and I hope we can do so presently. See a first attempt at the Mark 16 question below. Seeker seems to have one overarching question and several underlying questions. It might be good if he can pose them separately. But again, you make a good point. Those are good questions and they should be answered. I also agree that they should be answered here and not privately. These are not private questions. The answers to each of them can benefit many. |
