I have three questions
ranrae:
Hello All,
These following questions were meant for Ray but, I guess he did not have time to answer. Could some one please answer them?
1: When you refer to Jesus, you sometimes call him Jesus Christ. I thought Christ was his title and not his last name. If that were true, Joseph and Mary's last name would be Christ, Right! I call him Jesus the Christ!
2: You say all men will be saved by Christ. I have a study Bible (NASB) and it says in Matthew Ch. 25 verse 41 that Christ tells the wicked to depart from me into the eternal fire I never new you. Also in Malachi Ch.4 verse 1 it says, the fire will leave them neither root nor branch. Doesn't that mean that some people will reject God's love? People use this to validate there so called theories about rejecting Christ.
3: Last. How do I respond to someone when I tell them we are not under the old law of tithing and they say, Oh! I guess we do not have to follow the ten commandments then either do we? I do not know how to respond to that except it is an excuse for ignorance.
God Bless you for the truth!
He Lives! The Alpha And The Omega!

Hello Randy,
Have you read all the material on Rays and Mikes sites? All of your questions will be answered in them. Lots and lots of material, backed by scripture.
Have your bible out when you read, its worth the time.
I see you too are from Ky. Welcome, brother.
God bless,
Gary

rather than just quote shakespeare and say "a Rose by any other name would smell as sweet" i also see that the world itself could not contain the books that might be written about the depth of meaning in Christ.

all the verses must harmonise because the sum of the Word is Truth
so a verse that says
Mat 25:41 Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;
must in no way be seen to contradict
1Co 15:22 For, just as, in the Adam, all die, so, also, in the Christ, shall all be made alive.
and of course an explanation follows
1Co 15:23 But, each, in his own rank:—A firstfruit, Christ, after that, they who are the Christ’s, in his presence,
1Co 15:24 Afterwards, the end—whensoever he delivereth up the kingdom unto his God and Father, whensoever he shall bring to nought all rule and all authority and power;
1Co 15:25 For he must needs reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet:
1Co 15:26 As a last enemy, death, is to be destroyed;
1Co 15:27 For—He put, all things, in subjection under his feet. But, whensoever it shall be said—all things are in subjection!—it is evident that it means,—Except him who did put into subjection, unto him, the all things—
1Co 15:28 But whensoever have been put into subjection, unto him, the all things, then, the Son himself, also shall be put in subjection unto him who put in subjection, unto him, the all things,—that, God, may be, all things in all.
