    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Yeah people would be thrown in there and burned alive. It was in emphasis of the coming great dreadful day of the Lord that would be the same way as far as destruction leaving Jerusalem desolate. So Gehenna was used as (hell), but hell was never on fire. It was always a dark place separated...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    @Brakelite how can God kill or completely get rid something he gave to you and plans to raise again? That unique individual called “you”, your soul. You are not able discredit what John writes either, about those outside of the heavenly kingdom. Im not sure what quantum on about but he was...

    Adam and Eve Were Replacements for a Previous Couple Who Died

    That’s not what John indicates in revelation 21-22, @Brakelite. He talks about people being outside of the kingdom. I don’t understand why people tend to believe that unbelievers are just going to be duped and done away with. Makes me wonder if God did truly love the world or not.

    Sin Nature

    Sanctification is a real thing, as a person lets God guide in their life more than the flesh going by the spirit to love God and love others? While dying to their old ways and life burying it in the ground and being raised to new spiritual life in Christ whom was raised by God. But it doesn’t...

    Sin Nature

    Because Jesus suffered the same temptations we did, before he even died on the cross, @1stCenturyLady and we suffer in the same way, between the earth and heavenly. Sin has been taken care of, it’s a choice if a person becomes dead to sin and live for the heavenly while mortifying the earthly...

    Sin Nature

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Yes, you have read what Paul says about it, @Episkopos. All of us with the flesh have fooked up and are in need of Him whom makes people right with God; and God is pleased with a person who has faith. But look and read what Paul says about the flesh and the spirit. No need for anyone to say...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    I don’t care about who says what. The truth be known to those who seek out God in spirit and truth. There is no reason to side with anyone here other than to love one another if it is possible living in peace with every person. Of course if no one does know that they haven’t been reading...

    Sin Nature

    14but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Who is the person who had a evil desire? It was us by our soul; which interactively...

    Sin Nature

    Idk when the last time anyone has read this 9Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Okay, thank you Enoch. Either way it took a while before they had gathered everything. I don’t know for a fact anyway but I assume that time due to the “early church fathers”.

    Sin Nature

    How do you know I don’t know where sin comes from? Our nature to by our soul through our flesh enjoy the proclivities such as the following. “For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but...

    "My doctrinal opinion is true; you're doctrinal opinion is false." - Got it?

    Jim it was about 250 years after Christ, that they had a Bible fit together then, 1500 before an actual agreed upon bible was released. So that information is accurate.
