It's too strong a message to view in any other way. Amen, Sis. A.!!!

Amen. Why would people preach something different than what Peter preached? Whatever people think Peter meant, he certainly did not preach false doctrine. We have to preach the way the apostles preached.

Re: On the right hand of God

that is the way I feel about it too...there is a plan and we must follow the plan if everybody that is born will be saved then why would God call me to some of the dangerous places that I have been in? Why would I have to face strong opposition from witchdoctors and have my life threatened time and time again...why would I have to watch them do rituals that are planned to kill christians?

I think some people need to learn the horror experiences that missionaries often face in hostile lands....

I do believe God is a merciful God far more than we can ever imagine...however we must believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and not some stone god somewhere...

I personally have watched people drink blood...dance into trances...beat drums for hours, and things I do not even care to mention...my friend it takes the saving power of Jesus Christ to sit these people free...His blood and his blood alone....

Re: On the right hand of God

I do believe the folks who claim we have sins remitted before we were born also believe we still have to repent. But my issue with them is that Heb 10 says that remission of sins occurs when God writes His laws in our hearts and forgets our iniquities. We did not have God write in our hearts before we were born. Therefore, how could we have sins remitted before we were born?

Re: On the right hand of God

Adino does not believe that everyone is saved. He believes everyone is forgiven of everything except 1 sin.

In fact, I think that is where the biggest argument against his doctrine lies. Adino believes that there is 1 sin that cannot and will not be forgiven through the cross, the sin of unbelief. To me, it seems that in order to deal with the sin of unbelief he must adopt a similiar explanation to Blume's. That is he must explain that the cross only offered the opportunity to be forgiven of the sin of unbelief. So in the end, as interesting as Adino's view is, it still has the same elements of Blume's view and thus almost any criticism that Adino has offered toward Blume's view can be used on his view in relation to the sin of unbelief.

Good point.

Re: On the right hand of God

So, if Jesus is at the right hand of God, does that mean He is beside Himself?

UNLESS he wants to claim that the cross is not the way in which the sin of unbelief is forgiven. But I don't think he will take that route. And if he does then I would simply ask why the cross was needed at all... because if one sin can be forgiven without it then all can be forgiven without it.
