In a sense yes that's what I'm talking about. He's coming from edom and Bozra after killing and enialating ruthlessly the enemies of His people.

Think about it.<BR/><BR/>You said "How can God made a place perfect (heaven) and still give us free will?"<BR/>Yes I think so. Remember I believe Heaven is the dedeemed "here" I don't think we'll be a different as we usually think. I'll have my same passions and interests. I will be able to choose through out my day I simply will be a redeemed me. me without the struggle of sin.

Justify your answer with at least one verse fro...1. Justify your answer with at least one verse from each book of the Bible to make sure you answer is Biblically correct. <BR/><BR/>ha ha funny. I think I'll give you a shorter answer... deal with it. A christian life is one seeking to become like Jesus. Taking His teachings seriousely. <BR/><BR/>2.Is the Messiah that you are talking about: “I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing. For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redemption has come.” –Isaiah 63:3-4 <BR/><BR/>Well I'm honestly not that familiar with the cultural context of this verse but my unprepared answer would be that this verse is simply a way of "showing something" it's to make a point so to speak. so yes this is that messiah. Jesus. one who will be victorious over His enemies. <BR/><BR/>3. well the covenant made in moses was broken. God promised a marriage covenant that would not be broken. see ezeliel 16:60 (the whole chapter is amazing)<BR/><BR/>4. How can a kingdom be perfect? Isn’t a kingdom always kept at bay by either a dictatorship or politics? How will Jesus do away with this in heaven? <BR/><BR/>Think a little Danny... you're just bugging me on this one. the Ultimate and ideal kingdom would be one of peace, power, everlasting, unconquerable, without poor people or sick people. These concepts are idealy where the whole idea of a kingdom comes from. That's the Kingdom I'm talking about.<BR/><BR/>5. I don't believe that believing the scripture is true is the end all about heaven and hell. It's much deeper than an "intellectual ascent to Christ" <BR/><BR/>6. Then refute John 12:48<BR/><BR/>No. I can't refute it. I believe it's true. I just don't see it as a "You're all gonna burn in Hell" speach. He's speaking truth in compassion here. I think.<BR/><BR/>7. I mean living out His mission of redemtion. we are "sons of light" we must walk in the light. take on Christs purpose. see John 12:36.wellis68https://www.blogger.com/profile/06087588494600746854noreply@blogger.com
