No grump here! Carefulness, yes, but not grumpy.

Well done, The Barrd. That summarises the issue pretty well. There is the added issue of no word order, as in English. Greek is a highly declined and conjugated language (the prefixes and suffixes help determine the meaning of a word and its place in a sentence).

When you commit a logical fallacy, you are engaging in fallacious reasoning, thus prohibiting a logical discussion. It matters not whether you are giving your opinion or not, if your method of expressing it uses logical fallacies, false logic is being used. Do you understand that even in giving...

I note that you didn't answer my question. Do you know, read and exegete the Koine Greek of the NT? It takes someone with a knowledge of Koine Greek to know that there were NO punctuation marks in the Greek. Also, there was no word order (like English) in the Greek. However, Luke 23:43 (ESV)...

And I'm an old man!

It's too bad you didn't read further than 1 Cor 15:29 (ESV). If you had gone on to 1 Cor 15:35-38 (ESV), it would have provided the answer of whether there is a body of the resurrected at Christ's second coming. These verses state: '35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what...

Thank you. I am pleased to accept your apology. However, I would urge you to read carefully what others and I write.

That demonstrates you are not getting your information from Scripture.

That's a massive grammar of over 1,000 pages from Robertson. I have a hard copy. However, I do wish people on Christian forums, who want to quote NT Greek and go no further than Strong's Concordance, would take a few courses in Greek so that they understand the nuances of Greek grammar. I have a...

Thanks, Josho. Don't forget the Statler Brothers who were a class act on the Johnny Cash show for many years. I have one of their gospel albums. You can hear some of their Gospel country songs and an interview by Bill Gaither on YouTube HERE. Yes, the Oak Ridge Boys were very country in their...

Your ad hominem logical fallacy prevents us from having a logical discussion. I will not continue to interact with you when you call my beliefs 'silly beliefs' because they don't agree with yours. When you use logical fallacies, logical discussions are torpedoed. Bye! Bye!

Josho, What would you say are the reasons that you know why people are leaving the church? Oz

ATP, In Rev 1:18 (ESV), Death and Hades are differentiated, so they cannot be synonyms. In many occurrences of Sheol in the OT Greek (Septuagint), Sheol is translated by Hades. Limiting the NT teaching on Hades to the story of the rich man and Lazarus (Lk 16) for an understanding of life after...

Of course. Paul gives a profound exposition of bodily resurrection at the second advent in 1 Corinthians 15 (ESV).

There is not a word in this story to confirm that Jesus used Greek mythology. That's an invention by those who have read the story.

Well said. That's the biblical doctrine of the need for resurrection at the end of the age. 1 Cor 15:12-58 (ESV) affirms this.

The Barrd, Where did I state that Luke 16, the rich man and Lazarus, was a real story and not a parable. Please refer me to where I stated that. It's a false accusation.

Are you a NT scholar who knows the Koine Greek of the NT?

Sorry about that. My problem with melding of URLs. Let's try again: Life after Death: Current Controversies Those who live and believe in Jesus Christ shall never die The Intermediate State for believers and unbelievers: Where do they go at death? However, you didn't even bother to respond...

You have committed the hasty generalization logical fallacy.
