Agree with everything except the "safe once we cross the Jordan" part. There is no boundary we can cross and be safe from losing salvation. However: "there is a line by us unseen, which crosses ev'ry path; the hidden boundary between, God's patience and His wrath..." There is a line that...

Doesn't Paul say "we must all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ"? That's future. Also, the "seal" is not like that of a mason jar which "traps" something in and renders it incapable of getting out - a popular idea among Christians who want the future security of the courts of heaven...

There is no "spiritual Switzerland". We're either a branch connected to the Vine and in His safe keeping or we are fallen off to the ground and will be cast into the fire. Note: The branch that has fallen off was ONCE connected to the Vine.

Hi nttl, I think Solomon disagrees with you: "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. Yea, better is he than both they, which HATH NOT YET BEEN (existed), WHO HATH NOT SEEN THE EVIL work that is done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 KJV...

1) Fact: Whatever the translation may be, the Greek of Hebrews 4:12 KJV is written as a Chiasm and says that the Spirit and Soul can be divided as surely as the Marrow and Joints can be. If even a blind man can see that a knee joint can't exist unless all the parts are there together, then why...

How about you address the point I made? I'll make it again: 1) YOUR Bible says in Genesis 2:7 KJV that a Soul is created the moment the Spirit is combined with the Body, and to deny this is to deny self-evident truth. 2) Hebrews 4:12 KJVsays the Spirit can be separated from the Soul just as...

Well said.

PROOF THAT THE LIVING SOUL EXISTS ONLY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE UNION OF THE BODY AND THE SPIRIT: Hebrews 4:12 KJV is written in "Hebrew Chiastic Structure" - an example of Hebrew poetry where not words, but ideas are rhymed. Chiasms abound in Scripture and stand as a guard against...

The penalty for which the Unjust Steward was forgiven was reinstated. Jesus said that separated branches are cast into the fire. These two passages of Scripture alone place the question beyond debate. God's love is unconditional, but His salvation isn't.

I'm interested in what evidence you have to prove that "soul" wasn't properly used in 1611. IDK, but it seems to me at this point you're splitting hairs. I really don't see the diff between the words "living soul" or "living being" as a reference to the whole person, especially in Genesis 2:7...

Not at all, because "destruction" carries with it the intrinsic characteristic of permanence, which is never associated with the First Death, hence the reason it is repeatedly referred to as "sleep" by Jesus, Job, Paul, etc. --- because God knows the First Death is temporary until the time when...

Well said. Why do others insist on investing our Wonderful Savior God with attributes of a sadistic, tyrannical, psychopath - such attributes that best describe the devil, and why do they not see that it is the DEVIL who is ultimately behind this campaign to invest Him with such?

Sorry to hear about your appliance troubles. Hope you get it fixed on the cheap. That said, it's really a silly analogy. Is an oven that can't execute all the necessary operations of an oven really an oven or just a pile of useless, dead refuse? Here's a BETTER analogy, but one which agrees...

Sorry, Oz, but the Bible disagrees. The Living Soul is the product of the union of the Body and the Breath of Life/Spirit, and NOWHERE are the Spirit and the Soul used interchangeably. Rachel's "soul" was departing, but from what to what? From existence to non-existence, not from the physical...

I disagree. There are very good reasons for why the NIV is referred to as the "Non-Inspired Version".

BTW, friend, when the Bible speaks of "spiritual death", it puts it in the present tense: "She that liveth in pleasure IS dead while she liveth." (1 Timothy 5:6 KJV). However, when the Lord speaks of death of the Living Soul: "All souls are Mine...the soul that sinneth SHALL die" (Ezekiel...

The devil said the same thing in Eden. "Ye shall not surely die." In other words, "Oh, you'll die alright Eve, but not surely...you'll keep right on living after you've died." People think the scariest place to be in town at midnight is the cemetery. Why? We know those dead people are...

This statement doesn't break with Scripture - it is plainly taught implicitly in Scripture by the totality of the testimony of what the Bible says about the formation of the Living Soul and what happens when human souls die. The Bible is clear that the Living Soul comes into existence by the...

I'm an Annihilationist. I believe, as the Bible teaches, that death is the opposite of life - the cessation and negation of life - not a continuation of it in some state of fearful, wretched existence. If the wicked are cast alive into eternal torment and remain their tormented for all eternity...

Genesis 2:7 KJV refers to the "Living Soul" as a creature formed by the union of the Body and the Breath of Life. ANY creature, according to the following: "Deliver not the soul of thy turtledove". Psalm 79:14 KJV Will we argue that turtledoves have "a poltergeist that flies off to heaven or...
