    The Rapture is Post-trib

    Nowhere does this speak of Jesus landing on earth. It says we meet the Lord in the air and forever be with Him. Making a post rib rapture is done by combining similar words for dissimilar events and making them one. But instead of useless debating here, I will say this. Time will prove who...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Haven't read all the responses so this may already be written. What we call hell is empty right now. the Biblical name is the Lake of Fire. When the lost die, they go the place of torments spoken of in the account of Lazarus and the rich man awaiting being cast into the Lake of Fire.

    When is the Close of Probation?

    Actually teh saved are chosen before the foundation of the world so probation closed then. God is not intimate with the lost and knows them not so their probation is also closed.

    Why is the need to study the bible for yourself; important?

    Two reasons should suffice: Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 King...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Actually, according to Scripture, believers are only jujdged by what they did in the name of Jesus (or religious works, or good works, whatever name one wishes to tag them with) If they were not done according to the Spirit, they are considered wood hay and stubble. If they are done according...

    Heaven - When?

    But that is way off topic and not germane to the thread and conversation we are having, though correct.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Go ask 100 people and get your answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firstborn So show that Mary was barren after Jesus was born with Joseph regularly boinking her. Also please show how Mary had a sister called Mary in her family.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    I need not- linguistic usage shows brothers is the primary meaning and unless is not applicable- applies. Strongs, thayers and other lexicons do not list adelphe and adelphoi with a sub definition of kinsmen vis a vis- cousin. https://studybible.info/strongs/G79...

    Heaven - When?

    Now you are going from a phrase about the long awaited kingdom promised to Israel, to what a sin is. that is apples and oranges

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    now you need to show why the same authots used syngenes for cousins instead of adelphos.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Mary, the mother of Jesus, did not have a sister; she was an only child1. However, there is a mention of a "Mary of Cleophas" in the Bible, who is referred to as Mary's sister2345. It is unclear whether this Mary of Cleophas is the same person as Mary, the mother of Jesus. According to some...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    And where did Hegesippus get this supposed info.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Now I know many people think Jews are not very smart, but they are intelligent enough not to name two daughtees of the same parents "Mary".

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Because He is called "firstborn" which by normal grammar and understanding explicitly means they are the first of at least two. go ask a dozen people if first born means there were most likely others. But not in context of our discussion but as a generic thought. when people have only one...

    Heaven - When?

    WEll as that has the same meaning in the first and 21st century -yes! But there are many things written that mean something different (either a little or alot) from the first to the 21st century. The kingdom of heaven (God) is one.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    No they are not! Now you need to establish that the Septuagint use is the most valid use ion light of the definition I posted. You also need to establish that Mary or Joseph and brothers or sisters who settled in to Nazareth and had children who would be Jesus' cousins. Remember Nazareth was...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Well it is just you and a few others who have been deceived by doctrine of demons who believe you no longer commit any sin in thought word or deed. I would love to read your mind and see how you justify your sins to not have to call them sin.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    And your gospewl of living a sinlessly perfect life is a false gospel. I rely on Scripture you rely on your opinion of Scripture.

    Heaven - When?

    Well you would be wrong. If you wish to interpret 1st cwntury letters with only a 21st century mindset- well we have seen the damage caused by the church with that . Joel Osteen Benny HInn, Joyce Meyers et.al.
