You have a great point to as we wait for resurrection. However, do you think we can have a little small taste of heaven, by the Kingdom of heaven being within the heart of the believer? Because of the Lord the anointed one by his spirit living within us? Praying to the Father to help us along by...

Amen, I agree with you @ewq1938 that no one should believe anyone that claims to be the christ. Christ has set up his kingdom, and because of this you and all those who believe have access to God already, by the kingdom of God being in your heart. Anyone that says, come meet the messiah might...

There are people who may claim that they are Christ today, however it was nothing like back in the Apostle's day... That was what Jesus was warning his four apostles listening - if you see people saying here is the christ, don't believe them. (Because in that day they went out and taught after...

Yes, you are right @ewq1938. It's because it is a tradition that is taught, but I don't knock those who continue to wait, I hope that I am wrong and they will see his return. However, it's a personal subject that my belief is just simply different, than what most common beliefs are, and that is...

From my perspective is so highly interesting when you actually go through the bible for yourself, and consider what you are reading. There is New King James (Holman Study Bible, Thompson Chain Reference), Super Large Print King James Version, King James (Thompson Chain Reference), Youngs Literal...

Good post, Peterlag.

That is amazing isn't it brother, praise be to the LORD, and praise be to the Son of God! Love you and thank you again for your comment. Hope you have a good morning, sir. Bye-bye.

Yes, Brightfame52. Would agree, when they come to faith. Having faith in his death, then burial of the old ways, and then rising again to newness of life, it seems to be the model just like the temple, the outer court, the inner court, the holy of holies. The way, the truth, the life. Amazing...

Devin, What you say here reminds me of a section of a letter wrote by Paul, when he wrote to the Romans, in which to me is a spiritual guideline for believers even today to consider. When it comes to dealing with people who are prideful. “Love must be free of hypocrisy. Detest what is evil...

You are welcome, you are correct when it comes down to pride. Most dont see pride as a bad thing. While its okay to be prideful in a sense of (perhaps you were able to some type of work, or perhaps got a task done and complete; postivily), there is a negative version of pride. Pride which sees...

Exceptionally interesting. (photo from 2020 New American Standard Edition Bible.)

Exceptional wisdom, Devin. :vgood:

Hey @dev553344, I am still a sinner too, but saved by the grace of God, becoming a Child of his through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Son of God, my friend. Some believe calling yourself a sinner is a disgrace... well if that is the case, I rather be a disgrace to them.

@ewq1938, There is also Hebrews, Hebrews 9:28 So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Here is a scripture that confirms my earlier statement of those who were faithful...

Also its okay if people dont know everything in the bible either… some times just continued encouragement and to continue to stay in faith and pray with them is a great thing, some people fall away from faith though cause of the isseus life can being upon them. They more focus on the world than...

Just love the Father and love others before you die. Anything that is a doctrine that causes you to start hating others… That is a road down the dark path.

Just be open about it with people, and ask them if they ever heard of the second death before @Jay Ross. That is all you gotta do is bring up the subject. My mother never knew about the lake of fire until the other day.

Cool. So do I. It is a special gift from God to all those who are able to have access to it. Spiritual road map if you would like to say that.

You aren't lying about that, at all, that was something my friend also had pointed out. Considering the bible was written to an ancient people.
