But what are your views about the difference between spirit and soul (or whether there is one)? I didn't intend to fork the discussion, but did feel your last quote wasn't quite adequate treatment of the viewpoint I raised. For instance that the "Kingdom of God is within" is mysticism whe...

B.W., A true Christian would never become a Muslim and if they did - then they were never saved, nor had the Holy Spirit. They would violate a spiritual principle found in Matthew 12: 25 Not so. A Christian can lose faith. The strongest Christian (faith-wise) is still able to fall from the faith. W...

A good thread, this is a topic that has had an interest for me in recent years. I was always taught about the soul, and the word "spirit" seemed interchangeable with that, but since then I've started to see a difference, and I would say I'm a "trichotomist". We know we're made i...

Re: Are those who fall from faith still saved?

This question is posed to Jac: I have read in your posts you believe that even if a Christian falls from the faith and becomes, say, Muslim he or she is still saved. Is this correct? If so, why? Wing this is in response to Jac and His comment made about a Christian becoming a Muslim. A true Christi...

Most punishing for many unsuspecting souls would be boredom and the awareness of rejecting God. - IMHO - Whilst burning alive for the rest of eternity, 'boredom' would be the least of your worries....

Re: Reply to lad's post Dec 8, 2005

Thank you for your welcome. Common ground? Let me think on it. First, One of your sentences has confused me. You said God birthed the faith you have so you could believe. Are not the two synonomous? Or are you meaning you were regenerated so that you could believe? I believe it is the latter... The...

I think ultimately though what may be more interesting is to discuss the original topic, the relevancy of hell, from the different perspectives we may bring to the table I imagine there can be some differences in what's meant by "relevancy" and I don't think that's been discussed. * Is a ...

May I ask what you mean when you said "religions that are not correct"? I am assuming you are Christian and believe that your faith is the way to go. But can you honestly say that other beliefs "are not correct"? Yes and with complete confidence: Matthew7: 13-14 "Go in thro...

Re: Pentecostals

is the pentecostal church heresy? I know they reject the trinity, they consider the Trinity and Trinitarians heretical. they also believe baptism of the Holy Spirit necessary for salvation, and evidence of speaking in tounges is absolutely required as well. Why do they restrict watching television ...
