B3L13v3R

I find the Scripture is crystal clear on the matter. Our Lord Jesus Christ didn't mince words, He used words like "everlasting fire, everlasting punishment, eternal damnation."
Who am I going to believe? Christ!

As has been mentioned, it's the same Greek word used for "eternal & everlasting" when Heaven and Hell are mentioned!
Eternal:G166
aiōnios
ahee-o'-nee-os
From G165; perpetual (also used of past time, or past and future as well): - eternal, for ever, everlasting, world (began).

Is God Love? Yes! - He loved us so much, He shed His blood for our sins, died on the cross, 3 days later resurrected to be seen by over 500 people for a period of 40 days, and now He sits at the right hand of the Father! Now THAT'S LOVE!

Can there be love without justice? No. Heaven and Hell are man's ultimate eternal destination, and without Christ upon death, Hell is the destination, followed a short time later by the eternal Lake of Fire, after God's final judgement on each and every individual that did not repent, and believe on Him.
Revelation 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the Lake of Fire.

In my love for Him, I regularly street preach/teach eternity in Hell, and eternity in Heaven. No matter how folks spin it, this matter is "eternally" settled for this man, and by the Word of God whose context is clear.
We can see this in the following examples. Please consider them in the "context" in which our Lord spoke them:

Matthew 25:41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 25:46  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Mark 3:29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Mark 9:42-49  And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. (43) And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (44) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (45) And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (46) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (47) And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: (48) Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

2Thessalonians 1:7-10  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (10) When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Jude 1:7  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Revelation 14:9-12  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, (10) The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: (11) And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

As previously mentioned, even in the Old Testament, Daniel 12:2 uses the same word "everlasting" in both everlasting life, and everlasting contempt!

Daniel 12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Everlasting: H5769
‛ôlâm  ‛ôlâm
o-lawm', o-lawm'
From H5956; properly concealed, that is, the vanishing point; generally time out of mind (past or future), that is, (practically) eternity; frequentative adverbially (especially with prepositional prefix) always: - always (-s), ancient (time), any more, continuance, eternal, (for, [n-]) ever (-lasting, -more, of old), lasting, long (time), (of) old (time), perpetual, at any time, (beginning of the) world (+ without end). Compare H5331, H5703.

May any in Christ be looking forward to being on this side of eternal life in the not too distant future! Reach out, and look to point others in this direction also!
1 John 5:11-13  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (12) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (13) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Snip:
“The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 permits a constable to search an arrested person “for anything he might use to assist him to escape lawful custody” or “which might be evidence relating to an offence”. Such searches must be “reasonably required”. We can safely conclude that our fundamental rights and freedoms are in jeopardy if a search of hair is considered “reasonably required” for a suspected crime of praying, even silent prayer. As the Public Order Bill goes through Parliament, it’s crucial that Isabel’s experience is kept firmly in the mind of MPs. No one should be criminalised for the peaceful, harmless practice of their faith, let alone thoughts,” added Jeremiah Igunnubole, Legal Counsel for ADF UK."

On the original post question: "Pre-Adamic World: Fact or Fiction"

Fiction.
How any can read all "that" into two verses found in Gen 1:1-2 is truly incredible.
The "real" Adam, and the only Adam in Genesis was not mentioned or created until verses 26-27:
Gen 1:26-27  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (27)  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis chapter 2 gives us a few more specifics as to how God created the first couple.

Honestly, The "Dake Study bible" is on my shelf only because of a handful of people some 35ish years ago recommended it. Upon reading many of "his notes," I found it to be a hodgepodge of truth and error combined, and much of that "error" quite heretical. Not recommended at all. There is no "Pre Adamic Race" as he, or anyone else like him, has taught. Along with so much more confusion through number of "Dake's" personal beliefs that are quite anti-biblical. Dake's also believes there is "9" in the Trinity instead of "3."

This Messianic Brother in Christ had quite a bit to say on Finis Dake and his writings. http://www.letusreason.org/Pent74.htm
The portion brought up on here on the "Pre-Adamic World" he briefly touched on:
"...Dake spoke of a gap theory that went further than many who believe of a gap taking place in Gen.1 to v.2. He claimed Jesus himself taught about a Pre-Adamic race (in the context of Matthew 13:35). Dake said that the expression from the “foundation of the world” should be translated “from the overthrow of the world” meaning literally the overthrow of the Pre-Adamic race.
Whether there is a gap or not does not in any way prove there was a pre-adamic race. The only pre-Adam beings existing were the various angels. Job identifies them as watching God lay the foundations of Earth (Job 38:2-7)."

Hey Folks, Dropping in a little late to comment on Omega's graduation into eternity with our King, Jesus Christ.

First and foremost, my condolences to any family members of his who have been mentioned that read here from time to time.
I hope his memorial goes well, and gives thought to any who may not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and  Savior.

I appreciated Omega over the years with his genuine fairness as a Mod, cleaning up off topic subjects with some regularity, passing on minor infractions as he looked to bring balance to the Worthy Boards when problems would come up.

He enjoyed photography, (something I enjoy, and our Brother taught me a few tips) art, remodeling, and had a sense of humor that he would occasionally inject along the way.
Looking forward to seeing him again one day soon enough on the other side of eternity in heaven!  

These are a few photos of Omega's work that he posted here at Worthy over the years that I had saved.
Re-posting a few here for others to see. In his brief tutorial GIF here, he was explaining basics of his techniques on drawing to inspire others.

Munching down an acorn, thinks I can't see him!

Yes, there has been a silent "P" for years now, for pedophilia.
An infamous song came out a few months back, from the "San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir" called:

"We’re Coming For Your Children"

Here's the demonic lyrics:

"You say we all lead lives you don’t respect. But you’re just frightened. You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked. Funny, just this once, you’re correct.
We’ll convert your children – happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly and you will barely notice it…
Just like you’re worried, they’ll change their group of friends, you won’t approve of where they go at night. And you’ll be disgusted when they start learning things online that you kept far from their sight…
We’ll convert your children – Yes we will! – reaching one and all, there’s really no escaping it, cause even grandma likes RuPaul…
The world’s getting kinder, Gen Z’s gayer than Grindr…We’re coming for them. We’re coming for your children…The gay agenda is coming home. The gay agenda is here."

A few of them had apparently been in jail for pedophilia, had served their time, and were singing in this immoral debauchery.

I broke up with my bf and now I just want to pursue God fully. I feel bad giving God the left overs of my life-- the broken pieces.

After being hard headed and experiencing things for myself I see that everything he says not to do is for our own well being or withholds is always for the best.

I see that now.

Idk i feel bad I dont pass my tests or trials. I always always always fail. 

I feel like a worthless christian.

What ways can i commit myself to God? ( besides reading, praying ect)

A lot of great suggestions given here by others!
We as a family were praying you would see the sin of fornication, and repent of it. We're so glad you have!
The school of hard knocks can be a difficult one, albeit, one we can learn from.

God, on the other hand, has given us many examples of people in the Bible with both their failings and triumphs for our edification too.
As we grow, it's best to learn from their victories as well as their failings so we have an idea of what to do or not to do in various circumstances:

1Cor 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: (examples) and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

As "temptations" come, and they will come, lean on God to show you the way out! He will always have a door out to "make a way to escape." Grab the door and in His strength, leave. There may not be a "door #2!"

1Cor 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Keep God as your "first" love, and continue to renew your mind with His Truths from the Bible!

Mar 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (31) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

1Pet 2:2-3 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:  (3)  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Another book I'll add to the table that I read a few years back. Informative.

"Another Jesus?"
by Roger Oakland with Jim Tetlow

"Description: Many Christians think that the Christian practice of communion is the same as the Catholic tradition of the Eucharist. But this is not so. The Eucharist (i.e., Transubstantiation), is a Catholic term for communion when the bread and the wine are supposed to become the very body and blood of Jesus Christ. These transformed elements are placed in what is called a monstrance and can then be worshipped as if worshipping Jesus Himself. The implications are tied in with salvation.
With the Eucharist, salvation becomes sacramental (participation in a ritual) as opposed to justification by faith in Christ alone. While this mystical experience called the Eucharist cannot be upheld through Scripture, there appears to be an increase of interest by evangelical Christians towards this practice."

May we all be reminded during these interesting times we find ourselves in:
Matthew 6:25-26 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (26) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Why doesn't President Trump ban homosexuality if he is Christian? It sounds like the only logical thing a Christian would do regarding the practice of homosexuality...

Our President has no interest in doing so, and is looking to "decriminalize" it even further here, and across the world. I'm aware of one nation that still understands it's "sin" and will not be changing their laws. While not condoning their execution or imprisonment, it should never be looked upon as normal or them being "married" as God will never see it as such. A few Tweets from last year:

It was illegal in all 50 states for many years. As nations depart from God and His ways, He turns them over to their sinful and carnal desires.

Romans 1:24-27 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

At any time should they, or any other sinner repent and believe on Jesus Christ, God can and will forgive them and set them free!

1Corinthians 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, (male homosexuals acting feminine) nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (homosexuals in general) (10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Your free to marry another Christian.
As a forgiven fellow Christian, if you were date in the future, don't give Satan opportunities, look to stay out in the open, or be with friends and such.

Along with that, please understand, God ONLY wants Christians marrying Christians. When they don't, nothing but problems follow.
I've seen this many times over the years, the Christian often "thinks" they will win the unbeliever over to Christ and goes on to marry an unbeliever going against God's clear will on the matter. While they "may be" the one out of a thousand that do win one over, they were clearly sinning themselves when they knew what the Lord had to say on the matter.

2Co 6:14-16  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

This verse is easy enough to understand, but for me it also has another meaning. I fornicated a few months ago (only with one girl) and decided to stop and repent, but what this verse is telling me is that if I were to marry someone else and do anything with them, it would be adultery for both of us because I had done it before.

The verse you brought up speaks to one being within the bounds of matrimony. If as a married Christian, you were to divorce your wife, and marry another, you commit adultery. And any that marries the previously divorced wife, commits adultery with her, as she was previously married.

Luke 16:18  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

God, as you already knew, sees fornication as sin too, and you have lost the virginity that should have been saved until marriage.
You had fornicated, repented of this sin towards God, and been forgiven. Stay washed, sanctified and grow in Jesus Christ!

1Corinthians 6:9-11  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, (homosexual men acting like women) nor abusers of themselves with mankind, (homosexuals in general) (10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, (nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (11) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

God created sex, and He only meant for it to be enjoyed within the bounds of marriage, between one man, and one woman.
Satan has always hated this, and given a multitude of sinful ideas as an attempt to destroy something God created to be beautiful, while bringing forth children!

Genesis 1:27-28  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created He them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Jesus Christ spoke towards the same in the N/T:

Matthew 19:4-6  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

"Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my 36 years of pediatric surgery, I have never known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother's life. If toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother's health, the doctor will induce labor or perform a Caesarean section. His intention is to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby's life is never willfully destroyed because the mother's life is in danger."

Hi.
I am new to the forum. I have just recently decided that that Bible is true. In the welcome section I have given a brief introduction to my journey in case you want to read it.
My prayer request is could you please pray for God to forgive me for my sins that I have committed. I am worried sometimes that I won’t be forgiven and that’s not a good feeling. And also can you please pray for me that I get enough strength to endure on the path.

Hi Ervin P and welcome to Worthy!

We have all sinned against God, and can only be forgiven by repenting of our sins towards Jesus Christ and Him alone! He alone is the only way to heaven, he alone gave the ultimate gift of His shed blood for your sins, His one time death and Resurrection for you!
No one else can "pray for God to forgive me" for you, it's something you must do for yourself as an individual. Praying you would see the Truth in this!

Acts 3:19  Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Romans 10:8-13  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  (10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (12) For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

One can borrow the prayer along the lines of David in the Pslams and see themselves needing forgiveness as well:

Psalms 51:1-10  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. (2) Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. (3) For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. (4) Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. (5) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (6) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. (7) Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. (8) Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. (9) Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. (10) Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

I see in the "Worthy Welcome" you said: Quote Ervin P: "I have been into Buddhism, Islam, other religions, spiritual teachers and what not.
I have ended up believing in the Bible, since to me it’s obviously true. It’s the best written religious book. It’s also way better/wiser when compared to other spiritual teachings.----"

The Bible supercedes any other religious book!
ALL of those "other books" have one thing in common, "WORKS!"
And yet, our God, who is God, offers Salvation as a FREE gift towards all who would call upon Jesus Christ!

The Bible is not a Book, but a collection of 66 Books. Written over a span of 1600 years, across 3 continents, by over 40 writers inspired by God in 3 languages yet it has one primary theme: The glory of God and Salvation of mankind and zero errors or contradictions...

My wife had a friend inform her that her lost father had a "death bed Salvation experience" as he repented and believed on our glorious Savior just prior to his death. These instances seem to be far and few between, but thank God they do happen!

What a great assurance we have from Jesus Christ at the time of our passing from this life into the next! Better late than never, it can be "Wilson's" too!!

Friends, I have no work but was  giving Hindi Bibles to others, and God was blessing me, but now due to lockdown and corona virus, i am not able to go out and give Hindi Bibles. Also we are not able to pray together on sunday. Seems , blessings is stopped because of not spending time in the Lord, and not doing spiritual work, you can pray God continue to pour His  blessings upon me, and also, let this coronavirus stop infecting and killing others, so that I start going out to give Hindi Bibles, and receive God's blessings.
God bless!

Mel, we always have the blessing of being the ambassadors of Christ in any situation, including this world wide Corona one with all of our various giftings in One Body for Christ. Praying for you and all Christians towards that end.
One focus that should never change for any, our love for God 1st and foremost.
Be in prayer, and ask our Lord to use those Bibles to His glory that you have given in the past! 
Like yourself, along with speaking for our Lord, I'll often supplement with good Christian tracts, pamphlets, and Bibles. Not so much now because of the fear of Corona, but still speaking for our Lord as He gives me the opportunities. In fact, because of the fear of Corona, people are listening better, thank you Jesus!

As our hearts are before God, blessings never stop because we have temporarily ceased in something we were doing previously. 
Think of the "changes" Paul and Silas went through as they ministered. In one instance, preaching to us Gentiles openly. In the next being beaten and tossed in jail for casting out a mocking demonic spirit out of a witch. Paul and Silas follow by singing praises to God and a miraculous earthquake follows, and God sets them free.
Prior to them walking out of the prison, they preach the Gospel to the jailer, both he and his household go on to be Saved as a result of this!
I can honestly imagine, Paul and Silis would have much rather been preaching in the open peaceably, rather than the beatings followed by jail for well doing. But look at what the outcome was! Acts 16:16-40

Be in prayer as a godly sower for His Word to be revealed to those you have already sown God's Bibles to. I'll be in prayer for this too. Thanks for your strong desire to continue to see Christ revealed through His Word.
And when this does let up, that God would continue to present opportunities for you as you sow the Word of God towards others. The same Word of God that Saved you, me, and every Born Again Christian!

Various Blessings for all our Savior spoke of:
Mat 5:2-16  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, (3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (4) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (5) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (7) Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (8) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.  (9)  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.  10) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (11) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  (15)  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
