What I conclude from that verse is, those who were raised when Jesus was, went around as witnesses to Jesus resurrection....ie, to the fulfilment of the OT prophecies just as Jesus witnessed to the two on the road to Emmaus In other words the whole purpose of God's intentions and revelation to...

I dunno if the statement 'it’s appointed for a man to die once' can be made to walk on all fours so to speak. Scripture speaks of a second death so once again, context needs considering. Personally I think Lazarus died again because his resurrection from the dead experience didn't include...

Luke 24:27 'And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.' Here we have a window into who the two witnesses are. Edit......ie, the writings of the OT

Yes, a case like that could be made but I seriously doubt it has any credibility. As I have said previously, an incorrect assumption made by context taken out of its setting definitely sets one for a fantasy tour.

hmmmm, dreams of this nature by average punters like you and me are definitely things I shelve. Others, as I have read here are quick to put some spin on it. I keep that spin at arms length.

I'm referring to John's vision in Revelation of seeing souls under the altar. The account of Moses and Elijah appearing to Jesus on the mountain has totally different context......but to clarify the event of the transfiguration as I read it, it was literal.

Determining metaphor from literal is mandatory if one wants to understand intent, ie, the message/meaning in the image recorded by John. Get it wrong and one goes down a rabbit hole of fantasy.....and ultimately error.

I think the term 'biblical truth' is far too broad. Why do I say this? because much of what is in the biblical writings have big limitations. Consider Jesus saying 'you have heard said an eye for an eye but I say unto you, do not resist and evil man' Folks heard what Jesus referenced from the...

I think Jesus' reply to the woman at the well ie, worshiping in spirit and truth cuts through the formalities either wittingly or unwittingly constructed by men.

What is the Price Jesus Paid? Divesting himself for eternity for the sake of love. His identification with human limitations as far as we know has no precedent in other of his creation.

As mentioned in another thread, faulty assumptions have the power to drive the most truth divergent conclusions. I guess the convolution that this spawns has Paul saying 'work out your own salvation with fear and trembling'

Where does our spirit man reside? This question is premised on a faulty assumption. This same principle ie, faulty assumptions, drives truth divergent understandings.....but who can hear it?

Johann, I see your reply above as a side step; a convenient way of not considering my earlier statement could apply to you......and I wonder why the accusing decoy?

Jesus said of the Rabbis, 'forever learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth' I wonder if the same trip applies to Christian circles?

How is Love, greater than Faith, and Hope? Love is not qualified by Mr 'nice' guy delivery. The devils have faith in in matters we know nothing about ....faith and matters that would blow our socks off. Faith in the biblical context means trusting in God's promises. It does not mean the...

If I might be so bold as to say so, for all the words you guys make, you just don't get it! You quote out of context and cobble theories from imagination. ......and what are you going to tell people anyway? ...a truck load of advice as to what they should do to be saved? hmmmmm, maybe you'll...

I have learned that Salvation is God's business. He has and will save me because I will not resist his drawing and that drawing gives me the desire to do the things that please him. I guess I call that sanctification. So, what are the things that please him? John 6:28-29 reads like this...

Jesus is confirming his introduction.

this is the great hope for all who trust in Jesus
