It may seem to the natural man that "pass out of existence" sounds like "destroyed", but not from the perspective of a God capable of speaking things into existence from nothingness. In the same way, to us Lazarus was dead as deadwood, but to Jesus, he was just "sleeping", because Jesus knew He...

You are putting words in my mouth. I never said that the Soul is "destroyed" when it passes out of existence at death because in the resurrection that Soul will once again rise to an eternal fate. However, in the Second Death, to which Jesus referred, wicked Souls are indeed "destroyed" for...

None. It is blood that drains down under the altar, and "the 'life' (Heb. "Nephesh" = "SOUL") is in the blood". "Souls under the altar which cry out" is not a literal reference to conscious entities which escape the body at death and go recline under the altar - it means the martyrdom of God's...

Confession alone is not enough to obtain mercy, according to Proverbs 28:13 KJV. We must forsake our sins, as well, which of course does not mean we "forget" them each time we finish committing them - it means we "leave them behind" or "cease from them".

Do you mean by saying "we no longer live in the daily effects of sin" that "we no longer come under condemnation for our daily sin"? Because Paul says, "there is now therefore no condemnation to them...who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit". I'm sure we both agree that it is...

Paul spoke of "two" bodies in the context of wearing them in succession, not simultaneously. Therefore, when the Body returns to the dust and the Spirit (of every Living Soul whether a saint, sinner, or of the animal kingdom) returns to God, the Living Soul passes out of existence in death. In...

A Soul "descending into the Netherworld" is just a symbolic way of stating that the Soul passes out of existence. Greek mythology is responsible for the idea that the dead really aren't "surely" dead, but still alive on another plane of existence.

And I'll ask you to not agree with the Devil when he told Eve "thou shalt not surely die". Death is the absence of life, not the continuation of it.

Yes, the Spirit of every single Living Soul, whether of a saint, sinner, or creature of the animal kingdom - returns to God at the death of that Living Soul which ceases to be a Living Soul and becomes a Dead Soul, or a Soul that no longer exists. You can't separate the parts from the whole and...

Kepha31, you are so mistaken. The High Priest alone was allowed in the Most Holy Place during the Day of Atonement, and you already acknowledged that Zecharias was not him. The office of priest he executed pertained to the "daily" operations of the Sanctuary - the trimming and filling of the...

Please re-read the bold type: the part about "shall have mercy". We're all mostly "meat" Christians, and therefore, it should not be necessary to spell out all the means, ways, and conditions upon which those three words are made possible to us - namely the Plan of Salvation. I most certainly...

Suicide is almost always something that ends the life of a lost person because it is the strongest evidence that one has lost all hope and faith - and "without faith it is impossible to please God" as well as take hold of salvation. However, weak moments come to all believers and God is...

True Story: When the popes had depleted the coffers and money needed to be raised for the building of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, they commissioned John Tetzel, and others like him, to ride through the European countryside with an entourage going from village to village offering for sale...

Martin Luther put it this way: Paul and James aren't fighting against each other, they stand back-to-back fighting the errors of "legalism" and "license". Paul made clear to Legalists that their best efforts can't earn them one foot off the ground and James made clear to the practitioners of...

Illogical fallacy? Hardly. When Paul says that we are to be "dead to sin", he means we are supposed to be "dead to its seductive, tantalizing power" in the same way an alcoholic lying in a coffin has no desire for a bottle of whiskey, because he is dead. Through steadfast, continual practice...

The Popes approve of the statement "Oh happy fault which merited so and such a great Redeemer!". Which of the following do you think viewed Adam and Eve's sin as "happy" or "blessed" - the Father in heaven Who knew the unspeakable suffering that would come upon His only begotten Son because of...

False accusations? By what proof? Catholic apologists who themselves may very well have engaged in child rape? Please, as I said the credibility of the Catholic church is ZERO and I suggest you view the movie "Spotlight". What can you say about a system that, after almost two decades of...

Believing in Jesus as Savior is insufficient. We must also believe He is our LORD to be obeyed. Grace is both Pardon and Power.

The Gospel I preach is simply this: "He that covereth his sin shall not prosper, but whosoever confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall have mercy."
