I still see no difference between you and a pharasee, what exactly is the difference, can you point this out?
The Pharisee never had a New Testament bible ?

You claim to not believe all the Holy Writ, therefore, you are not Christian. You must accept the scriptures, as God breathed, or else, you are doomed to heresy.
Show me in the Scripture where it says this.You've been asked twice now.Are you not capable?

And you do not really believe this, because your forced to assert that God being who he is and doing what he does will not include you as an instrument of his wrath to the end of eternal doom.

The fact remains that if your exegesis was as sound as you claim, you would be forced to conclude that based on your doctrinal ideologies that you could be one of the damned and God being who he is and doing what he does is not in any way obligated to honor what you do for him now.

If upon realizing this possibility, if your assertions are true and undeniably correct, you will worship God and praise him from the very pit of the Hell you may end up in and that thought would bring you joy and peace.

However, you will deny the tenants of your own teachings by making the false assertion that because you talk about God, the bible, Jesus and study it and make "Claims", that, by default, makes you one of the chosen.


A greater deception within yourself you will not find.

Like i said to you before lifertexan let us be grateful that we are no longer in the dark ages , because you are being put down by the same spirit that burnt heretics at the stake .

Just nail this to his door

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Except your assertion is false. I do profess Christ and have bore fruit proving that you have nothing but empty claims to show.

Christ is why, as imperfect as I am, that I have traveled as far as I have.

Again, you have not shown what about you is different from the pharasees.

You seem to still misunderstand and/or misrepresent UR beliefs.

No. UR (at least most URs I know) do not claim God cannot kill. The scripture is quite clear that God caused the deaths of many.

Quote:
God has killed, destroyed and wiped out the human race except for Noah and his family.
Yes.

Quote:
God's character is more than just love, but is a righteous judge on those who are wicked and deny His Son. He destroyed wicked before, He does again.
Yes. God is a love and righteous and just. These are all in 100% complete harmony. That is why God destroys the wicked by converting them to be righteous. These attributes are not mutually exclusive is you seem to imply.

Quote:
UR picks and chooses what to believe about God.
No. You misrepresent and build a straw man to tear down. UR believes all of the scripture when properly translated, and understands that certain bible translations are misleading on a few key English words like: "hell", "everlasting", "eternal"

Did you read bible-truths.com yet?

For the lurkers out there who want to understand biblical UR, read this (its just the first part in a long series - I recommend reading the whole thing):

L. Ray Smith - The Lake of Fire - Part 1

This site also has a lot of good information:

Not all.
I didn't say anything about "all". Point was that God likened the waters of Noah covering the earth to His wrath against Israel which was for "a moment" so it is incorrect to use the waters of Noah to prove anything about the non salvation of whom they cover. Similarly it is would be incorrect to use Moses not entering the promised land to prove that he is destined for an everlasting hell.

Quote:
You are correct in your assertion. As such will be the destiny for those outside the city gates, and for those who DO NOT walk by His light.
I agree with your statement as it sits. But the gates remain open night and day... that whosoever believeth on him... though he were dead... yet shall he live.

Also, I think you left out the most important kind of death from your list.
  • Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
  • Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
  • John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
  • Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Scripture? I keep asking for scriptures that support this view, but I have not seen one yet.

Wrong...eternal is eternal and hell is hell. UR is built from the doctrines of fallacious understanding of Pagan influence in to the scriptures...otherwise known as the Gnostics.

I am very familiar with L Ray Smith...another misguided individual.
He is flat out wrong and has been exegetically usurped on all levels.

It must be confusing being you.


First you demand this:
