brakelite, The Bible teaches that God alone had no beginning or end (1 Tim 6:16). That means he is the Alpha & Omega. However, Paul does not speak with a forked-tongue when he states that Christians have immortality (1 Cor. 15:53) and partake of immortality through the Gospel (2 Tim. 1:10)...

Stan, I feel for your loneliness although I'm not as old. I also live alone and can still drive. However, if I couldn't I have a number of people to call on to take me to church. Could another option be to hold a Bible study in your house with another leading the group? I lead such a group in...

Jay, That's arguing from silence and is a logical fallacy. It's erroneous reasoning. Oz

brakelite, You here promote the age-old unbiblical doctrine that refuses to support the immortality of the soul. Are you a supporter of conditional immortality? JWs promote it, as do Christadelphians. Relying on Ecclesiastes to support one's doctrine of what happens at death is challenging...

GodsGrace, My understanding is that science works with the WHAT of the universe. e.g. How to examine atoms and molecules; examine best ways to thin my blood and the easiest ways to stop the flow when I start bleeding badly (I take a daily dose of warfarin). However, the Trinitarian God gives...

Jay, Has it occurred to you that it could be your imposition on Gen 2:17 that makes it contrary to the exegesis of renowned evangelical OT scholar, Gleason Archer? By the way, think about the times on this forum when you've made pejorative comments about biblical scholars. Oz

Jay, This is plainly false. There would never be any English Bible translations if it weren't for scholars (people of learning) who understood Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Your statement about these people holding back understanding is a joke. Are you saying people like you who are not people...

Daniel, Could this link take you to the topic? Evidence for God from Science

Is that meant to by a put down of my PhD in New Testament?

n2t, Job 38:1-7 (ERV) does not teach what you claim it means: Then the Lord spoke to Job from a whirlwind and said, 2 “Who is this ignorant person saying these foolish things? 3 Prepare yourself for an attack! Get ready to answer the questions I will ask you. 4 “Where were you when I...

What is your view?

I agree. Psalm 19:1-4 (ERV) gives a similar message: The heavens tell about the glory of God. The skies announce what his hands have made. 2 Each new day tells more of the story, and each night reveals more and more about God’s power. 3 You cannot hear them say anything. They don’t...

Prof J A Schep disagrees with you. See: Resurrection of the flesh-body.

So, Jay, are you saying this is your understanding of the verse? If so, would you please provide your exegesis of it so that I better understand why you reached the conclusion that 'Genesis 2:17 was pointing to a time over 7,000 years into the future when "dying the second death" of the sinners...

This sounds like you believe in the pre-existence of human beings before conception. Is that your belief? If so, pre-existence was condemned as heresy in the Second Council of Constantinople in AD 553. The anathema was pronounced on those who believed it. Mormons believe it today. Are you...

I find this to be a rude response that commits the Appeal to Ridicule Logical Fallacy.

n2t, 1 Cor 15:22 states, 'For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive' (ESV). 1 Cor 15:36, 'You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies' (ESV). In 1 Cor 15:22, 'all will be made alive' is 'pantes' (all) 'zwopoiethesontai' (will be made alive)...

Who determined that that would be the meaning of Gen 2:17?

I'm not convinced that 1 Cor 15:50-58 (ESV) teaches that: 50 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in...

Stan, Gen 2:15-17 (NLT) states: 15 The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. 16 But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to...
