    The thief on the cross !?

    “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [Gehenna].” Matt 10:28 This text in no way is meant to imply that man is a combination of body and soul, that man HAS a soul, to the contrary man IS...

    Why does God permit evil?

    “Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? Shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?” (Amos 3:6) Where did evil originate? Is God the author of evil? “The word evil in the text cited has the meaning in the Hebrew language of adversity. These evils or...

    The thief on the cross !?

    You my friend have fallen for Satan first lie, that "thou shall not surely die", you're under the erroneous impression that when a man dies it is only his body that dies, that the soul somehow keeps on existing that it is some separate entity inhabiting the body. A soul is a combination of...

    The thief on the cross !?

    I love it when people talk about things which it is evident they know nothing about it's a quick gauge in determining just how knowledgeable they truly are. First of all Charles Taze Russell was not the founder of the JW's nor do they follow his teachings. Pastor Russel died in 1916 and shortly...

    The thief on the cross !?

    That wouldn't have worked either seeing as his ascension didn't take place until 40 days later. That hardly "today" you will be with me in paradise.

    The thief on the cross !?

    First of all no one said they did not appreciate the work translators did in attempting to divide the scriptures into the various chapters, verses and etc. nor their work at adding proper grammar, punctuation and such, why you jumped to this conclusion so fast I don’t know. I agree that many...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Punctuation is a modern invention, dating from the year 1515 A.D. It is important that we remember that at the time when the Holy Scriptures were compiled there was no such thing as proper grammar, that is as we have it today, the used of sentencing structure, paragraph divisions, punctuation's...

    The Great Day of Atonement, Part 3

    The Second Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Lord’s Goat” “And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.” (Lev 16:7, 8)...

    The Great Day of Atonement, Part 2

    The First Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Bullock” “Thus shall Aaron (The High Priest) come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering…” (Lev 16:3) “Be it noted that our Lord Jesus was typified both by the bullock and the priest; that the bullock represented him as the man...

    The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 2

    “Lazarus represented the God-fearing people of other nations (the Gentiles) debarred, until the close of the Jewish Age, from those blessings conferred upon Israel specially. As the linen represented Israel's justification, so the sores represented moral defilement in this class, for whose...

    The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 1

    “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 9

    The Book of Life “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 In our previous post we determined that the first set of books which were...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 8

    Under what law shall mankind be judged? “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 We will need to break this scripture apart in order...

    No, not the Bible says, but you say my friend, there is a big difference.

    The thief on the cross !?

    “We are not to get the erroneous idea as you suggest here that the Lord at his Ascension led up to heaven a multitude of captives who previously had been in death. The captives are still dead; they are still in the prison house. The time has not yet come for the Great Redeemer to fulfill toward...

    The thief on the cross !?

    The perfection of the OT saints does not take place until AFTER the Church as a whole is complete, as one body and has received its reward first, as they are the bestowals of all the subsequent blessings given to the world including those which the OT saints will receive. It is not simply when...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Where you make your mistake here my friend is in the assumption that this was a done deal, the Apostle is not speaking of something which is presently here, but is pointing down to the end, or consummation, of this Age, to the finished picture. “The context indicates that at the end of this Age...

    The thief on the cross !?

    As we had stated in our previous reply we agree, “the spirits of just men made perfect” does indeed refer to the Old Testament saints (the ancient worthies), however they have not yet received their reward of being “made perfect”, as is attested to by the scripture you quoted from Heb 1:39, 40...

    The thief on the cross !?

    The thread was basically hijacked like so many others, nevertheless sometimes you have to follow the thread where it leads you. Of course the moderators could simply transfer the new line of discussion (The Rich man and Lazarus) to a new thread if that would help.
