    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    Sodom and Gomorrah were punished with eternal fire (go and check the story) Is it still burning today? So how do we understand 'eternal fire'? In the context it is to be understood as, till everything is consumed. In other words, it lasts as long as it lasts. When there is nothing left to burn...

    Government Shutdown

    I think in all global history it is the character of God which is misrepresented/ under attack. The Gospel reverses those misrepresentations and blows them out of the water, so to speak. The symbolism in Revelation typifies this struggle by oppressive systems opposed to the message of God's...

    Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the Earth, and he had two horns like a lambing spoke like a dragon........ Is anyone cognisant of this?

    Healing

    One of the ways God works is through fellow believers. Refusing to engage them citing 'prayer section' excuse is non other than cutting off the avenue that God speaks to and with us. When Jesus says, 'what you have done to the least you have done it to me' includes engaging people when you ask...

    MD, if you wont countenance questions, how ever will you manage to understand if you interpret anything outside your paradigm as disrespect and not sensible. If I didn't have respect for you I wouldn't bother reading or reply to your posts. The fact that I do is a good reason for you to drop...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    It appears you have the idea that the more you repeat these views and the harder you yell them, the greater chance they will come to fruition. Has it occurred to you that all with your barking you might be on the side of the very fence you insist others will be?

    Faith and Food: Exploring Biblical Eating Practices

    Faith and Food: Exploring Biblical Eating Practices I guess it depends on how big your bible is; a small one you could munch in a few mouthfuls with cornflakes and milk. A big one, on the other hand might need a full roast. hmmx1:

    The Senior Pastor Is Most Important

    Matthew 20:24-28 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. 25Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to...

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict?

    How can you find the truth when biblically supported views contradict? 'Biblical' is subjective. One could ask, what or who's Biblical view? Unless one interprets through the lens of Jesus (if they know what that means) one will inevitably come up with a view which is deemed 'Biblical' yet...

    It always stops at the dollar...even for those who claim to be 'not of this World'

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    I guess it does but so does building systems which oppose the purposes of God. Patting yourself on the back because of all the hard work you've put in is just another 'look at my good works' trip. The paradigm you are locked onto misses the mark and does not allow you to see the core principle...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    It is positional, this is true yet it is not empirical. For who then will it be empirical....and when? I understand the scripture to say it will be empirical for those who trust God's declaration of the positional.....and when will this happen? ....at the last trump. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    Yes, by faith, not by empirical experience. God sees ALL as having passed from death to life IN Jesus. This is good news, yet this is not the case in empirical experience. What we will experience at Jesus return is yet to be realised for those who trust God to fulfil his promises in us...when...

    God forgives.... the Law condemns.

    The curse of the law is what? Is it the Law itself?

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    The promise of what we (God's people)shall become is yet to become empirical reality. The present is subject to mortality (not immortality) Eternal life (immortality) in a changed body becomes the reality of God's people when Jesus returns ...as per your quote in 1 Corinthians 15.
