Hello @Enoch111, Perhaps you would give me examples of what the Lord and the apostles had to say on the subject, that you feel I should take note of. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @OzSpen, I have no reason to doubt that you are a 'seeker of truth', Oz. I also have no reason to 'avoid' any passage from Scripture you may present to me. You referred to Luke 16, and the story of the rich man and Lazarus, a story told by the Lord Jesus Christ to illustrate the hypocrisy...

Hello there, @Enoch111, I have no knowledge of any doctrine called, 'Soul Sleep', although I have heard the term used on forums: but that is man's terminology, born of human reasoning. The Scriptures tell us that there is no consciousness in death, as Ecclesiastes 9:5 tells us:- 'For the...

Hello @Enoch111, This is your interpretation of these things. It is not for you to judge what I know or do not know concerning the Church which is the Body of Christ. I rejoice in what God has revealed to me, whether little or much; I suggest you confine yourself to doing the same, instead...

Hello @OzPen, The thread is concerning the value of truth. I am not seeking to 'promote' anything. I simply told the truth concerning the state of the dead, as revealed in the Word of God. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello again @friend of, When you consider the life that is to come, in Christ, in the New Earth and the New Heaven, 'wherein dwelleth righteousness', who would want not to be part of it?! All the turmoil and upheaval of life, with sin and death surrounding us, will be gone: and the love and...

Hello once again, @bbyrd009, We are going to have to stop meeting like this? ;) There is no 'dispute' where Scripture is concerned, only in man's interpretation of it. Bye for now. In Christ Jesus Chris

'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' (Rom 6:23) Hi there, @friend of, If someone were giving you a gift, you would not refuse it on the basis of the behaviour of those who had also received one from the same hand. To do so would...

Hi there, @bbyrd009, I see where you got the thought concerning conflict from now, for it is implied in the subject heading. - 'The Body of Christ vs. The Bride of Christ (pt. 3)' o_O In Christ Jesus Christ

Hello again, @bbyrd009, 'The Body of Christ' is a company of believers, being called out during this dispensation. 'The Bride of the Lamb' is another company which will have the honour of inhabiting the New Jerusalem. They are not in opposition to each other, for they both have their part to...

Hello @bbyrd009, . What 'parables' are you thinking of? o_O The two companies I mentioned are not at odds with each other, they are just two separate companies that the Word Identifies as, 'The Bride of the Lamb' and 'The Church which is the Body of Christ'. Whereas, 'The Bridegroom' is 'The...

Hello Enoch111, The Holy Spirit does not mix His metaphors. The church which is the Body of Christ, is a company which is unique in so many ways, as a reading of the prison epistles of Paul will reveal ( namely: Eph. Phil. Col. 1 & 2 Tim. and Titus). It came into operation with the laying...

Hello @Trekson, I need to take some time to consider all that you have said in your OP, but I thank you for it, and for the manner in which it was presented. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement quoted above from that opening entry: That the Church which is the Body of Christ, ('the...

Hello again, @Soverign Grace, Again, you will not find the word rapture in Scripture, but you will be aware, I'm sure, of the event so entitled, which is 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. 2 Thessalonians 2 and 1 Corinthians 15, are also useful, speaking as they do of the resurrection and of the coming...

Hi @Soverign Grace, Without looking it up, I believe that the word millennium is not in Scripture SG, it simply stands for a period of 1,000 years. That significant 1,000 year period can be found in such Scriptures as Revelation 20. It is a period in which the Overcomers of the tribulation...

Hello @Soverign Grace, In order to understand the TRUTH of where the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth will take place, by whom and why, it is necessary to read all the passages where it is spoken of in Scripture, take note of all that is said, by whom, to whom, at what time, and the...

Hello @OzSpen, There is no consciousness in death. Man does not have an immortal soul, as you can see from such verses as, '... the soul that sinneth it shall surely die'. God only has immortality. There is no life apart from resurrection. The promise to believers is, 'life through His...

Hi @Taken, Oh, I see. Thank you for telling me. However, I don't understand: for all of these are the written word so must be 'True'?? 'And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.' (Mar 10:18) 'And he said likewise to him, Be thou also...

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.' (Psalm 16:11) Hello @Soverign Grace, Your post brings to mind a psalm of Asaph, Psalm 73, in which we can see that when he is occupied with God he is at peace (v.1)...

Hello @Taken, I don't understand. - Who or what is BOL? Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris
