What standard is used by Him to convince us we are or are not a saint? "Hereby we do know that we know Him IF we keep His commandments". "And hereby we do know we love the children of God when we love God and keep His commandments". That is why when a Christian begins to give in to habitual...

A better question is, "Does this refer to a Just Man's sin or a Presumptuous Man's habitual, deliberate, known, presumptuous, impenitent sin?" The answer is obvious: the Presumptuous Man's, which grace cannot and will not cover.

Always? In that case, you better get busy preaching that trees can walk, talk, and make horrible life choices since Jotham never "informed us" he was speaking in parables, right?

Please don't compare the inspired words of Matthew who said plainly Jesus would come speak in parables - with the skeptics in Ezekiel's day who refused the very same, OK? They are right to not believe in the false doctrine of "immortal soul" because God "only hath immortality"! You don't have...

Even the angels know Jesus was born Christ our Lord, but what good it that to them? It's as useless to them in the spirit world as it is to those who refuse to make a full, permanent surrender to Jesus (aka "abide in the Vine") in our world.

You'd see, if only you had Holy Spirit discernment, that the separation of the sheep and goats takes place at the only point in history when everyone who's ever been born will be alive and standing before God. You'd see that when Jesus comes in earth-shaking, ear-splitting, blazing glory, "the...

Matthew specifically says "in all these things spake Jesus in parables, and without a parable spake Jesus not unto them" - the Jews. Got it? What were the "parables" Jesus spoke to the people? Well, one of them was The Rich Man and Lazarus!!! So, please stop characterizing excerpts from the...

WHO...WHO WERE THE PEOPLE REJECTING THE WORD OF GOD IN JESUS' DAY? WHO did He constantly warn - in Person, face to face, race to race, mouth to ear - in parables about what would be their fate?

I'm sorry, but it's not reasonable to believe all the "souls of dead saints" literally reside in literal Abraham's bosom. A blind man can see that Jesus is speaking in symbolic language - but the spiritually blind will never see.

Good...so WHO were opposing His divinity in His day? They same people to whom He delivered parabolic warning after warning, right? he mythological errors of pagan Greeks about it.

Any intelligent person can see that "Abraham's Bosom" is a symbolic, poetic reference to something else. No thinking person believes all the dead saints immediately go sit on another man's chest hair as soon as they die, but it seems you think that's exactly the case since the idea of symbolic...

His argument is that since there's no mention of "legs", then Lazarus had none and because I suggested it, I'm a "false prophet" and a "natural mind" guy and whatever else he said to question my Christianity. Now, I'm partial to the warm services of the black church and I appreciate the black...

I can easily disprove OSAS by Scripture, just like I disproved "innate immortality of the soul" with Scripture. I'm happy you disagree with OSAS, because it's just as dangerous a teaching as that which denies that souls die and cease to exist. OSAS dies the death it deserves by the following...

Jesus was dealing with specific opposition in His day, and thus drew upon the false ideas of the day to illustrate by parable what would happen to that opposition should they continue in unbelief. Dead people do not receive bodies until the the one or the other of the two resurrrections and...

You've confirmed nothing, friend. I assure you my faith is in Christ alone for salvation, not works, and certainly not false pagan ideas like yours which deny the truth of Scripture that God "only hath immortality". It appears you are unable to understand what's plainly said in Genesis 2:7...

Gabriel said "Jerusalem" - not merely the temple. Unlike those of Cyrus and Darius which are limited to rebuilding the temple, Artaxerxes' decree issued during his 7th year reign in 457 B.C. goes well beyond and provides for the following: Ezra 7:15-23 Reestablishment of the Temple...

"God ONLY hath immortality" and "they who...SEEK for glory, honor, and immortality" will be granted it. The first lie in Scripture was "thou shalt not surely die" and by agreeing with the devil, you deny the truth of God Who said, "The Soul that sinneth, IT SHALL DIE".

No, I accept ALL the counsel of Scripture, whereas you pick and choose and make up stuff like "disembodied soul body part". Solomon and David and Jesus and Peter and Paul and many others tell you plainly the truth. Solomon says the dead "know not anything" but you claim the dead not only know...

The Bible, including Paul, links what the High Priest did on the Day of Atonement aka Cleansing of the Sanctuary aka "Yom Kippur" with the Judgement, as does the Jewish Encyclopedia under the article "Day of Atonement", pp. 286, Vol II: "God seated on His throne to judge the world. At the same...

Ezra 7, "in the 7th year reign of Artaxerxes". This has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt by extraBiblical archaeology to be 457 B.C., and is why older Bibles often have that date in the margins. You're basing your rejection of a 31 A.D. crucifixion year on extremely flimsy point, and on...
