A questioner asks,
If there is no hell or punishment, then what is it that we are saved from?
Our question comes from and admitted believer in the doctrine of eternal torment, he states that the emphasis of the question should be on the word “IF” that in regards to the question, “IF there is...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
Let us now interpret these last five verses as it they should be, parabolically or figuratively as they are presented by our Lord.
VERSE 27 AND 28 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers that he may...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
“So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.”
VERSE 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
Having now considered Verses 23-26 from a literal perspective we would now like to consider them as they were intended from a figurative or parabolic perspective.
“There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
We continue now with Verses 24-26 of the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus.
For the sake of argument we are taking a look at this parable from the prospective of those who insist that it is to be taken literally to determine whether it be sound and scriptural. Thus far in our...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
As stated we believe our Lord’s statements in regards to the Rich man and Lazarus to be a parable, a FIGURATIVE portrayal of events, however some are still insistent upon believing it to be a LITERAL portrayal of events. With this in mind we should like to consider our next verse...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
Having in our previous posts taken a look at the first four verses of our parable (Verses 19-22) both from the literal perspective as well as the parabolic perspective we are now ready to examine Verses 23-26. Once again in order to prove that this is a parable we must first show...
Luke 16 (NKJV)
In our previous post we considered what the implication would be if we were to have considered these verses as literal statements, now we shall like to see the true meaning of these verses hidden by the Lord from the worldly wise through the use of metaphors and figurative...
Continued from previous post.
Now then let us consider the poor man. There is nothing said about his being a particularly good man a righteous man (there are plenty of poor people who are just as bad if not worse than a lot of rich people), nor is it stated that he prayed a great deal--not a...
Our friend Taken from the discussion forum asked us to:
Highlight the parts of Jesus' teaching OF HIS DOCTRINE, "YOU" claim are NOT Factual Truths
As we had stated it is our contention that this is a parable and that the Lord deliberately chose to use metaphors, i.e. figurative language so as...
“A few additional thoughts concerning the Abrahamic Covenant as mentioned in our last post under which the "Seed" is developed. Note this particular statement of Psa 50:5, "Those who have made a covenant with me."
Here Jehovah intimates that those who have presented their bodies a living...
Our Covenant is: “A Covenant by Sacrifice NOT the New Covenant”
From our studies thus far we have learned that the New Covenant is to become fully operational by the close of this Gospel Age, when once the Mediator (the Christ, Head and Body) is made complete, and that it is this covenant under...
All believers coming through the "curtain" (the “First Vail”) are "called to be saints," but only those who obey the call and YIELD themselves sacrifices (fulfilling their covenant of sacrifice), "make their calling and election sure."
Thus this first vail represents clearly our death to the...
“In his letter to the Hebrews, the Apostle frequently refers to a vail. He is writing to those who were familiar with the earthly tabernacle, its arrangements and services. The Apostle endeavors to show that it was only a type or figure designed to illustrate spiritual truths.
There were three...
What specifically does it mean to enter into a covenant with the Father, a covenant by sacrifice?
“Jesus taught (Matt 7:21) that "Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father."
What is that will of the Father? Paul...
Having in our previous posts (which please see) now an understanding of what it means to be “IN Christ Jesus”, the next question naturally would be,
How does one get “IN Christ Jesus” in the first place?
How do we get into the body of Christ?
The Apostle answers that we were baptized into...
Revelation Chapter 8
“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the...
Revelation Chapter 8
Once again we would like to take a look at Verses 3-5 and the censer-bearing angel as explained in The Keys of Revelation.
“And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the...
