    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Physical age has little do with it. But... when you say someone else is definitely wrong, you had best know that you are definitely right before you open your mouth to say so. What I believe is that believers, who have not yet overcome completely like Jesus did, have a mixture of belief and...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Yes, we are all fallible, including me. I have made lots of mistakes, and it would not surprise me if I were to make more mistakes in my remaining time as a man of flesh. This is why I keep seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness. This is why I keep returning to the lowest room and...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Eisegesis or hermeneutics or human logic is not going find anything good even in a man's Bible studies unless God is in the search and in the finding. I won't even try to use such things alone to argue a point unless God, the only good One, leads me that way. Very simply again: "But the...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    I will not argue the point with you. You are where you are. You have presented nothing that I have not already heard or read before. I read the Bible and talk to and listen to God. I don't increase or decrease or change the beliefs or knowledge of others unless God is using me to do it...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Skipped? I have been reading the whole of the Bible through repeatedly since I read it for the first time in 1976 in English. Beginning in 1978 with my first German and Spanish Bibles in hand, I began reading it through in those languages as well. My reading continues through the current day, 7...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    If you are looking for some man's name, I do not have one. I have believed it was right for many years as per the Bible and as per God. I put together the following verses in 2009: "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?

    People are dead in the eyes of God and what else matters? He provided the opportunity for Life through Jesus, but most people it seems are not interested in the real Life. They are quite content to immerse themselves in the death which they call life, which will end soon enough, and someone will...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Why do I think or believe as I do? I read nothing in the Bible that says to me that for the ones who missed the Way or went astray that there waits for them a torment which never ends. The dead are simply dead... and the dead know nothing.

    The LORD Quickens The Believers = Psalm 71;20, John 5;21, Romans 8;11

    And then there is this: "And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." Matt 8:21-22 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Consider, however, if the place into which we were born to our natural mothers was hell. Would we not have been spirits in prison who heard the Word of God preached to us? Then receiving what we heard, it was quickened with us. We were resurrected. We were born again. A whole new beginning! An...

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Consider that the smoke rises forever and ever long after the torment and the tormented have ceased to exist. If a star located 50 lightyears away from us was destroyed 10 years ago, would we not continue to see its light for 40 years after it is gone. Is that possible?

    And based on the same verses, I would think so!

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    The straight and narrow way is the Way of God, whereas the wide way leading to destruction is the way of mammon. If a person really loves the truth [God's Truth, rather than the truths of men] he will get on the right road and stay on it. People too often really love themselves more than...

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    We show that we are on God's side by being there. Many people will not see it for lack of "eyes to see". Some of them may even belong to and/or attend church meetings but remain blind, at least in part, to things of God. Church meetings are a good thing when two or more are gathered "in His...

    Are not those who die the second death finally and completely dead?

    Let's discuss..cessation after death?

    Indeed! Anyone who has not obtained Life, as in the Life which Jesus brought is dead. Adam and Eve died and as a result, all of their offspring were born dead. Can the dead give birth to living children?
