isa 64v6
Rev 12v16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. When I truly got honest about my sinful condition I began to see how I identified more with the earth than the dragons spue. |

Utilyian, Your posts continue to be flawed with the half truths of Satan.. It that why you continue to write-----"What I the devil"---concerning your posts? What you consider as no "punishment" ----the permanent returning to "dust" is the self-chosen "reward" for arrogant defiance. To choose "dust" instead of "Eternal Life" in a Love relationship with the Eternal GOD, is to call The Loving GOD who died for ALL a liar. Matt. 25:46, "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.". The "punishment" is everlasting----no chance of life again. Mal.4:1-3, "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts." Utilyan, evil and wickedness is like the leopard----can't change its spots----nor the Ethiopian his skin. Persons change their evil/wicked ways by choice. Again, a flawed idea on your part. Evil cannot change--by being "good".---just as goodness cannot be wicked. A person can choose to be one or the other, but that which is evil in God's eyes will always be evil. The person can "repent" of his/her evilness and Submit to the Will of the Father. However, that action/entity which the Father has deemed "evil" will always remain such.
Utilyan, God is the Judge and it is by HIS Scriptures given on Sinai and by the prophets to man by which one will be judged. Yes, Jesus did say----Go and tell/Preach the whatsoever I have told you to all nations, but I assure you that It is HIS words which will condemn one---not my telling one of the Mercies and Love of GOD. One can arrogantly/defiantly reject the "Pearl of Great Price" Or exchange all their earthly possessions/plus their life for it. However, for the one who has valued his/her earthly life as greater than that of the "Pearl of Great Price"---will lose not only their earthly life, but the promised "Eternal Life". One doesn't present the "Gift of LIFE" with a Gun nor with force. It is "freely given" and must be freely desired/accepted. At the Same time, one can not continue a commitment with the "mistress of this world" and be loyal to the GOD OF CREATION. Yes, GOD the Father is Long-suffering, "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2Pet.3:9) But the converse is also true, those who arrogantly/defiantly refuse the "wedding garment" will find themselves in the lake of fire.----Truth of the Scriptures-----per GOD.(Rev.20:12-15; Matt.22:9-14) Utilyan, there is no scripture which state that one can obtain Eternal Life by/on their own terms. The conditions for such were expressed from the beginning-----Obey and live. It was Satan who suggested that one could disobey and "Not die". All those(the many) who believe that lie are on the "broad way to destruction."
Peace, Sincerly. As long as sin is practiced, one will search for a means to validate the continuing therein. ANON
The greatest want of the world is the want of men--men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.---- ANON (Ellen G. White. 1882) |
