    Spotting the Deceivers.

    I disagree, Judas Iscariot who is the son of destruction knew the truth. He knew Jesus to be the Christ the son of the living God but he allowed himself to be deceived to care more about money, because he let greed rule him. He lost his Eternal life, so a person can learn the truth be baptized...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Surely you not saying that the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ didn't experience death. When they died they lay in the memorial tomb sleeping in death until the second presence of Jesus Christ which is when they will be resurrected from death (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)

    Spotting the Deceivers.

    A story than ran in the New York Post August 25, 1977 page two said, "THE “Son of Sam” killer terrorized New York city residents for more than a year, killing six random victims and wounding several others. Yet the person accused of the crime reportedly had been “saved” at a church meeting...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Just because a person quotes Jesus doesn't me they understand accurately what Jesus was saying. Anybody can quote Jesus.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    What is death Jack? Isn't it, the cessation of all functions of life, so, the opposite of life? (Deuteronomy 30:15, 19) Isn't it true that the Bible has the same original-language words for “death” or “dying” and are applied to humans, animals, and plants? (Ecclesiastes 3:19; 9:5; John 12:24...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    That's because I don't answer insulting questions. All someone wants to do is argue, when they ask questions in an insulting manner. I can understand someone disagreeing with me. Now if you had simply disagreed with me, instead of making insults when you asked, "how long did kingdom Hall...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You can accuse all you want. Seems that's the way it is with you.You accuse people when they disagree with you, so be it. Just let's me know that you don't think people have the right to disagree with you.

    I believe you're the one who's following the wide road to eternal destruction Jack.

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I didn't say at any time that God tortures people, I don't believe God is such a person. I asked a question, "Is it those that believe God tortures a unrighteous person for eternity or those that believe God punishes the unrighteous person with eternal death the ones who believes in a loving and...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    You said you agreed with Jesus. But I was just letting you know that just because you quote scripture doesn't mean you're reasoning on the scriptures you quoted correctly. Like I said there are people who honestly believe themselves to be Christians who are not Christians. These people can quote...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Is it those that believe God tortures a unrighteous person for eternity or those that believe God punishes the unrighteous person with eternal death the ones who believes in a loving and merciful God? I know most human beings don't believe in torturing a another human being. Those that do...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I know you believe that you're agreeing with Jesus. I know however that the scriptures say that there will be people on this earth that will honestly believe they're Christians and the things they're doing they will believe they're doing a sacred service to the True God.(John 16:2) So just...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    I'm saying you and I disagree. You're not going to dictate to me that I have to agree with you. You can make all the accusations you want that I'm rewriting your Bible because I disagree with you, but all that teaches me about you is that you will make accusations when someone disagrees with...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    The expression, "weeping and gnashing of teeth," has the idea of anguish, despair, and anger, possibly accompanied by bitter words and violent action. So when someone tries to apply this expression to mean these who are thrown outside(Matthew 8:12) and are in literal pain from being in torment...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Too many people see the word torment and they immediately think God is this person who tortures people. I know many people agree with what some commentators have said when they pointed to Biblical instances of the word “torment” to support the teaching of eternal suffering in fire. However...

    The answer of hell and its origins

    Well I believe Hell is just an English word that replaced the Greek word Hades. Hades was a Greek word that replaced the Hebrew word Sheol and Sheol is the place where all the dead went and slept in death waiting a resurrection. So when it comes to the Hebrew word Sheol the Greek word Hades and...

    Why do Christians ignore Matthew 5:23-24

    Hopefully even if a Christian is disfellowshipped, he/she will eventually snap themselves out of such a unrepented sinful course and get themselves reinstated back into the congregation. They of course would have to show the elders that they have repented of their sinful course.

    Why do Christians ignore Matthew 5:23-24

    Another word for this is disfellowshipping. This is done when a Christian who has committed a gross sin, and is unrepented. For example, A Christian woman/man who is married having an affair but refuses to stop the affair after been caught in the affair. Now disfellowshipping is a last resort...
