As I stated when we started this - I am sure I am not going to change your or anybody else’s thinking regarding this subject…..I think that is pretty much where we are at. You accuse me of missing or dismissing the record of Stephen ….I have done neither….. You are reading into the Bible I’m...

Abrahams bosom Luke 16:19-31 I have heard this referred to a couple of different ways, and honestly I don’t know what the common belief is, it seems to change with the subscriber, but for understanding purposes let me clarify what this passage is referring to. The first thing that should grab...

Soul Life The idiom “immortality of the soul” is a subjective term whose definition can vary with, and within those individuals of either philosophical or religious circles; and is earmarked with that in the paranormal realms. According to some religious beliefs, the soul is immortal and lives...

Sleep is a metaphor …at least we both agree on that. It is a great metaphor since it is the closest thing to death that we experience…..minus the snooze alarm. Similarities between death and sleep: 1). they are both overpowering forces – we can try to extend our life here on earth, but unless...

What do you do with the scripture in the epistles (which are addressed directly to the Church of the body in this grace administration) that state that the dead are dead (asleep) until the return of Christ for the church of the body. ….. Did God contradict Himself? If this is present tense as...

As one who was raised a RC until about age 14 I am aware of the teachings that surround this subject ………I use to believe the same because that’s what I was taught. Although I am sure that I am not going to change yours or anybody else’s thinking regarding this subject…. that is not my intent. I...

II Timothy 3:16 & 17 16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. The word perfect is the Greek word artios...

Interesting GUANO While you have brushed on some truths in your post most of what you wrote is based on philosophical conjecture. As a workman of the word my liberties are limited to II Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly...

not many know or realize this or will accept -some even say the thief on the cross is in heaven - twinc I know … but as you are probably aware Jesus was speaking of paradise (in the future) not of heaven …..and the misplaced comma by translators has aided in the confusion. Luke 23:43 And...

Short answer ....NO ...with the exception of our Lord and Savior.

I guess PI could also stand for Private Interpretation …as you succinctly illustrate.

My comment about fake news was tongue-in-cheek in reference to the last statement I made, which was: **Another interesting fact: all Eastern Bibles have “for this purpose I was spared” while the Occidental translations read “why hast thou forsaken me. But…… Your rebuttal of my post is exactly...

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I agree with ya'll ....God did not forsake Jesus ....sometimes we do ...but not God. Consider the following scripture: John...

Correct….Jesus Christ was crucified and died about the ninth hour (around our 3pm in the afternoon) Wednesday the 14th of Nisan….. He was entombed sometime before sunset …. and that, according to the Word is when we start our count. Not from the time of death, but from the time of burial...
