Several years ago I co-founded this ministry on Facebook. I left last year after 7 wonderful years of blessed ministry and testimony. If you appreciate NDEs (as I do) and you love the Lord (as I do!) AND you’re on Facebook maybe check them out.

Man, that has got to be a heavy burden. None of us could make it without Christ. He makes everything right, good, and new.
Life is a vale of tears, and someday he’ll wipe them ALL away.
Sending up prayers.

“Even after all this time, I still believe the purest, most distilled form of Christianity is Calvinism. You may rage now”
Can’t be that much time if you’re a Zoomer.
If you stay in too long you’ll eventually leave Calvinism for atheism. It’s a tragic consequence of Calvinism

The most unloving thing you could do to the LGBT person is to condemn them. Love them as Christ loved all sinners (which is everyone). And no, I’m not talking about pious Pharisaical faux love. Their hearts will change by seeing the Christ in you, not the Pharisee.
A few months before his death from cancer, Bob Marley was baptised in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and took the name Berhane Selassie (which means "The Light of the Holy Trinity" in Amharic). According to his Christian mother, Cedella, his final words were, "Jesus, take me."
Love *NEVER fails
*οὐδέποτε (oudepote): never; not even at any time, never at all.
One of the most profound truths ever uttered and it’s literally lost on most of Christianity.
‘Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.’
-George MacDonald
Let the Pharisees fight over their love of God’s torture chamber
you however, bring the good news of Gods infinite love and saving grace for His whole creation
@WretchedNetwork
Those who think they are being Christian say these sorts of things:
“If you are no longer a Christian, it is because you were never a Christian in the first place.”
@cuatronelson
Correct, these are 7 truths about hell (if hell existed). However, since hell is not found anywhere in the Scriptures, threat neutralized.
@JamesMelville
“The vast majority of people marching for a ceasefire in Gaza are compassionate and peaceful people who just want the bombing and atrocities to stop.”
You know what really grinds my gears?
Christians, and there are way too many of them, who flippantly label others as “heretics”.
The only heretics are the ones who condemn others as heretics. It’s the height of self righteousness to think of oneself as scripturally omniscient.
God does not punish [τιμωρεῖτα] – since punishment is the retribution of evil with further evil – but corrects [κολάζει] for the sake of those who are corrected, both in general and singularly." (Strom. 7.16.102.1-3)
-Clement of Alexandria
👉‘I pass judgment on no one.’
-Jesus (J8:15)
👉‘for the Father does not judge anyone, but has given the judgment of all to the Son’
-Jesus (J5:22)
👉’And THIS is the judgment: that the LIGHT has come into the cosmos’
-Jesus (J3:19)
👉Christ (Love) is the Father’s judgment!
God is timelessness.
God is the singularity.
One heart poured out forever.
Goodness without beginning or end.
Love that can never fail.
Mercy, peace, and absolute grace unbound.
All of these given to each person ever created.
God truly, madly, deeply loves YOU.
The god of Calvinism actually created some humans to hate with eternal wrath and to condemn to eternal conscious torment (or annihilation). All done before they were ever born. They are without hope, like the child about to be aborted in her mother’s womb.
@brandonmscalf
Yikes. If they followed your Calvinist theology they would eventually, tragically, turn to atheism. I’m sorry friend, but Calvinism is not the gospel.
“God is merciful, but He is also just”
NO. Stop right there.
There is no “but, He is also” anything.
God isn’t schizophrenic like men; one minute merciful & the next ruthlessly “just”. ‘His mercies NEVER end’ is not a passing bromide that’s commingled with unbridled wrath.
If you’re a Christian who does not believe that Christ has reconciled all of creation to Himself then all you’re doing is fighting with others over who believes in eternal torment more than the other guy.
Eternal hell worship is alive and well in Christianity.
ALL arguments against apokatastasis are defenses for ECT (or annihilation). In other words, the entire systematic of infernalism literally rests on defending eternal torture & cosmic abortion as intrinsic to the “gospel” message. Depravity is what is being protected not Grace.
A dear friend of mine, Robert Osgood several years ago was clinically died in the hospital for 45 minutes. He left his body and had an NDE. During that time and had a profound experience with Jesus in Heaven. He told me these two pictures get close to what Jesus looked like.

Let me refresh your memory Ken:
“provide scripture with the chapter and verse showing that a woman is in sin for rebuking a self-proclaimed pastor for teaching legalism on social media?”
We’re still waiting for you to answer the question.
The part Calvinists like to pretend never happened:
“Then Esau ran to meet him (Jacob) and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.”
-Genesis 33:4
Good works were never meant to save you, they are meant to save others.
‘So let your light shine out before humanity, so that they may see your good works and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.’
-Jesus (M5:16)
*Eternal: infinite, without end, forever
*Conscious: aware, awake, alert
*Torment: torture, plague, agonize

‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort’
-1C1:3
=The math doesn’t check out.

#Calvinists
who believe babies and children sin:
Jesus said, “Leave the little children be and do not prevent them from coming to me; FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS.”
Every ravine shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and whatever is crooked shall become straight, and the rough roads shall become smooth; and ALL flesh shall see the salvation of God.
-John the baptizer (Luke 3:5-6)
Christ doesn’t hate anyone addicted to pornography. He knows your struggles and He loves you still the same. He can help you bury that idol and replace it with what rightfully belongs there: His peace.
And ALL THINGS COME OUT OF GOD, who through the Anointed HAS reconciled US to 👉himself…so that God was in the Anointed reconciling the cosmos TO himself, NOT accounting their trespasses to them
-Paul (2C5:18-19)
Sometimes a deep sadness grips my heart. I don’t know anyone who lives near me that shares in the gospel of Christ’s universal reconciliation (i’m sure there are). I have lots of family & friends out of State who do, but nothing can replace human contact. It gets lonely.
Those Christians who have experienced a legitimate NDE; clinical death followed by a profound out of body experience with Jesus, get it. They know what it means first hand to be loved and forgiven by Him. It is the most profound healing experience, one that eclipses all others.
God is love.
God is eternal.
God is eternal love.
If you fear punishment, you have “not been perfected”τετελείωται (teteleiōtai); ‘consummated’, in His love (1John4:18). You are still a prisoner of “justice”.
Imagine how heartbroken a Dad would be if his children feared him because they wrongly thought he’d withhold his love for them for making a mistake. That’s the sort of heartache our Father in Heaven has to experience on a daily basis from His children who believe in ECT.
ECT is in reality an idol. If your primary cause for following & believing Jesus is because He saves you from ECT, then I submit that you’ve made the fear of hell an idol between you and Christ- “Those who fear punishment haven’t been perfected in love”. Stop ECT idol worship
