a. Dispensationalism. I don't believe that seeing different dispensations in the Bible is altogether wrong. It would be wrong if everything you read must fit (or, be forced) into a dispensation category to make the Bible work. Rather than give details on the various dispensations, I would just say that there does appear some clear demarcations seen that could be of help to us in correct Bible hermeneutics, but that shouldn't be forced upon one as an essential to understanding & trusting in the Words in the Bible.
b. Can the Holy Spirit leave? When one has truly repented of sins, turned to Jesus in faith, & being born again, the promise to us is that the Holy Spirit comes to reside in us: 1 Corinthians 6:19 (i.e. His Presence is there to give us new life, Titus 3:5, 1 John 2:29); a new nature ( 2 Corinthians 5:17); sealing us ( 2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13); filling us ( Ephesians 5:18); & other ministries to guide, teach & comfort us. Yet, we can hardly fathom how intimately the Spirit works in us, drawing us closer to our Heavenly Father, & longing for us to be conformed to our blessed Lord Jesus. But if we step outside the Will of God, to disobey or to pursue a fleshly desire, then the Spirit in us will be grieved ( Ephesians 4:30), quenched ( 1 Thessalonians 5:19), outraged ( Hebrews 10:29), even resisted ( Acts 7:51). But does He leave us when we sin? No, He continues to minister to us bringing us to repentance, that we should call upon God to help us overcome & glorify Him in our lives. The true believer remains secure ( John 10:28), but we need to make sure we are indeed 'in the faith', experiencing God's Work in our lives.
c. Gluttony? Can be ranked with drunkenness or other obsessive, repetitive behaviour that slowly destroys the body God has given us. We need to take control over it, even if it means medical help & know that God desires our healing. It may not be sin, but can lead to it.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"
James 2:9-12 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
Isaiah 24:9
They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Isaiah 5:22
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Isaiah 28:7
But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
Judges 13:7
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink,
Proverbs 20:1
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is RAGING; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Isaiah 5:11
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Isaiah 56:12
Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Proverbs Chapter 23
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? (tears)
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet AGAIN.
Life is easier without being under the influence of anything that causes the brain to harden and go dark.
I would've answered, man. But nowadays people have separated us into "groups"; according to sexual preference. It's another sign of Jesus's return, in the clouds.
Briefly__Earth was created for man. Lucifer was here as a serpent. He is not now or since the garden of Eden, human. Jesus is God, but he appeared as the Angel of the Lord in OT. Humans live in the constraint of time.
It was the act of Abraham being willing to sacrifice his own son (as ordered), we are able to understand the depth of pain God felt about sacrificing his own son for us humans. Time flowed until Mary and Joseph. It was time for Jesus to enter the world as a mere human. He laid aside all his powers to do that.
The Earth changed the moment of Jesus's first breath as a human child. He would take all of mankind's sins on himself and pay the penalty for our freedom, from sin.
Satan, still without a body; but he could borrow bodies of willing humans. It still happens this day. Christians are different because we believe the blood Jesus shed for us, is upon us. We have authority and power, in the NAME of Jesus to force Satan to leave, go into outer darkness. Evil spirits too. All must bow their knee to the Risen Son of God. Jesus Name, saves us.
We Christians are missing opportunities to reach out to our communities, or the one on Facebook (that I do not have). I'm here if anyone wants to send a friend here for conversation and prayer for their needs. Everyone in here wants to help.
This shooting in Uvalde has really disturbed me that no one probably knew the abuse the grandmother suffered. We need to do more evangelistically. Have calling cards with the name of this room on it. Leave Facebook and come here. I will fast and pray the Prince of the power of the air LEAVE our air space. He's not all powerful. Jesus gave us His Name and His authority.
We can agree and it will be done. Believe it.
God: "...and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Rev 21:8
Has Christ CAUSED you to believe on him.
Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN, on the behalf of Christ, not only to BELIEVE ON HIM, but to suffer for his sake.
Christ is the book, the word of God.
Colossians 1:27 ....this mystery ....Christ in you .....
John 14:6 .....I AM LIFE .....
Colossians 2:13 For it is God (his life) that worketh IN YOU (his body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
You are IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
God Bless YOU!
That's hard to accept, even in the Christian community. It's not uncommon for one to fashion doctrine to a more suitable doctrine for their itching ears.
If nothing else we have clarity the scripture warns us of these things.
Let's take a look at the nature of man apart from the Holy Spirit.
Here in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7. I believe we have the Holyspirit/restrainer being removed, "likely at the rapture" We see a series of evil events take place by the Antichrist.
"And now ye know what WITHHOLDETH that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: ONLY HE WHO NOW LETTETH WILL LET, UNTIL HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY."
Now notice the ungenerated and unrepentant heart of man in Revelation 16:8-11.
"And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, AND BLASPHEMED THE NAME OF GOD, WHICH HATH POWER OVER THESE PLAGUES: AND THEY REPENTED NOT TO GIVE HIM GLORY.
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; AND THEY GNAWED THEIR TONGUES FOR PAIN,
AND BLASPHEMED THE GOD OF HEAVEN BECAUSE OF THEIR PAINS AND THEIR SORES, AND REPENTED NOT OF THEIR DEEDS.
The ungenerated man has the same nature as his father Satan.
Daniel 12:2.
God bless.
John 6:28-29, "Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." Believe and the work is done, you are saved securely and eternally.
Being eternally secure doesn't give us a license to sin and sin doesn't go without consequence to the born again either. But God is merciful and just to forgive. Don't be confused by the multitude of doctrines, religions, denominations, and regulations men condemn you for in the name of a ministry; if your Faith is in Christ and your Shield is His Word (the Holy KJV Bible)...be at peace and know your Salvation too cannot be taken from you.
Common sense indicates me that since this text (KJV) is a traduction from other texts in another language (maybe hebrew?), in ancient times, i guess maybe the traductors tried to find a word that resemble the same concept for that word used in the originals.
But theres another thing to take in account.
Since this bible was wrote in 1611, the word "person" can not significate the same that in modern times (in the juristic sense, and in the vulgar use of it).
So i went to Merriam Webster Dcty.
And found the following:
In archaic english; "person" means : bodily appearance.
And that makes sense to me.
In that time "person" didnt mean "a human being", or an "individual"; they used the word "man" for that.
So, "person" in the context of the scriptures written in the 15 century is meaning "the fisical appereance of a man" coincidentaly to the latin etimology.
And the Lord God is continualy advicing us no to make diferences on behalf the person, nor to make acceptance of it.
Thanks again Mishael !
The second resurrection takes place after the 1,000 reign of Christ. That resurrection will be for all those who rejected Christ. There will be no hope of salvation for those in the second resurrection ( Revelation 20:5-6).
There are two deaths. There's physical death, and there's spiritual death. There's an old saying that says that a believer is somebody who has been born twice but dies once. You're physically born, and you're spiritually born. And when you physically die, that will be the only death you will experience because you'll be with Christ forever.
The non-believer is somebody who is born once, but dies twice. They die in death here, and then they are resurrected and put in the lake of fire for the second death. The second death is eternal separation from Christ in the lake of fire.
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
This could be a very extended subject, I'm sure you would agree.
Luke 16:31 And if they hear not Mosses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
Daniel 7:14 And there was GIVEN HIM dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ALL PEOPLE, nations, and language, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, SHALL BE GIVEN to the people of the saints of the most high, and ALL dominions shall serve and obey him.
Amos 3:7 Surly the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth HIS SECRETS unto his servants the prophets.
If there are two groups of people one going to heaven and one going to hell, God didn't reveal this to to Daniel.
God Bless YOU!
