    The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 2

    “Lazarus represented the God-fearing people of other nations (the Gentiles) debarred, until the close of the Jewish Age, from those blessings conferred upon Israel specially. As the linen represented Israel's justification, so the sores represented moral defilement in this class, for whose...

    The Rich Man and Lazarus, Part 1

    “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 9

    The Book of Life “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 In our previous post we determined that the first set of books which were...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 8

    Under what law shall mankind be judged? “...And the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Rev 20:12 We will need to break this scripture apart in order...

    The thief on the cross !?

    No, not the Bible says, but you say my friend, there is a big difference.

    The thief on the cross !?

    “We are not to get the erroneous idea as you suggest here that the Lord at his Ascension led up to heaven a multitude of captives who previously had been in death. The captives are still dead; they are still in the prison house. The time has not yet come for the Great Redeemer to fulfill toward...

    The thief on the cross !?

    The perfection of the OT saints does not take place until AFTER the Church as a whole is complete, as one body and has received its reward first, as they are the bestowals of all the subsequent blessings given to the world including those which the OT saints will receive. It is not simply when...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Where you make your mistake here my friend is in the assumption that this was a done deal, the Apostle is not speaking of something which is presently here, but is pointing down to the end, or consummation, of this Age, to the finished picture. “The context indicates that at the end of this Age...

    The thief on the cross !?

    As we had stated in our previous reply we agree, “the spirits of just men made perfect” does indeed refer to the Old Testament saints (the ancient worthies), however they have not yet received their reward of being “made perfect”, as is attested to by the scripture you quoted from Heb 1:39, 40...

    The thief on the cross !?

    The thread was basically hijacked like so many others, nevertheless sometimes you have to follow the thread where it leads you. Of course the moderators could simply transfer the new line of discussion (The Rich man and Lazarus) to a new thread if that would help.

    The thief on the cross !?

    This is quite an interesting take on the parable my brother, we can agree on much of what has been said howbeit as Bible Students we see it slightly different and I hope to present our view as soon as I am able, but alas I have so many projects on the table right now that time is rather scarce...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 7

    Continuing from our previous post we return to our question, what will be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? “And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the...

    Understanding the Judgement, Part 6

    The nature of the judgement befalling mankind Our next inquiry, would naturally be, what would be the nature of the judgment, which shall befall mankind? Is it something to be feared and dreaded by mankind as many have suggested? Once again let us turn to the scriptures to answer this question...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Your further assertion that, “Christ took all the righteous dead (the OT saints) with Him to Heaven” that “those righteous dead are called "the spirits of just men made perfect" (Heb 12:23) is half right and half wrong. It’s true the Old Testament saints (the Ancient Worthies) are the ones...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Your assertion that immediately following his resurrection our Lord took all the righteous dead (along with the thief) up to heaven completely contradicts the divine testimony. First of all we have the Lord's positive declaration that "no man has ascended up to heaven save he who came down from...

    The thief on the cross !?

    In this you err my friend we are not basing our understanding of the text simply upon the punctuation of the sentence, much more importantly is what does the whole testimony of the Word of God say upon the subject. What do the scriptures teach us in regards to salvation, how and by what means...

    The thief on the cross !?

    Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. It should be noted that the King James Version does not punctuate Christ's reply correctly—it places the comma before rather than after the word “today”—and thus conveys the thought that Jesus...

    The Great Day of Atonement, Part 1

    There are in fact two viewpoints of the Day of Atonement provided for us in the Scriptures, the first of which is describe in Leviticus Chapter 9 is taken from the standpoint of the flesh, from our viewpoint, while the other as describe in Leviticus Chapter 16 is as these sacrifices are viewed...
