Thank you HammerStone.

Joe, I do not bring God down as you suggest. God is gorified in the condemnation and glorification of men. For by judging the wicked God is glorified, and by exulting the righteous God is glorified. What you argue is weak because the same word we use for God being eternal is the same word...

I do not see the gospel as being "rough." The word gospel means "good news." To think of suffering, we all do, believers and nonbelievers. Anything worth attaining is worth the effort given, yet salvation is a gift from God. How difficult is it to receive a gift? With that said though...

Feel free to PM me. I want to make myself available to you in whatever facet I can.

Son of Man, The place we await is that which the Lord Himself is preparing. What is spoken of is the kingdom of Heaven. To be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord, which is far better. To me that experience is Heaven.

Attitudes and emotions shape our experiences both inward and outward. Attitudes and emotions effect people experiencing your direction and or source.

Rocky, Matthew 12 36 “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37 “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Romans 2:6 6 who will render to each person according to...

No, in the Bible. Rev 6:9 Trekson, The seven year trib period is equal to Daniel's last week.

I am sorry and grieve the loss. Furthermore, the same phrase that means forever is used of God being alive forever (Rev 15:7), of eternal life (Jn 10:28), and of eternal torment (Rev 14:11). This is the same word used in context by the same author. How can the definition change?

First you stated "There is no scriptural foundation for anyone being taken to heaven which is Gods throne." which I disproved completely. Rev 6:9 is a clear indication that there are souls in Heaven. Ephesians 2:6 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in...

Joe, You didn't use the verse properly and you use no references, am I to just take you at your word? That is not scholarly.

2 Co 12:2 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. Rev 4:2 2Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the...

Joe, Interesting quote for you. Charles Ryrie A Survey of Bible Doctrine The punishment of the unsaved is not annihilation, nor will they be restored after some time of punishment. In other words, the Bible does not allow for conditional immortality (final annihilation) or classic...

The Judgments of the Future THE JUDGMENT OF BELIEVERS’ WORKS After the church is taken to heaven through translation and resurrection, individual believers will be judged for their works done as Christians (1 Co 3:11–15). Salvation with its assurance of heaven is not in question, only whether...

Always look on the bright side of life!

John 13 34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Prentis, I wish you would have started with this verse in your OP! I now understand better what it is you are conveying, yet I still hold this to you. Hebrews 3:6 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope...

I believe when you are referring to Paul you are talking about the Hebrews passage? Remember there was not chapter breaks in the original manuscript. 19 So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief. 1 Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest...

Personally I like the NASB. Mungo has the right idea. Also you may want to check out the NET Bible. Arnie, Much easier to read the last two!
