    'Wherever there is a carcass......' Matthew 24:28

    In Jesus's discourse regarding his return he directs us to watch and be ready. He speaks about the global visibility of his coming then in vs 28 of Matthew 24 he says 'wherever there is a carcass there the vultures will be gathered' What is your understanding of these words?

    Soul Sleep?

    I'm surprised you ask this question Enoch as the spirit/soul issue has been thrashed out here more times than I remember. I will however reiterate. Firstly, soul/spirit are not entities in themselves. They have no consciousness or mind of their own. The account of the creation of man is...

    Soul Sleep?

    Don't see that at all Enoch. One has to distort the definitions of soul and spirit to see what you assert.

    Paul And The Law

    Its really not that difficult to understand. A love of sin will keep a man running from Gods law if he is out of tune with it and sure, the sin is hidden or well disguised, never in your face until under pressure...it is the logic of the serpent in Eden. To make it confusing for themselves and...

    How do you hear from God?

    I hear him in conviction. It's usually that still small voice....never imposing. I also hear him in the world of nature...the elements, the animals and plants. Like that song, 'this is my Fathers world'....I'm sure you know it. His presence is recognised by a gut level peace. In the past I...

    Occam's razor and bible prophecy

    Knowing the scriptures undoubtedly has me persuaded that they are the Word of God. There is a multilayered depth to them whose meanings are contingent upon having one's eyes opened. One would expect a depth that defies common human logic while it's treasures are only opened to the earnest heart...

    Paul And The Law

    I'm not adding anything. The Law is as eternal as God, from everlasting to everlasting. It is you who want to break Gods Law with impunity and are trying to use God's word for that end. Do you have any idea how dangerous a game you are playing?

    Paul And The Law

    It seems to me you don't understand that it is Gods broken Law which subsequently resulted in death. Do you remember the text, 'the wages of sin is death'? and 'sin is the transgression of the Law'? Do you have any idea that God's Law is a transcript of his character....do you understand what...

    Paul And The Law

    Are you aware that these texts are speaking to those who reject Jesus? In rejecting him they also reject God and his Law in spite of them giving lip service to it. Those in Galatians want unholy glory....those in John want to commit murder. Using the scriptures to enamour yourself in rebellion...

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    You deliberately fail to qualify what 'it is finished' means because it suits you to make it mean whatever your imagination conjures up to support your point of view yet you will not put it in writing because you know you will be held accountable for what you print. Either way, credibility...

    Paul And The Law

    Perhaps you could give explain why you dismiss God's laws as unnecessary just because you choose to break them? By the way, I can't say I have ever considered myself 'religious'.....certainly not like a football fan or a business man whose world revolves around making money.....not even a...

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    The story of the five wise and five foolish virgins was not told for entertainment but rather so that those who take on the name of Jesus are aware that evil doers (law breakers) do not enter the Kingdom of God even though they thought they were onside with Jesus.

    Paul And The Law

    Brakelite's question is not a trick nor is it to deceive. It is a straight forward reasonable question but because it does not fit into your understanding of how things should be you are quick to label him as a partner of the devil. The scripture recounts various incidences where those...

    OSAS is the result of the finished work of the cross

    All who reject Gods commandments do so because they love the sin it prohibits. There is no other reason to reject what the scripture calls good and holy. All the fancy footwork to avoid taking the law seriously has at its core this objective.

    Soul Sleep?

    Firstly Hidden, the expression 'soul sleep' as such is not one found in the scriptures. It is an expression coined external to the scriptures. Secondly, the scripture uses the expression 'sleep' for the death we experience in the present time on earth. It uses this term because all who have...

    ....many will say to me 'Lord, Lord'...

    Thank you for your comments Hidden...please reread the texts I quoted, John 8:30-59 Jesus is addressing the jews who believed in him as stated in vs 31. The continuing context confirms this. There is no shift of audience.....finally those same ones addressed took up stones to throw at him, vs 59.

    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    Thank you Nancy for seeing the obvious.

    You still have not answered the original question sir. Do you need a refresher?
