What is the difference between your view and soul sleep? Do you believe that the souls of the dead in Christ are doing literally nothing in heaven?

Are you talking to anyone in particular? What prompted this? Anyway, the Pharisees did know the law of Moses very well, so it was okay to follow their teaching about the law. But, they did not always obey the law of Moses themselves. So, Jesus was saying to do what they say since they taught...

How does 1 Corinthians 15:28 indicate that those faithful servants can't have authority at that point? Please explain in detail what you mean by that.

Why are you trying to make it as if rewards for believers are not part of the parable when that is so clearly the case? No matter what the surrounding verses say, you can't deny that. You understand that any of those Pharisees who rejected Christ and never repented will have to stand before Him...

What relevance does that have to the discussion? You were not already aware of this? We can only speculate on that, of course. The following verse suggests that the soul and spirit are separate parts, but joined together and practically inseparable. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive...

I completely disagree with you as well. I'm not convinced at all by your argument here. The parable clearly does focus partly on rewards for believers, so nothing you say can change that. The parable does relate to the same event as Jesus talked about in Matthew 25:31-46 because it has to do...

Yes, He did. Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and...

Keep dreaming. That will never happen. I am predestined to be an Arminian. LOL. I don't entirely agree with Arminianism, but I guess it's the label that most closely fits what I believe.

Right. A symbolic woman cannot sit on seven literal mountains. The symbolic woman sits on many symbolic waters (Rev 17:1) and she sits on a symbolic scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns (Rev 17:3). So, a symbolic woman sits on seven symbolic mountains. In scripture, mountains...

Was His spirit raised from the dead or His body? That's only talking about His body. I don't know why you don't want to differentiate between His body and His spirit.

Who is the one who likes to claim that no one can reasonably argue with his claims? Not me. I never say that. But, you do fairly often. So, stop being a hypocrite. I have changed my view on at least a couple things fairly recently, so you are wrong about me. I have studied scripture for a long...

Where is this taught in scripture? How far do we take this? Why didn't He live to at least the average human life span and experience what it's like to be an old person with all the issues that tends to bring if He had to "experience being fully human"? I'd say He experienced being human plenty...

I interpret things differently than you do. I do not change anything. If all you're going to do is accuse me of changing scripture, then I'm done with you. I have many better things to do than deal with someone falsely accusing me of something that I'm not doing.

I normally do not go to external sites that people share on here because I'm here to talk to you and the people who are here, not to Clark Becker. I can't talk to him. But, I made an exception this time. His argument about Jesus saying He had not yet ascended to the Father in heaven when talking...

What does this have to do with the discussion we were having?

Is your answer to my question "I don't know" then? If so, just say so. But, I'm not asking the question you're asking, I'm asking why Jesus would need to go to Hades/hell in particular which is the place where the spirits of unsaved people go when they die?

Nope. Hearsay (noun): information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor. A heretic, in relation to Jesus and to Christianity, is someone who denies the truth of Jesus and of Christianity itself. Someone who believes something that denies who Jesus is and...

Why would the spirit of Jesus have went to Hades/hell for 3 days? What would have been the purpose of that?

LOL. No one is calling you a heretic for this particular belief that you have. It's not a major issue.

Angels are referred to as "the clouds of heaven" if that's what you mean. I assume you're not talking about the rain clouds in the sky? And what is the point of all this, anyway?
