    No-one has gone to heaven?

    Now you are attempting to use a parable to justify your position. The Lazarus in the parable has nothing to do with the real Lazarus whom the Lord raised from the dead.

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    None of these verses you quoted imply that immediately upon death you go to heaven, where do you get this idea? Confusion on this issue is to be laid at the feet of the blind guides of Christendom, ministers who preach of the resurrection on Sunday and then on Tuesday while giving a eulogy for...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    As we tried to explain in Post # 13
  4. Harvest 1874

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    Judgement does indeed begin with the house of God, it began with its Head our Lord Jesus Christ and has continued to take place amongst his true followers (the saints) all these past 2000 plus years, such are presently on trial for life or death while the rest of mankind will come into judgement...

    No-one has gone to heaven?

    A distinction here should be made between the dead in Christ who are raised incorruptible and the rest of the dead of mankind not yet reconciled with God. The dead of the world will still be susceptible to sin and to failures in the kingdom, but they will be under the New Covenant arrangement...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    Adam was never immortal nor did he ever posses such by eating from the tree of life, God alone was the only immortal being at the time of Adam's creation (possessing inherent life, self existence, a life not dependent on any outside source). Adam on the other hand was reliant upon the great...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 12

    Will the ancient worthies be in relationship with God during the millennial age? “Yes, the ancient worthies will be in covenant relationship with God through the New Covenant, through the Mediator of the New Covenant, throughout the millennial age; but they will not be in any personal, direct...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 11

    Were the Ancient Worthies on trial for life? “The Ancient Worthies were not on trial for life or death; they were never brought to that condition of intelligent opportunity for eternal life which would make them amenable to a sentence of death. Such a condition of knowledge and opportunity did...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 10

    Now from our previous post we understand that the nation of Israel is to be God’s specially chosen agency through whom the rest of the world may receive restituional blessings, but whom precisely will govern? Who will be the Lord’s earthly representatives, the ones speaking for the Lord...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    3) What is it about their resurrection that is going to be any different from future resurrections (i.e. from the resurrection of the rest of the world)? The OT saints having previously been approved of God, "having obtained a good report" (Heb 11:39)--their trial having already taken place, it...

    OT saints are they saved ?

    Our friend asks: 1) Were the OT saints saved through their faith in God even as we are saved through our faith in Christ? What say the scriptures? In James 2:23 it states: “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” Does this...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 9

    How exactly will the other nations who survived Armageddon receive the same blessing as the “holy remnant” of Israel is receiving? “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS (when the earthly phase of the kingdom is established) ten men (representing all other nations of the earth that will...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 8

    As you recall in Part 6 of our study it was suggested that: “Restitution blessings (the restoring of all things, Acts 3:19-21) will begin with the generation living at the time of the inauguration of the Mediator's Kingdom. Who specifically will these consist of? This would encompass all who...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 7

    Heavens first law is order “For as all in Adam die, even so shall all in Christ be made alive, but each one in his own order: Christ the first-fruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming (parousia: presence).” 1 Cor 15:22, 23 As ALL of Adam’s posterity were counted in as sharers in...

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 6

    MUST ADAM FIRST BE REDEEMED? Accepting the Scriptural presentation that "By one man's disobedience sin entered into the world, and death as a result of sin, and thus death passed upon all men, for that all are sinners" (Rom. 5:12-19); accepting also the declaration of Scripture, "As by man came...

    The Study of Revelation, Part 104

    Revelation Chapter 6 The First Seal continued VERSE 1 and 2 “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given...

    Revelation Chapter 6 The First Seal continued VERSE 1 and 2 “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.

    The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New Covenant, Part 5

    BAPTIZED INTO MOSES--BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST If the Church is to be members of the great Mediator, why is not Israel, who was baptized into Moses, (1 Cor. 10:1, 2) thus, made members of the Mediator of the Law Covenant? The Divine arrangement which used Moses, Aaron, the tribe of Levi and all...
