n2thelight I am certainly not in any way sensitive to this subject. This is part of life, and 30% of my friends on facebook are widowed, and we talk about this kind of stuff a lot. An old friend just joined that widowed segment of the group a few days ago, and that is a new challenge for me...

Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I have read a number of books on NDE (near-death experiences) which I have enjoyed. By far, the best I have found is "Imagine Heaven" by Pastor John Burke. This book has been on the NY Times bestseller list, selling over 500,000 copies. He...

n2thelight >> You and I are traveling a much different path. My beloved wife went home 4 years ago, and I no longer have the stamina to even attend a church service. And I have wondered, what purpose has been served by my intensive study of Scripture over the past for 65 years. It now all seems...

I have already read it and quoted it. All the same words are still there. Were you trying to make a point?

n2thelight says >> "The flesh body must die and be buried in the ground, for no where is it recorded that a flesh body will resurrection from the dead." And that is where your train comes off the tracks. Scripture says a whole lot about the resurrection of the body. How about "So Jesus then...

Okay Grassy, I realize you had stopped speaking the English language from inception. That is the first step in promoting a new un-Biblical cult. And for sure you will be able suck in the terminally ignorant and ungodly to follow your cult. And I respect your concession admitting defeat, that...

Nancy, while I was weaned on the KJV, but in my latter years, have embraced the NASB, the translation that is embraced by most credible scholars as the most respected literal translation, which is under constant review by the Lockman Foundation. But I find other 'versions', not translations...

Nope! Pennies are no longer valid currency in Canada. I have to wear a crash helmet! :-)

Jesus' actions were directed at no other than those who were desecrating the one Holy Place God had established as a meeting place between God and man. The temple contained the Holy of Holies, which could only be entered by the High Priest once a year to communicate with God, and obtain...

Okay, I accept your spanking. :-) But of course I do not believe your interpretation is correct.

Enoch>>"But that does not mean that there is no intelligent hard work necessary." You are adding something to Scripture that Scripture does not say!! Don't do that! From personal experience, I have great wealth, and it certainly did not come from intelligence or hard work. I see it as only a...

The NIV is NOT a translation! It is just a paraphrase, and a bad one at that. It's target audience are those low-IQ types who bow at the altar of gender-neutral political correctness.

I am a rather simple kind of guy, and the meaning to me is simple. The subject is the 'soul' and 'death' is the end of the life of a person or organism, and that satisfies my need, and for me, it is not in need of further investigation.

Interesting, but an alternate POV would suggest that the soul and spirit are already divided entities, the soul and the spirit. This passage does not suggest that the Word divides such entities. The Word does not divide and separate such entities, and does not pierce anything other than the...

An interesting viewpoint, but if they are merely one entity, then there would be no purpose in designating them as two entities??

Although the Bible says "the soul that sins will die", I believe the spirit is an eternal entity, but that's just my opinion. But I don't recall the Bible ever saying that the spirit that sins shall die. So I have nothing useful to offer. I have only started to wonder about the difference...

Grace, I really don't have the time nor inclination to debate this nonsense with you. Murder is merely the unlawful taking of life, and you haven't provided a scrap of Scriptural authority forbidding abortion, so I am content that abortion is not an issue with God, because if it was, He would...

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die" Ezekiel 18:20 a reiteration of Ezek 18:4 "The soul who sins will die." "When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness . . he will die." Ezek 18:26 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our...

Marks, am most encouraged by Grailhunter's attack. When Satan launches such an attack via his servants, I must be doing something so awesomely right that I have made Satan angry!! And Grailhunter's post bore the familiar characteristics of the accuser of the brethren: "And I heard a loud...

godsgrace says>> "Wonderful post I do hope Stan B sees it." Yes gracie, I saw it, and if you think a hate-mongering piece of filth like this is "wonderful", that tells me all I need to know about you and your cult that embraces the dark side. I am familiar with false teachers. It is a great...
