Stan, You regularly in this thread and elsewhere exalt the value of exegesis and I would agree with you for the need to gain the meaning ek (out of) the text - hence exegesis and not eisegesis (eis = into), which means reading into the text what a person wants it to mean. What have you done...

Josho,

Excellent observation Josho. That's a lovely description of the possibility of what could have happened. But do you know what? God, in his sovereignty of the universe, knew that that would not happen. We know that God is all-knowing of past, present and future events (omniscient) from passages...

Stan, That's one view in the evangelical community. The other view is that human beings are bipartite and that soul and spirit are used interchangeably in Scripture. I espouse the latter view and this biblical material seems to point in that direction: In both Hebrew (ruach) and Greek...

n2, There is a fair amount of your creative speculation here. I note that you included no Scripture to demonstrate your points. There was only one time when Jesus had a body and that was when he was born to the virgin Mary and became flesh until his ascension. How do we know that? The Bible...

The Jews of Israel were not the ones who were needed to affirm the books in the canon of the NT.

Stranger, That's a strange response because it is not what I asked or suggested. My question was simple: Since when was a condition of being in the canon of the NT dependent on being received by Jews in Israel? There are no twists and turns in this question. I would like to know where it is...

Since when was a condition of being in the canon of the NT dependent on being received by Jews in Israel?

Does that include Judith, Bel and the Dragon, Tobit, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Peter, and Gospel of Judas? If not, why not?

BA, n2the light has stated, 'I believe the resurrection happens at death'. That is taken from the Swedenborg church website which he plagiarised. So is the OP of 'Soul Sleep' related to 'the resurrection happens at death'? Oz

I understand perfectly. You plagiarised at #238. There was nothing at the end of #238 to say that it was continuing. Secondly, you refuse to admit you are a follower of Swenborg's Preterism.

Admit what you did. At #238 you committed plagiarism. You stolen another person's writing and did not give credit in that post. To acknowledge in #239 your source is to admit that I caught you out with your plagiarism at #238. Do you admit to being a follower of Swedenborg and that theology?

So you support the heretical Swenborgian theology of Preterist eschatology that Jesus' Second Coming has taken place and is taking place? Is this what you believe?

I quoted you at #238 and you did NOT give the source. You did it at #239 but I was replying to #238. You plagiarised the material at #238 by not identifying where you got it. You still haven't told me whether you are a supporter of Swenborgian theology that promotes the Preterist view of...

Now he has to own up to what he did with plagiarism and promotion of Swedenborgian theology.

Notice that life and immortality are only available through the gospel. What exactly is “the gospel?” The gospel literally means “good news.” Its main message is summed up in the famous passage John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him...

n2thelight, You have taken most of this material word for word from this website: http://www.newchurch.org/societies/dawsonCreek/about/beliefs/God/articles/resurrection Is this your website or have you plagiarised it? This material that you have quoted is from an heretical Swedenborgian...
