Exactly the point ... It is speculation/opinion that the bible represents God without err. You can't prove it was not written by "Satan" any more than you can prove it was written by God. I'd say the case for "Satan" might be easier to make.
Nonsense, of course. The writers all said their words came from God. Jesus and the apostles all referred back to the prophets as the word of God.
Neither. John's words translate to "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" Nothing taken away, and no threats added.
Nonsense, of course. The writers all said their words came from God. Jesus and the apostles all referred back to the prophets as the word of God.
So too did David Koresh, Jimmy Bakker, Jimmy Swagart, Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, Joel Olsteen, etc, etc etc.. and each and every one promised salvation based on what god told them.
It has nothing to do with what you think - it means, being lost is only temporary.

It's an active, ongoing result of a previous action.
And in the ongoing result of that action; desires (wants, wills) all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth. The action is indicative. Nowhere is it subjunctive, or that of being contingent or probable, nor imperative on the subjects response. Neither is it Optative, as in being unlikely or wishful thinking that mankind might come to this salvation and knowledge.
... And about two-hundred other verses:
My guess is that you should investigate that which will be destroyed; it's not the man himself.
And there is no such thing as eternal torment - that's a teaching which will be eliminated.
How could you have be lost from God when he is in all things? The truth is we have lost sight of where God is. He's not hiding up in skies because he can't associate with folk who live according to self because they have lost the reality of God and their true self.
It's time to put death these ignorant savage beliefs that God needed appeased and that he distanced himself from us until he's been appeased.
