Can anyone please explain the following... The apostle John tells us that sin is the transgression against the law. KJV 1 John 3:4 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Then Paul tells us that the law was added because of...

So scenes such as the following are nothing to be concerned about... Just plain simple old... Idolatry.

How would a missionary explain from scripture why the massive tribes he is speaking to should cease from ancestor worship? How does he explain that who they are worshipping are not their ancestors, but demons, off that missionary firmly believes his own grandmother visits him from time to time...

The only alternative to life is death, and when death is destroyed in the fire what then? I know that's only metaphorical... But it is explained elsewhere... There shall be no more death. Can you explain existence without life that yet has awareness?

Having an inaccurate knowledge of the state of the dead can affect our salvation. KJV Isaiah 8:19-20 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead...

Exactly. Can there be any life, in any of it's forms, if separated from He who gives and sustains it?

Faith was and always will be the foundation of salvation. The first generation were kept out of Canaan not because they failed in the law, but because of unbelief. The principle of righteousness by faith exemplified by Abraham was lost by his descendants who mistakenly trusted in their law...

in as much as we are responsible for our own destiny, yes, in a sense it is self inflicted. That said however one would have to explain the conflicting statements that speak of the fire from heaven that destroys everyone outside the walls of the city. But I feel you. Unbelief basically is a...

You went from a discussion on long posts to farting because no-one wrote a long enough post to fully provide all the evidence and completely explain why long posts are sometimes essential in order not to be deceived into believing skunks fart.

What we are doing is revealing the numerous holes in the popular belief of eternal torment and the current obsession with the doctrine of hell despite being totally alien to the character of God and His word. Any honest and truth seeking Christian will recognize these holes through which I could...

Okay, I know Catholics struggle with scripture because they aren't allowed to make up their own minds as to what its actually saying, having to defer to the church even though the church's teaching may contradict scripture. What wild imagination you reveal is exemplified in the texts you have...

You make such a remark to justify your agreement with the devil in the garden, (Genesis 3:4) yet rail against those who point out your deviant interpretation?

What is the inevitable result of any separation from the only giver of life?

There is a great deal more revealed regarding the mystery religion of Babylon than in that one letter/portion of Revelation. The Antichrist inherited a great deal more than the characteristics and teachings of Babylon. Notice in Revelation 13 there are three other empires that comprise the...

Who indeed!!! Absurd!

Actually, yes, it is too much to ask. And too little. If a Catholic gives up what Jesus says to give up, they would cease to be Catholic. They would be excommunicated. They would be in essence, "God's people coming out of her".

My initial question was, without a brain and/or body parts, how does a soul operate? Your texts suggest that whoever you are speaking of does have those body parts... So when does the transition from a body-less entity to a thinking physical entity occur? It must be after the Resurrection right...

did I say that?

No, they don't suffice. They are the same old tired go-to texts that have been dragged up for eons and for which there have always been adequate rebuttals and explanations as to how and why they don't say what you want them to. Three examples... First The parable of Lazarus... He is described as...
