@rootcausesleuth Anyone who dies in Christ, their soul goes to heaven, immediately. There is a new heaven and a new earth and new bodies to come at sometime in the future. You can read about the latter in Revelation 21.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@Tim_Sandborn21 There will be a New Heaven and Earth and they will be one. Also from Revelation 21: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.”

@rootcausesleuth Because Satan is not only a deceiver, but he is deceived. He doesn’t know everything, and has a huge ego.

@SteveRandom The fact that people gleefully kill unborn children, alone, is evidence enough that we need help figuring it out.

@JCBibleInsights Titus 3:4-6

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@JCBibleInsights The goodness & loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration & renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.

@JCBibleInsights Hey John - I know preterists have that view - but the previous verse: "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory" would mean that Jesus' coming has already occurred - wouldn't it?
BTW, I love agreeable disagreement; we really cam be friendly!

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@JCBibleInsights You have to isolate 22 out of its context (21,23) to get there. The honorable/dishonorable contrast, and the clear contrast between prepared for glory vs. prepared for destruction. That’s not Calvinist, that’s just the text.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@Askwhyisit There is actually plenty of evidence before belief. But it takes a truly open mind to look at the evidence in nature and rightly consider it.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@Askwhyisit @Zippy_Klaus He has plenty of trustworthy representatives. If you’re serious, I would love to help you connect with one of us.

@OperHealAmerica @JoshuaBarzon Amen! And part of being the church is assembling as commanded, do you think we should assemble other than Sunday morning?

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@MikeTheLevel @1984_nate Yes Sir, and I would say that faith was a part of the gift.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@cbankston7 @1984_nate Well...you brought up the grammar aspect...I say the one thing is a clause made up of multiple things. And you?
I understand what you are saying concerning non-Calvinists beliefs, though it would be more accurate to say "some", because not all non-Calvinists believe that.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@MikeTheLevel @1984_nate It is the entire clause which includes each element, grace, faith, salvation, all part of the one thing, all a gift from God.

[Pastor Jim Dorton @Pastor_Jim]

@cbankston7 @1984_nate A cake is an it. It has multiple ingredients. This is not cherry picking. Read it in context of the passage, the book, all the Pauline epistles, the whole Bible for that matter, it plays out the same. Adam, Abraham, Israel, Moses, the 12, who always initiated the relationship?
