    the meaning of baptism

    If we truly love God, then we will obey "Every word" that proceeds out of his mouth (Matthew 4:4). Baptism is one of those words. In order to be baptized, certain events must take place: You must repent, give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John...

    Water Baptism--Literal or Symbolic?

    Lets take a look in Act 8:35-39 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou...

    Water Baptism--Literal or Symbolic?

    "And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him." (Luke 7:29-30). People, if you are in a position to be baptized in the name...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Well....yeah it's all folly, but like the books says in Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. For the living know not any thing, neither any more reward. Why? Once...

    The scriptures I'm posting refers to physical death, not spiritual death. I get what you saying, but that's another point to make. Read the beginning of the thread so we can be on one accord.

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Let's take a look at this for a moment. Listen carefully to Peter. II Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Paul said in "1 Corinthians 6:9" Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor...

    I don't think I mention the second death yet. Let’s go to the Prophet Job and see if he knows anything about this subject. This is still the first death But let's see what Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Thats a good question that coms with a loaded answer. But I'll try to make it simple. Throughout the bible we find that in order to receive eternal salvation and truth, we must keep God's commandments to the end. If we make a mistake we must not give up, but I press toward the mark for the prize...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    If it's possible let's stick to Bible terminology, because the Bible speak of two types of Death. The first death is the grave, now when I read the post it looks like you mixing them both. The second death is the lake of fire, I haven't mention that death yet. I just want to be clear that you...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    I hope you read the beginning of the thread before you commented. But let's see what David says in Psalm 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? Was that hard to understand? No. If you are dead you have no wisdom, no knowledge, no memory who...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    The Bible talks about two death and two resurrection, while some time they may intertwine with each other and become confusing if one not understand the scriptures. But so far I've been speaking on the first death. Paul says in Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Let's find another witness. The Lord said that David was a man after His own heart. David should know about this subject. Let's see if David and Solomon are on the same page. Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    But Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. For the living know not any thing, neither any more reward. Why? Once you're dead there is no more hope. If...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Preachers are miss leading people into believing fantasy stories.People believing that they love ones are looking down on them smiling, with all this hell going on in earth.When a person dies, does he or she have any consciousness? Does a puff of smoke leave their body and go flying off into the...
