It wasn’t abolished… please read the Apostle Paul’s words at 1 Corinthians 15:6 & 1 Thessalonians 4:15. This idea of ‘the dead living on’, that concept really negates any need for the promised future resurrection. — Acts 24:15. Take care, cousin.

2 Timothy 4:3,4, eh? Jehovah had prophesied the extent of influence Satan would have on this world (Rev.12:9). I enjoyed the January 18th daily text regarding the resurrection of those not worshipping Jehovah. You can’t help but appreciate His love for people…. After all, Jehovah - and Jesus...

Exactly. If the dead “lived” on in “some other realm”….there would be no need for the future Resurrection, ie., God’s promise to bring them back to life. Amazing how many don’t understand that. Much of the Bible’s truth is quite simple. Hope you are well.

If after death, someone is being tormented forever, they have to be aware of it. That is life…. Isn’t it? To be aware is to be conscious; to be alive. Yet life is a gift — “…the gift God gives is everlasting life” (Rom 6:23) — not a punishment. Death is the opposite of life, an unawareness of...

Why believe that “spirits” can literally be hurt by fire, anyways? Remember the three Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego (who faced Nebuchadnezzar)? They were thrown into the furnace, but an Angel was sent to save them. The fire didn’t hurt them. The Lake of Fire in Revelation 20:13,14...

Is that what Jesus literally meant? That he was the Father? So Jesus was praying to himself in John 17? And when Jesus said (as he was dying), “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me”, he really meant, “Me, me, why have I forsaken me?” If you still think Jesus literally meant he was the...

Welcome!

Thank you for the “like” rating, my cousin. Hope you and yours are doing well.

Thank you for those ratings, I appreciate it! From your cousin (somewhere along the line, we are cousins.) Best wishes.

So, by calling himself “God’s son”, that makes Jesus equal with God? Then would you say Luke 3:38, where it says Adam was “son of God”, that makes Adam equal with God?

What would have happened if God hadn’t sent Jesus? John 3:16 says, “For God loved the world so much, that He gave His only-begotten son.” If God hadn’t sent him, Jesus couldn’t have come. First off, my cousin, you didn’t answer my question: exactly Who was Jesus praying to, calling Him “My...

Nice reasoning & solid conclusions! You’ve certainly done a lot of research & meditation! It has actually helped me. Thank you for describing those differences. You display a very humble & modest attitude, also. It’s refreshing.

Man, this is so true! But I would like to add one point, and that’s the importance of Jesus’ words @ Luke 10:21… If we don’t have His Father’s approval, our efforts to understand will be for nothing! See Matthew 7:21-23

Who? Jesus?! Then please tell us, exactly Who was Jesus praying to, when He said, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Himself? In John 17, again, Who was Jesus praying to? It was His Father; and in vs.3, Jesus referred to his Father as “the only True God”, then separately mentioned...

Yes, you’re right. If you notice regarding death & Hell @ Revelation 20:14…. “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” You can’t torment death. So what is this Lake of Fire? It represents getting rid of things forever. Whatever is “thrown in” there, is...

Hold on, no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater! Now, regarding organic changes, / adaptation / evolution / mutation, let’s reason on what the Bible really says…. What does Genesis 1:29 and 30 tell us about “all green plants”? Now the question: can humans and animals eat “all green...

Happy for you both. Our relationships are some of the most valuable things in life. Take care, my cousin.

‘On whose authority’, about what? If you meant about John 1:1 rendered, “….and the Word was godlike / a god / a powerful one”, take your pick: Rev. Dr. Philip B. Harner…. In his article “Qualitative Anarthrous Predicate Nouns: Mark 15:39 and John 1:1,” Dr. Harner states that such clauses as...

Some go to Heaven, sure….. because they are chosen. Jesus, though, stated @ Matthew 5:5, “the meek…will inherit the earth.” Also Psalm 37:29… the righteous “will live forever on it.” See the prophetic promise at Isaiah 11:6-9; notice the reference to earth in vs.9. This planet is a wonderful...

If “they knew” that, why didn’t they accuse Him of that at the Sanhedrin trial? They never did, according to the gospel record. And they were even looking for false witnesses! Yet not once did they accuse Him of claiming to be God. Ego eimi (I am) is simply stating existence. Jesus said He was...
