    The Smoke of their Torment Ascends Forever

    If one does not understand the intention of the words 'death or die' how will one understand anything without distortion?

    The Smoke of their Torment Ascends Forever

    Soul is none other than a living being. We are all souls.....we do not have them. Souls cease to exist when they die just as God said they would. Genesis 2:16-17

    The Smoke of their Torment Ascends Forever

    The same principle applies. Thou shalt surely die God said if one deviates from the path of life ie, cessation of life will surely catch up. Consequence of pushing God away results in the destruction of self....sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. We see it happen immediately after the...

    The Smoke of their Torment Ascends Forever

    When the firemen couldn't put the fire out they said, it burned forever. They did not mean that if we visited the location of the fire we would still see it burning. What they meant was, it burned till all the fuel was consumed.....nothing could be rescued. In the same way the Hebrews used this...

    is doing sexual things with a boyfriend/girlfriend sin...

    Have you considered that human beings irrespective of culture and profession have done pretty much what they do today when it comes to sexual practices?

    The Smoke of their Torment Ascends Forever

    Understanding Hebrew idiom is as important as understanding English idiom. Without that understanding, literal interpretation will make pigs fly and one qualifies oneself with the same credibility as one who touts as factual the dreamtime stories of indigenous cultures.

    Carnal Hypocrisy of Sabbath Commanders

    'removed from the books'....hmmmm. Is the knowledge of sin a reality of something 'removed from the books'?

    Carnal Hypocrisy of Sabbath Commanders

    I see you thrash around in the rules you choose but dismiss the conscience of others who are persuaded differently.

    Carnal Hypocrisy of Sabbath Commanders

    Released from one and not the other of the same batch?.....hmmmmm ......I recall the text 'if you offend in one you offend in all'....referring to the Commandments........hmmmm. We all offend in many things however if we in a planned way deliberately offend, if we justify our offence, I would...

    Can I bless someone?

    Can I bless someone? When we speak good words to and of others we bless them. When we speak bad words to and of others we curse them.

    Martial Arts for self defense

    :) Jesus had at his disposal 10,000 angels when he was threatened....hmmm.....he didn't use them.....he trusted his Father would take care of him......he trusted that his mission would not be a failure......he trusted that in spite of the rage around him he would walk through victorious even...

    Martial Arts for self defense

    following the trends is definitely cool.....according to the world......where God's children find themselves swimming against the stream .....or should I say the overwhelming consensus.

    Concede Now, or Concede Later.

    It means the prophets interpreted God with dimmed vision. Jesus, as Hebrews 1:3 tells us is 'The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being,.....'

    Concede Now, or Concede Later.

    A clear view requires more than the pronouncement ‘the bible says’ or ‘scripture says’ The ‘great light’ is Jesus. He qualifies God’s intentions. This basically means Jesus is not one who orders genocide as attributed to God in the OT, thus putting into question how clearly or lack of clarity...

    The Offense of the Cross

    The Offense of the Cross It is an offence because it sets in motion a principle which men resist. We find it near irresistible to give up the right for revenge; in fact men define justice by some sort of payback for infractions. God's definition of justice is liberation from...

    How is Jesus Firstborn from the dead?

    How is Jesus Firstborn from the dead? If we say Jesus died for our sins the conclusion would be he died the second death mentioned in Revelation which as I see it is the real deal final death. The first death is that experienced by all who die in this age......the death that scripture calls...
