I'm sorry I referenced such a crappy article. It wasn't the article I meant to link. What I really meant to reference was this site: The Divine Council . The articles here are a bit more reasonable. Specifically, though, I was interested in the scene in Job where the Sons of God presented...

I would like to get a Jewish take on what is called the 'Divine Council', as perpetrated in the following article: The Council and the Kabbalah Is their any Jewish thought to this matter?

It is interesting the kind of advertising links one finds on this forum. I just clicked on one for something called Quantum Jumping, which the ad claims is far more profound than astral projection and oobes. It also promises success when one learns the techniques to quantum jumping, offered in a...

[/FONT] I'd be glad to address those. I never said Jesus wasn't the only way or narrow gate. I believe all that will be saved will be saved through Christ. The disagreement is when the Blood of Christ is applied. I contend that the sufficiency of Christ extends beyond the grave, which is why I...

"We were discussing elsewhere truth. What you are indicating is a decidedly Christian truth POV, ask a Jew and he will tell you the truth of exactly how we have misread the Jewish texts. " That's fine. But I'm addressing FS in the fundamental sense. Christ is typed in the OT. In context of our...

Well, yes, I said I spoke rhetorically. Not to get an reaction, but to consider whether there is a difference between Law and Grace. Everything in the OT points to Christ, including the Law. But the Law hasn't passed away (Matthew 5:18). Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law in...

I think it unfair to describe the gamet of Christianity as a collective set of basket cases. You are painting us as emotionally and mentally unhinged when all we are trying to do is follow the God that we believe in. It's much more than carrot and stick theology. It's about understanding how God...

[/FONT] If we are not bound by the Law, then do we need to be worried about sin? (I speak rhetorically) Are we at liberty to live as we will? What does it mean, really, to have liberty in Christ? What kind of alternative do you mean?

"I've also been accused of taking things too seriously"

In light of discussion with FaithfulServant in I’ve become an Evangelistic Universalist thread; I felt it necessary to start another thread to address a specific issue. The purpose of this new thread is to re-examine point-by-point Universal Reconciliation claims that FaithfulServant expressed...

I'm not aware if he compared himself with Moses in his other speeches. Nor do I believe he was struck down for somehow being blaphemous in trying to be Moses. Regardless, I believed MLK considered himself a 'Moses' for his people. Just as Moses led the Israelites out of the slavery, MLK led...

Dream, Saltmeister, Believe me, hell will be anything but boring.

As promise, FaithfulServant, I feel obligated to respond after the weekend, starting with you post #32. [/COLOR] You’ll have to clear this up for me. On one hand you seem to be saying that one must choose Christ, but when it comes to children (and subsequent descendants) they ride in on...

Might I point out that the contents of MLK's last speech had been regularly given in some speeches prior to this one, so it wasn't like he all of a sudden had some miraculous insight on the night before his death. It was a constant refrain that he adopted. As an admirer of Ghandi, perhaps he...

ATTENTION MODERATORS: If it’s all the same to you, and if possible, I’d like all the discussion on Noahides/Noachides in the I've become an Evangelical Universalist thread, be moved to the other thread on Bnai-Noach, beginning with Saltmeister’s post on 28 (the discussion on Noahide in response...

FaithfulServant, I've read you posts, but just so you don't think I'm ignoring you, but it looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend, do I may not respond right away. But I do take seriously what you say and if it will make you happy, I take a complete re-look at this thing and re-evaluate...

While I understand that the athiest/agnostic may not want a relationship with God, he/she does so primarily on the basis of what he/she sees as injustice in the world couple with an apparent lack of evidence for the existence of God. And I can totally understand that. He/she may even be repulsed...

I respect your comments, I read them all a couple of times. I apologize if I came off a bit defensive. I guess I viewed your long post as some kind of retort. I don't expect everyone (or anyone) to agree with me. I was being rather rhetorical when I asked 'what do you think of that?' So when...

FaithfulServant, Thank you so much for your concern. Believe me, I don't take this lightly. Nor do I take God's Word lightly. I am taking this very seriously and even prayerfully, but cautiously, as I indicated. And I really and completely understand your reaction as you are right, I've been...

As an aside, it is interesting in discussing Mark 9:42-48, in the passages describing the unquenching fire and undying worm, that Jesus speaks in verses following (vs 49) about being salted with fire. If these passages are dealing with an eternal hell, why does the damned need to be salted with...
