    X-mas makes a mockery of Christ

    I don't care much for the holiday itself, except for my grand-nieces joy. Wasn't Jesus brought gifts, from 3 wise men? Also Paul states "all things are lawful, not all things are beneficial." I don't really listen to many things that I read online. Yahavah, allows people freedom, as long as they...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Many people assume that Souls die. While the mind/will/emotion of a person may die. Even actual death of the body ceasing. It seems to me souls go on. Now to a heavenly realm, some into the Kingdom of God. However, I don't believe what God has given to each and every single person can die...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Yes, Sheol was the place for the dead. Separation from God, because they had yet had their sins paid for in full. That was the Parable that Jesus spoke up about the Rich man and Lazarus. Hell; Ghenna was where people were thrown in an burnt alive, but the Lake of Fire, of God would be quite...

    The Rapture

    I believe that this taking up as already happened, but it was when Yeshua had came back. He took away those who were seeking and searching for them in their heart, and they were taken away at the fall of Jeruslaem. This is just my take, I don't have hope in these things, I just have hope of...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Then you have of course Hell, sometimes wrongly rendered "the grave" and "hell" which correspond to Sheol (HADES), and the verb tartaroo "cast down to hell" in 2 Peter 2:4; signifies to cosign to Tartarus which is neither Sheol, nor hades, nor hell, but the place where those angels whose special...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    You also have hell, which is representive of Gehnna, which was the valley of Tophet, it's found 12 times in the New Testament, eleven of which are in the Synoptists, in every instance as uttered by the Lord Himself. So many times, when Jesus referenced Hell as translated in the King James...

    Heretick. Do They deny the devil exists.

    I believe Satan had been done away with, I believe Satan was represented as Israel before it was completely wiped away as a material nation under God replaced by the Spiritual Heavenly Jerusalem now. When it comes down to who serves who, its between does a person desire in their heart to serve...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    It was Augustine who came up with the idea of a literal burning flaming hell, where people are tortured in this place forever and ever, with their resurrected flesh. However, Sheol is described as dark, sometimes even prison esk. It's similar to being inside of the whale which Jonah was in. That...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @Skovand, You are right. We do, and that is okay. When I normally say hell, I really mean Sheol. I could relate Sheol to Hades.

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    Hello @ProDeo, In life all we have is speculation, thinking, logic, and reasoning. Hopefully the spirit of Yahavah wins out; with faith and love.

    Was Jesus a Literal Son of David?

    Hello @RedFan I believe Joseph and Mary, were both related to David's lineage. That is just my two cents. Yeshua having come from their family, would make Jesus a root of Jesse - Isaiah 11:10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him...

    Where is the Lake of Fire?

    I believe people die to themselves in this life and live to Christ. We are gonna die in our first route, which is death itself, but in a spiritual sense die to ourselves and live for Christ. Romans 6:11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. In the same...
