Ac, Again you have not addressed the matters I raised. You are off and running with your cessationist imposition: Women in Acts, with the gifts of the Spirit, could prophesy. However, those gifts were done away with in Acts 28:28. They surely don't exist today, except in a fake, non-Biblical...

In those 'plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face passages', it appears 'plain' to those with a traditionalist view. Take 1 Cor 14:33-35 as an example, 'Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says' (v. 34). BUT ... BUT ... 1 Cor...

Jun, What you called gobbledy-gook is biblical scholarship. Do you realise that to produce both the KJV and Strong's Concordance took the use of scholarship. You have promoted a self-defeating argument - use no scholarship on this forum but you need it (whether you realised or not) to produce 2...

Dale Carnegie wrote an exceptional motivational book many years ago, How to Win Friends and Influence People. You have not done that in, Trying to dumb down and rubbish Christian scholarship. If it were not for scholarship, including translation of your beloved KJB, we wouldn't have...

Jun2u, I don't know which Greek lexicon you quoted but it does not agree with the bible of Greek lexicons, Arndt & Gingrich (1957:184), which translates diakonos in Rom 16:1 as 'deaconess'. The word, prostatis, is from the verb proistemi, used 8 times in the NT. The most extensive word study...

That's NOT what the Bible teaches and I'm being 100% truthful. See the article, Phoebe: Was she an early church leader? In this article, the researcher stated: Romans 16:2 provides us with one more important piece of information about Phoebe that often tends to disappear in translation. There...

Wind, The missionary societies and churches conform to what the Bible teaches of women teaching men (Eph 4:11 does not restrict the gift of pastor-teachers to men only), but it's not the traditional view. This silence of women teachers in a mixed audience, 'for good biblical reasons', has...

This is our assertion, opinion but with little evidence. 'Everything you said was wrong' requires more study by you to arrive at a hyperbole, 'Everything you said ...' I know of excellent, evangelical Bible study groups in Australia that teach sound doctrine from Scripture. I lead one of them...

Ac, Just about every point you made in your thread can be refuted with biblical evidence, thus demonstrating this is your opinion, not based on biblical exegesis. I backed over my son's toy truck. It was destroyed but it did not cease to exist. It was not annihilated. Of course there is no...

brakelite, That didn't deal with my question: 'From where in Scripture do you gain that understanding?' My question related to your belief in soul sleep at death. The Lazarus example doesn't support your case. You've missed something from the story of Lazarus's resurrection when you stated...

Ac28, You provided not one piece of exposition here to demonstrate that the verses support your theory of annihilation and not the evidence of conscious punishment. Of course all of my Scriptures quoted were from the OT. Why? Because of the title of my post, 'Sheol, the Old Testament place...

Welcome on board mate. Where in FNQ do you live? I'm in one of the far northern suburbs of Brisbane, on the edge of suburbia-country. I live just 15 mins from Moreton Bay at Burpengary. I can introduce you to some of the best sand flies in the region. Fishing with results has become a lost...

So you have no other biblical support than Mal 4:1, which states, '‘Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to...

From where in Scripture do you gain that understanding? Will sinners, after death, experience eternal consequences of conscious damnation with torment? If yes, or no, what is your biblical support? Oz

Ac28, Your perspective disagrees with ... Sheol, the Old Testament place for the righteous and unrighteous at death The following examples of the use of Sheol, where people went at death in the OT use figurative language to explain the conditions there. These include: 1. Sheol has “gates”...

Please address what I wrote to you.

brakelite, I'd like your clarification on what you believe about the future punishment of unbelievers. Do you consider there will be no eternal, conscious torment for unbelievers? Is this verse excised from your Bible? '‘Then they [unrighteous] will go away to eternal punishment, but the...
