I was just wondering what differences you understand there to be between "correction" and "punishment". As I see it, one can be just as painful as the other. In studying the various views of punishment, we find that "correction" is one of three main views of "punishment". It is called "the reformat...

Todd, please describe the people who will have immortality but not eternal life. Describe their future after their resurrection. Paidion, maybe "eternal" life is a state of existence in which we know God as opposed to not knowing God as Jesus said. If this is true then we can lose "eternal" life by...

It's interesting Homer that a truly evil person can on their deathbed confess Jesus as their Lord and spend eternity in heaven with apparently no punishment ever for this person yet this scenerio does'nt trouble you. The efficacy of the atonement of our Lord knows no limits Yes Homer and this truth...

The problem for the Universalist is that they can not show that any punishment at all will be needed to bring about a confession of Jesus as Lord Homer, One important factor that i think we all just forget about is that according to Paul , the devil BLINDS the minds of unbelievers.

You may have the following passage in mind: And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is ...

but I know some "good Catholic" folks who are "enslaved" to the RC doctrines who have a heartfelt commitment to Christ and His kingdom. I have a hard time not believing they are "saved." (Consider our new friend, Tom, for example from what I can gather from his radio appearances). They sure show th...

Pierac, Many people don't believe in the trinity since it's difficult to comprehend and not clearly stated. I do think the trinity is true in that everything originates from the One God yet Jesus is the WORD of God and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God yet their divinity comes from the Source or ...

Does Justification mean justification into salvation, or is it simply you are justified into the covenant ofGod with Israel aka the Church?Jim I think the covenant with Israel aka the church is in fact the New Covenant from which salvation is the most important aspect. So justification means we are...
