. According to post #1, an estimated 55,096 newbies arrive in hell every 24 hours on the clock from all over the world; which rounds out to something like 20,110,040 souls per year; which if projected to the end of the 21st century from today, 12/08/13, would eventually total 1.75 billion...

. Objection: There is a lake of fire depicted at Rev 20:11-15. Sorry; but it's impossible to liquefy flame. Rebuttal: According to Rev 20:10, the lake consists of not only fire; but also a non-metallic substance called brimstone; which Webster's defines as sulfur. Sulfur melts at 232.36º F and...

. Far from being immortal, the natural-born human soul is quite susceptible to termination. †. Matt 10:28 . . Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. The koiné Greek word for "destroy" in...

. The torture that Jesus suffered on the cross was child's play in comparison to the horrors and the miseries of souls in Hell. For one thing, his sufferings barely lasted six hours (cf. Mark 15:25, Matt 27:46-50) not even one whole day. People in hell go day, after day, after day, after day...

. At Gen 2:16-17 we have God's statement. At Gen 3:2-3 we have Eve's statement. Of the two statements; which is the more reliable: God's statement or Eve's statement? In the book of Ecclesiastes, the wisdom of Solomon says that people don't exist after death. While in the New Testament, the...

While true that MM is the only one that John 20:1 reports going to the tomb; it doesn't say that she was the only one that went. When all else fails: read the fine print. Women seem to have a natural propensity for that rather annoying habit. For example: one of Dr. Laura's pet peeves is women...

Friend, it's poor net manners to derail a topic by changing it's subject. If it is your wish to discuss baptism; please create a topic of your own for it rather than hijacking this one. Thank you. Buen Camino /

. I tried life for a while as a loner kind of guy and it led me to depression, feelings of disconnection from the human race, feeling that I was expendable, feelings of uselessness, feelings of despair, negativity, and dark thoughts of suicide. So: I suggest that you do what I did: find a big...

. †. Num 16:25-34 . . Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. He warned the assembly: Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins. So they moved away from the...

. Honestly? Well, to tell the truth: I have very little sympathy for people who prefer to commiserate with like sufferers rather than seek a remedy for their condition. That said; I think it's essential to point out that two of the elements of the fruit of the Spirit are peace and love. (Gal...

. †. Mark 15:34 . .And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is translated: My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? Jesus was abandoned only on the cross-- nowhere else and at no other time --and it lasted, at the most, for just 6 hours. And...

I just wish my wife's Ford Taurus were given a free tank of gas for every time I've heard people judge others by that verse. She'd have enough to drive her car to work till retirement. For example: would anyone doubt that Mother Teresa was a Christian? But did you read her testimony in post #8...

. The koiné Greek word for "law" in Rom 7:14-25 is nomos (nom'-os) which doesn't always refer to a body of rules and/or regulations and stipulations. It can also refer to principles and core values-- both good principles and core values and bad principles and core values. I think that what Paul...

Your problem is very easy to diagnose. It's simply a break down in communication. †. Rom 8:16 . .The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God The koiné Greek word for "bears witness" is summartureo (soom-mar-too reh'-o) which, according to the Strong's lexicon...

. If I read Rom 7:14-25 correctly: man's will is free enough; but not him. In other words: man is a slave to his will. †. Luke 4:18 . .The Spirit of The Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim liberty to the captives Buen Camino /

. Sodom and Gomorrah were small potatoes. Just imagine the number of innocent babies and children who died in the Flood-- all due to collateral damage. And whose fault was that? God's? No; the parents; and they will have to answer for putting their children in harm's way. A similar catastrophe...

. †. John 10:28 . . I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will grab them out of my hand. Webster's defines "never" as: not ever, at no time, not in any degree, not under any condition When people question the reliability of Jesus' statement, they are not only...

In other words: neither you nor Jesus believe in the inspiration of scripture? You and he just do whatever you want in spite of what the Bible might be saying? Well; I'm not like that; and I regard the scriptures below as the mind of God. †. Gal 1:8 . . But even if we, or an angel from heaven...

I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for anti-BACs like evangelist-7 if I were you. According to Gal 1:6-9, people like him are outcasts; and according to 2Pet 2:1 and 2Pet 3:16, slated to be destroyed. Though evangelist-7 finds amusement in what he's doing; his conduct is just as suicidal as...
