    Does God love burning people in hell?

    If you aren't going to actually respond to what I'm saying, but rather change the subject as above, or relinquish discussions by saying, you can believe what you want... I'm not going to change... Demand I use scripture to defend my case but not applying the same requirement to yourself, then I...

    Does God love burning people in hell?

    Where did Lazarus come from when Jesus called to him, "come forth"! Where did Jesus come from when the tomb was opened and the stone rolled away? Where was the Jairus' daughter when raised from the dead? Where will you be when you are raised from the dead at the second coming? What does the...

    Does God love burning people in hell?

    "Verily verily I say to you today, you shall be with Me in paradise". Jesus did not go to paradise that day. He didn't rise from the dead until 2 days later. He spoke to Mary and warned her not to touch Him because He was not yet ascended to His Father. And His Father lives in paradise. Check...

    Does God love burning people in hell?

    You need to read those passages again, there is absolutely nothing about Jesus going to hell to speak to anyone. Unless you want it to and use it to bolster your preconceived ideas. What Peter is talking about is the holy Spirit speaking to the contemporaries of Noah, through Noah a preacher of...

    Does God love burning people in hell?

    Earlier in Luke 16 there were other parables... 1 ¶ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods... And in the previous chapter there is... 11 ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons: I...

    Does God love burning people in hell?

    KJV 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    You think? You think it better to believe God plans to immortalize sinners by giving them eternal life? You think it better maybe to believe that humans are naturally and innately immortal, that Satan was correct in his theological comment on the state of the dead, telling Eve she would never...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    You didn't answer my question. Where in scripture is there any hint or suggestion that eternal life is granted sinners? There is only one immortal Spirit, and that is God. The gift of eternal life is given repentant believers who are sanctified and converted by truth, the word of God. There are...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    Yep, occult musings using scripture to support them are but a counterfeit to truth. Job was exactly nowhere at the time of creation. The question was to humble him and make him realize how little he knew. You could do with the same.

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    You are right. I don't agree with you. Your esoteric occult musings contradict the plain reading of God's word, and contribute nothing to the character development necessary for our fitness for heaven, nor to the understanding of the human condition as sinners.

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    Stars are symbolic of angels or men. Depends on context

    What is the one true Church?

    What agreement can there be between light and darkness, between the holy and the profane? This isn't a debate between Protestants and Catholics. Too late for that, as you've already noticed, the so called Protestants have already apostatized and surrendered. The controversy today continues as it...

    What is the one true Church?

    What is more despicable is your blind obstinate refusal to recognize Christianity in parts of the early world distinct from catholicism. The Celtic church was not Catholic. Nor was the Syrian church, Persian, India, or Chinese churches. They were distinct in practise and in doctrine. Thomas was...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    You are believing the lie of Satan, "ye shall not surely die", which I think is what quantum has been getting at.

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    So you believe God immortalizes sin and those who partake in it? Where in scripture does it ever suggest that God grants sinners the gift of eternal life?

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    The righteous believers in Christ are resurrected at the second coming. The wicked who are now dead, and those who did at the second coming, take part in the second resurrection, the resurrection of damnation. After the pronouncement is guilty at their judgement, they are all cast into the lake...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    None of the above. 1. Creation took 7 literal days. 2. As I said previously, death is simply that. Complete cessation of life. We are not immortal, not our spirit or soul lives on as a separate living entity after death. 3. Adam and Eve would have died that day as God warned, but grace...

    Nothing much left to say

    So once one accepts Christ's sacrifice on his behalf, then we need to decide what we do with the precious gift weaa have received. And there I tend to agree with you, that Christians, while generally accepting that their lives ought to reflect the virtues and example of the one in whom they...

    Nothing much left to say

    The gospel is simple. And if you understood it as well as you claim, you would have accepted it long ago. The gospel isn't some subjective truth open to the whims and fancies of interpretation. The gospel is found throughout the scriptures, beginning in the 3rd chapter of Genesis. It isn't about...

    Nonsense.
