Sorry t dissapoint you but I'm afraid we're not he same person, nor do we even know one another and we don't always agree. I'm sure you could chekc with the admin or mods. Pax Domini vobis cum

Well said Foreigner! Thats sumbs things up i a nutshell.

That was my point as it stands to all reason that the soul is immortal, but should it live forever in bliss praising God or permenantly shut out from God and forced to endure everlasting torment.

You can't help a bird landing on your head but you can stop it from making a nest. Everyone is tempted to sin and thinks things that they shouldn't but only if you indulge these thoughts do you sin..

The Hell you get for example in Dante's Divine comedy is ony a temporary place to punish evil does before the last judgement. THose who died before Jesus' time went there and when Jesus died he went down and took the virtuous there like Abraham, Moses, Solomon, David, Noah and Adam and Eve all...

if the soul was not immortal then how could there be an afterlife that goes on forever. Also, if going to Hell means the soul dies then how come it experiences unimaginable torments. Does the soul have a soul?

We've moved forward and they're still living in the middle ages. Chrsitians such terribly in Muslim countries and can't even build new churches or have processions or use bells. They can't have good jobs and are heavily taxed. Officially the authorities say that CHristians should be protected...

Veteran! I agree with your post but for one point. The Russians havn't been commies for 18 years, their mostly gangsters now.

To buid a mosque there would be a dreadful slur on the memories of those people who died in 9/11 and a grave travesty.

All things come from God except evil. God gave his Angels and humans free will and free will created evil. God made Lucifer or Samael or whatever you want to call him (he has plenty of names) proud and headstrong. Lucifer did not have to rebel against God, he could have supressed his jealousy...

That's one kind of temptation I suppose.

Free will created the devil. od made men and angels with free will. Lucifer was the top angel but he was arrogant and headstrong. God commanded that he pay home age to Adam and he refused and got a 3rd of the angels on his side. They made war on God and St Michael threw them down to earth...

I know this is going off slightly but I'd like to know why God was pleased with Abel's offering but not Cain''s.

It has just occoured to me that if Cain and Abel were born outside of the Garden of Eden then they might not be Adam and Eve's first children. Genesis 3:16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be...

That's a good point. Thoise geneologies only recount direct lineages, they don't have offshhots. Let's not also forget that there is enmity between the woman adnthe serpent so why would Eve become the lover of the erpent/devil. One other thing of course is that we don't know for sure if the...

The devil doesn't go around tempting right up until judgement day. He gathers his army and goes to war, then he gets defeated and is thrown into the lake of fire. Before all that the devil is forced to spend 1,000 years in the abyss while Christ sets up a kind of temporary kingdom on earth...

So did Lamech kill him or did he die in the flood? Even let's say if Cain is alive today i couldn't call what he has eternal life because there will be a day of judgement so his life on earth would have limit to it. The sentence on Cainw as that he would be banished to wodnering and nobody...

Cain's lien is an offshoot. When Adam's geneology is recalled it recounts Seth's line. That doesn't mean Cain wasn't Adanm's son. Abel didn't have any recorded chioldren (he might ahve had some we don't know). Cain has his own line and there really is no reason to regard him as not being...

That's Seth's geneology so why woudl Cain be in it. Cain has his own. Caion and Abel were both sons of Adam and Eve. There is a legend that Cain was the son of Adam and Lillith but I'd discount that since we don't believe in Lillith.

Septugent - 7 books between the old and new testament including Maccobees 1 and 2 and Tobit as wellas the extensions on Daniel and Esther. Apocrypha books that didn't make it into the Bible (some is old Testament and some New) Where is the Septugent in the Jerusalem Bible?
