    The thief on the cross !?

    This is quite an interesting take on the parable my brother, we can agree on much of what has been said howbeit as Bible Students we see it slightly different and I hope to present our view as soon as I am able, but alas I have so many projects on the table right now that time is rather scarce...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 7

    Continuing from our previous post we return to our question, what will be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 6

    The nature of the judgement befalling mankind Our next inquiry, would naturally be, what would be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? Is it something to be feared and dreaded by mankind as many have suggested? Once again let us turn to the scriptures to answer this question...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Your further assertion that, “Christ took all the righteous dead (the OT saints) with Him to Heaven” that “those righteous dead are called "the spirits of just men made perfect" (Heb 12:23) is half right and half wrong. It’s true the Old Testament saints (the Ancient Worthies) are the ones...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Your assertion that immediately following his resurrection our Lord took all the righteous dead (along with the thief) up to heaven completely contradicts the divine testimony. First of all we have the Lord's positive declaration that "no man has ascended up to heaven save he who came down from...

    The thief on the cross !?

    In this you err my friend we are not basing our understanding of the text simply upon the punctuation of the sentence, much more importantly is what does the whole testimony of the Word of God say upon the subject. What do the scriptures teach us in regards to salvation, how and by what means...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. It should be noted that the King James Version does not punctuate Christ's reply correctly—it places the comma before rather than after the word “today”—and thus conveys the thought that Jesus...

    The Great Day of Atonement, Part 1

    There are in fact two viewpoints of the Day of Atonement provided for us in the Scriptures, the first of which is describe in Leviticus Chapter 9 is taken from the standpoint of the flesh, from our viewpoint, while the other as describe in Leviticus Chapter 16 is as these sacrifices are viewed...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 5

    Continued from previous post. We will now examine some more scriptures, which show a differentiation between the judgment of the world and that of the Church, and as to when they take place. In Acts 17:31 it was stated that "…God… hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 4

    The time of the Judgment Let us now look at a seeming contradiction that some imagine implies that the judgment of the world is not in the millennial age, but is taking place now. John 12:31 “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” Most authorities...

    Questions on "Understanding the Judgement" continued

    “For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?” VictoryinJesus asked: Are we not judged by the work of Christ? 1 Pet 4:17 “the end of them that obey not the gospel of God.” What...

    Questions on "Understanding the Judgement"

    VictoryinJesus asked: I’ve read part 1, 2, and 3 and have so many questions. I won’t ask them all here but one that is really bugging me. Maybe I’ve misunderstood but you seem to be saying there are steps one must do to earn grace. There are no steps to earn God’s grace; it is a free gift, an...

    Baptism ?

    You are correct, the Lord was not speaking here in John 3:5 of literal water, he was speaking of the "water of truth", unless you are begotten of the truth and the spirit you shall not enter the kingdom of God. We see then that symbolical water represents truth, and that our begetting of the...
