It's OK MM. God is God. He's everywhere and he knows your heart and that you're seeking to understand. You don't have to know a bunch of denominations or know any theology or anything. You just have to know that you want to live with God,,,whatever you do and wherever you go.... You're very...

The soul never dies...you've brought this up before. When people say "the dead" they mean dead to THIS life and then immediately comes the afterlife. I've never met anyone who believes in soul sleep or the soul dying.

It's 1 am here and I'm logging off... BUT, I don't quite understand what the above has to do with our being judged after we die... Could you expound?

Funny. It is appointed for man to die once, and then comes the judgement. Hebrews 9:27

OOooooh. There are Etruscan ruins near me! And how long would the history of New York be? 30 seconds? :)

How old are YOU stumpmaster? MM is SEVENTEEN years old. Do you remember when YOU were 17??? That verse won't do it. Here's one that might MM: Trust in the Lord with all your heart And lean not on your understanding In all your ways acknowledge Him And He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6

Here it is again: If you're looking for God, you've already found Him. WHO is looking for God? Someone who doesn't care about God or someone who does? If you do care about God, what does that mean?

Sure it does. Think about it and then write back to me. I think you were a JW toooooo long and forgot how to think for yourself. Could this be the problem??? Here it is again: If you're worried about your salvation, it means you're already saved. Here's a question that could help you: Do...

@Stranger is telling you what he's telling you for your own good. You're sounding like you wallow in the mire. Get out of it for goodness sake. Stop worrying about your salvation. I'll tell you a little secret... If you're worried about your salvation, it means you're saved. Here's something...

It explains how we take a gamble. If we gamble right...we win. If we gamble wrong...we lose. IOW, it's better to believe in God, because if after death there's nothing, we have nothing to lose...but if after death there's something and we wake up and are not saved...we'll pay on our skin! I...

That's what I said !! Sheol/Hades is Luke 15....

In Luke those lost are already in "hell" where they belong. The righteous and faithful in God from before Jesus died are in Abraham's Bossom. They were released into heaven because the resurrection opened heaven's gate. I don't believe the "prisoners" in 1 Peter 3:18 are the people in Luke 15...

I don't believe anyone knows what Peter was referring to. The only statement I ever heard about this is that humans are not referred to as "spirits" in the bible. But what could that mean? Does it mean the fallen angels? Did Jesus go to proclaim to them that death was won? But then why would...

LOL They pray for the dead people in purgatory. It's supposed to get them out sooner. They also pray to dead people that have been made saints. Before someone is declared a saint, they have to have 3 miracles to their credit. So they figure if someone could do 3 miracles they must have an in...

LOL No! Why does everyone think the Catholic church is so weird? And don't say: Because it is!! The CC believes you must decide BEFORE you die, then it's too late. It's hell, or heaven with a brief stop in purgatory for 98% of all persons. The Pope might get a free pass, or maybe not ---...

There's a church in my area that teaches this. I read their statement of faith and it clearly says that we could be saved after death.

True. (The CC has many of them).

Cute. I like this. It's a little more serious but very nice:

I stopped unzipping years ago. I even forgot all about it. Yes, it happens automatically now. As does everything else....My first computer with windows was in 1995. I had to do EVERYTHING manually, but it was still better than DOS. And were they slow! When something was saved there was a...

I see what you mean. Isn't a doctrine something that has to be accepted as a teaching of a particular church? Can a teaching NOT be a doctrine? I have to think about this some more. Wait...IOW, In the Nazarene church I was TAUGHT that man is a trichotomy. But it is not a doctrine...one could...
