RE: A Refiner’s Fire
The book of Revelation is different than the letters by Paul, and as I understand it, you follow the doctrine of Paul more than the Gospels and the book of Revelation.
If you notice this particular set of scriptures, it says that every man will be judged according to their WORKS, not their faith as the Apostle Paul implies in some of his letters.
The Gospels are also more in line with the book of Revelation in that it requires us to do what Christ did, and experience what he experienced in order to receive what he received. I could quote scriptures from the Gospels and Revelation that point to this but I think a lot of that text will be discarded or reinterpreted, similar to the way that women having to wear covers on their head was discarded, even though the Apostle Paul made it clear that women must keep their heads covered in public.
Another way to interpret hell and destruction is the fact that nothing physical stays the same - everything is destroyed over time (i.e. thrown in the lake of fire).
- The 5 year old @chrisrice is already gone and in his place is the 33 year old @chrisrice, but it is the same eternal "I am" that witnessed it. The "I am" in us is written in the book of life, but the Chris and William of today is not, we will change form over time, whether or not our bodies actually die.
Sorry to say, but this is silly and not even close to being biblical. As I asked before, if we are going to hijack my blog, please email me and we will discuss. Otherwise we will shift to no reply and prayer for the blindness to lift.
Okay, William.
I'll send you an email... I forgot about it being listed on your profile.
Thank you.
Cool!
I sent a message! :)
Hi William @mhm-philippines,
You have fixed views about reality and the Bible and are focused on those views to such an extent that you lack interest in talking about anything else, even if it is a topic that runs alongside your views or could broaden your perspective.
I don't have fixed views, or at least don't purposely try to fix my views and I am unsure if the ideas I come up with and/or believe are absolutely true, partially true, or in some cases, may not be true at all, but the one thing I am sure of is that "I Am" and I take solace in acknowledging that, that is all I know for sure.
I will unfollow you now since it seems like the right thing to do, otherwise it will appear like I am hijacking your blog. Thank you for your time, I appreciated reading your posts and commenting.
Goodnight :)
