I've already said that to my knowledge the lower parts of the earth was Paradise, or Hades, or Abraham's Bossom where the saved from the O.T. times were awaiting the resurrection. I was taught this and do agree with it, but who can know for sure? I do believe that Jesus never entered into hell.

I looked at the link. Wow! I hope the faith only persons don't notice it....it might get them to rethink their position! (oh no!) I bookmarked the link...

I just wanted to add that Jesus didn't quote the commandments referring to God to the rich young man because it was apparent by his question that he honored God but wanted to do more. So Jesus told him to also honor and do for his fellow man. IMO. Yes. Jesus' two great commandments cover all...

Many will also say that Jesus came to FULFILL the law so that we have nothing more to do but believe in Christ. They believe fulfill means to do everything perfectly, as in fulfill a requirement, so that we don't have to. Fulfill in Mathew 5:17 Jesus means that he came to fulfill the law and...

Your post is what Mathew 5:39 is all about. It's not about allowing someone to hit you twice to avoid an argument... In Jesus' time a slap was a grave insult to a person -- maybe like spitting on someone today. Jesus was saying to show any that might witness this act of insult would understand...

The word is Tartarus.

I think this is a good idea. Spend some time alone with God. Whatever that means to you...it changes as you go. God loves all those who seek Him...Those who seek find. Jesus stands at the door and knocks...we get to open the door. Blessings.... (come back some day)

Right. But another poster here is saying that John died in Ephesus. Do you know if John died in Ephesus or on the island of Patmos?

I had asked @Charlie Foster for some scripture regarding a person returning to earth after death for a second chance,,,,but he never replied. I wish he would.

I agree with you, I did consider this. I doubt a 17 year old would pick up on the difficult theology...

Yes, I know that current biblical scholars have changed their belief about different matters. I was more interested in where John died. Has that changed or don't I remember correctly? I thought it was Patmos where he had been banished after boiling him in hot oil didn't work! I'll google...

I know Patmos. Don't know the year, but he was about 90. ?? If you find out, let me know.

Yes. Read it for yourself and if you have a question...ask someone here. Start with one of the four gospels....maybe John would be best. He was the only one standing at the cross with Jesus...together with Jesus' mother, her sister, and Mary Magdalene. He died at the old age of 90 on an...

Yes sir. That's wishful thinking if ever there was wishful thinking. Just speak it and it disappears! Maybe he could do the same for the hot place?

Get out? You ain't even goin' there! Didn't you hear what the Pope said...there is no limbo, and he should know since some pope before him said there is.

The O.P. says that MAYBE the people of old needed a second chance. A second chance is not necessary because from the beginning of time, people were able to know God and to decide if they cared to worship Him or not. Romans 1:19-20 19because that which is known about God is evident within them...

OK

Yeah! He rules.

LOL Onus means YOU have to do all the work !
