There are always consequences for sin. Sin separates sinners and saints from God's grace. This does not mean that the saint that sins loses their salvation, but it does mean they are at risk of chastisement. The Seven Letters to the Churches in the Book of Revelation addresses the need to repent of sin. Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Only a proud person, and Christians can become proud, refuses to humble themselves before God and throw themselves on His mercy to be restored to His grace. The prodigal son had to repent and return to his father to receive his forgiveness. 1Jn 1:5-10 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: (7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

From the Hebrew language: Jehovah Rapha: "The Lord Who Heals" (Exodus 15:26), emphasizing God's healing and restoration. Jehovah Jireh: "The Lord Will Provide" (Genesis 22:14), highlighting God's provision. Jehovah Nissi: "The Lord Is My Banner" (Exodus 17:15), symbolizing victory and protection. Jehovah Shalom: "The Lord Is Peace" (Judges 6:24), reflecting God's peace and wholeness. Jehovah Tsidkenu: "The Lord Our Righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6), focusing on God's righteousness. Jehovah Shammah: "The Lord Is There" (Ezekiel 48:35), signifying God's presence. El Shaddai: "God Almighty" (Genesis 17:1), expressing God's power and sovereignty. Adonai: "Lord" or "Master," emphasizing God's authority. To be acknowledged in all circumstances and situations.

Hold that thought . . . 1Pe 1:10-12 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, (11) inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. (12) It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

Yes. Verse 19. I'm not quoting the verse though, but referring to it. I made some earlier posts about it.

I'm splitting the last replies into the private Worthy Discussions category.

Sometimes I correct bad spelling with my editing permissions, but grammar mistakes are too time consuming to put right as a general practice. @other one has mentioned using "We" instead of "I", in a discussion about having the Holy Spirit with him. Somehow the terms "pronoun" and "gender" got mixed around and the subject of transgenderism emerged. Anyway, for clarity here is a categorized list of English pronouns: Personal Pronouns Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them Possessive Pronouns Used alone: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs Used before nouns: my, your, his, her, its, our, their Reflexive Pronouns myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves Demonstrative Pronouns this, that, these, those Interrogative Pronouns who, whom, whose, what, which Relative Pronouns who, whom, whose, which, that Indefinite Pronouns Examples: someone, anyone, everyone, nobody, anything, something, all, none, some, each, few, many, others Reciprocal Pronouns each other, one another Distributive Pronouns each, either, neither There you have it, English pronouns.

About the gender thing with languages, (and my seven years of French at school): Many languages use gendered pronouns and grammatical gender systems where nouns, adjectives, and sometimes verbs are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. Here are some examples: Romance Languages: Languages like Spanish, French, and Italian have grammatical gender. For instance, in French, "il" (he) and "elle" (she) are gendered pronouns, and nouns like "le livre" (the book) are masculine, while "la table" (the table) is feminine. Germanic Languages: German has three genders—masculine, feminine, and neuter. Pronouns like "er" (he), "sie" (she), and "es" (it) reflect this system. Slavic Languages: Russian, Polish, and Czech also have grammatical gender. For example, in Russian, "он" (he) and "она" (she) are gendered pronouns. Semitic Languages: Arabic has masculine and feminine forms for pronouns, verbs, and adjectives. For example, "هو" (he) and "هي" (she) are gendered pronouns. Indo-Aryan Languages: Hindi and Sanskrit have grammatical gender. In Hindi, "वह" (he/she) can be gender-neutral in writing but is often pronounced differently for male and female contexts. Modern Hebrew: Like Arabic, Hebrew has gendered pronouns and verbs. For example, "הוא" (he) and "היא" (she). These systems often extend beyond pronouns to influence the entire grammar of the language.

According to Ephesians 2:1-7 Postmortem Evangelism of the righteous is unnecessary. Eph 2:1-7 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins (2) in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— (3) among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. (4) But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, (5) even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— (6) and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, (7) so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 3:19 has dealt with the spirits in prison, namely those who opposed God in Noah's day and are in Hades. 1 Peter 4:6 The KJV is a better translation for this one because it avoids the error of the so-called "preaching to the dead" (Postmortem Evangelism) which is a misconstruction of what is simply the fact that those who had the gospel preached to them while they were alive subsequently died...and were dead at the time of Peter's writing the epistle. These people were "judged" as trouble makers and put to death for their faith, but of course in Christ live on. I realise there are contrary opinions but that's normally the case with some passages in the Bible so in the end each makes up their own mind. 1Pe 4:6 For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. These saints now deceased in the context above, were subject to scrutiny by those they lived among, showing they believed the gospel and lived it for God.

If you can pick one doctrine you consider false, that would satisfy my curiosity about your need to generalise rather than specify.

Is there a doctrine in particular that you consider false?

Yes, and it's very clever how that works. One of the cleverest things ever to be. Such a sweet, transcendent, harmonious, demonstration of God's investment in humanity.

Everything you post shows up on your Profile Page., even if it has been moved to the Deleted Posts Section behind the scenes. I couldn't find any post from you with a video, but it would have been deleted anyway if it was overlength. What you can do is provide a search reference on YouTube or wherever, that interested members can use.

There are currently no posts waiting approval, and I checked the content in the profile pages of @Edward429451, and there is no post for the Video Section.

Enjoyed both your ride, and my cup of tea while watching. TFP (Thanks for posting)

Those verses don't comport to the context and tense of "Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,"
