The other being that we were created in his image, that He breathed life into us with his spirit. Love. Free will is a very important part of everything we are. We first have to run back to the basics, so to speak, and really think about what our soul purpose of being here on earth really is. What was God thinking? I believe, and there are many verses in the good book that would back it up, that God created us, so that we may love him with even a moment of his love. See, God the creator, Love, wanted to create for himself His children. Which in all reality, we are. Now, by giving us free will than he would be able to enjoy our love to a full measure, and that could only be achieved by surrendering over completely, leaving it all up to us. Now it is obvious that there are some people who choose not to love God. Some doubt his exhistance entirely, (yet they still continue to live there life with love at every turn...go figure)and think they've got it all figured out. The reality is that God is in each of us...that much has been made very clear. So what in ALL of us is the same. I mean everyone. Our love. Now God has given us that freely, he has poured it over everything he created. Then He steps back a bit, still watching, still hoping we make the right decisions, but he doesn't make them for us. He cannot violate our free will. We all have the ability to choose Him or refuse Him. It is so great that you 'choose' Him, but everyone must understand there are still many wandering in the dark of this world because they have not 'chosen' to walk with the light. We have to tell them the truth about God and Love, and about free will. Because life just doesn't make sense, and it ends up being just one big 'what are we here for' question all the time...and the truth is, it's easy. He wants to feel the love he has given each of us, in return. Our challenge? To also love others, but none greater than God. That includes our enemies, and I'm not talking about the "fuzzy" love. That would just be silly of God to ask that of us. Our intimate encounters with certain loves are only meant for one other, we have got to get ahold of it and realize that by really grasping that we are ALL God's children we are all made the same by our love, we can start loving that part about that human being. We can choose to look past all their faults, realizing that really that's all God job anyways. I know what my job is! I love Him! Hallelujah. God Bless. ;) I hope to hear back from you!

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while<BR/>we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, because we have<BR/>now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from<BR/>God's wrath. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God<BR/>through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled,<BR/>will we be saved by his life?<BR/><BR/>Note that a summary of these verses could be the following: <BR/>While we were helpless ungodly sinners who were His enemies, Christ died<BR/>for us, declared us righteous by his blood, will save us from God’s wrath,<BR/>and reconciled us to God through His death.<BR/><BR/>Helpless ungodly sinners who were enemies of God and Christ may be words<BR/>written to those of Rome who were currently believers, but here Paul is<BR/>obviously referencing their status with God prior to their becoming<BR/>believers. Therefore the being reconciled to God and declared righteous<BR/>occurred prior to belief since these descriptions are hardly of believers.<BR/><BR/>At the foot of the cross were many helpless ungodly sinners who were the<BR/>enemies of Jesus, yet He said, “Father forgive them for they don’t know<BR/>what they are doing”. I believe the Father was in agreement with this<BR/>prayer of Jesus and so their sins were or will be forgiven on the merits of<BR/>Jesus alone. Mankind was declared righteous, or justified on that day. <BR/>Paul reinforces the fact of being declared righteous was for all mankind a<BR/>few verses later in Rom 5:18, “Consequently, just as one offense resulted<BR/>in condemnation for everyone, so one act of righteousness results in<BR/>justification and life for everyone.”<BR/><BR/>SUB-ASSERTION #2<BR/><BR/>NO “PUNISHMENT”, “DESTRUCTION”, “PERISHING”, “LOSTNESS” IS ETERNAL; RATHER<BR/>GOD’S “PUNISHMENTS” OR “DESTRUCTION” ARE CORRECTIVE IN NATURE<BR/><BR/> Now, we do need His discipline to make us fit for His kingdom. This<BR/>discipline will not be “eternal”, but it will be “aeonian or eonian”, the<BR/>English equivalents of the Greek “aionios”. “Aeonian” punishment as<BR/>referred to in Mt. 25:46, one of the proof texts for those who hold to the<BR/>heresy of the eternal torment of non-believers, is the type of correction<BR/>that God will administer to the unbeliever. The noun being modified by<BR/>aeonian is the word punishment, which is the Greek “kolasis” which has been<BR/>used in reference to “pruning” a plant for the purpose of better<BR/>production. “Kolasis” punishment is the corrective type, whereas, “timoria”<BR/>punishment is the retributive type. The “aeonian” life in Mt. 25:46 is the<BR/>life given to the believer by God beginning at the point of belief. This<BR/>is that life we enjoy as believers which blesses us now as we deal with<BR/>this physical life and also blesses us with the promise of immortality and<BR/>therefore everlasting communion with our Father.<BR/><BR/>Aeonian destruction as referenced in 2 Thess. 1:7-9, “…who will be punished<BR/>with aeonian destruction from the presence of the Lord,…”, is the kind of<BR/>destruction necessary for God to administer for the fulfillment of His<BR/>purposes. Destruction is equivalent to death in that it is “from the<BR/>presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power”. Jesus was<BR/>“destroyed” at the cross, but as in His case, so with all cases of<BR/>destruction or death, there is no sense of “eternal” associated with them<BR/>as Jesus rose to life and “the last enemy to be eliminated will be death”.<BR/><BR/>The “lost” sheep, coin, and son of Luke 15 referred to a condition that did<BR/>not last forever. The word “lost” is the translation of the Greek<BR/>“apollumi”, from which we have the translations lose, lost, perish,<BR/>destroy, etc. As we can see in Luke 15, the sheep, coin, and son were only<BR/>“lost” until they were found. This harmonizes with the fact that Jesus<BR/>said He came to “seek and save the lost”.<BR/><BR/>Note that the following verse tells us that there is a special benefit for<BR/>becoming a believer now, but that God will save all of the “lost”<BR/>unbelievers also. 1Tim 4:10 “For to this end we toil and strive, because<BR/>we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men,<BR/>especially of those who believe.” The Greek word that got translated<BR/>“especially” here is “malista”. Checking its usage in other verses makes<BR/>it clear that especially is a good choice for English since it does refer<BR/>to extra special attention to something, but not to the exclusion of other<BR/>items mentioned in the context.<BR/><BR/>The Hebrew word “olam” has as its Greek equivalents “aion” and “aionios” in<BR/>the Septuagint. An analysis of the approximately 440 occurrences of olam<BR/>in the Old Testament suggests that it means a period of time without the<BR/>end in sight but not necessarily “eternal”, or “everlasting” or “forever”,<BR/>if it should ever be. Olam was only 3 days in the case of Jonah’s duration<BR/>in the fish, even though the “traditional” translation has been “forever”. <BR/>Also, the length of time a person would be the slave has been referred to<BR/>as “forever”, which we know is literally only for their physical lifetime. <BR/>Some versions never use eternal, everlasting, or forever for olam. Have<BR/>you noticed some versions use the phrase “forever and ever”. Have you ever<BR/>given thought to the absurdity of adding the words “and ever” after you<BR/>have already said forever? What’s more than forever? That’s like saying<BR/>something lasts for an eternity and then for another eternity. The<BR/>absurdity of this should add to our awareness of the bias of those<BR/>translators who consistently translate olam, aion, and aionios as eternal,<BR/>everlasting, forever, or the absurd “forever and ever” phrase.<BR/><BR/>An analysis of the word “hell” is quite revealing. Jesus used the word<BR/>“geena” or “hades” and tradition (KJV, Catholic church, etc.) has had the<BR/>ignorant audacity to use this Anglo-Saxon word “hell”, which means<BR/>“unseen” (a-des), corresponding to the Hebrew “sheol” and attach to it a<BR/>meaning out of pagan mythology of a place of eternal torment. Dr. Thomas<BR/>Thayer in his book “The Origin and History of the Doctrine of Endless<BR/>Punishment” traces this myth of eternal torment that became associated with<BR/>the word hell to ancient Egypt. Geena (sometimes Gehenna) was the Valley<BR/>of Hinnom which became a garbage dump on the outskirts of Jerusalem where<BR/>carcasses of criminals were burned which Jesus metaphorically referenced as<BR/>a future potential punishment with no sense of “eternal” punishment<BR/>inherent in its meaning. This refers to aeonian punishment which again is<BR/>God’s corrective punishment. Gehenna should have been left untranslated<BR/>because it is a geographical location that the Jews of Jesus’ audience knew<BR/>exactly what he was referring to. Hades should have also been left<BR/>untranslated or translated as “unseen” or “the grave” as some versions do,<BR/>as Hades definitely has no inherent punishment connotation. There are a<BR/>number of versions that don’t use the word “hell” even once, realizing the<BR/>bad rap the word has gotten with the erroneous connotation.<BR/><BR/>SUB-ASSERTION #3<BR/><BR/>ALL HUMANITY WILL COME TO BELIEVE IN GOD AND WILL WORSHIP HIM SOONER OR<BR/>LATER<BR/><BR/>The following are 5 witnesses (scriptures) from 4 of God’s servants: DAVID,<BR/>ISAIAH, PAUL, and JOHN.<BR/><BR/>NOTE: Nowhere in the Word do we have any evidence that one must come to<BR/>belief in this lifetime, which is another myth of man; contrariwise, we<BR/>have much evidence in the following verses and many others that some will<BR/>only come to belief after their physical death. At this point some might<BR/>think of the Rich Man and Lazarus parable, Matt. 13:34. Parables must be discerned<BR/>spiritually as they are not to be taken literally since they are fictional<BR/>stories to convey a spiritual message. Consider this, Rich Man = Jews and<BR/>Lazarus = Gentiles and the spiritual message is that the Jews will be<BR/>disciplined for their attitude toward and treatment of the Gentiles.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that belief is granted by God in His time not in man’s. God<BR/>grants belief to some in this lifetime and others after their physical<BR/>death. The myth that one must come to belief in this lifetime is something<BR/>man dreamed up or more than likely got from the pagans and added to his<BR/>traditions, but God’s word does not speak of it.<BR/><BR/>John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him;<BR/>and I will raise him up at the last day.”<BR/><BR/>Phi 1:29 “For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you<BR/>should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,”<BR/><BR/>THE MASTER PLAN OF THE MASTER COULD BE SUMMED UP IN A COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY<BR/>OF HIS WORD AS FOLLOWS AS ATTESTED BY MANY WITNESSES.<BR/><BR/>“ALL IS OUT OF ME AND ALL WILL COME BACK TO ME.” --- GOD<BR/><BR/>Rom 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him<BR/>be glory forever. Amen. <BR/>1Co 15:28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will<BR/>also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that<BR/>God may be all in all. <BR/><BR/>GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL = GOD WILL BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE<BR/><BR/>OUR SPIRIT CAME OUT OF GOD AND WILL RETURN TO GOD<BR/><BR/>DAVID was inspired to write:<BR/><BR/>Psalms 22:27-28 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the<BR/>LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For<BR/>the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations<BR/><BR/>ISAIAH was inspired to write:<BR/><BR/>Isa 45:23 By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in<BR/>righteousness a word that shall not return: 'To me every knee shall bow,<BR/>every tongue shall swear allegiance.' <BR/>Isa 45:24 "Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and<BR/>strength; to him shall come and be ashamed all who were incensed against<BR/>him. <BR/><BR/>PAUL was inspired to write:<BR/><BR/>Phi 2:10-11 “…so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow<BR/>— in heaven and on earth and under the earth — and every tongue confess<BR/>that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.”<BR/><BR/>Rom 14:11 For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will<BR/>bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God."<BR/><BR/>JOHN was inspired to record:<BR/><BR/>Rev 5:13 “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the<BR/>earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on<BR/>the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might<BR/>forever and ever!" <BR/><BR/>SINCE AFTER A CERTAIN TIME DEATH WILL CEASE TO BE, LEAVING ONLY LIFE AND<BR/>HENCE NO MORE SEPARATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, ALL OF THESE WITNESSES CAN<BR/>TESTIFY TO THE SAME THING:<BR/><BR/>NOTE: The feeble attempt to downplay this worshipping, bowing, and<BR/>confessing as somehow “forced”, is born out of bias for eternal torment. <BR/>Note particularly in Phil. 2:11 the phrase “to the glory of God the<BR/>Father”. It is obviously not giving God glory to say Jesus is Lord without<BR/>meaning it and you might also recall what Paul said about saying that Jesus<BR/>is Lord, that “…no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.”<BR/>(1 Cor. 12:3b)<BR/><BR/>EVERY CREATED BEING WILL SOME DAY PRAISE AND GLORIFY GODAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137285848780713485.post-80271640703228697592008-08-21T08:27:00.000-07:002008-08-21T08:27:00.000-07:00Did you know that the Live Earth concert to "save ...Did you know that the Live Earth concert to "save the planet" released more Co2 into the atmosphere than every SUV in America?<BR/><BR/>Or that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs - and that environmentalists, who are overwhelmingly "pro-choice," have helped cover it up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137285848780713485.post-24145145611011622032008-01-16T10:51:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:51:00.000-08:00Hey Brother Mark,This is Brother Carlos Rodriguez ...Hey Brother Mark,<BR/>This is Brother Carlos Rodriguez from Godsquad.
