I guess my point is, why would he not just say, 'I praised the dead more than the living'. I don't believe it to be a hyperbole. Stranger

I believe it does speak to a past and future existence. Stranger

Phoneman777 Concerning post #424 Body plus the breath of God produces the soul. Body, soul, and spirit. Pretty simple really. (Prov. 20:23) says 'spirit of man'. Thus it speaks to the spirit of man. Which means man has a spirit. Concerning (Heb. 4:12), again, it doesn't say 'dividing...

I pray also for President Trump that he not only finishes these 4 years, but that he is elected for another 4 years. That way he can put more justices on the Supreme Court, and thwart all the minorities efforts to make America a third world country. I pray that he gets the wall built at...

It is not the first time I have been blocked here without explanation. Seems to be a common thing. Why? Who knows. Stranger

That appears to be an interpretation of (4:1) I was looking for what some thought of (4:2). What does (4:2) mean? Upon first reading one might think it says, it is better to be dead than alive. But, that is not all it is saying. Else it would have said only that. There is something else...

I have not been able to reply to posts because a sign keeps coming up saying I have been blocked. Yet no explanation as to why? Does anyone know? Stanger

I was just in the book of (Ecclesiastes) and saw a verse I had underlined in my Bible and in the margin I had wrote, 'powerful verse'. And it is. I want to give it and let others toss it around and see what you come up with as to it's meaning. I believe I do understand it, which is why I...

Yes, they come from the book of (Ecclesiastes). And explanation of them is quite simple, which is why the location of the verses was probably not given. (Ecc. 9:4-6) "For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know...

(Heb. 11) is not giving quotes either from Old Testament or anywhere else. It is simply stating the truth of what occurred. It is not referencing in any way. Just because some apocryphal books speak of some faith or some persecution, does not mean (Heb. 11) is quoting, or referencing, or...

Concerning your post #378 We do not agree. And only presenting part of what I said, to make it look like we do agree, is not....right. Yes, man became a soul. But the body and the breath of God/spirit was involved. Thus, as I said before, the body is not the soul. The breath of God is not...

I agree, who would know better than Jesus. Stranger

It doesn't matter to me how asinine it sounds to you. It is what the Bible teaches. (Rev. 14:11) "And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:..." If Malachi makes it abundantly clear, you should have given the address then and you should give the address now. No, it...

Concerning your post #343 The 'spirit of man' has everything to do with the body, soul, and breath of God. As I showed. No, we do not agree at all. Just because you select a couple of sentences from a paragraph I wrote does not mean we agree. And that which you left out shows why. You...

I'm not shifting anythng. You stated the borders were important to indicate God established a return of the people of Israel to the land. What I am saying is that the borders have never been fully realized that God desires for Israel. The borders were the largest, land wise, under the rule of...

They don't. The apocryphal books are never quoted. Quantrill

There are two incorrect views of satan and his angels and demons. One is like 'aspens' who brushes them off as nothing. And the other is like the opening post which gives them too much power and a reason to fear. The believer in Christ has nothing to fear as not only does he have the Holy...

Nice illustration. Our body, soul, and spirit, are so intricately interwoven by God that we are one person. Only God and His word can make out those divisions. (Heb. 4:12). Stranger

Sorry ByGrace, but not quite 'the end' yet. Nancy, Christ's decension and ascension are connected in (John 3:13) with what Christ was saying in (John 3:3-8). The term 'born again' in (3:3) is really 'born from above'. It speaks of the believers origin. He is from above. If his origin is...

As I said, your example is flawed as you ignore the spirit of man. God created the body out of dust. God breathed into that body His breath of life. The combination of the body and God's breath of life produced the soul. But the body is not the soul. And the breath of life is not the...
