Why did you call him a heretic. That is shameful. Don't you know that only those who eat from the Tree of Life will live or be in torment forever? Satan and his angels all have had access to the Tree of Life, but unbelieving humans don't. The lake of fire for humans is called "the second death."...

Of course it is. But hell was NOT created for people, but for Satan and His angels who all had had access to the Tree of Life. What unsaved person that you think should suffer forever had access to the Tree of Life?

What is also interesting is the Paul is the one who told Luke the history. Paul's personality is one of sort of competing with the other apostles and Luke would have worded it in the light of an error if it should have been Paul as the 12th. Just an observation...

Okay, it is like for us our death is the end - "and then comes the judgment." But what I was referring to is the title of this OP Also, no purgatory ;)

All apostles are from Jesus, so that isn't anything to be pompous about. That includes Mathias, Paul, Barnabas and Apollos, plus who knows how many more. Maybe even today seeing as the Church is far from unity of the faith. Ephesians 4: And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets...

I've always thought that "casting lots" was a pagan thing seeing as the Roman soldiers cast lots for the robe of Jesus, but just now I looked up "cast lots" and a lot of scriptures came up in the Old Testament about casting lots before the Lord! So I guess Mathias is one of the official 12...

What? Don't you know we will all have access to the Tree of Life in heaven? God took the Garden to heaven. Abraham and all the OT saints rose when Jesus did, and Jesus took them all the heaven with him when He ascended.

Same with Barnabas. He is also mentioned as an apostle. I imagine also Apollos.

Yes, I doubt that Peter heard the voice of God telling him to choose another apostle by gambling. It is interesting that only the facts were given in the account and nothing about the will of God.

David, before their resurrection to be cast into the lake of fire, the unbelievers when they die are in "outer darkness." Whereas, the believers spirit goes back to the Father until the time of their resurrection. But when they are cast into the lake of fire and destroyed, only the smoke of...

The apostles knew the answer would be no, that is why they endeavored to get a new 12th member. Acts 1: 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it’; and, ‘Let another take his office.’

Exodus 33: 21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but...

Scott, what you are not understanding is that is has to do with the phrase, not just the word. The phrase that includes all the words in order - the/day/of/the/Lord - has to do with the judgment of the Lord. Scott, that is end times when we are either His Bride, or food for the lake of fire...

You can't take Jesus saying to His mother before his ministry even started that my HOUR is the DAY OF THE LORD. Success is NOT blatant error!

No, I just let scripture explain scripture like any other successful student of the Bible would do.

Even if Jesus said, My day has not yet come, it still did not have anything to do with the phrase, "the day of the Lord."

But Scott, when the devil has been cast into the lake of fire, does it still continue? You seem to disagree with the post you responded to. Jesus didn't die on the cross just to wage war with the devil. Do you even know why He came and what He accomplished? We are talking about the phrase "the...

There is destruction connected with the day of the Lord in the Old Testament, so it is end times and the destruction of the earth. If you want to twist the meaning, that is up to you. No one is saying that Jesus didn't come in the flesh, but His coming had to do with preparing people for...

I saw that in my search, and it is also end time. Any more?

Are your sure Randy? I've looked at the exact "day of the Lord" and it seems always to refer to the end times.
