    I'll try to educate you, but I still think it's a futile task. I have done exhaustive studies on topics of Hell, Hades, the Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, I wrote a book called "Hell... If I Know" and so will share a few insightful pages from it. [Unbelieving souls go to Hades (the underworld, but...

    Finally. So you are SDA then? (Non-Trinitarian, soul sleep and Amillennial) -- what a combo! Unless a Christadelphian or some kind of non-creedal Universalist. It would nice if you weren't so secretive about your Church. Why? Fear that we will quickly dismiss you and won't waste our time...

    No tension. I'm right at 120/80_ at 4AM _ in bed ... so didn 't have any coffee yet. You start the thread by calling us liars who you presume fell into this deception - sure all 2.7 billion of us. Yes, that's straightforward! There are 9 million JW's who believe in soul sleep ( among many...

    Chaos in Minnesota...ICE agents attacked, protester shot

    The ICE agent reacted in a way as if his life was in danger and it seems another agent was trying to get in the vehicle. This blocking the road with her car was her 1st act of lawlessness, impeding federal police right of way. Then disobeying their verbal commands was her 2nd act. Her 3rd act...

    It's comical that you would even try to figure the meaning behind the percentages of only 7 votes. The mass majority of Christians would not open this thread due to it's reprehensible assumption. It's a turn off, despicable. There are 2.5+ billion Christions who believe they go to heaven when...

    Luke 16:19-31 UD NOT A PARABLE! This is not symbolic language, and is to be taken literally. Why? Parables DO NOT include specific names of real people, like Abraham, nor his spiritual location. It is also clear that the Rich man and Lazarus are real souls! Prior to Christ's death and...

    The dead physical body looks like it's sleeping. When we are sleeping, we are not dead, nor are Christians who die actually dead - we are alive as Jesus pro.ised we would be. This is why Jesus used the term sleeping. He did not bring anyone from Hades back to life, because they are dead, not...

    That's the point. The dead in this verse refers to those who do not know God, have no faith; therefore have suffered the sting of death. Christians and all OT saints who lived by faith have not suffered the curse of death BECAUSE Christ died for our sins and His blood sacrifice is imputed to all...

    No, he didn't say depart 2 Cor. 5:8 The correct Greek translation is: "We are confident and pleased rather to be absent the body and to be home with the Lord." Context >>> Go back a to verse 6: " being confident therefore always and knowing that being home in the body , we are absent from the...

    I just did. To be absent the body is to be present with the Lord.( 2 Cor. 5:8) Do you see a separation of time in that relationship? Phil. 1:23; Luke 23:43; John 3:16, 5:24, 8:51, 11:25-26; Joshua 1:9. 1 Cor. 15:54-55; Psalm 23:4; Rom. 8:38-39; Hosea13:14; 1 Thes. 4:13-14

    Believing one way or the other may alter your disposition, the level of your hope, joy, strength in your faith. Paul said, " to be absent the body is to be present with the Lord". Do you understand what that means? You possess a body, soul and spirit. When you separate the body that goes into...

    Who are the Sorcerers and Dogs outside the New Jerusalem?

    "Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the...

    Who are the Sorcerers and Dogs outside the New Jerusalem?

    Commandments? Jesus gave us two. If you believe in Him you will do what he says. The Tree of Life is figurative language meaning to consume the Bread of Life, Jesus. He is the source of spiritual life, not to mention physical life as well. Adam and Eve did not eat of the Tree of Life ... until...

    Conspiracy Theories

    God created good food and healing herbs for us to eat. We have just chosen to distort and add to His intended purpose. There are some 10k food additives and many are not good. Europe has banned over 1,300 of them that the USA still uses. I often come to the conclusion that Big Pharma and The...

    Who are the Sorcerers and Dogs outside the New Jerusalem?

    The scribes who organized the chapters of these books did well except sometimes the context carries over to the next chapter. Imo Rev. 22:1-5 should have been the end of Rev. 21. Vs 6 goes back, sums things up, and should be the beginning of Rev. 22. "These are the messages to the churches ..."...

    Conspiracy Theories

    Scary. I know some of them work; but I have always used natural cures and have avoided doctors and their drugs most of my life.

    FAITH IS NOT A GIFT

    If that is true, then why are you trying to dismiss me by clinging to one truth that does not support your OP? Or are you trying to make others think that I am in agreement with you? Those tricks don't work. Come on, we have a history of disagreeing with each other, I doubt if you miss me, Bro...

    FAITH IS NOT A GIFT

    Grace is unmerited favor which is from God, His expression of love which we receive as a gift. But faith cannot possibly come unless He removes our blindness. That is impossible for us to do bybourselves, it is supernatural. He removes blindness, we see, then become enlightened and grow in...

    Revelation 20: 5&6

    I do not think theTemple will be built soon enough. Holy place means separate. Jerusalem was considered a holy place, separate and distinct from all other cities in the Bible. The Mosque itself is an abomination and stands in the Holy place where the Temple used go be. Abomination is what is...
