At the time of the resurrection and rapture of the Church, nobody is resurrected "to condemnation in the lake of fire". It is a resurrection of the Church only, and they all are caught up to be forever with Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:17). The verses you quote are referring to the second...

1 Corinthians 15:50 (50) Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable. In order to get into heaven we need to be changed to have a spiritual body. Only Christians are promised that. Everyone else, will be...

Or: 5) There are 13/14 because Jesus was also an apostle - Hebrews 3:1 (WEB): (1) Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus; 6) There are 14/15 because Baranabas also became an apostle - Acts 14:14 (ESV): (14)...

Taking each of those verses in turn, but using a better translation than the NIV (which I don't like because it is not a very accurate translation): Numbers 16:32-33 (WEB): (32) The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households, all of Korah’s men, and all their goods...

I had written: "If you can't sufficiently prove from Scripture what you believe, and why you think I'm wrong, then it's pointless you participating in this discussion. Just saying something but not giving any Scriptural support for your claims is valueless." and you reply with that nonsense...

I didn't say "nonexistence". The important point is that death is an unconscious state, like a deep sleep, so that we have no thoughts or feelings. I explained that in my previous posts. Jesus likened death to a sleep, and dead people are referred to as sleeping throughout the Bible, e.g...

Hebrews 7 does not say that. Please explain how you come to that conclusion. From the WEB: (15) This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, (28) For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath...

It is easy to be confused about soul and spirit, as a result of translation difficulties from Hebrew and Greek. I think of it as: spirit - we have a spirit part, which is what survives death in an unconscious (non-functioning) state, and which God can restore to conscious life when He...

I did not say the soul is the body. Is that all you can say rather than coming up with any Bible verses that support your idea of a "spiritual death"? As I previously wrote, you're not sticking exactly to what the Bible teaches, despite claiming that you do so. Jesus said, Matthew 10:28...

Philippians 3:3 (WEB): (3) For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh; Revelation 19:10 (WEB): (10) Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant...

Hebrews 7:3 (WEB): (3) without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually. The Levitical priesthood was hereditary, so it was important to the Jews to be able to prove they were...

The way it is written is a bit ambiguous (it's a long sentence that mentions God and Jesus). So in such a case it is helpful to search the Scriptures for further clues, such as John 1:18 and 6:46 (WEB): (1:18) No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the...

Humans are not immortal. Only God was immortal, 1 Timothy 6:16 (WEB): (16) who {God} alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. The Greek word that is translated as immortal is athanasia which means...

You're imagining things! I can't see any Bible quotes from you that mention "spiritual death". There is not a single verse in the Bible that mentions "spiritual death". The words 'spirit' or 'spiritual', and 'death' do not appear in the same verse anywhere in the Bible, no matter which...

As I wrote, the KJV says in its footnote for Genesis 2:17 that in the Hebrew it states "dying thou shalt die", just as the YLT translates it as "dying thou dost die". This is not hijinks, it is study of God's word. It is not a lying translation. I have not changed anything. I'm just...

Wrong, as you have already shown - "The soul that sins, it shall die.", Ezekiel 18:20 (MKJV). Yes. No, Jesus did not come in a supernatural body, he came in a human body - Hebrews 2:14 (WEB): (14) Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way...

Obviously. Jesus did not have a human father. Nobody else has been born by a virgin mother. He had a human mother, so his body was created from human DNA, from one of Mary's eggs. God only supplied the Y chromosone so that he was born male, not female (see Unique blood of Jesus). I don't...

Barnes Bible Notes says: Master, who did sin? ... - It was a universal opinion among the Jews that calamities of all kinds were the effects of sin. See the notes at Luk_13:1-4. The case, however, of this man was that of one that was blind from his birth, and it was a question which the...

If you state that you're quoting from a specific translation (KJV) and then you change the text rather than quoting it exactly, then you should make that clear, so that people don't think that you're deliberately trying to deceive them. While "instead of Christ" is a possible interpretation of...

Rubbish. I never said that. You keep accusing me of saying things that I have not said. Even after I have clearly pointed out that I had not said them, you still repeat your claim that I have. Your idiotic response in post #577, where you misinterpret the Cambridge Bible Notes' expression...
