That will be demons trying to deceive people into believeing that dead people are not dead but are still conscious and can communicate with us (through mediums for example). The Scriptures say that the dead are sleeping, i.e. are unconscious and cannot communicate with anybody else. Psalms...

Agreed - the person resurrected has to be the same person, otherwise there is no reason for us to take any notice of God's Word! But for the same person that has died to awaken out of the sleep of death, there has to be something that can wake up. The human body disappears and returns to dust...

No, I'm not saying God can't recreate something that He has already made. He created many animals and plants, not just one of each (it was only man, and woman, that God created just one of). I believe that if God wanted to He could destroy the whole universe and create a new one (or as many...

The difficulty I have with the idea that we are purely physical, and we completely return to dust when we die, with God recreating us at a later date from His memory, is that the newly created person would not be us - it would be a clone (God could even create multiple clones of us - which one...

Again you write, "That is your carnal mind making that assumption", yet I never made that assumption! Likewise you wrote, "He never said He was a chicken, ... That's your carnal mind trying to understand God.", yet I never claimed that Jesus said he was a chicken - I had written "he did not...

Err, I said that Jesus did NOT mean that he was a chicken, so why do you imply that I claimed that Jesus said he was a chicken? That's the exact opposite of what I wrote! Jesus is now just like God in nature - Hebrews 1:3 (ISV): (3) He {Jesus} is the reflection of God's glory and the exact...

Some people don't seem to understand that God's Word isn't all literal, and that figures of speech are used extensively. When Jesus said, Matthew 23:37 (WEB): (37) “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your...

I have read them and decided! As I pointed out, those verses should not be interpreted as a literal description of God. For example, Psalms 61:4 (WEB): (4) I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah. David is using figurative language - he is...

Why would God have wings? Wings are physical members of a physical body that enable that body to fly through air (gas) so that it does not succumb to a force of gravity. God does not live in the physical world, so he would not need physical wings. The Bible references to God's wings, arms...

I like it. I can see that it could be useful when you're struggling to find a particular verse, when the words used differ in different translations, e.g. I was trying to remember where it mentions excluding someone from the church (excommunicating) but I couldn't remember the phrase used, so I...

That's wrong! To be immortal means that it is impossible for you to die - nothing can kill you. A dictionary definition of the word immortal is "Not subject to death". If you are a human then you can easily be killed, e.g. you could be struck by lightening, fall over a cliff edge and be...

For me this settles it that God created heaven and earth in six 24 hour days. All the words translated as "day" or "days" is the same Hebrew word yome: Exodus 20 (WEB): (1) God spoke all these words, saying, (8) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) You shall labor six days, and...

They were angels; fallen angels: Job 1:6 (MKJV): (6) And a day came when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah. And Satan also came among them. Job 38:4-7 (WEB): (4) “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. (5) Who...

It makes sense to use the forum tools for quoting posts, which is what you have just done. It clearly displays quoted text; I don't see the need to add to it. You didn't do that! It's not normally necessary to embolden text that you're quoting, as long as you don't quote more text than is...

That's what I did. :rolleyes: Both of the sentences that I quoted I believe are wrong, for the reasons that I stated. Particularly the latter sentence, in which you wrote "As far as the gospel is concerned, aliens on another planet are no different from indigenous people in ancient Australia...

Wrong. The Gospel message is that Jesus' sacrifice of his pefect human life pays the redemption price for all of mankind, so that all of mankind may have eternal life. Jesus' sacrifice applies only to humans that are descended from Adam, for he is paying Adam's penalty for sin - the death of a...

The angel is speaking to John, and it is unclear whether he is speaking the words of Jesus or of our Father, God. The expression is only used in Revelation 3 times (the reference Revelation 1:11 of the KJV is not genuine; more modern translations omit it). The first two references are clearly...

No verses in modern translations have Jesus claiming to be "the living God". It would be in conflict with John 6:68-69 (WEB): (68) Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. (69) We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son...

No. You stated "Jesus knew he was God" in your post in this thread, so I expect you to give a reference in this thread. You frequently ask other posters to give a reference; I am asking you for a reference to support what you wrote. As you also often write, this is the second time I have asked.
