    Can the Soul Die?

    Well 'obviously' neither have you studied Isaiah 25, because it is talking of God ruling from Mount Zion, on the earth, ruling over humans. There is no mention of people being changed into spirit beings. Paul's letter to the Corinthians was addressed to Christians only, not to everyone in the...

    Can the Soul Die?

    No! That's just a fanciful imagination.

    Can the Soul Die?

    Only Christians are promised a resurrection as a new creature in Christ, to be given the divine nature - a spiritual body. Everybody else will be resurrected as humans again. You're relying on a poor translation. A better translation is the WEB: John 5:29) and will come out; those who have...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Yes, I have read it (and all of the Apocrypha, once). Jesus said, "Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth" (John 17:17).

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    That's not baptism - it's a man made tradition called Christening. To be baptised into Jesus' death you have to believe in Jesus, and believe Jesus. At 16 days old nobody has any knowledge of Jesus or faith in Jesus - that's a gift we receive from God after He has called us. I encourage you...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    I don't have access to the original manuscripts! Do your own research. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Epistle_of_John): A Trinitarian gloss (marginal note) known as the Johannine Comma, added to Latin translations of the epistle in the 4th century,[22] was interpolated...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Scriptures that refer to Jesus' brothers: (Mat 12:46) While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him. (Mat 13:55) Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Or, to include more of the verse: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: There is no hint in that verse that God is anything more than an individual being. It just implies that God was talking with some other living being who had a similar image and likeness to God...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Why do you believe all those old Bible commentators and not any current Bible commentators who say the Trinity doctrine is not supported by the Bible? The Bible is our only reliable written source of God's word, so we need to read, understand and believe that (while carefully checking for...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Who is that directed at? Was it directed at me? I don't understand the point that you're trying to make. Mark 16:15) He said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the Good News to the whole creation. Mark 16:16) He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    But the later addition of 1 John 5:7 is not Scripture! If I was to write in your Bible, "Jesus was a lizard", would you believe it? Somebody inserted words into 1 John 5:7 hundreds of years after John wrote it - it is not Scripture, as most Bible translations acknowledge. It has been known...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Am I the only person who thinks it strange that Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 implies that the virgin mother shall call Jesus Immanuel, whereas there is no verse in the New Testament that records anyone ever calling Jesus Immanuel? The angel told Mary and Joseph to call the child Jehoshua...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    So why were you addressing that in reply to my post about God removing His Spirit from Jesus on the cross? You're just confusing everybody and wasting everybody's time (especially mine). We were discussing whether or not Jesus had God's Holy Spirit upon/in him from his birth, or from his...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Once again, what has Jesus being a servant who came from the Father (God) have to do with God removing His Spirit from Jesus when Jesus was on the cross? What has any of what you've written have to do with that? You're like a politician - ask them a question and they'll ignore the question and...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    What? :confused: There's no mention of sin in 1 John 5:7. It's all about bearing witness to Jesus being God's son.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    You should know better than to quote probably the most infamous spurious verse in the Bible - which is acknowledged to have been a much later addition. It should be (WEB): 7) For there are three who testify: 8) the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one. As the...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Jesus was never fully divine and fully man at the same time. When he was a man he was merely a man, just like us - no more and no less - except that he was not born with a sinful nature: Romans 8:3) ... God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    What has Jesus being a servant who came from the Father (God) have to do with God removing His Spirit from Jesus when Jesus was on the cross? If you think you know something which I and others don't, why don't you explain it to us and share your knowledge/ideas. Just making a terse seemingly...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    I fail to understand why you would say that, or what bearing it has on the discussion! Most likely he was at home with his Father. Why do you ask?

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    The same Greek word (pempo) is in both cases translated as send. I don't understand why you said "same word is used, it does not say pour forth there". In the John verses that I quoted we have Jesus saying that God will send His Holy Spirit in Jesus' name, and that Jesus will send God's Holy...
