    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 6

    Luke 16 (NKJV) We continue now with Verses 24-26 of the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus. For the sake of argument we are taking a look at this parable from the prospective of those who insist that it is to be taken literally to determine whether it be sound and scriptural. Thus far in our...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    God does not draw men out of fear, he draws them out of love. No one could honestly love someone whom they feared. They may fringe love, but it would not be true love, and He who reads the heart would see right through it. Know this for a fact that all those who believe in this God-dishonoring...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Stay the course my sister, remember our Lord's words to fact that the darkness hates the light, i.e. error hates the truth because it exposes it for what it is. We are but lights upon a hill and are to let our lights shine out into the darkness even though we know the darkness does not...

    Failed Prophecies

    I would not go so far as to call him an idiot, just a misguided and deluded prophet, no more or less than the others mentioned. Most were more science fiction writers than they were prophets (teachers) of the Lord. Yes its true it would not be biblical to make a “prediction” per say, a mere...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Sometimes you just have to brush the dust off your feet and move on. It is not for us to give the eye to see nor the ear to hear, only the Lord can do that. All we can do is pity those who are still held in bondage to Babylon, and pray that the Lord's kingdom come soon that they might be freed.

    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 5

    Luke 16 (NKJV) As stated we believe our Lord’s statements in regards to the Rich man and Lazarus to be a parable, a FIGURATIVE portrayal of events, however some are still insistent upon believing it to be a LITERAL portrayal of events. With this in mind we should like to consider our next verse...

    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 4

    Luke 16 (NKJV) Having in our previous posts taken a look at the first four verses of our parable (Verses 19-22) both from the literal perspective as well as the parabolic perspective we are now ready to examine Verses 23-26. Once again in order to prove that this is a parable we must first show...

    Failed Prophecies

    Don't forget our old friend Harold Camping who predicted the rapture to take place May 21, 2011

    I notice that you are too lazy to read our answers, therefore we will no longer waste consecrated time on you as we see no profit in it, but will allow you to continue in the delusion which you have chosen for yourself.

    We explained these passages before, but it appears it was beyond your comprehension barring the fact that your eyes are closed and you only see as the creeds so teach.

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Likewise the Apostle states " So also is THE resurrection (the Chief or First resurrection) of THE dead (in Christ, the elect). The body (the soul, the being) is sown, in corruption (a fleshly, animal body), it is raised in incorruption (In immortality)." 1 Cor 15:42 "It" is the soul that is...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    How did you ever arrive at this conclusion? I think you need to do a little more study on the subject of parables and how they are presented.

    Unfortunately the wrong answer, nothing more than the vain babblings of men.

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Simple question.. CAN YOU ANSWER [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. How IS Abraham, WHOSE BODY IS DEAD and buried IN A CAVE, "IN HELL, SPEAKING TO...

    The Rich man and the Beggar, Part 3

    Luke 16 (NKJV) In our previous post we considered what the implication would be if we were to have considered these verses as literal statements, now we shall like to see the true meaning of these verses hidden by the Lord from the worldly wise through the use of metaphors and figurative...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    There are various types of figurative language which one may employ to teach a lesson such as using metaphors, similes, hyperbole's, symbolism and other various allusions all with the intention of alluding to something without directly stating it, and so it was with our Lord when he spoke in...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Well said, unfortunately not all can see this truth, but are left to their own imaginings and those of other men. As is usually the case one error befalls another (the belief in the immotailty of the soul) leads to the next error the belief that the wages of sin is eternal torment and so it is...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    In your last sentence here you add to the word of God, God did not say that he formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living, body AND soul.' You are attempting to force you preconceived notions on what exactly a soul consist of...

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    It is the body, the organism which came from the dust of the earth, you the being, the soul did not come into existence until the breath of life was infused in the organism only then when the two were combined did you become a living soul.

    Is Hell worse for Some?

    Thank you for the compliment. However I get the impression you are assuming (erroneously I might add) that I believe ALL our Lord’s teachings to be parables, symbolic or figurative in nature that is not the case the Lord taught many truths as plain as day so that anyone of a sound mind could...
