Consider this: "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21 What is the world of which hell is in the center? Why is it not the world encompassed by this bit of flesh formed from the dust of the same globe we name planet Earth...

This is a common view, but not everyone agrees with it. When our time comes, perhaps we will know the truth of the matter!

Yes, for me much of the time I see the "earth" mentioned in the Bible as the little bit of dirt of which our bodies are formed. [Instead of "on" earth, read "in" earth.] Even when Jesus came to visit hell, he was also in heaven... perhaps not 3rd heaven except maybe during the transfiguration...

Another snow storm is expected later today and a third one [last one?] on Wednesday. It has been miserably cold outside with wind chills well below zero. I did not check it but they said actual temperature dropped to about -15F with a wind chill factor between -25 & -30F. It made it up into the...

Yes I remember Washington state favorably. In addition to the time I spent at Ft Lewis on active military duty, when I was a little boy, my older brother and I went one summer to Yakima where my paternal grandmother's brother [Doctor (his name, not an MD) B Walker born in about 1884]lived with...

In Spanish, they have "tu" [familiar] equal to "you" singular as well as "usted" [polite] equal to "you" singular. In Spanish, they have "vosotros" [familiar] equal to "you" plural as well as "ustedes [polite] equal to "you" plural. German has an even more definitive set of pronouns in use...

Look at all of these worms in the Book of Isaiah: Lucifer? "Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee." Isaiah 14:11 Jacob? Consider here again the beast that man is and also as per Isaiah, a worm... "Fear not...

Worms are like people. They continuously are producing offspring. In this sense the human race does not die. As we never run out of people, we also never run out of worms.

@Mayflower By the time God drew me to Him I already had my degree with a major in Spanish and a minor in German [1971] as well as being married with two toddlers in tow. At the age of 32 I began reading the Bible for the first time in my life. I had never even owned one before. I really got...

I agree that hell is real, but perhaps what the word 'real' means to me differs. God is real and the vision we have of God's plan is a vision of Reality. What men without God call reality appears to me to be a temporal or even fictitious thing or place for the dead. Everyone without God is dead...

Once in a while I have read one of his posts which seemed very good, but as you say, he is often very insistent with that he is correct. Everyone here believes they are right, but not everyone has a "My way or the highway" opinion.

Thank you for responding to me here. I do appreciate it. I again apologize if I jump on you too quickly in my earlier post to you. I don't quote other books [and while I own a couple I have not read them through] about the end times when it comes down to it. I read and study my Bibles but...

The kitchen can be such a lovely place... or an evil one depending on your point of view! When my wife baked us some home made bread last week it was so very lovely. Give God the glory!

In Stillwater Oklahoma it is 5F [-15C] with the wind chill at -15F [-26C]. We have had several inches of snow since last night. Tomorrow's snow will bring up to between 12 and 15 inches with no hope of it melting soon. Tomorrow's high will 5F [-15C]with a low of -11F [-23C]. The low temperatures...

It is good that you like your work and are able to get into it. Working with kids was always fun for me when I had the chance. I remember when I was living and working in Merced, CA several decades ago. The Sunday school teacher for the 3-4 year olds didn't show up. The pastor tapped me to...

Perhaps you would explain what you understand then that made you say what you did about all of us gentiles. That sounded like a general condemnation to me. Was I wrong? I certainly have been wrong a whole lot of times in the past.

Yes indeed! I remember when my own 2 [boy and girl] were young. I never grew up in a sense so I used to love spending time on the floor playing with or taking them to the park. I did that with my grandchildren as well, but for the next generation I no longer have the oomph... I tried getting on...

My friend you are one of those I really like here on this forum. It goes to show that doctrines don't tell the whole story. What happens down the road, that is after my physical demise, is directly in accord with what I do, or do not do, here with what God has provided to me. As Jesus put it...

Give God the glory dear sister. My hearing loss did not come from age, but from firing a machine gun in the army without ear plugs when I was still in my early 20's. No one warned me about the noise danger. I wear government issue hearing aids, which help some but not enough to understand a new...

@April_Rose Just stopping by to say hello and happy Valentine's Day. To be honest there was not a single song posted that was at all familiar to me. Only a couple of the names of the singers even rang a bell with me. My age is telling on me. I stopped listening to new secular music for the most...
