    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    I think you might be correct Drop, since the first resurrection has happened, those who qualify to go to heaven might not have to go to the grave for any time. I really do not know. You are reading a version that placed the comma in the wrong place Drop, as Jesus did not go to his paradise for...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    I agree Heart, although I hadn't kept abreast of that prophecy and thought those waters might be rebounding a bit, but I googled it, and found that those waters are still drying up. Thanks for posting that Heart.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    Romans 10:13-15; Acts 15:14. Are you able to look in the world today and see a people for His name sir?

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    The We pretty much agree on all the first part of what you said Rw, the Bible does address your last thought however at Acts 24:15: . . .there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Those who were God's people both prior to Christ, and afterward will be the...

    The Garden of Eden: where it really is contrary to where everyone has looked.

    That is a great point DJ for sure. Yes the flood would have altered the terrain considerably. Personally I am very ignorant on it's location, the brothers could have told me it was in Arizona and I would have believed it. One thing I do know for certain however, is that no one knows exactly...

    Only Two Times of Resurrection, Not Three

    We say those dead bodies were shaken out of their graves and not resurrected. I fully understand why you think they were, and I assume you believe they were like the other nine resurrections that were done prior to Jesus' sacrifice and they died again. If you believe they were part of the first...

    The Garden of Eden: where it really is contrary to where everyone has looked.

    Well DJ, your guess is as good as anyones' sir, it was definitely somewhere, but none of us know exactly where it is. Perhaps you are correct, who knows.

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    I think we are misunderstanding each other Rw, I gather you don't think there will be 2 1000 yr periods, and neither do I sir. Let me expound a bit, we believe Jesus was enthroned as King over a century ago, and that ushered us into the last days of this world Mat 24:3. We are very near the end...

    "Looking For The Loophole...

    How thankful we can be maam that God gave us His word to set matters straight. You are quite right, it is ludicrous to think that a God of Justice and Love would torture any living creature eternally. Yet so many believe that, what they don't believe of course, is that God is not going to do...

    They Are Going To Hell And They Are Happy About It = Luke 8;14

    The Bible does say the day of one's death is better than the day of their birth maam Ecc 7:1

    The Garden of Eden: where it really is contrary to where everyone has looked.

    We believe it was in Assyria about 200 miles north of Ninevah which would place it around the border of Turkey and Iran today.

    Outer darkness

    Simple maam, teachings. People believe many things others tell them, especially if it is from a trusted friend, especially if they are an authority figure. Perhaps you know what hell is, it is the abode of the dead, and thus everyone that dies goes there, there is: no work nor planning nor...

    Understanding The Resurrection To Come

    Yes sir Davy, you are absolutely correct, and that is why Jesus used the term to those who knew what it is, so you see clearly how fitting of a symbol it was. And how thankful we can be that God chose to give it's meaning in the same verse both times it is given. It means the second death...

    Only Two Times of Resurrection, Not Three

    Because it would basically nullify the need for Jesus' sacrifice sir, he had not yet appeared before the person of God to present his sacrifice to Him. (Hebrews 9:24) . . .For Christ entered, not into a holy place made with hands, which is a copy of the reality, but into heaven itself, now to...

    Last day prophecies fulfilled

    Why would I Be? He has not returned yet, that is yet future. He has however, began his presence which started the last day stretch of this world.

    Is knowing what death is a comfort?

    God's people are recorded as using God's name many times in the Bible Byrd. Ex 9:16 shows His desire for it. And no even though some versions of the Bible use fame there, name occurred in the original. Jesus used God's name making it manifest to his close associates Jn 17:6 and of course his...

    No Cross of our own, then no Cross of Christ for us

    That is not exactly why I don't believe you Rob, and perhaps you even believe that sir, but I have to side with God on that one, I never argue with what is in the Bible, if it says it, I believe it, discounting interpretations of what it says however. When it straightforwardly states we all sin...

    Jesus was made Lord and Christ at His resurrection

    Yes sir the distinction. I think the reason you chose not to answer is rather obvious Wrangler.
