I have already made my case, that being the history of revelation by God throughout all generations. God has not only made himself "believed" or speculated about, but has made himself known - it is he who has stated his case...leaving me nothing but to point it out. As for the rest of the...

That speaks against everything that is known, believed, and written within the gospel as handed down by the providence of God through all the ages. Against such overwhelming opposition, how do you plead - how would you make your case?

Good one Frank! My wife and I have attended 4 different churches that fell apart. We started to get a complex - like maybe it was us...not really. We tried to help to no avail. It seems there is a bit of "I am" even in the bad stuff - people are what they are and do what they will do, even if...

"The only begotten" voids any idea of reincarnation. The subject here is life and death...and this life according to God, is not event living. "God is the god of the living"...and we 'must be born again of the spirit of God" to experience it. So... reincarnation from death to death - how...

Those scriptures prove nothing of the sort. Psalm 6:5 refers to the body not being able to remember "You" (the Lord), not to people. Psalm 30:9 refers only to the flesh. Psalm 146:4 also only to the flesh. "Soul sleep" is a fallacy of the carnal mind, just as is Purgatory. Those verses were...

It is a hard saying, yes, but not unintelligible...if you can receive it. These are all eternal (timeless) matters "laid open" in time. That is how they must be understood - this is the time of their being "laid open", for time is limited to the world, and the world is passing away. Yet if you...

Again, that is all a perception of things on a timeline, which is not the case in the kingdom. That understanding is true as it has been written, and for our understanding, but in the renewing of our mind it is not so. We will even experience the Judgement and opening of the Book of Life, as you...

That is all true...except your understanding of the timing. Considering all things to be on a worldly timeline, you would be correct. But the kingdom is "not of this world." In the kingdom there is "no shadow of turning" - no time. Therefore, if one dies today, and another dies 10 years from...

You are assuming a lot. It would only be "obvious that Adam was aware" and "that God was going to restore what was lost" - if it was clearly stated...which it was not.

Conceivably. Adam certainly would have believed in God, perhaps even known his Creator (the Son). But what is written of the need to "also eat of the Tree of Life" was a private conversation, so he may not have known to "believe in Christ" for his salvation. On the other hand, God may simply...

There is - I've seen it.

Yes, and it is that "appointed time" that we are discussing. But you have not answered my question as to how much time exists after you die? My point is, that if you also believe that "to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord"...then that is the "appointed time." And if you...

On an elementary level that would seem so. But since you ask me a question (the answer of which is, Yes), I will also ask you a question: How much time exists after the end of your own time? I suspect that you are inclined to say you do not know. But I know. Just as in Adam all died, but each...

I am not familiar with that song - but to answer your question, "Who says time only exists on this side?"...I am. As long as you refer to the world, indeed, those will be your findings. But then again, that is not the topic here.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren.

Your explanation still has timing issues... There is no "awaiting" the resurrection after death, only before. Time only exists on this side, not on that side. Technically speaking that would put the resurrection in the future for those who died before Christ's resurrection, and in the past for...

Your explanation is good and hopefully useful to those who struggle with the complex nature of God. The problem comes when people make human limitations the limit also for God. How silly!

If I may offer the unanswered "problem scriptures"... These "problem scriptures" are simply difficult to understand. But God is higher than we are, and these are not a problem for him. The same is true even among people...some things that are easy for some, are beyond the ability of others. I...

Welcome Truth! Since this is a Rapture thread, I will take the opportunity to clarify His coming (His return). If Christ has come to you in spirit - He has come already. Likewise, if you have died to self, then it is not you who lives, but Christ who lives in you - He has come already. He has...

You have missed the point... When the body dies it returns to the dust and the spirit returns to God who gave it. That body which is sown is not the same body that is raised up. We are to be "One" with Christ and God...not something other. God is spirit...and the flesh is not. As for the...
