I’m probably gonna regret this engagement (since your responses are saturated with animosity), but: Where, please.

Hello, hope you’re doing well. Remember Jesus’ statement regarding the Devil, @ John 8:44? Jesus said, “he did not stand fast in the truth…” For a person to “not stand fast” in something, means that the person was in it, but gave it up. Satan was created a perfect creature having Free Will...

Faith & works go hand-in-hand. Like love, faith is a motivator. Good works... really, what we do & how we act in everyday life… shows if we have a living faith, or a dead faith, ie., no faith at all. James clarified this when he wrote at James 2:17, “faith by itself, without works, is dead.”...

Well, I appreciate your cordial reply …. but I don’t think you answered my question, about the Roman Catholic Church. They believe, as you, that Jesus is God. And that’s your definition for the antichrist: denying Jesus is God. But they don’t deny the concept. So how are they still the...

Here’s plain speech… At John 17:3, Jesus was praying to his Father and said, “This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (Here are some other renditions: https://biblehub.com/john/17-3.htm) What does “only” mean to you...

In your view, why is the RCC antichrist? They believe as you, that the Son is God too. What sets you apart?

What? Jesus was resurrected to spirit life after He died(1 Peter 3:18), never again will He be a human. So if I understand you correctly, you are arguing apples to oranges, it’s a non-sequitur. We don’t … none of us believe or teach that. It’s nonsense. So what do you think that reveals to...

Well, for one thing, we don’t kill our brothers. Jesus said that would be the identifying mark (John 13:34,35), not necessarily some teaching to look for, but rather the love His followers would have for one another. The clergy of Christendom, most factions of which are trinitarian, has...

I believe what Jesus says, as a parable. The rich man represented the Pharisees. To understand it as otherwise, ie., literal, then Jesus would be contradicting other Scripture. Would He do that?

Yes, that’s one. Matthew 18:9 is another. They — hell & Gehenna — are two different things, with two different outcomes. And neither are connected to conscious torment!

No, Jesus used the word Gehenna there. That is not Hades, or the English Hell. Check it for yourself, using an unbiased source. Some translators have applied English words that don’t accurately portray the Greek meaning in the New Testament; they’d rather promote a priori biases. They’ve done...

This was a vision! Jesus himself said afterward, “Tell the vision to no one.” Maybe reconsider your statement, “…little men’s ideas”, don’t berate.

Come on , now…. I’m sure you’re aware of the instances where his disciples didn’t recognize him! And he could disappear from them. As Peter said @ 1 Peter 3:18, he was “put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.”

I’m sorry, but no…. The Bible repeatedly mentions “dead soul”, or “dead souls”. Leviticus 19:28… Leviticus 21:1… Leviticus 21:11… Leviticus 22:4… Numbers 5:2… Numbers 6:6… Numbers 6:11… Numbers 19:11… Etc. The Hebrew word used is “nephesh”, the word for “soul”. Not “body”, or “corpse”...

My cousin, I do claim that God’s Word is truth… But accurate understanding of it is woefully lacking! At Luke 10:21, Jesus said his Father either hides it , or reveals it. To whom, do you think, God would reveal His truth? To those who are obedient, or to the disobedient? Now, please don’t...

“Evidence”? This is a parable, as the Gospel context states. Mark 4:34 & Matthew 13:34 both say “without an illustration he [Jesus] would not speak to them.” Why force an explanation of one Scripture, to the exclusion of many other related Scriptures that don’t fit that explanation? When that...

Where? Where do the Scriptures say hell is “forever”? I read that hell / hades is “thrown into” the Lake of Fire. It is therefore not the Lake of Fire! In fact, there is never any fire associated with hell, in the Greek Scriptures…. It is a mistranslation, designed by Christendom centuries...

You wrote this? I must have taken this out of context, but I can’t see where. You were quoting someone, right? Hope so… Because I know that you know this is inaccurate. You meant Gehenna, right?

Hey, hope I can answer your questions satisfactorily… Keep in mind, Paul called Jesus “the last Adam” at 1 Corinthians 15. Why? Because as descendants of Adam, we inherited imperfection (which is a feature of / results in being sinful). This condition leads to death. (Romans 5:12) And one...

That is a very good and thoughtful question! I mean, really! You are a thinker! In line with Romans 6:7, where it tells us that our death ‘frees’ us from sin, and Romans 6:23 which says that “the wages sin pays is death (notice, not torment or anything else)…. in light of those Scriptures...
