People are not judged while they are dead, they're judged after they have been resurrected. What happens between death and resurrection is that we will be in an inconscious state - sleeping in death. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 (WEB): (13) But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning...

No. I've followed up in this thread, commenting on your statement in this thread. I'm not going to comment in a silly thread to gamble in order to demonstrate how confident I am in my beliefs, which is of no use to anybody. I'm sticking to discussing the Bible.

Your "thinking" is ignoring what the Bible says! Think about what happens to the spirit between death and the resurrection, and search the Bible to see what it says about it.

When our body dies our spirit becomes unconscious, described by Jesus and the apostles as a sleep. We only will awake from that sleep if and when God resurrects us. We (Christians) are not immortal until God makes us immortal, which is when he resurrects us. As Paul said, if there is no...

No, John didn't believe that Jesus was God. It's certainly not one of the clearest indications if you have to choose a specific translation that has dishonestly added the words "who is Himself God" in order to give that impression, whereas the vast majority of translations translate it with the...

If you don't believe that you are a human being, then I can't help you! Good grief, people will be saying that they're neither male or female next. The world's going mad. o_O John 8:44 (WEB): (44) You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a...

Err, yes he did deny it! Did you not read the following verses that you quoted? From the NIV which you quoted, John 10:36: Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? or ISV: (36) how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the...

No, we are human! Again, it's common sense! Jesus was a man (human) and so are we (currently): Romans 5:15 (WEB): (15) But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus...

The Bible of course. Angels are not physical men: John 3:13 (KJV): (13) And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 1:18 (KJV): (18) No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of...

Yes! The verses that I quoted in post #18 are straightforward, clear and easy to understand. Don't you have belief and faith in the Scriptures? You seem willing to believe in something that the Scriptures don't say (that we become angels when we repent), so why won't you believe in what the...

We have physical bodies, not spiritual bodies. Angels have spiritual bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:44-49 (ESV): (44) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. (45) Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living...

No. Nobody can tell you any more than that angels are spirit beings, but nobody knows what a spirit being is. I suspect that spirit beings can access other dimensions which we humans do not have access to, and we can't imagine what that is like. You're living in fantasy land! Where is the...

Again, that's totally irrelevant to whether or not an angel is "someone who has repented their sin", as you stated in post #3. Are you claiming to be an angel?

So what? Lawyers are still human. A man remains a man when he changes his job; he doesn't change into a fish or any other kind of being. Use common sense!

Clearly not. So your first wrong belief led you to into a second wrong belief. 1 Corinthians 8:4-7 (WEB): (4) Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one. (5) For though there are things...

What nature you have has got nothing to do with repenting of sin. Is a human not a human unless he repents of sin? Was God not God before he repented? Exodus 32:14 (WEB): (14) Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

Satan was a high form of angel, a cherub. Ezekiel 28:13-16 (WEB): (13) You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in...

Absurd! When you are dead you have no thoughts and you cannot do anything - that's the definition of being dead. So nobody can raise themselves from death (which is why we need a saviour). The Scriptures are clear, it was God, our Father and Jesus' Father, who raised Jesus from the dead...

It is Albert Barnes, not Albert Banks - can't you get anything right?! You were disagreeing with my definition of a parable. I thought that you might respect the definition from a more learned and respected person than me. Obviously I was wrong about that. More information from e-Sword Bible...

Albert Barnes' Notes (for Matthew 13:3) says: The word “parable” is derived from a Greek word signifying “to compare together,” and denotes a similitude taken from a natural object to illustrate a spiritual or moral subject. It is a narrative of some fictitious or real event, in order to...
