    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    I quoted Scripture and then commented on those verses. Are you saying that you think I misinterpreted those verses? So you think that God will perform on a grand scale what He described as an abomination, and which He said profanes His name? He said people who did that should be put to death...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    I asked you to support your claims with Bible references. Then in post #483 I asked for references to specifically support your claims in post #481. Because that specific list is what you are claiming in your post #481. You are trying to convince me; I'm not trying to convince myself to...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    No, I asked for Bible references to support your claims that: Every natural born human is born separated from God. Every living human not Believing in God is separated from God. Every body & living soul that shall be raised up in damnation is separated from God. Every fallen Angel is separated...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    We need to understand God's word to us first, otherwise we will get a totally wrong impression of God's character. He is a loving God. God is the author of the Bible - His word to us. To correctly understand the Bible our interpretations must harmonise all Bible verses; if the Bible seems to...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    What! Still no Bible references! Acts 17:11 (WEB): (11) Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. If the Bereans did not even take the apostle's...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    You're not seeing any deception?! :eek: Psalms 146:4 tells us: (4) His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. When we die our thoughts cease - we become unconscious, or as Jesus describes it, it is like a deep sleep. Therefore Samuel could not...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    You still haven't said where in the Bible it teaches that anyone will ever be separated from God. Where does it say that God will do that? You should not teach anything that is not supported by the Bible, and if it is supported by the Bible you should tell us where, or else no sensible person...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Please give a Bible verse(s) reference when quoting the Bible. You were quoting 1 Samuel 28:19, although the word "here" wasn't in any translation that I looked in: (19) Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Please don't change what I wrote when you quote me. I did not write "God's destruction", I wrote "your destruction". God cannot be destroyed because he is immortal. Jesus was a spirit, and he died. Revelation 1:18 (WEB): (18) and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    I also earlier pointed out that the lake of fire and sulphur is symbolic of utter detruction. Nothing exists after it has been symbolically thrown into it. What would be the point of Satan and demons/fallen angels being thrown into a literal lake of fire? They are spirit beings so fire has no...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Where in the Bible does it mention people/angels being forever separated from God? Where do you get that idea from? It is not possible for you to be separated from God, except by your destruction. Psalms 139:1-12 (WEB): (1) For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Yahweh, you have searched...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Paul said, Hebrews 13:2 (WEB): (2) Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    They are not physical beings, so obviously they can't have a physical death, but they can die. As Paul says of God in 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB), "who alone has immortality". God is immortal, but the other spirit beings are not. The possibility of anyone other than God gaining immortality was only...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    No. I speak and understand English (I am English). Your abbreviations, acronyms, or whatever, are not part of the English language, and so I don't understand it. Yes, that sounds silly. The sound made from something moving does not imply that whatever is moving must be alive. You don't need...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    In Genesis 3:24 it says God "placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life". People assume that means it was to prevent Adam and Eve (and all their offspring) from accessing the tree of life, but it could mean...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    What does "ty" mean? Your posts are almost unintelligible. In post #397 you wrote: That certainly seems like you said the devil was dead.

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    That will be too late for you, because if you think the devil is dead then you won't be taking notice of Peter's admonition -1 Peter 5:8-9 (WEB): (8) Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (9)...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Why don't you write in English instead of acronyms, abbreviations and slang. You're not communicating very clearly. ("iow" should be "in other words" (?), "orig" should be "original", "prolly" is not a proper English word - it should be "probably", "i" should be "I", etc.). You should not...

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    I don't know. Why don't you ask one. Why is everyone here assuming that everyone else who has a different understanding of Scripture to them must be a JW? I'm not a JW either!

    What Are we Getting Saved From?

    Matthew 10:28 (WEB): (28) Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. The Greek word that is here translated as "destroy" is apollumi, which Strong's Concordance says means "to destroy...
