    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Don’t you find it somewhat strange ....that Jesus would go to a place that doesn’t exist yet.

    Can truth of Hell be understood?

    A better understanding of hades, sheol, Gehenna, Katakaio, and Tartarous,… is necessary. Those are the words translated into the English word Hell in the Bible, all of which carry a different meaning. There is no burning forever, that comes from Greek mythology where Hades was the god of the...

    Did Jesus raise hiself from the dead or did God yhe father raise him

    There is no contradiction … to begin with…. a dead person cannot do anything when they are dead ….Jesus was dead. And... the end of this verse in John … explains itself. The Aramaic Peshitta does a better job of translating John_10:18 John 10:18 - There is no one that taketh it from me; but...

    Was Paul a Catholic?

    They kind of do ... with the inclusion of the Apocrypha ...but even with that, they still don't color within the lines.

    The woman caught in Adultery

    The scripture of Jhn 7:53 through Jhn 8:11 is omitted in the “Peschito Syriac New Testament” along with numerous critical Greek Text and Manuscripts. Some text contain the record, but place it in a different location. ….It is difficult to know what is what, but it does not cause any overall...

    Where did Jesus go when he died?

    Lev 17:11 For the life (nephesh) of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls (nephesh) for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul (nephesh) The word translated life in verse 11 is the Hebrew word (nephesh) = soul The...

    Pre-trib rapture!

    There are only three groups of people in the Bible → Jews …. Gentiles …. and Church of God (aka Christians) There were no Christians in Jesus’s time on earth …which means the only two groups of people Jesus could have spoken to would be → Jews or Gentiles …. But we know that Jesus came for the...

    Gospel of Luke - Chapter 2 - Verses 21 to 32

    This might help a little: The wise guys were not at the birth as depicted in the stories we were told …. The scripture below differentiates the age… and why Herod ordered all male children 2 years or younger …to be killed. Luk 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe...

    TODAY you will be with me in paradise

    I think Tony is looking for specific reference. As much of this appears to be private interpretation. But I have some questions How could Jesus be a lamb of the first year …and preach for 3 years? How could those who had followed God go to heaven when Jesus specifically stated Jhn 3:13 And...

    You Better Know Your Bible When You Come Here

    Sorry my friend ....it was my way of drawing a comparison.... what I said was What you have selected is almost akin to being a Trump supporter on Twitter in 2020. The comparison I was drawing was .....If you were a Trump supporter (you are, as am I) You could not verbalize that on Twitter in...

    You Better Know Your Bible When You Come Here

    Davy… I think maybe you should pick another subject as an example. What you have selected is almost akin to being a Trump supporter on Twitter in 2020. The subject you selected is not allowed to be be discussed with much of a rebuttal, so it becomes what you say …..period. ….. not what your...

    Faith either has good or bad works

    Years ago, I dated a girl named Faith who did not have a job…. So there you have it….. Faith without works! …….. only she was not dead … she was very much alive ….and that presents a contradiction.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I do think you are crazy Matt …crazy in love with God our Father and the Lord Jesus. If I remember right…. a few years ago in CF message you told me you had some really bad experiences with speaking in tongues at a church you attended. I don’t remember the details ...but I am sorry that it has...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Matt I was pretty sure I knew where you stood on this ... I will concede to your scripture 1 Cor_13:8 that tongues have ceased ....IF....you will concede that knowledge has passed away also. Because if it has ...you wouldn't have any knowledge that tongues have ceased.... as there would be no...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Fortunately, God doesn’t cancel things based on a person’s belief. Do you think any of the things on this list were only necessary during the time of the apostles... and we have no need for them today because they are irrelevant. …so God cancelled them. Benefits of Speaking in Tongues The...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Knowing it is available … I know that sounds simple, but so many don’t believe it’s available or that God hasn’t given them what …they mistakenly think is a gift …but it’s not a gift … It is a manifestation (evidence) of the gift of holy spirit (as are the other 8) that we receive (dechomai)...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I agree any of the manifestation would be evidence, although tongues is the predominant evidence. The magnifying (praising) God in Acts_10:46 is a result of speaking in tongues, it is not listed as a manifestation of the spirit in 1 Corinthians 12 ……………but prophecy absolutely is. Going back...

    Baptized on behalf of the dead

    Another option to this verse, and I'm not discounting the baptism of the dead that Tony submitted….Nor am I saying I'm right ....just another option. The word Else (epei) Is a Greek subordinate conjunction that may be use to indicate either… time, cause, or inference….. In this occurrence it is...

    When did Old Testament saints receive the Holy Spirit?

    That would possibly be an implication if it did not contradict a boatload of other scripture….which it would. As a ruler of the Judeans, Nicky should have been knowledgeable of what he scripture said regarding the Christ what He was to accomplish….. The gift of holy spirit was anticipated ever...
