Hello @Taken, In reply#100 @quietthinker said, (quote) 'The story of Jesus in Luke 16:19-31 was a known myth and understood to be so. He told it to make a point not to give a dissertation on the state of the dead. His point being, if you don't believe the scriptures neither will you believe if...

'For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?' (Psa 6:5) 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.' (Ecc 9:10) Hello @Taken, Yes, I...

Hello @Davy, In each of the epistles there is doctrine coupled with practical instruction. The portion of Timothy that you refer to needs to be read from verse 1-11, to be properly understood. Paul had left Timothy at Ephesus to deal with false teachers who were straying from the Truth...

Hi @marks, I can understand why you should ask this question. Yet if you look at 1 Corinthians 12, you will see that a body is used to illustrate the distribution of spiritual gift, as pertaining to the Corinthian assembly. It speaks of it's members as members of the body, hands and feet and...

' ... And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: ... ' (John 20:22) Hello @Waiting on him, Thank you for drawing my attention to this little verse, here the risen Christ equips His disciples for the commission He gave them in the...

@Candidus @Bobby Jo @Reggie Belafonte @quietthinker @Enoch111 @Giuliano Thank you for your input. I am not skilled to interpret these events myself. In Christ Jesus Chris

'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.' (Gen 2:7) Hello Giuliano, We appear to have differing understanding concerning what the soul is. I believe that it is the whole person energised by...
