Anything that long ago, they reason, surely has been embellished and become more fable than fact. They are happy to “believe” in the fable of the Gospel for the sake of emotional comfort, but they will not believe in the fact of the Gospel for the sake of their eternal life.<br /><br />One wonders: If the Gospel events happened today in their presence—if they had, like Thomas, touched Jesus’ nail-scarred hands—would they believe? If so, why does the passage of time change anything? If the historical veracity of the biblical accounts has been established (and it has, beyond reasonable doubt) then one can have as much confidence believing without seeing as those who saw and believed.<br /><br />“Jesus said to [Thomas], ‘Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” (John 20:29). If you believe Jesus, you have eternal life. If you do not believe, you are choosing not to have eternal life. <br /><br /><em>"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."<br /></em><strong>John 3:36 </strong>JesusFirstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-50544299111023033182010-10-30T11:41:03.000-04:002010-10-30T11:41:03.000-04:00"Elmer Gantry" in a satirical novel abou..."Elmer Gantry" in a satirical novel about a false porphet who found that his games led to misery.

Violence and bloodshed fill the new. Today’s political debates spotlight the deep and bitter divisions in a society that often seems to be coming apart at the seams. How do we explain so much chaos? Is there any hope for peace in our time? David Jeremiah’s dramatic narrative on the Book of Revelation answers these challenging questions, for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see what the Spirit of God declares in the Bible.JesusFirstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-13293149576374161262010-10-29T17:23:55.000-04:002010-10-29T17:23:55.000-04:00God the father is not a tyrant.

If you refuse the only acceptable sacrifice for your sins (jesus) then you choose to go to Hell.<br /><br />If you accept his son Jesus as the sacrifice, then you will be saved. simple as that.<br /><br />You can "spite such entity" if you like, that is your free will. Whatever the reasons why you reject Jesus Christ, that rejection has disastrous eternal consequences. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” than the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12), and those who reject Him, for whatever reason, face an eternity in the “outer darkness” of hell where there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).<br /><br />why wait? accept HIM today, before it is too late.JesusFirstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-85897261764777538612010-10-29T16:51:17.000-04:002010-10-29T16:51:17.000-04:00<span>Duality of the Bible?

[54] When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."

It is conveying the idea that Satan rules over the unbelieving world in a specific way. In the case of <a href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/2%20Corinthians%204.4" rel="nofollow">2 Corinthians 4:4</a>, the unbeliever follows Satan's agenda. According to <a href="http://biblia.com/bible/niv/2%20Corinthians%204.4" rel="nofollow">2 Corinthians 4:4</a>, the "god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ." Satan's agenda includes pushing a false philosophy onto the unbelieving world—a false philosophy that blinds the unbeliever from the truth of the Gospel. Satan’s philosophies are the fortresses in which people are imprisoned, needing to be set free and brought captive to Christ in obedience to the truth.JesusFirstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-90228138309873579522010-10-29T14:34:03.000-04:002010-10-29T14:34:03.000-04:00Yes.
