Hope this clears this up for you so you'll believe the Bible does not contradict itself. 1. Old Covenant saints before Christ went to Abraham's Bosom, also called Paradise. And so did the thief on the cross until Jesus resurrected. 2. Abraham's bosom is now empty because New Covenant saint's...

Abraham's Bosom (or Paradise) was for Old Covenant saints until Christ came. Now His Church goes to heaven when they die, and all who were watching for the Messiah from the Old Covenant are there too.

Jesus died and took the thief to Paradise for just a couple days, until Jesus, Himself, resurrected and emptied Paradise. cc: @Sabertooth

Abraham's Bosom and Paradise are the Old Covenant places for the righteous dead before the resurrection of Christ. But when Christ was resurrected, they were seen walking the streets of Jerusalem. I believe they ascended to heaven when Christ did, they didn't go back to Paradise. Paradise is...

Seeing as the Psalms were written in the Old Testament/Old Covenant, the righteous went to Abrahams bosom, and the evil went to the other side, and in between there was a great gulf. Only Christians (after Christ's death and resurrection go straight to heaven, and the wicked to outer darkness...

Edit an s in at the end of Psalms so we can see the text.

Hey brother, I like what you are saying. It is important to be righteous, for as Hebrews 12:14 says, "without holiness, no man shall see God." I do believe that you are not perfect at the beginning of our walk with Christ, so this part I do not agree with. 2 Peter 1:5-7 shows what must happen...

Just looked outside and it has snowed on Christmas Eve!!!

But you do agree that Satan "changed his mind" and sinned don't you?

I think when Satan tempted Eve in the garden, it may have been his first sin too. Because he was in the Garden of Eden, I assume, before iniquity was found in him. Satan was also known as the King of Tyre. Ez. 28 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a...

Absolutely. We can be angry, and still not sin. And you named it correctly, "righteous indignation" like Jesus and the moneychangers!

I'm zeroing in of the absent wording in modern translations. This is just one segment from the whole Sermon on the Mount and Lord's Prayer. Other verses that modern translations leave out crucial words is Romans 8:1 and 1 John 5:7. Whenever a new version comes out on the market, all I have to do...

This may answer your question: Here is a difference in Bible translations: King James Version: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. New American Standard Bible: 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with...

Hi QT, I think God does have a reign on Satan, otherwise Satan would have killed off mankind. One verse I love is 1 John 5:18. We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

The reason he sinned was free will. At the end, only those who willfully are overcomers and righteous and holy will be there. And that is the way they will remain. There will be no one there who could sin again. Satan doesn't have the capacity to repent. That is given by God.

Bible alone? Not without the infilling of the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2: 6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which...

Are you right? No, it does confirm that God's grace, itself, is divine power. Just as when Paul is weak, God's grace or power is sufficient to help and keep him. He doesn't need unmerited favor, but strength to deal with messengers of Satan. The style is shown in the examples and always has a...

Jesus was angry, but did not sin. He turned over the tables, but didn't kill anyone. Righteous indignation is not sin. But you can let it go too far and sin. Like killing abortionists and their employees. Epeshians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not If you and your spouse get angry, walk away and...

Our modern definition of grace can get some western civilizations in trouble if they superimpose their own style or meaning to the writing of the apostles. First, the apostles were all Jews. They wrote in Semitic styles of writing. One of those styles is parallelisms. You can easily identify a...

Righteous anger turning to rage.
