    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great Ones

    Yes, read the text carefully. The devil (and his angels) is/are not yet in the "fire". The fire is merely "prepared" (since the days of Noah), meaning 'ready'. You can see some of it, in the volcanic action and crustal friction and tension that erupts from time to time. The devil and his...

    Read the context. The word "soul" (Heb. Nephesh) means 'life' (and is translated as such over 100 times in the scriptures, see H5315), and in this context means the being/person. So, in the case of Rachel, she was dying, or conversely, her life was leaving, meaning she was getting weaker and...

    2 Peter 2:4 uses a unique word that is translated "hell" and it comes from the koine Greek "ταρταρωσας" (tartarosas), and it simply means a place of darkness. When God cast the evil angels out of the city in Heaven, on the unfallen world where God lives, (where there is no night there in the...

    The phrase "under the earth" in Revelation 5:3, means the grave or buried (or under dirt/rock). Exo_20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Deu_4:18...

    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great Ones

    The word "hell" simply means "a low place in the dark", such as a "pit", "hole" or "grave" or that which is 'sloping downward', and is used as such in English language, when in olden days they said, "I am helling potatoes." (ie placing them in the cellar, "helling" is the present participle of...

    That is nowhere taught in scripture. Jonah was merely unconscious for a short time (not all three days) - "fainted" (same word used here: "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." - Psalms 61:2 "I remembered...

    I provided the evidence before your post that Moses was already resurrected and taken to Heaven. Thus death reigned from Adam to Moses (Moses was the first one resurrected permanently (by Jesus) and taken up to Heaven). "[01.] Moses by The Son of God (aka Jesus/Michael, the eternal uncreated...

    Thus we see how the devils come in, or the Holy Ghost, by experiences (eyes/seeing) or words (hearing): 1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. The serpent...

    Yes, the Body is (or ought to be) the Temple of the Holy Ghost/Spirit. How? By the words of God. We are a "house" a "vessel" to be filled or lived in (by God or devils). God in you, speaks about His words, and when you have the words of God in you, then He (as represented by His words) is in...

    When are people "present with the Lord"? It is after their resurrection: The Martyrdom of Stephen; the Texts Acts 7:51-60, 8:1-2, 11:19, 22:20 Act 7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. Act 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy...

    Jesus then turns from speaking to "they" that "were bidden" to the Chief Pharisees' house and continues by speaking directly to the Chief Pharisee, whose house it was, and this is seen in the next three verses, Luke 14:12-14: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or...

    Did you reads the words "sleep" and in contrast to those which "are alive"? Did you read the words "we which are alive" in context with the words "shall not prevent them which are asleep"? I highlighted it for you. In other words, the persons sleeping in the grave, do not get to be "with the...

    You say it is not a "parable", and yet you say: Thus you equate angels with the deceased, in that you teach that both are without "bodies". Now, you said that the text of Luke 16:19-31 is "not a parable". Now how do you explain the following in the text, then, since you say that the deceased...

    "Rich Man and Lazarus" of Luke 16, comes in a series of Parables after a small discourse to great multitudes really beginning in Luke 14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, Luke 14:25 ...and also in Luke 15:1-2, to tax collectors, sinners who...

    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great Ones

    Some have stated that this passage cannot possibly be a 'parable' for several 'reasons': [1] The passage does not immediately, in the passage, say it is a 'parable' as all of Jesus' other 'parables' do and therefore 'it is NOT a parable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!' (yes, there are those...

    Paul says that we, Christians, are not looking to be “unclothed” [2 Corinthians 5:4], but rather, “to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven” [2 Corinthians 5:2], “so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked” [2 Corinthians 5:3; nakedness here is the sleep of death, the...

    That is not what scripture says and is actually spiritualism (satanic). God created the Angels as glorious beings, and they do have bodies, as Paul would say, “Celestial bodies”, for “God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him”. Just as Jesus now eternally has a “Glorious Body” [Philippians...

    Special Resurrections - Cases in Scripture, of the past, and of one to come before the Great Ones

    That is not what scripture says and is actually spiritualism (satanic). The Angels of Heaven [from Genesis to Revelation, while some things are symbolic, context determines] are always depicted as have the: “similitude of the sons of men” [Daniel 10:16], “the likeness of a man” [Daniel...

    That is not what scripture says and is actually spiritualism (satanic). The Father is not a perfume, not an aethereal essence pervading the universe. Mat_6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Mat_16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto...
