    Who saw it? When did they see it?

    I cannot adequately answer your question because this is something that I have never really studied or thought about myself. I can, however, offer you a little insight, but that will probably only generate more questions for you while providing no real answers. Earlier in the book of...

    Who saw it? When did they see it?

    Hi, Truly. There are times when the same terminology is used in the Bible (like "begotten," for example), but the intended meanings are different, and that is why context is so important. In this response, I will only focus upon what Jesus said in John 8:51. Jhn 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto...

    Who saw it? When did they see it?

    The reason why so many people stumble over the verse in question is because they do not understand what the Bible means when it talks about "tasting death." Jhn 8:51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Jhn 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we...

    Who saw it? When did they see it?

    “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (Mat. 16:27-28) This...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    The "hell" (hades) of Luke 16 is not the same "hell" (gehenna) of Mark chapter 9. The former is below the earth, and the latter is on this earth. Also, the former will eventually be cast into the latter (Rev. 20:13-14).

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Not quite. As I rightly noted before, when Jesus spoke of unquenchable fire and the worms that die not, he was quoting the following from the prophet Isaiah: "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    You had better do some more reading. This should help: https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2564/a-roman-boys-rite-of-passage/ Here are some pertinent excerpts from the article: The Apostle Paul was a Roman citizen (Acts 22:25-29), and he was very familiar with the Roman customs of his day...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Only in your delusional mind. There is a timeframe of 1000 years between the beast and the false prophet being cast into the lake of fire and Satan being cast into the lake of fire.

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    What a bunch of baloney. In Revelation 20:10, the devil is cast into the same lake of fire that the beast and the false prophet were cast into 1000 years earlier (Rev. 19:20). Learn to be like the Bereans, or change your username.

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    (Continued from my previous post) The third underlying Greek word that is translated into English as "hell" in the KJV of the Bible is "tartaroō:" https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g5020/kjv/tr/0-1/ This word only appears once in the following verse of scripture: 2Pe 2:4 For if God...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    You want some verses about torment? Sure, no problem. First of all, there are three different underlying Greek words that are translated into English as "hell" in the KJV of the Bible that I will be citing. One of them is "hades:" https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g86/kjv/tr/0-1/ Here...

    Is Hell a place of torment?

    Yes, I do. That is precisely what he meant. Apparently, you have no clue as to how much God hates sin and to what lengths we should go to eradicate it from our lives. Are you aware that Jesus was quoting the prophet Isaiah in those verses? Apparently not. You seem to be ignorant (willfully?)...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    That "hokey definition" came from the Apostle Paul in Galatians chapter 4 and Romans chapter 8. Try reading the Bible.

    Doctrine of Predestination

    (Continued from my previous post) Although Christians truly have been "predestinated…unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ" (Eph. 1:5), such is only guaranteed "IF we continue in his goodness: otherwise we also shall be cut off.” In other words, our FREE WILL is directly related to us...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    (Continued from my previous post) Furthermore, Paul's use of the word "earnest" in this portion of scripture refers to a real estate term or to earnest money. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/earnest-money.asp In real estate, when somebody plans on purchasing a building, they will give a...

    Doctrine of Predestination

    One of the biggest plagues in what professes to be modern-day Christianity is that of Calvinism. In a nutshell, which is where the nutjob John Calvin belonged, Calvinism alleges that God predestinated all of us to either heaven or hell before we were even born. In other words, according to...

    what I learned about oneness pentecostalism

    Bye, impenitent heretic. For anybody else who might have been following along, while preaching in Nazareth, Jesus said: Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to...

    what I learned about oneness pentecostalism

    This will be the last time that I bother to acknowledge you unless you recognize and admit your own error. Mat 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. G5547 Jesus is called "Christ" because the word Christ, "christos" in the underlying...
