That’s not entirely true… Malachi 3:16-18, “Thus did those who fear Jehovah talk to each other; and Jehovah listened and heard it, and a commemorative book was written before him for those who fear Jehovah and those who give consideration to his name. 17 And, says Jehovah of Armies, they shall...

Really? Bible-believing Christians “become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave.” — Ephesians 4:32 They try to follow Paul’s counsel @ vs.31, to “Put away from yourselves every kind of malicious bitterness, anger...

Yes. Revelation 20:13,14…. “Death and hell were cast / thrown into the Lake of Fire” How do you ‘burn’ death? What could that mean?

Very good reasoning! IMO… The “what” is the marriage institution involving a covenant / contract, wherein a man & a woman make a lifelong promise, to each other and to God. @BlessedPeace answered it well, in post #215. And to agree with you, “permitted” is a better term. A marriage ending...

Yes, thank goodness! Otherwise, I’d have been forced to live with someone who was sleeping with other men. Put yourself in that position…. Im sure you can see how loving it was for Jesus to allow that stipulation for ending a marriage! It’s the only one! Could you continue with a spouse who...

“Porneia”, the word used in the Greek writings, is a broader term, covering all sexual immorality. At 1 Corinthians 6:9, Paul used a form of porneia, saying that those who practice it will not “inherit God’s Kingdom.” Paul mentions adultery & homosexuality… he doesn’t specifically say...

You think that’s what that means, just ‘on earth’? It does mean on earth, but the earth in its present imperfect condition, without Jehovah God’s blessing or protection. Indeed, this entire world is currently under Satan’s control & power. — 1 John 5:19 Every time Solomon uses the phrase “under...

Don’t forget the last part, “….for they are all living to Him.” It doesn’t say, “…to everyone“, does it? Why not? Psalm 115:17 (CEB)… “The dead don't praise the LORD…” Ecclesiastes 9:5… “…because the living know that they will die. But the dead know nothing at all.” The dead are dead….until...

Wow! I’m sorry you went through all that. I was just wondering though: you said Christian husband…. I guess you meant what he claimed to be back then? Do you think he is still a Christian? Something similar happened to me. My wife divorced me, and married my best friend (he was at the time)...

Man, isn’t that the truth!! That’s why it’s so important in helping us understand what the Bible writers meant! Which really means understanding what God meant.

Hello…. I thought I explained my meaning; maybe I misunderstood the point of the post I responded to. If I did, sorry. I’ll try to clarify: if one endeavors to use Isaiah 66 to apply it to Christians — that they shouldn’t eat pork — then that understanding contradicts Jesus @ Mark 7:19, where...

Re: John 1:1, for those who are interested…. Highly respected scholar and Catholic priest John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: "Jn 1:1 should rigorously be translated ‘the word was with the God [= the Father], and the word was a divine being.’”—(Brackets are his. Bold...

Lol! I hadn’t heard that in years! Funny! Take care, my cousin.

Exactly… Christians aren’t. The discussion over circumcision, recorded in Acts 15, resolved the bigger issue, re: adherence to the Mosaic Law, also.

Great Scripture for this topic! Mark 7 18“Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.”(In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) This...

Revelation 20:14…NIV… “Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.” Other versions found at https://biblehub.com/revelation/20-14.htm How can you burn death, a non-tangible thing? You can’t. But fire can have a symbolic meaning, of complete...

You make some good points! Very astute. At Genesis 37:35, Jacob uses the Hebrew word “Sheol”, where he says he is going “down to”. This is the same word, along with the Greek word “Hades” in the NT, that is translated “hell” in many places …. In fact, here is a link to that Scripture on...

@L.A.M.B. , Ok, thanks for letting us know.
