The answer is found in Ecclesiastes 12. There isn't a "holding place," purgatory, or whatever. When someone dies, they go straight to the Father. It's difficult for us to understand, but time doesn't exist for God and it doesn't outside of this world. For proof of this concept of a lack of time...

The "J" was erroneously translated by German scholars. (Jehovah was also incorrectly done.) His real transliteration would be more along the lines of "Yeshua" or "Yahshua" (think Joshua with a Y). Christ comes from Gr. Christos is the Greek form of the Hebrew word Messiah meaning anointed one...

Judd, Jesus Christ comes to us from the Greek (and ultimately Hebrew) but it's a little inaccurate. The Greek name is Iesous (Ιησους if you have the Greek alphabet installed). Back when His name was first rendered in English, it was incorrectly rendered with a "J" instead of a "Y" which is...

I see where they get Lilith from, but like Christina I don't see how you could possibly link this to Adam: http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H3917&t=KJV I think there was a goddess in Edom that bore the name and she basically haunted ruins, but who knows. The name...

Welcome Dewey!! Look at it this way: with pottery it's not always so important to make it look the best. It's what that pottery contained that was important because it's food or liquid that is necessary for living just as we need the living water. I'm always touched by the intimate instant of...

What is the seal of God in their foreheads? If you know the answer to that, then you know the answer to this question.

Well, I take large issue with getting the word "allegiance" from the Hebrew shaba' for one. Swearing an oath and declaring allegiance are two different things, and hardly mutually inclusive. That's quite a liberal translation there. I know in the NT renderings its confess, which is still far...

Not a problem, I typed a 3 instead of a 5, it happens. ;) We'll have to agree to disagree on that quote. While I do concur that we are to strive for agreement (I Peter 3:8 and Philippians 2:2) - and we ultimately will as true believers - we're still going to get some things wrong. I think...

Well, I think forums and all other forms of social media suffer from what I've come to call the "detached factor." It's funny how bold people will get on the internet. If you haven't noticed it, just jump on a forum or take a look at your Facebook friends and see what gets said. It seems to me...

I suppose that you can think of it as a time-saver for the folks who aren't interested and ready. I don't really have any hidden purpose in it, as the SoF states from the beginning. I just want to make it clear as to what atmosphere this forum intends to provide. Sadly, we see an abundance of...

Martin's speculation was quite accurate, you had a European timezone. I updated it to EST since I'm not 100% sure of your location. To choose another timezone, go to the black menu bar at the top of the screen where it says "Signed in as whirlwind" and then hit the down arrow and click on My...

With all due respect - and I realize this might come off a bit harsh - they did state it rather plainly. You have to jump back and understand that these accounts were composed in the knowledge of the Old Testament. This means that you would be familiar with the Old Testament laws regarding...

We don't mind a discussion on the Nephilim, but it's against forum rules to post a link your personal website/blog. You're always welcome to use a signature link and maybe post a portion (or more) of the post here. Thanks.

We already have an ongoing discussion about that here: http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/11637-why-did-our-father-want-blood-sacrifices/ I don't see a reason to start another thread on it, thanks. Topic Closed Repeat topic.

What was the quote... "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. " A manufactured crisis is even better.

So what exactly do all of you do with the Old Testament? Did Christ who was ordained before this world began (I Peter 1:20) change? Did God only do battle in the OT forsaking it completely in the NT? What about the commandment to buy a sword? Was that just for looks or for the protection of a...

Whirl, the problem I have with the idea of it being false prophets is that this takes place under the 7th vial/bowl. The weight puts these hailstones at ~115 to ~130 lbs. and curiously, they are measured by a standard that currency (silver and gold) would have been measured at. We know from the...

I thought this to be sound advice based on Scripture. Maybe it's time to let that passion creep into other things including how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis. If we had a nation full of true Christians, this kind of legislation would never come around - it would not be needed because the...

Bingo. The problem with government setting prices is evident when you ask people about any given issue in economics. There are dozens of opinions on how to handle things, and the most popular right now comes to us from a British Economist from the first half of last century, John Maynard Keynes...
