I believe the "dead know not anything" refers to the dead not knowing anything that takes place here on earth "under the sun". The last phrase of verse 6 speaks of what is done 'under the sun'.. 'Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a...

But you cannot prove that anyone on earth speaks an angelic tongue or that angelic tongues are just ecstatic utterances no man can understand. In 1 Corinthians 13:1 Paul is using a figure of speech, hyperbole. Similar language and hyperbole is found in Galatians 1:8. Here Paul is NOT...

No verse says Judas never believed in Jesus Christ. Matthew 10 is limited commission Jesus gave to His Apostles only including Judas. All Apostles had been given the Holy Spirit therefore were inspired Matthew 10:19-20. No one today has been given this miraculous inspiration ability only the...

The Holy Spirit speaks and teaches men through His written word therefore says the same thing to all men. In the book of Acts when the gospel dispensation began people were taught the word, Peter preached the first gospel sermon, lost men heard, understood and obeyed. No miraculous...

Jude 1:7 the physical cities (houses, buildings) were destroyed by fire and those cities and that fire are gone, but that does not mean the suffering of the souls' of the wicked citizens is also gone. The fire and brimstone that fell on the cities was a foreshadow, a type of the fire and...

you cannot provide any Biblical or objective proof of miracles happening today. Everytime angels speak in the Bible they spoke in known earthly language.

The fact Christ is the same yesterday, ,today and forever does not in anyway mean miracles were to last yesterday and today. The OT law did not last till today, it was taken out of the way and replaced with the NT gospel. Miracles were for a specific purpose and time, that being to bring about...

matthew 25:26 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. the same Greek word is used for 'everlasting' and 'eternal'. if punishment is only temporary then heaven is also temporary. But if eternal life is unending so punishment is unending. 2...

"....seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." it's impossible for them to repent as long as they remain in a state where they continually crucify Christ and continue to put Him to shame. If they would quit crucifying Christ and quit putting Him...

In the context of the book of John only the Apostles were promised the Comforter, no one else. NO one today has inspiration as the inspired writers of the Bible, no one today has all things brought to their remembrance as the Apostles. Many make this claim but no proof. 1 John 2: 24 "As for...

In Ephesians 4:4-6 Paul gives 7 "ones" that make up the very foundation of Christianity and two of those 'ones' are "one faith" and "one body". Therefore the idea of denominationalism comes from man, not God. This 'one faith" is truth (John 17:17) so it never contradicts itself. Luke 8:11 the...

Contextually the words of John 16:13 are being spoken to the Apostles only so they have no bearing on anyone today. The Apostles were promised the Holy Spirit (the Comforter) and this Divine inspiration would guide the Apostles to "all truth". The Holy Spirit would bring to the Apostles...

1) Jesus Christ is the reason one repents 2) both verbs "crucify" and "put" are present tense denoting an ongoing, sustained action. If one continues in a present tense state of crucifying and putting to shame Christ (the reason one repents) then it will be impossible for them to come to...

It can be said the sinner actually sends himself to hell. Romans 2:6-11 Each of us will either choose to serve sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness (Romans 6:16). God will render to each person according to their deeds whether those deeds be obedient to God or disobedient deeds that...

Genesis 4:7 "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Cain had the ability to well or not do well, God says as much Himself. Cain was not 'locked' into only being able to...

Men choose of their own free will to be born again. Therefore those not born again will be their own culpability in judgement and not God's culpability for not 'changing' them so they would want to be born again. 1 Peter 1:22-23 "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through...

Man is not born with a sin nature but is born with free will and the ability to choose to do well or do not well, Genesis 4:7. If man were born with a sinful nature and has to be "changed" in order to be able to choose God, who does the changing? How is it determined which individuals will or...

There is no contradiction. 1) man of his own will cannot save himself apart from God. 2) God saves man but God saves those men who will to be saved John 7:17; Revelation 22:17. There is a difference between 1 and 2. John 1:13 "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor...

Romans 5:19 does NOT say all men are UNCONDITIONALLY condemned no more than it says all men will be UNCONDITIONALLY made righteous. Men conditionally become sinners when they choose to sin. Romans 5:12 does NOT say " so death passed upon all men, for that all have inherited Adam's sin". It...

Yes, the new birth takes place when one is water baptized, then one walks in newness of life (born again) (Romans 6:3-4). John 1:12-13 shows God's role in the new birth, without God there can be no new birth. But to be born again man has to have to be willing to do the will of God (John 7:17)...
