"And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." Matt 9:2 Do you suppose that this man who had been sick of the palsy, was saved for always from that point...

Consider what Nehushtan was when Moses made it at the instruction of God and what it was when King Hezekiah destroyed it. Have you ever met someone who twisted the truth to fit another more convenient or comfortable [to them ] mold and then worshipped that twisted truth [which of course was a...

It is perhaps clear to you according to what you believe. Does it fit God's plan or is it your own? Is your vision "face to face" already?

Much fruit would be brought forth because Jesus opened the Way. With it closed no one could go in... He made it a possibility and some have taken advantage of it walking the Way that God has provided through His Son... but they still have to walk it themselves? God is no respecter of persons...

The forgiveness on God's part cleans us up but... "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then...

God being no respecter of persons did not give us passage the end of our road with nothing required on our part. Rather Jesus was sent to open up the possibility so we could choose for ourselves what Adam chose or we could choose a better way. When a better way is chosen it needs to be traveled...

Or whoever or whatever we worship as Nehushtan [see II Kings 18:4]!

You cited it, but it does not change a thing, does it? How many arguments have men had as to whether it is a parable or a real history? Would my opinion make a difference no matter which side I took? I cannot increase anyone. I do simply seek to consume the entire loaf, much being not...

Jesus died to open the Way for us. The Way was closed and guarded when Adam and Eve were put on the outside. Jesus opened up the Way, so that each of us may walk through it, but like Paul, to do so requires dying by us: "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die...

Adam and Eve died when they disobeyed God. All of their offspring, the offspring of the dead, have also been dead. Jesus confirms here: "But Jesus said … let the dead bury their dead." Matt 8:22

The traditional may well be what Dante and others have imagined. It might hard to trace using scripture or our own preconceived notions.

And man is just a bit of earth is he not, a dead bit of earth unless or until he has received the Life which Jesus brought? So then is not hell in the heart of the man?

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." Ezek 18:20

Has someone misplaced hell? Did Jesus simply come "down" to hell when he was born of Mary in Bethlehem? According to the scriptures, did he not live here on planet Earth about 33½ years. Was it not time spent in hell? Why is that few people consider that this place where are now in the flesh...

wadr = with all due respect

Most people don't want to be at the "bottom" but consider what Jesus said: "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." Matt 23:11-12 It seems that the way "up" is "down" or...?

The way the law was when I was working a second marriage would have been recognized if it had been legal in Utah. The bigamy laws for the most part were not federal laws, but state laws. There are federal laws regarding marriages occurring within United States jurisdiction, [such as aboard US...

The word, Christian, is at best problematic, because people have their own definitions. Just remember this: "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11:26 But as our friend @bbyrd009 might say, many people are not believing that the promise is now...

Perhaps as I am believing more earnestly all of the time that people are already in hell here now in what they call home in the good old USA and the rest of men's world. As to heaven that is a whole other thing, but for you, apparently being an unbeliever, I won't press that on you... Eat, drink...

If you get completely on the inside it would be safer bet than owning a good set of counterfeiting plates to print bills that people will accept in exchange for goods and services. If it were how much longer? Are people going to stop accepting "good" [Hmmm?] hard cash printed by Uncle Sam very...
