    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Interesting word usage. I’d say the mocking is from those who take a holy thing — such as God’s resurrection of His Son — and then mix pagan gods & disgusting fertility rights into it. What reasons have ‘since been overcome’? Have you examined non-biased sources discussing these issues? Can...

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Yes, you sure can. Do you think my reply to you — what I posted — was for my benefit? (What you do, doesn’t affect my life, one iota!) It was for yours. “…touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,” Best wishes for you, my cousin.

    Is “Easter” in the original Scriptures?

    Well, then celebrate it with your friends & family, and thank God through prayer. (It was wonderful that God resurrected His Son, our Savior.) But don’t bring Pagan Fertility concepts in to it, w/ bunnies & eggs & false goddesses! What do you think 2 Corinthians 6:17 means, “Don’t touch their...

    God made evil ( proof)

    No, it still doesn’t say “I … created evil.” You should try to learn what God really meant.

    God made evil ( proof)

    Hey! Don’t talk about my Mama! (Do you think you’re evil? Has no one been good to you? Ever? What about your Mother? Just wondering, since you generalized all humans.)

    God created sin

    “God created sin”? Oh grief. No… Deuteronomy 32:4,5. God created all intelligent life-forms with Free Will, the ability to make our own choices, good or bad. All humans are now imperfect because of the choice A&E made. When they rebelled, they became imperfect, and as their descendants, we...

    To Hell and Back - Visiting Gehenna

    Thank you for clarifying this! I thought I misunderstood. I did. Sorry.

    To Hell and Back - Visiting Gehenna

    Wait a minute…. I know this is a little old, but how do you mean this? As a quote? Because I know this isn’t what you believe!

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Wow, that is some information! Since Satan & the demons can’t predict the future, you know what that tells me (us)? That they had some hand in your father’s death! (Hebrews 2:14) They maneuvered events somehow, to cause it. Just like Jesus said at John 8:44, in addition to being “a liar”...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    No, I’m sorry but it’s not ‘Nuff said….these concepts are promoted in the Bible. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, where God tells the Israelites not to attempt ‘consulting with the dead’, with what other actions is it lumped together? Magic, divination, binding others with spells, sorcery… what’s the...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Yes, you could say that: it would be our entire person, including what our body looked like — big, fat, skinny, small — in God’s memory. Didn’t Jesus say, “Even the hairs of your head are all numbered”? Just think of what this means: the personal interest that Jehovah takes in each of us! Now...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Yes. But this is what the Resurrection is for. God could turn stones into life, if He wanted to. It’s our person - our personality - that makes us who we are. And different from each other. But our person isn’t in our spirit; I know a lot of people are fond of using the passage at Eccl.12:7...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    For one thing, one who is resurrected would not be “another” person….it would be the same person. Maybe you meant another body? A “clone”, as you said? Really though, medical science has discovered that about every seven years, our cells are replaced. We are, in essence, “another” body! But...

    When a believer dies, will he be with God as a sentient being right away?

    Interesting way to word that! The most “secure” place for anyone to be, is in God’s memory. According to Ezekiel 18:4,20…. All souls die - we all sin (Romans 3:23) - but God says, “to ME they belong.” Yes, everyone’s future life prospects (including those now dead, whose lives will be...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    1 John 2:18 From this, we understand it’s not just *one* person.

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    Then why bother resurrecting them? (Leave them “impotent in death.” Proverbs 2:18) No, those who are dead in Sheol have been “acquitted / freed from sin.” Romans 6:7. Once a person is acquitted of a crime, they are not still held accountable, are they? EDIT: I may have misunderstood your...

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    What you said, about “all” finding out “one day”…. of course, I believe it will be at the Resurrection, but I agree. When you keep in mind who the Bible says is really controlling the world, at 1John 5:19, Revelation 12:9, et.al., Jehovah is aware of the extent of their influence. Since He’s...

    'Confusion' of What Is Death...

    Regarding A&E and death, what we also should consider is what God did not say. Respecting the eating of that tree’s fruit, God said, “….in the day you eat from it, you will positively die.” That’s it. No comment about, ‘if you do, you’ll be tormented forever (or whatever).’ Don’t you think...
