    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Perhaps neither or both. Souls aren't built to remain alive forever while burning and fire only burns until it runs out of fuel. Sodom and Gomorrah's flames have gone out. I understand it's a very emotional subject. I once had a Baptist pastor give me the most hateful look I've ever seen when he...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    I'm afraid poor Brother Jason has a frightful case of the King James-onlies. He cannot be reasoned with concerning it.

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Do you believe the serpent--the father of lies-- was telling the truth? Genesis 3:4 KJV: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Genesis 3:5 KJV: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    God did it. Genesis 2:7 KJV: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:17 KJV: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    But, Johann, my Brother, whom I love, the destruction of the wicked is not "poof and you're gone." Some are destroyed as in a moment, while others suffer for many days. All are punished “according to their deeds.” Satan is made to suffer not only for his own rebellion but for all the sins which...

    Yeah, I looked it up. :D Love to You Always Brother (People are gonna start talking) (Good, right?--maybe they'll start loving each other - lol)

    Some questions...

    Righteousness is right-doing. All righteousness belongs to God. He is the source of every right impulse. Theologians are like politics: They ruin everything. Both--By grace through faith. By the power of grace; through the conduit of faith ¿ Because of sin The concept of time is...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    There is a common theme throughout the Bible that true sonship is actually about likeness in character, much more so than about genetics. I really believe the many controversies over the nature of God are one of many tricks of the devil calculated to get us to focus on things we can't...

    It's okay, BL. I was just involved in a special season of prayer.

    Sounds to me like you're rooted and grounded in the love of Christ. No worries, then. Love you, J. Ol' Barn

    Assurance of salvation.

    The feud between insistent (both) Calvinists and Arminians has raged for centuries and if the LORD doesn't come soon (which I highly doubt) it will still have a good run ahead of it. The great preachers of the Great Awakening seemed to manage to keep this pot on a low boil for the furtherance of...

    Assurance of salvation.

    Me, neither. I think I might have formulated the term, myself. It's just that I was so keenly aware of it growing up, as I did, in a Southern Baptist home. The first time unconditional eternal security was explained to me, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Now I think it's just one more...

    @amadeus Have you heard this, John? It's about Hank. The wife and I actually went to see Alan Jackson in Hershey about 20 years ago. We love to listen to him and Tracy Lawrence.
