    Do "good", non-Christians, go to Heaven to be with God when they die or do they remain in the grave awaiting the resurrection?

    Maybe you have the answer by now, but if not, here it is. Hades is not the Lake of Fire ( Hell). Hades and Death itself will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and destroyed at the Great White Throne Judgment. 2 Peter 3:10 describes the same event. If Hades is thrown into the Lake of Fire (which...

    Do "good", non-Christians, go to Heaven to be with God when they die or do they remain in the grave awaiting the resurrection?

    Only physical bodies or what's left (dust) are in the graves, not a person's soul. Christians go directly to heaven: "To be absent the body is to be present with the Lord." Stephen was stoned to death a d he said "Lord receive my spirit". Right now, not in two thousand years. Jesus said to the...

    Azygous Assembly

    OKAY, You understand that The Body of Christ is not called the Israel of God - which is Replacement Theology. You also understand that according to Covenant theology, God is not done with Israel! A remnant population (1/3) will be saved when the fullness of the Gentiles comes in. That is about...

    Judge not? 2 kinds of Sin

    And I would add that when it comes to judging the unsaved, the judgment is likely proportional to the severity of the sin. Hitler being responsible for 20 million deaths would likely receive a more painful punishment than someone who murdered one person. ??? I don't know, maybe they all get...

    Judge not? 2 kinds of Sin

    True, sins against God and murder are on the same list as dishonoring parents, commiting adultery, stealing, bearing false witness, and coveting. But it seems there might be an order of severity in the Ten Commandments, #1 being the worst and then lesser as they go? Obviously Christians may lie...

    Different Scenarios Of Christ's Birth Part 1

    THE BIRTH OF CHRIST September 11th 3 B.C.? By Dr. Craig Johnson If Revelation 12:1-3 is to be interpreted in an astronomical way, then there was only one day in 3 B.C. where the “sun clothed the woman” with the “moon under her feet.” This was from about 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. on September 11, 3...

    The false doctrine of the immortality of the soul.

    And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 10:28 Hades ( and everyone in it and death will _ at the Final White Throne Judgment _ be cast into the Lake of Fire and be destroyed. 2 Peter 3:10 aligns with...

    Bible is finally banned in Utah elementary/middle schools for vulgarity and violence!

    It is not a win for secular society. Sixty years ago they took prayer out of schools. I don"t remember any teacher every teaching from the Bible. Only Catholic schools did that. Public school was about reading, writing, arithmetic, history, science, etc. Religion in the last century was always...

    Immigration is a good thing-----

    2023 Federation of American Immigration Reform Report- key facts: At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion. FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    The truth is you rip Jesus out of all those scriptures.

    What is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8?

    Beelzabub and Abaddon are mentioned in the Bible, demon princes. I have heard of Asteroth and Vishnu but not the others. Since Revelation implies that 200 million demons (locked up in Tartarus) are released during the Great Tribulation, that does not mean there aren't any roaming the world now...

    Salvation by own faith alone: Man saving himself by own will

    It means you are deceived and doomed. You can do nothing good without God. The wages of sin is death, that is the judgment, physical and spiritual death. Can you will yourself to live eternally? Let's see how that fantasy would play out. When you die _ according to you _ you can will your...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Nice angle and shift towards your view but context is important. He is the Creator and He did make the point to the Pharisees that He was greater then the Temple, so that was part and partial to His point, to make a statement of His deity and authority, to put the Pharisees off, denouncing their...

    What is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8?

    Rebellious enemies yes. Gog and Magog are principalities, demon generals of Satan - if you will, sent out to the four corners of the world. Satan, throughout time and currently, has demons in charge of certain areas of the world More prevalent and obvious are areas where evil reigns like...

    Donald Trump says he will be a 'dictator'...

    10 million have come over the border in 3 years. That is more than the population of 41 states. So Biden just added another state filled with people who we don't know, don't speak the language, are breaking the law so we can expect that any law means little them, with their hands out for a free...

    Universal Salvation and Artificial Intelligence

    The Bible clearly teaches two destinations, eternal life and death -destruction of both body and soul in tue Lake of Fire. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". John 3:16 He who believes in the Son has...

    Beware of newcomers, some who are trolls, joining the forum a few days before Christmas _ causing dissension _ attacking your faith _ argumentative ... posting dancing and laughing emojis purposely to mock. Two of them left abruptly and deleted their posts. A Rabbi ... really, using such...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    The Apostle John (being inspired by the Holy Spirit) wrote that book. Jesus was speaking to the Disciples, who were followers, believers, Christians ( a term that came much later). The message goes also out to the world as part of the gospel. Yes the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, but that does...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    The majority of John 14 is speaking to Christians. Vs. 5, Thomas asks a question, vs. 6 Jesus answers him but the message is also to the rest of us. Vs. 8 Philip asks a question, Jesus answers him and the message goes out to all. Vs. 22 Judas asks a question. Vs. 23-31 is a message to all...

    FOR - YOU - WHO - CLAIM - GOD IS YOUR FATHER

    I'm being derogatory, facetious ... that was tongue in cheek comment. Just having some fun. What did Jesus mean by saying pick up your cross and follow me? They knew what the cross represented during the Roman rule. It meant shame and death, suffering. So He told the disciples if you are going...
