Pls, look at how eternal fire was used here in the book of Jude, the fire was once with eternal effects. God is everlasting and LORD eternal. Eternal is only used to represent GOD. Jude 1 New International Version (NIV) 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for[ a ] Jesus Christ: 2 Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. The Sin and Doom of Ungodly People 3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b ] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[c ] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. 8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[ d ] 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them. 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. 14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”[ e] 16 These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. A Call to Persevere 17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. [f ] Doxology 24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. |
@op, provided your question is of good motive cos I don't think your post adds up. It is like unto a Man man that boards a car, and offers to pay the fare of everyone in the car. It is to you to accept His offer and your debt paid by Him or reject and pay for it yourself. Hope you understand? |
johnydon22:After reading the free encyclopedia on YHWH, which I consider the greatest assault on Christianity, I did not lose my faith because I being sure there must be God, yet cannot be any of the other religion, I went on a search to know if it true, instead of it being a reason to turn away from Him, it rather became a proof of Him. Just study the tone the wikipedia use as regard YHWH and that which it used in that of Allah. You will notice that of Allah is the normal way Wikipedia discusses, taking from those for and against, but a shift to YHWH and the tone changes, no single opposition was granted and all was against God. Hope you'll read both because I know it is pivotal to your Faith. One then begs to think if it is the same God whose NAME is too holy to be written. I know its off point but will make a good discussion, willing to help you back to Christianity. As for op, I'll copy someone's post and reply as soon as I find it. |
johnydon22:Take a rest, your struggles and worries has been seen by us in Mars, so I was sent to advice you to take a rest. That apart, I've read a lot on Christianity, yet haven't lost my faith. Wonder how you lost yours? Just continue being an atheist, because instead of remaining an atheist after losing your Faith, you instead chose the ignoble route of blasphemy, even the name of the LORD, knowing full well there is no forgiveness. All I have for you is pity. You've turned your brain to the surest way of knowledge, thinking yourself to be very wise, reading articles without reading the counter because it has all YOU wish to know. |

theAtheist101:I still wonder how being an atheist translates to ïnsanity. |

GeneralShepherd:What then have you invented? Sounds like one of our dumb engineers (if indeed you are intelligent enough to cope with education in Nigeria) who knows nothing other than blow grammar and boast about things ordinary illiterate Japanese built. That apart, @op, though I don't dispute existence of evil spirits, we simply have Africanized the Christianity to support our abstract minds, especially the Psalms. A lot of which are not intellectual. This makes me remember the words of St. Paul (pbuh) 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: |

dalaman:Not every man will be given power to heal "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" Different gifts my dear. How am I to know how he did it? That is why he is God. He shewd unto us his power when he healed blind men as an ensample unto us. |
herald9:Thank you. |
dalaman:Jesus healed blind men with ease, doesn't this attest to the power of God? ![]() |
