My mistake, I meant to post John 5:28,29 where it says the wicked will have a "resurrection of judgment." In verse 29, it seems that the term judgment is used in the sense of a process of evaluation and probation or as one Greek lexicon says a "scrutiny of conduct." Those who receive "a...

OK, thank you for your explanation. This "judgement" you mention; you are right. And God is very merciful. With that in mind, when you get time read Acts 24:15... the "resurrection of judgement" for the "unrighteous", try to tie that in with Romans 6:7. I'll come back on here tomorrow because...

But hell is not Gehenna. So although hell is only temporary (see Revelation 20:13,14...'hell is cast into the Lake of Fire'), Gehenna ie., the Lake of Fire, is forever!

So, what you are promoting is, really, it doesnt matter what we do. Ultimately. Do I understand you right?

And just a few verses later, John states: "No one has seen God AT ANY TIME." (Did not thousands see Jesus?) So, which rendering - "the Word was God" or "the Word was a god / god=like" fits the context?

if this, ie., your understanding of this verse, were true -- that they were going to stone Jesus for blasphemy -- but Jesus got away from them.... then why didn't they stone Him, the next time they saw him? I mean, the very next chapter, John 9, shows Jesus freely walking among the Jews and the...

You show so much patience! I just don't have that much, toward those who are arrogant and unwilling to reason; either unwilling, or incapable (due to their current spiritual blindness). 2 Corinthians 4:4 But as you point out, maybe for others who will read your rational responses, it will...

Yes. These were the "angels that sinned" Peter spoke of, at 2Peter 2:4; Jude called them "angels which forsook their proper dwelling place" (Jude 1:6), an apt description. Well, ultimately, He didn't; He put a stop to it, with the Flood. Such an occurrence explains why the Flood was global...

Yes, that fish's belly was going to be Jonah's grave. (Sheohl; hell). No fires there!

Whose name do you mean? Certainly not those to whom God grants everlasting life.

"no further reward"? Everlasting life, on a Paradise Earth with peace everywhere (Isaiah 11:9), will be awesome!! This is "the gift God gives... through Christ". -- Romans 6:23; see Revelation 21:3,4 Best wishes.

This is where we need to reason on things. Jesus said this to whom? The Pharisees. Would the Kingdom of God really have been "in" them? No... they hated Jesus. Rather, Jesus, as God's designated King of that Kingdom, was there 'in their midst.' Standing 'among' them.

You mean the Fire that "death and Hell are cast into"? (Revelation 20:13.14) How can you burn death or Hell?

We have Amazon's Alexa which is AI too. And some of the conversations I have with it .... from evolution to God's Kingdom w? Christ & His brothers ruling .... are fantastic!! He (Alexa) has actually confirmed that my understanding of evolution, explains / fits the evidence better than the...

I was hoping you'd look it up. But just like before, you ignore the question. Have a good day.

Man, you worship one FIENDISH God! How is "death and Hell thrown /cast into the Lake of Fire"? You really don't understand, like the millions in christendom. Yet you're so sure! Amazing

What about Psalm 115:16 & Isaiah 45:18? Get rid of wicked people (Psalm 37:10,11) & no more death (Revelation 21:3,4), living on this Earth would be great! It will be! No more fear, even animals will be at peace w/ men! -- Isaiah 11:6-9

No. they did not. (Jesus' statement @ John 8:58, the Pharisees understood to be the answer to their question "You are not yet 50 years old, and yet you have seen Abraham?" Jesus was answering 'Yes'. That's why they picked up stones to stone Him ... Jesus was saying He was over 1800 years old...

Please look at the surrounding verses of those Scriptures you quoted. Many times, just the immediate context (maybe the chapter the quoted verse is in) will reveal a different aspect, even contradictory, to the idea being proposed.The differing concepts need to agree, to ensure we have an...

Where in Scripture does it say this?
