There are certain doctrines Matthew, one of which is the state of the dead which needs to be understood correctly if one wants to make sense of Revelation. It is necessary in order to join the dots correctly. If ones understanding is skewed on this matter, a cohesive picture of Revelation can...

You are assuming this....interesting in itself, hmmm. The record tells us they covered themselves....who knows, their whole person? ...Thus, sin and shame is associated with sexual organs. This needs to be rethought.

Truth is for the purposes of clarity, stability and joy. In itself it is simple, straight forward and liberating however, when error finds its way in it is evidenced as confusion, pride, control and many words.

yes, you could put it like that.

@Matthew.....when you tell a story, let's say a joke, you might start with; there was an Englishman, an Irishman and an American...etc. Straight away your listeners now that you are telling a story (joke) and what matters is the punch line.....that's the whole purpose of the story (joke). Your...

The problem you are having with this Matthew is you don't understand Jewish idiom. This story of Jesus was told to make a point, so don't miss the point. It wasn't told to give us a theology on the state of the dead.

God doesn't give souls to people Matthew....we are souls. Adam became a living soul....when? when God breathed into his nostrils of formed dust the breath of life or spirit. Genesis 2:7

Matthew, the spirit of life that God gives is not a conscious entity in itself.....it is the 'power' that animates the dust, eg, the electricity that makes the light bulb glow when it is switched on does not go anywhere when it is switched off....and the light itself just ceases to be. The term...

For one it's pride in the justification of their point of view and for two, its the insistence of superimposing their need for revenge onto God....a revenge that mirrors the characteristics of Satan himself.

There is a vested interest even though it be macabre for those who insist on God burning certain people for eternity. Because of this I find it pointless to debate with them. Their vision of God and their theology stays primitive and reflects more of their own characters than God's. They have...

I think that goes without saying.....of course some responded....some of all hues and stripes but the general movement of the religious Hebrew system rejected him.....it still does.

To say that Jesus is of the devil is to stifle the conviction by the Sprit that says he is God's man. Those guys knew who Jesus was...they'd been tracking him since Mary was pregnant .....there was the witness of the Magi and the Shepherds ....Simeon and Anna at the temple and the slaughter of...

How can they be named without knowing them?

Yes :) ...you would need to type it into your browser.

here's something different watch.angelstudios.com

Yup, you know about it on this forum and how it works. Have you considered that the sin against the Holy Spirit is non other than putting him on ignore......and what happens then? well, no matter how much he tries to communicate he cannot be heard but to flatter oneself that one is all ears, the...

lol

righto Rita.....are you privileged, are you lucky or are you keen :)

I doubt it This statement was made years after Judas was chosen. Jesus didn't need opposition....he even called him 'friend' at the moment of betrayal are you are saying Jesus set up his own demise? I've said it before....several times....The whip was to move languishing livestock the crack...

Where do people go when they die? They don't go anywhere Matthew. They wait or as the scripture calls it 'sleep' till the resurrection....both good and bad.
