    Hell . . . The Good News.

    Or as Luke puts it in Luke 12: 4) “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5) But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power [authority] to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear...

    Hell . . . The Good News.

    Please explain how you match up "Mystery of Iniquity" with reincarnation. That phrase only occurs once in the Bible, in 1 Tessalonians 2:7 : "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way." (KJV) "For the mystery of...

    Hell . . . The Good News.

    I take it literally. Jesus is saying that he has come from heaven, that we are from the earth but he is not. No, it means that we are "of this world". A more understandable translation is "The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol" (WEB). It is not...

    Hell . . . The Good News.

    I agree, that is not taught by the Bible. The KJV footnote gives the more precise meaning of the Hebrew. Instead of "in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die", it should say "in the day that thou eatest thereof, dying thou shalt die". In the very day that the ate the fruit...

    How Could Have Satan Sinned?

    Precisely. (Rev 21:8) But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” We live once, then die, are resurrected, then there is God's...

    How Could Have Satan Sinned?

    "Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment" (Heb 9:27).

    How Could Have Satan Sinned?

    I think you left out some crucial information too! ;) That quote was from Matthew chapter 5: 22) But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council; and...

    How Could Have Satan Sinned?

    Is hate a sin? Note Malachi 1:2,3 - “Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” says Yahweh, “Yet I loved Jacob; but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness”. So has God sinned? (See the quote from Romans 9 below for the apostle Paul's...

    How Could Have Satan Sinned?

    How could Satan have sinned? I'd say that he didn't sin in heaven; he sinned when he was on the earth. But also you need to define what sin is. A sin is anything which a person does that causes upset, hurt, loss, distress, pain, or unhappiness to anyone else. It's effectively the opposite of...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    I think I have shown that the Trinity doctrine was not part of the Gospel that Paul preached, and was not part of the doctrine of the early church. The Protestant churches were formed because they were "protesting" against the many doctrinal errors of the Roman Catholic church. They removed...

    When was Jesus born?

    Jesus was crucified in 33AD. Daniel 9:27 tells us that Jesus' ministry would last 3.5 years (half of a "week" of seven years). He began his ministry when he was thirty years old (Luke 3:23). Therefore he would have been born 33.5 years before Passover 33AD, which is about the beginning of...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Yes, most definitely. Jesus confirmed it in Rev 1:18, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore". The Bible tells us that those who are dead are unconscious - "there is no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, where you are going" (Ecc 9:10)...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Yes God's punishment for sin is death, but the point I was trying to make is that God's perfect justice is an equal punishment is required, so if someone removes your tooth the just punishment would be to remove his tooth too. Therefore the perfectly just thing required to redeem Adam was an...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Background information on the Trinity (continued) Note that the writings of the apostle Paul contain no support for the Trinity, and he claimed to have received the gospel direct from Jesus: “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Background information on the Trinity The doctrine of the Trinity is a false doctrine that neither Jesus nor God taught. It is an error that did not begin to be elaborated and formulated until the beginning of the fourth century AD. The following is a quote from the conclusion of The Church...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    No, I didn't realise that. When it says "there is to us only one God, the Father" I understand that to mean that the Father alone is God. It's not a difficult to understand verse. Orignally only God existed, so everything in existence exists because of God. God designed the whole universe...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Is English your first language? You seem to not understand it very well. You had said to me, "You ... state that Jesus Created the World, as only GOD could do this", and therefore implied that Jesus must be God if Jesus created the world. So I asked where does the Bible say that only God...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    We seem to be going round in circles here! Such humilty and modesty! Paul said, "But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed" (Gal 1:8). So please tell me which of Paul's verses that I have quoted I have not understood, and...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    That would just be a sham though, and not satisfy God's perfect justice ("life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot", Deu 19:21). God is immortal (Paul said of God, "who alone has immortality" 1 Tim 6:16), so God could not die (who said God can do anything? He...

    The Seed of your Righteousness

    Just out of interest, I've gone back and tried counting how many verses of the Bible user 'Behold' and I have referenced and quoted up to the point of your reply. I've tried to be accurate, but please check for yourself too. I think 'Behold' had referenced about 10 Bible verses (although most...
