Again you miss the point of Jesus asking for this….what was the “cup” that Jesus willingly accepted in the beginning, that troubled him so much at the end? Was it the death he knew must take place to atone for the sins of mankind?…..or was it something that tore at his heart even more than his...

Those who hate God and despise any kind of restraint to their carnal wants….they do not know the love of God and do not want to know it. They serve God’s adversary openly and happily. Would you want to share life with those people? Who could look forward to such a life? Why would it be any...

What is the flip side to a dispassionate robot? An overeactive emo…..justice does not have feelings. Sentiment does not govern anything connected to the implementation of Gods justice. It is dispassionate because it is pure, not corrupted or watered down by emotions. Does the Bible record show...

Looking at the precedents of the early servants of God, (judging by the recorded genealogies) only the men are mentioned…..so where do you get the idea that men lived a lot longer than women? It doesn’t say. It tells us how old Adam was when he died, but not Eve. It is also interesting to...

There is no ”spirit person”…there is only the physical “soul” that is you, breathing……when breathing stops, you die. Dead means dead…..it doesn’t mean another kind of “alive in another realm”. Jews were never taught that a spiritual entity that was in them, left the body at death to go...

You seem to like doing that…. God already told us what the long term plan was…..he created the material Universe in one almighty act of his power, and in one small section of the Universe was a little galaxy known as the Milky Way….in a tiny portion of that galaxy, was a solar system with one...

Can we understand that the instrument used to put the son of God to death is relatively unimportant unless we want to make an idol of it. What was God’s command…..? “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under...

That required a lot of tap dancing on your part to convince yourself that you don’t really die…..the devil has won. Did it ever occur to you that there is a large army of Satan’s minions who have capabilities of influencing the minds of human beings? Can these spirits invade the thinking of a...

There is no scripture that says “the soul lives on” after death. This is a satanic lie…”you surely will not die” was the first lie…and is still widely believed, even though the Bible has no mention of it. There is not one single verse in the Bible that speaks about an “immortal soul” surviving...

Don't we first have to identify what the term “Jew” meant to the first century followers of Christ? Did Jesus himself identify as a Jew? To the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus first identified himself as Messiah. When Jesus asked her for a drink , she said to him…. “How is it that you...

It could be considered if first of all, this was not a happily married Jewish couple who viewed having children as a blessing from God, therefore Jews usually had large families. Psalm 127:3-5…. ”Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand...

Or satan has some excellent land to sell you at the North Pole…right next door to Santa Claus…. If you knew the beliefs of the ones to whom the Scriptures were originally written, (especially the Jews, since Jesus and all of his apostles were Jewish) and the meanings of the original language...

Context is what is missing by quoting only the words you have….I have dealt with this mistaken understanding many times… To whom is this addressed? Paul says…”Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, (adelphos) to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who...

Since Peter warned his fellow Christians about the devil seeking to devour us as his prey, as stated above to @Wrangler… we cannot let our guard down. The apostle John wrote…. “We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” I do not see where...

It appears that we were talking at cross purposes…..I understood the question to mean that the devil has been defeated in the world, as the Bible says he will be dealt with by God in his due time. Peter warned that the devil is like a lion seek prey, so a Christian who lets down their guard is...

No…..animals do not “have” souls….like humans they “are” souls. Since the Bible does not teach that a soul is an entity living in a body but is the fully functional, living, breathing creature…..all these “creatures” are called “souls” (nep̄eš) in the Bible. In the creation account, in many...

Can I ask you why you believe this? Is there scriptural backing for this idea? As a devoted Bible student, I have never seen this defeat….except spiritually, in the case of those who have defeated the devil in their own life…but it doesn’t make him go away…any more than it did when he tempted...

Please show us in the Bible where God offered everlasting life to creatures other than human beings? Are animals made in God’s image? Did they sin? Does Jesus sacrifice cover them so that they are redeemed out of their sins and given a resurrection to overcome their death? On what basis do you...

I am content with nothing less….this is what deep Bible study gives you….answers, not doubts.

I have, and I grew up with all those beliefs that made no sense to me…..that’s why my beliefs come from Scripture alone, not simply Christendom’s contradictory explanation of it. The Bible explains itself if we stop allowing human errors to color our own view. As Jesus says…in John 6:44...
