Oh brother! "God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day." Gen. 1:5 A child can conceive that an evening plus a morning together is one 24- hour day. He can see that the moon gives light at night and the sun during the day. One...

I learned a lot in church ... enough to know what death is. I suppose your next question is, what is sin or who is God? Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. He is God, the Creator. So yes, He is the way to reconcile man to God, our mediator.

At death, one's fate is fixed. You are either saved or not! Implying that dead people have a second chance after death removes the urgency of having to believe in this life. The Bible teaches the urgency for salvation, TODAY. "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not...

Spiritual death is the separation from God, with the condemnation/destruction tied to it. Everyone will suffer physical death, which is part of the curse of Adam and Eve's sin. The belief in Jesus, that He died for your sins and rose on the third day, removes that sting of death. You ask God for...

Oh, thanks for the correction, just looked it up. They both experience out of touch perceptions and reactions to reality. "Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and...

You are leaving something crucial out of the story and apparently what you apologized for - what you did, doesn't seem important. "There were a lot of things that happened, and we both played a part." Let's hear about those things!!! Did you kill their dog and hang it from the outside tree...

They apparenting aren't sleeping - but experiencing much terror. Go ahead and spend some more time with those scriptures.

But your comprehension of Hades is really bad! I know, I have lots of them in my family.

I never said hell is a myth, I said it was the Lake of Fire that may not exist now but is an event when God destroys the first earth and first heaven ( along with Hades, all that are in Hades and death itself) in a fervent heat (2 Peter 3:10) Hades is the holding place. It is much deeper than 6...

It is interesting that this thread came out 6 months ago and only one person commented on it. That is typical, no one likes the topic, they stay away from it, even churches steer away from it and maybe just mention it abrubtly, as the unbelievers final destination and that's it - next. Even my...

I agree. I didn't say Matthew was only for the Jews. That was a 3-part question that pertained to different times concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and also the entire world and so Jesus went back and forth with His explanation/prophecy. Thus it includes the Temple destruction, fleeing...

That was some task for one person - didn't know he did it alone. Most modern translations have many dozens of scholars working on them. I think I remember one having 70 scholars taking five years to complete. Anyways, I've been using YLT for a long time, just to double check certain words.

Matthew's gospel is clearly written for a Jewish Christian audience living within the immediate proximity of the homeland itself. Matthew's is the most Jewish of all the gospels. MATTHEW opens with a geneology, pointing the Jews to their Messiah based on their history. Throughout their...

When John was baptizing people, he said "repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Later he said, He who comes after me will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." So that is when the Kingdom opened up. Those who believed from Pentecost on, entered into the "Kingdom" of Heaven, spiritually. We...

We are saved by grace through faith alone; but we recognize the fruit that we see in others: the love, joy, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, self control, faith, peace. God works on these attributes, grows them within us throughout our lives. The conundrum is that He has His chosen on...

We are saved by grace through faith alone; but we recognize the fruit that we see in others: the love, joy, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, self control, faith, peace. God works on these attributes, grows them within us throughout our lives. The conundrum is that He has you on His list...

Yes, lots of folks around here sound like that. I do sometimes. It's pride, the ego of the old self that is not yet really dead. Our old self in one sense traveled back in time and was put on the cross with Christ and died. Spiritually we are sanctified. But our flesh still peeps it's ugly head...

Interesting, in your last thread, your argument was that the events of Revelation happened. You frequently used the phrase " will shortly take place", in the first verse. Now you are reducing these events to mere fabrications, illusions, symbolic of history. You abandon reality and escape into...

You sound like a Left Wing Liberal, whose typical comeback (right out of their play book) _when cornered _ is to attack the other person's character, intellenge, faith and condescend as if talking to a child. "Now Ronny, you should really read the Bible ..." Lol. We're done.

Reconciliation to God through Christ is the only way to heaven. But never doubt that God is working in their lives and then finally lifts the veil of blindness just before death. That happenned with both my parents. Of course there are the wicked atheists in whom you can't recognize any fruit...
