Hello @RonaldMcjeraldMcjerald, I can understand why @Angelina finds it hard to understand what you are trying to convey, because so do I. Your words appear to contradict one another. It could be that as Angelina has said, that she is from New Zealand, and that her perspective and manner of...

'Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: .. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: .... I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: ...... I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: ...

'And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; .. and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; .... and the graves were opened; ...... and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after His resurrection, .. and went into the...

Hello @farouk, You make it sound as though I were admitting having committed an offence. :) I have researched this subject, by comparing Scripture with Scripture, thoroughly, so I have no problem with stating what I believe regarding it, for I know that I am on solid ground. That you disagree...

Hello @Waiting on him, We are not told, but I believe that like Lazarus, they were raised to natural life, but not resurrection life, therefore they would still be subject to death. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.' (Romans 5:1-2) Hello @marks, We agree with the statement above though don't we? That...

Hello @Dave M, I agree that the Holy Spirit does not leave when the event described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 takes place. However, I do not believe that it is the Holy Spirit that is being referred to in 2 Thessalonians 3:7. I have just discussed this on another thread in reply#161 (link...

Hello @Joseph77, I think I follow your meaning: but I do not believe that the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church fall into those categories. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Joseph77, I agree that as the prince of this world, and the god of this age, Satan does rule in this world of sin. However, when I said that 'he' dominates the world for a short time: I was not referring to Satan, but to the Beast through whom Satan receives world worship at the end...

Hello @Joseph77, Yes to all of the Apostles and Prophets of the New Testament, the truth of 'The Mystery of Christ' was made known, having been the subject of the writings of the Old Testament Prophets, but revealed to them by Divine revelation. However it was to Paul alone that 'The Mystery'...

'I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and ...

Hello there, This debate is sounding now very like that condemned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13. Paul, Peter and the twelve all spoke as directed by their risen Lord. Yet it was to Paul that the truth concerning the Church of this present dispensation was given: The Church which is His...

Does the Holy Spirit prevent wicked from being revealed? 'And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. .. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: .... only he who now letteth will let, ...... until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be...

Hello @farouk, In reply #56, that you are responding to, it was the fires of Gehenna (G1067), referred to by the Lord, that I was considering. References to which are found in :- Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:29-30; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 18:9; Matthew 23:15; Matthew 23:33. Mark 9:43, Mark 9:45...

Hello there, @kcnalp The Lord Jesus Christ did refer to the fire of Gehenna, which is associated with end time judgement, fire which will be used for the purpose of destuction. However the example of Pharisaic teaching the Lord used in Luke 16:19-31, is not a literal account, but the use of...

Hello @marks, I didn't add any words to the text, simply highlighted what was already there to emphasise a point. I believe there to be more than one resurrection. The one referred to in (reply #47) from 1 Thessalonians 4, being just one. That one being associated with the hope of the Hebrew...

'Behold, I shew you a mystery; .. We shall not all sleep, .... but we shall all be changed, ...... In a moment, ........ in the twinkling of an eye, .......... at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, .. and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, .... and we shall be changed. For...

'Jesus saith unto her, "Thy brother shall rise again." Martha saith unto Him, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth...

'But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made...

Hello @Enoch111, I agree that John came in the spirit and power of Elijah, and was not Elijah in the flesh. However, I do not agree that Elijah appeared in person on the mount of transfiguration, for what was seen on the mount of transfiguration, by Peter, James and John, was called a...
