    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    One more ... John MacArthur generally interprets Job 14:12—"So a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep"—as a poetic expression of the finality of physical death. He presents it as part of Job's limited, earthly perspective...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    I understand that Job had a limited understanding of the afterlife, where the ghost goes. This passage is really expressing the absence of consciousness of the earthly existence. But in these passages, he delves into Hades: Job 10:21-22, The "land of darkness and deep shadow" is not a...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    Yes, it is set apart for a purpose. We get the word holiday from Holy. It is a special day set apart. That's a pretty good way of putting it. Another word is imputed. But really super imposed is different. Imputed means to attribute, ascribe, or assign something to someone (e.g., "imputed...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    To begin, we need to define these terms. God is Holy (set apart), distinct from creation and absent of sin or evil. Holiness for us is being in Christ. God shares with us His attributes, love, justice, and power. We are in a sense, baptized into holiness. So His elect are made holy, separated...

    Reviving Biblical Christianity (The Way) Part 1

    @Episkopos Holiness AND righteousness is imputed to us by Christ. Our spirits, once born again are pure, white as snow; so that if at any moment we died, we will be presented to the Father without blemish, white as snow. Our flesh is left behind riddled with sin; for "sin dwells in the members...

    GOD's True Israel

    Let's just end this ... your ignorant ... I'm ignorant ... we've hit a wall! That's enough, I'm ending the conversion ... until Jesus returns -- then in the Millennial Kingdom, things will be resolved and we will be able to talk.

    GOD's True Israel

    Yes, no problem with that ... Judah >Ju = Jew. Historically that is correct. Jewish today refers to those who follow Judaism. And so we associate all the Israelites as following the same religion. Jewish denotes the modern ethnoreligiuos identity and cultural community. Likewise, anyone alive...

    Well, it seems like you understand what the second death is, just can't grasp what the first one is all about. Those faithless, godless, unbelievers are conscious in the underworld, Hades. The experience is described in Luke 16 - which is not symbolic, it is a real place.

    The Strait of Hormuz is “closed.”

    Don't compare Trump with the murderous, terrorist Ayatollah or his son, who will likely follow his footsteps.

    GOD's True Israel

    The time of the "Fullness of the Gentiles" does not necessarily identify whether it is pre-trib., mid-trib. or post-trib; just that it signals the end time scenario ( GT). No. Matt. 24:29 Immediately after the distress of those days ... [ the Tribulation of those specific events briefly...

    GOD's True Israel

    Ignorance is not an all encompassing judgment of your knowledge. It can be applied to specific details that you ignor/ overlook, missed, that's all. Apostle Paul identified himself as both a Jew and an Israelite to emphasize his heritage and legitimacy. He said, "I am a Jew" in Acts 22:3, and...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    Partial Preterists believe that most of Revelation (chapters 1–19) was fulfilled by the first-century destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.. Future events would include the Second Coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment, which are detailed in Revelation 20–22. We...

    The Strait of Hormuz is “closed.”

    And now the Ayatollah's son will replace him and he said he will fight to the end. This is a big mistake inserting his son. This is not the will of the people, just another totalitarian regime continued. Grieving over his father, emotional, angry ... of course he wants revenge.

    GOD's True Israel

    In Rom. 11, Paul was from the tribebof Benjamin, and identifies himself as an Israelite. The time in which he is speaking that all Israel will be saved is future. Don't he ignorant! For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own...

    The Current War against Iran and Support for Israel is based on Catholic Counter Reformation Theology.

    Are you a Preterist or Partial Preterist? The Pope or the Roman Catholic are certainly not the anti-christ; nor will there be a revised Roman empire. The motivation behind the current war is terrorism, financed by Iran for decades with ther proxy wars involving Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Shiite...

    GOD's True Israel

    The Gentiles were grafted into the Vine, which started with Israel. Branches were broken off. But according Rom. 11, where Paul makes a clear distinction between Jews and Gentiles); Israel ( a remnant population of Jews, will be grafted into that Vine. Jesus is the Vine. John MacArthur explains...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    Please read post #9 ... or you did just cannot challenge it. "Pslam 6:5 is not a theological statement on the state of the dead, but a desperate plea for God to spare the psalmist's life so he may continue to glorify Him." John MacArthur Psalm 115:17 - There are souls in heaven praising the...

    Can LGBTQ individuals be saved?

    We were all sinners. We all died to ourselves , our ways; so we did not continue practicing our former lives of murdering, lying, stealing, drugs, drunkeness, fornication, etc. When you believe in Christ, there is a change. God changes you and helps you to overcome those addictions, bad habits...

    Why, do people go to grave talking to dirt and statutes, buying flowers?

    People have claimed to have seen UFOs, maybe even aliens. I don't believe they exist. They might have seen angels moving at lightning speed and taking sharp turns that break the.laws of physics ( because spiritual beings are not confined to the laws of physics) or just hallucinations from doing...
