I did not make any alterations to the verses that I quoted. They were straightforward cut & pastes. I even included the abbreviation of the Bible translations that I copied from. I have been completely honest here, and you can easily check that. Why are you accusing me of trying to deceive...

1 John 2:1 (TLV): My children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Intercessor with the Father—the righteous Messiah Yeshua. Anyone who is begotten again can still commit sins, for "As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not...

Jesus was sinless, but he took on the sins of the world: (Heb 4:15) For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. (Heb 9:28) so Christ also, having been offered once to bear...

This is my last response to you. It's simply to present more Bible verses for you to study. In Peter's teaching on the day of Pentecost, he said (Acts 2:22-32, KJV): 22) Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs...

I still don't see what God destroying Sodom and Gomorrah has to do with the idea that there is a literal eternal lake of fire and a place called Sheol/Hell where people will be sent to spend eternity (despite the Scriptures clearly saying that the penalty for disobedience is death and eternal...

Why do I need to rewrite the Bible to prove that what the Bible says is correct? The Bible clearly says "they will be destroyed forever". Why don't you believe 'your' Bible? Instead of attacking me and my qualifications, why don't you respond with Bible verses that you think supports your...

I'm not rewriting it! I'm just trying to help you understand what it means.

(Act 2:31) he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. You're saying that the Bible is a pack of lies! I'm afraid if that's you're attitude then I can't help you. :(

I'll stop answering soon! :) But no, I don't think God is Santa Clause. The flood was for specific reasons, mainly because of the genetic corruption of the human race by the fallen angels taking on human form and interbreeding with humans (Gen 6). God has also intervened on other occasions...

No, I've not been to Israel, but I don't need to go there to believe that the Bible account of Sodom and Gomorrah is a true literal account. However, what has that event got to do with "hell"? Yes, it will be Jesus. 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 (WEB): 6) Since it is a righteous thing with God to...

I disagree with it; I do not believe it to be the truth! It is inconceivable that God would torture millions/billions of people for all eternity. That would make God the most evil, most sinful being ever. I don't believe that! And the Bible doesn't support that idea. Remember that what God...

I don't lie, and I'm sure I didn't make a mistake. I didn't claim that you said that! I was asking you if that is what you thought. I say that the rich man and Lazarus story is a parable, and therefore not to be taken literally, but you claim it is not a parable - you said "This is a very...

Okay, I reread your response, which was: "Hell was not originally created for Man. It was created before Man was created. It is the final solution for the Devil and his own." So you seem to be saying that hell (sheol) was not created for mankind, therefore the question of why it will be...

Yes, and just to make it easier for kcnalp I'll quote Acts 2:31 for you: (Act 2:31) he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. Peter was confirming that Jesus' soul had gone to Hades (Sheol) just like...

So are all poor people going to end up on Abraham's bosom when they die? Do you think that is literal? Do you think that poeple in Hades/Sheol and Abraham's bosom will be able to call out to each other and have a conversation? (That is contrary to other Scripture verses.) No, it's not a...

You're ignoring verses of Scripture that don't harmonise with your ideas again, the verses that I have quoted to support my understanding, such as: (1Cor 15:51): Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, So Paul thinks that dead Christians are in a sleep...

Did you not read his reply (#81)?! He was quoting 1 John 2:16-17, which says: "For everything in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the boasting of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is passing away along with its desire, but the one who does...

You obviously haven't bothered to read my previous replies in this thread, where I have already commented on that. From reply #45: John 3:36 is the prophet John the Baptist saying, "One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God...

The verse I quoted (John 3:16) says "perish", from the Greek work apollumi which means to destroy fully. Okay, let's discuss this parable. Yes, it is a parable. I have heard some commentators claim it is not a parable because one of the characters in the story is given a name, and no...

No church has persuaded me that. But why don't you believe that what the Bible says it means? The Bible says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16) So why don't you believe that those...
