No ending? That even unto death you're still saved? That His dying on the cross was in vain but only to a few?
Well dear Betsey the only way i can i answer this question is by how long suffering He is with me the chief of sinners

What do you think patience is Betsey? Humans have a very weak sense of it, usually meaning "I'll be patient until I'm impatient". That is not patience.

God is not like that. God is longsuffering. His mercy never ends, He devises ways to bring the banished back to Himself, and He delights in showing His mercy.

Betsey,

When you repent, do you tell God all the things you have done wrong and all the other things that are worrying you? Do you feel better immediately after doing that, or does it take some time until you receive a sign from him?

I have a question for whoever repped me on this post. How is this post "creating discord?"

Those "pharisee cards"........not going to work with me; I'm not that easily trumped, sorry. I'll stick to the Bible, thank you. I'm here for one reason only; that is to spread the Good News of His soon coming and praying that you see time is winding up, people.

I can't do it. Have someone else tell you what you want to hear, but I won't. My final answer!!

Here's what the WORD OF GOD STATES:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

(1 Timothy 4:1-2)


THAT'S ALL HIM! Amen?

You know what's the saddest part about it is? That it's not one -verses- the other....but it should be what the Bible has to say about it, and that should be the FINAL ANSWER, but lo, it's not so, so we keep reaching out day, after day, after day to bring the Word according to God.

Isn't there some still left that wants to hear the Gospel pure and true anymore? For we desire to tell it this way and no other!

Well, today I'm here to tell you, that's a lie straight from hell,
The very one that's still being told ever since Lucifer fell!

I tell you that all His Words are true
And they're for the great and small.

So I plead with you today my friends
To make Him your ALL & ALL!

For He is the Almighty Judge
And has SPOKEN His decree.......

And that "feel good story" that you so want to hear,
Will not be from me, BETSEY!!

Actually if the ideas that you believe are the truth of the bible, then it really has not deterred you from misrepresenting others beliefs and therefor cannot be taken seriously.
