So let us discuss it in the link you posted , shall we meet there now ?

Because i would really love to hear from you to know how you can deny the verse being anything but what it says.

If you could be so kind to post the link again i would appreciate it .

So what you're saying is tht I provided you the link, you saw it, decided not to follow it, and you want me to provide it again? Sorry, I'm not playing that game.

Betsey, this is a most bizarre post coming from someone claiming to be a "zealot for Christ".

Why do you say "Jesus loving and kind.... NOT!!!"
Why did you say "NOT!!!" ???
You don't think Jesus is loving and kind?
Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you posted?

And why do you say "no feel good story here.."
??? The Good News (aka the gospel) is not "feel good"??


The gospel of Jesus Christ is most defnitely "FEEL GOOD!"
Why else would it be the "good news"
Why else would it be glad tidings of GREAT JOY?

peace..

It sure is...
Matthew 10 (New International Version)


Matthew 10

34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her motherinlaw—
36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'

But what did Jesus know, eh? He didn't have the advantage of Universalist doctrine.

Romans 8
18For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] -- in hope*,
21that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; 22for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now. (YLT)

*hope=elpis=expectation


Ephesians 1
3Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
7in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself, 10in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth -- in him; (YLT)

God bless.

How does the scripture you just quoted change the message of the gospel , the good news , glad tidings ? .

How does the scripture you quoted change the great joy and peace of the sinner when he firsts believes ?.

Are the scriptures you quoted the message of salvation ?
