Really? The rich man in the parable of Luke 16:19-31 had brothers living, yet he was still being tormented. There is such a thing in this present world as being remanded in custody, and '.....The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust under punishment...

It's not banning you need so much as the men in white coats.

If the Doctrine of eternal punishment is lost, the Doctrine of the cross will also be lost. If hell is too extreme, if God is unjust to inflict eternal punishment, then the cross is too extreme, and our Lord's sufferings too great for what we are being saved from. If annihilation is the penalty...

Ah! So the Holy Spirit made an error putting that bit in the Bible. Got it!

I am in the new covenant, praise God, and a browse through 2 Corinthians 3 should convince you that you are. Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, is a minister of the new covenant. As for the N.C. being made with Israel, '..We are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ...

Are you denying the truth of Luke 24:39? Did the Lord Jesus depart visibly? Bodily? Yes indeed, the 'heavens will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat,' but nonetheless, 'we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which...

Everything God does is 'spriritual' but when our Lord ascended to heaven it was in a body that was 'Flesh and bones' (Luke 24:39). We are told that our Lord will return in 'like manner' to the way He left. 1. He left in a body; He will return in that same body. His departure was physical; so...

That is what I said. That is correct. Sorry! :oops: I meant to write that it did not follow that any particular Israelite should be an ancestor of the Messiah. Any individual Israelite might be childless. My point was that the Abrahamic Covenant is never described as applying to anyone...

‘And [Abraham] received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also’ Rom 4:11). First we should note...

If you knew anything about history you would know that to have two contemporary sources reporting the same event in a similar way is regarded as reliable evidence. You will know that there are no fewer than four Gospels, plus the Apostles Paul and Peter, and the writer to the Hebrews, reporting...

With respect, you have misunderstood my earlier post which may be my fault for not being clearer. In Matthew 4:5-6, Satan tempts our Lord to throw Himself down from the Temple, trusting that the Father will save Him. The Lord Jesus replies that one should not put God to the test. It seems to me...

That is Satan's argument in Matthew 4:5-8. Our Lord's response: "It is written again, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test."

Actually not God's Words about Israel but His Words about Abraham. Galatians 3:7. 'Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.' Philippians 3:3. 'For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no...

What is your point??? I had life insurance all the time my family were dependent on me, but I never died. Did I not need it? Should I have gambled on my family's future and not taken it out?

This is such nonsense. My parents took the flu jab for years. Result: they never got flu. Side effects: Zero. I put off having the flu jab for years, just because I don't like needles, but I finally decided to have it this year. Result: I didn't get flu, though maybe I wouldn't have done...

I never use the word 'heresy' on a discussion forum, but the doctrine has no Biblical backing. The word 'Father' does not appear here. It is the Triune God who delivered up and then raised God the Son. Not sure what you're trying to prove here. Again, there is no mention of the 'Father'...

No siree! This is the ancient error of Patripassionism. God indeed became Man, but it was not God the Father who did so. There is a 'threeness' to God as well as a 'oneness.' There are three Persons in the Trinity and one of them became Man.

I have no such hypothesis. Read my post again.

Well, you'd better hope your Judge is also your Advocate or you're in big trouble. Psalm 1:5. 'The ungodly shall not stand in the judgement.' but Christ 'justifies the ungodly' (Romans 4:5). The very purpose of His coming into the world was to save them (1 Timothy 1:15) and He did this by dying...

As I said earlier, I was reluctant to go off-topic, but since the thread has now gone off in all directions, OK. Yep! That's in the Bible, so it must be true. However, it can't contradict Romans 8:1; John 20:31, 1 John 5:13 or a load of other similar texts. 'He [Christ] Himself bore our sins...
