Rom 1:16 - The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Do you think Paul would have become a homosexual to share the Gospel with them? Would he try to save the whales to reach those people? As a Christian I think I take care of the environment better than most, but I don't have to earn the right to share the Gospel by jumping on the green bandwagon. We are under orders to preach the Gospel and make disciples. See 2 Tim 2:4.

- first for the Jew and then to the Gentile, which means everyone else, even homosexuals. Or do you believe that God hates fags? And to even ask such the question, would Paul become a homosexual, is foolishness. 1 Cor. 10:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might ... Read Morewin those who are without law. Paul understood the liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, (Gal. 2:4) and the responsibility we have to fulfill the law of Christ, which is to love your neighbor as yourself (James 2:8). The law of Christ is demonstrated by helping those caught up in sin, and bearing their burdens (Gal. 6:1-2), which means you might have to actually care about the people you want to "preach at", and the only way to care about people is to be involved in their life, while living under the law of Christ.

In the heart of the fool, he says there is no God. They have all committed abominable works, and therefore not one is good. This is based on a moral orientation, not intelligence. And thus, is your viewpoint on God. They found Egyptian chariots on the bottom of the red/reed sea, so therefore the parting of the red sea is a fact and this would imply... Read More that there is a God and you may ask why if God is a loving God, brings forth all these terrible things in the world. The reason is simple, God gave man free will and if he decides to disobey him, sin will enter in and just as bad things happen to Christians, it's because this world has become ultimately sinful. And… just as something has to be created from nothing, so that a supernatural force has to be behind it, and thus there has to be a God in order to create something out of nothing. This sin, this separation from God, can only be described, as this, for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. And as Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus, so now I say to you, that lest a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. There is two forms of birth in the Christian life (faith), and that is 1) an earthly birth. 2) a spiritual birth, the act of being born again. If he told us earthly things and we do not understand, then how can we understand heavenly things? Just as how I can explain to you that " So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Just as Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:6 when he says “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” So, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God or at all enter into heaven. This would imply, then that during the first resurrection, the saved are raised up incorruptible, immortal, and are given a body that is risen in glory and is glorified by Christ’s image. Then, this makes sense, because just as I heard in a sermon by John Macarthur the rapture is defined by 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4 and John 14, and it’s the church taken up to heaven each time, because in revelation 4 & 5 you’re in heaven, the word church occurs 19 times in revelation 1-3. In revelation 3:10 the bible says “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” In the first event, the rapture, the saved are involved, taken to heaven, and come back later in revelation 19 and reigns with Christ a thousand years in revelation 20. Then, he comes back to be with us at the end. If they survive the tribulation, then they will be here at his second coming, if they are martyred then, of course, they will be with the Lord. There has to be a blessed hope, looking, waiting, longing to be with Christ. In the second coming though, it involves the lost and the saved, but there has to be godly believers that survive the horrors of the tribulation, so that there are sheep that enter into the kingdom of Christ. Then, we are all partakers in the first resurrection, but thank God that he will keep me from the hour of temptation/trying/testing to try them that dwell upon the earth. And you can see more of this on YouTube, just type in Rapture John Macarthur, or John Macarthur Rapture, and just click on it. Here’s the link:

There are two parts to creation. GOD creates everything PERFECT. It BECAME VOID, it wasn't created that way.Lucifer was here to finish creations on earth but he rebelled which caused it to become void. I believe this is where your extictions came into factor. All the evil satan put on earth. Many of the animals that became extinct would have made... Read More earth uninhabitable for man. Satan is greed, conflict, fear, hatred, copetativeness..survivale of the fitest. GOD took it away from Satan and gave that opportunity to Adam and Eve, and they too failed. Earth became so bad again he destroyed it with the flood. We are coming up to his third and final destruction on Earth...How great the world will be when Christ returns...but the majority of earth doesn't see this so they will all have to suffer before that.

I agree, Zachary, God is fully able to create all in one day, had He chosen..so why would 6 be hard to accept?

I disagree with you on God not having a time.

nice to meet you dear ,can you tell me same thing about you?

Amen!
