I was replying to Mark's quote from you containing Rev. 5:8. :)

I'm not sure how a bowl can also be prayers in a literal sense. :)

Thing is, answering this question would require speculation as to the mind of God, and that's a no-no for a lot of folks. I see where you're coming from, but I can say, quite objectively, that from many (22 million that I know of) annihilationists' point of view, this type of behavior is so...

Psalms 16:10, Acts 2:27-31?

As an aside (possibly), if you'd asked me that 30 years ago I would have said they began to die, not really knowing what that means. For a time I flirted with an idea that since Peter said that to the LORD a day is as a thousand years, I thought that since we have no record of anyone living to...

Pragmatically (rather than ideally) speaking, though, don't you think that the word has more than one meaning and that as finite beings we tend to blur, or even cross the lines of distinction between them?

I think it's the word "fact" that threw me. It kind of sounds like he's saying the same thing as "the person who denies there's a number six obviously doesn't believe there's a number six." It seemed to me that he was just stating the painfully obvious. But I guess the placement of the word...

I think it goes without saying. :D

What's a "naysayer?" Somebody who doesn't agree with you? :p

You know, I think when I said "dig into" I meant mostly with other people. I read his letters and Acts all the time. I just get uncomfortable discussing a lot of it because so much of it is so hotly and contentiously debated. Maybe I'm just neurotic.

I think. (I think a lot.)

I'm skeered.

Gotcha, J.

Actually, I think tradition says that Nicodemus was a Pharisee and Jesus called him a teacher in John 3, didn't he? I think a lot. -lol (I'm just tryin' to get ya to look up more stuff.)

I thought it seemed like you were kinda thick with him. You know, like in "thick as thieves." I have hardly encountered him at all. I should check him out. If I'm being honest, the few times that I did read his stuff, I didn't get it. But I can be kinda dense.

Yeah, I am laying on the frivolity kinda heavy. Sorry if it disturbed your peace, Brother. :(

I'm just shilling for -likes-. :D:D:D

My bad. Luke 14:3 So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?" I thought I remembered Jesus saying "Scribes and Lawyers." But, anyway, there you go. :)

Very good stuff, J. Glory to God!

I can attest to this. :p:p:p
