    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    God would want it to be this way (I believe) stunnedbygrace so may his will be done over the constructions of what man can make. Augustine was the first one to really start implanting this in the mind of many people in his day of literal fires of flame burning people. For based upon his...

    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    Also here is scripture that pertains to Jesus having the keys to death and hades. The question is do you believe this includes the second death? KJ21 I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.

    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    Jesus said in 5:29 “and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5:29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So no one can say that believers and unbelievers are not going to be resurrected. You can believe however you...

    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    It’s interesting the confusion of the topic of death for some people. It would be good thing to study, hell/Sheol was a covering place for the dead. It has two compartments, a Paradise part and a Prison part. Interestingly enough, those contents where dumped out, all the souls/spirits. Then...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Lambano, that doesn’t really speak to me about what you believe in your heart. Sure the scriptures are great to reference and learn from when properly divided. Would like to share what is you believe personally? You know it doesn’t matter what you may present but would you be willingly to share...

    Jesus left us with the assignment to make disciples,

    If you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ who came down from heaven, was buried, and was risen again by Yahweh. Who am I to judge, continue to have faith in him, and love Yahweh our Father with all your mind, heart, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself, Robert. I just don’t believe...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Okay thank you for sharing, Enonch111. Can I ask you to share with me what that means when you die? Will you have a new body like we have now or will it be a spiritual body? Just curious, thank you.

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Alright thank you for sharing Lambano. Do have some questions but perhaps now is not the time. Everyone has different subjective views and my best interest shouldn’t try to impose anything on anyone as it’s not fair to the individual.

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Jesus tells a Parable that talks about Paradise and the prison part of Sheol/Hades/Hell - the covering place for the dead before the resurrection. Luke 16 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    I’m sorry brother I believe spirits that were in prison where in the prison part of Sheol or Hell (the covered place of the dead separated from God) Jesus went and preached to them when he died before resurrection. It is nice of you to try and help me out, however I’m very firm on my beliefs...

    1st Samuel chapters 1-3

    Hi I don’t really have much to say than this is very good for you to do! And May it encourage others to do the same, the Bible is good for the soul, and it can cut us down to pieces but if we allow it to be God can create us and put us back together into that new creation in Christ! Yes prayer...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Thank you for sharing your subjective beliefs Face2Face. Jesus teaching on the two resurrections is enough for me personally to believe that souls continue on in the afterlife. If there was no resurrection I would believe those who say there is no immortal soul. John 5:29 “and come...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    It’s right there stated in the Revelation 22:14-15. It’s completely conjecture (on my end), however a statement made by the Apostle John, that showcases what is left after everything from Revelation 1-21 is all wrapped up and done with, in my best estimation. However I would not like to debate...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    If anyone else would like to comment on the subject at hand please feel free to do so. There is no reason not to believe that our soul leaves our body and goes on to the heavenly realm, some to life and some to condemnation, as Jesus stated. There is a third resurrection better than the normal...

    I’ll just have dig in the sand brother. Love to you and your family.

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Thank you for sharing what you subjectively believe. For me though I believe all of us when this life ends go to the heavenly realm, be it those who have faith or do not. Those of faith entering into the heavenly Jerusalem, and those of faithlessness outside of the kingdom. Consider what Jesus...

    Scripture Study of The Immortal Soul (Spirit of Man/Woman)

    Why do people not believe in the immortal soul? The soul (spirit of Man/Woman) is composed of (mind/will/emotion) of an individual that is housed inside of a body - that is formed in the womb of the woman, that is created by God (of course some factors of what a person does to their body while...

    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    To everyone who has come by, seen, read. The last thing for me to ever desire for a person in their life is to have lost faith, because of something that has been stated by me personally. The reason is to lose faith and to turn away from faith is a bad thing, because then you are rejecting the...

    That’s fine, that didn’t answer the question though. Thank you though for taking time to respond.

    In-depth Bible Study on Eternal Punishment

    Do you believe Jesus has conquered over spiritual death, and that of dying physically having been resurrected by God, @heartwashed? What are your thought on that?
