Gehenna and Hades are mentioned in the n.t. then and they were translated as hell.

What??

Please explain.

Sounds just like purgatory. So you believe in purgatory now?

I believe most here know this. We're trying to understand where evil comes from. Do you believe God created evil? It seems like you don't, but then you posted Isaiah 45:7

Is that judging!!

I'm not judging God... I believe God is all-good.

NO! I do NOT conclude that. Therein lies the problem. There is no conclusion. If something about God cannot be understood, it's best to leave it alone. We can't understand everything, we'd be on the same level as God. Everyone must come to their own understanding, or acceptance.

Can't go back and check. Did it not address how the pharisees accused Jesus of exorcising demons by the power of satan, thus attributing that to the Holy Spirit? The above is also true. But that is denying the Holy Spirit. Romans 1:20 about the Holy Spirit? I must have misquoted. Again...

Did I say I interpret scripture?? Where? I do believe I said the opposite. I don't care for SOLO scriptura. Not to be confused with sola scriptura. I don't care for persons who sit at home speaking to the Holy Spirit and coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas that have nothing to do with...

This is all very nice. So how come we don't agree on everything? If it's as easy as you say, why do some believe in eternal security which is nowhere to be found in the N.T.? Why do some claim there is work to do and some claim there is no work to do? Why do some believe God is to be obeyed and...

If you mean what I think you mean, I agree. WE are not responsible enough to interpret scripture. It takes very learned men if we are to dig deep. Personally, I trust the early theologians, before everything got all messed up. This would be before the Christian religion was declared the...

Isn't this situational ethics?

LOL It was the post that I liked, and I'll tell you why. This is the post from @KBCid: And what does it really mean to repent? Is it ok to say i'm sorry for trespassing the moral laws Lord but I can't help doing it... So, will you forgive me anyway and I'll just keep on doing the same thing I...

When we take our eyes off Jesus we fail. Because it's US doing what we need to do and it's not Jesus doing everything for us. If it were, Peter would have kept on walking. Such a simple theory...

I find this walking on the water very interesting. I hear say that it is Christ in us that is doing our work for us and not us. So then I might ask: Why didn't Jesus keep Peter up and walking on the water? WHY did Peter fail if it's Jesus working everything through us? Maybe our feelings and...

Well KBCid, If you care to check it out, Jesus' main teaching was not on how to be saved, but on how to belong to the Kingdom of God here on earth. He spoke about salvation about 5 times. He spoke about the Kingdom 100X or more in the 4 gospels. He announced that He came to bring the Kingdom...

It sounds like you're saying Jesus didn't commit His flesh because of sin. He could have commited either - Jesus was sinless. But it's our spirit that goes to be with God, not our body. Not until the new earth. When we die we only get our glorified body --- not our resurrected body. (not that...

Was Jesus just a man? Was He the Messiah? Was He the Son of God? Was He God? You're allowed to believe what you will. You can't force your brain to believe something you don't. What I'm saying is that there are standards to being called a Christian. They were already made up just after Jesus...
