Even God Can't Have His Cake And Eat It Too

[Jerm]

I know this subject has been covered several times here but I seriously can't fathom the ET explanation of Philippians 2:10.  Scripture proclaims that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus Christ as Lord.  This means that all of Creation will one day be in submission to God, thus no more rebellion against God.  So, the ETers are basically saying that one day God will finally achieve what He has wanted since the beginning (complete obedience and submission) and once He finally achieves that, He's still going to throw 95% of humanity in an unending fire pit!  I guess this means even God can't have His cake and eat it too...

[Tim B]

So true man, so true! That's the way people look at the destiny of humanity!

But just look at this verse, the same one that I have quoted in my signature:

Isaiah 45:22-24 (Amplified Bible)

"22, Look to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

    23, I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness and shall not return, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear [allegiance].(A)

    24, Only in the Lord shall one say, I have righteousness (salvation and victory) and strength [to achieve]. To Him shall all come who were incensed against Him, and they shall be ashamed.(B)"

I might be mistaken on the interpretation of this verse, but doesn't it say that those who bow and swear allegiance will say, "In the Lord I have righteousness and strength."? So these people find righteousness in Christ and then are thrown into Hell?? Yeah... NO!! God will have ALL men be saved!!

One cool "little" (not) thing I like about that is, the KJV says we can only call Jesus Lord by the Holy Spirit.

More accurately, in some other translations, it's (drum roll) IN the Holy Spirit.  IMO, that's a major difference in just those little 2 letter words.
