    Why ‘us vs them’?

    In Genesis chapter 11 we find the world started out with one language ( one vocabulary ) In high school English class we were forming sentences by using the fewest words to express some thoughts. In answer to a question, the teacher said the English language was Not that comprehensive. One...

    Why ‘us vs them’?

    Bingo! Yes, Adam was a man with a man's heart. Once Adam chose to break God's Law then fallen Adam's heart contained the inclination leaning towards /wrongdoing. We are all born after fallen father Adam's downfall thus inheriting his acquired wrong inclinations. I like how Jeremiah 17:9...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    I like how you say 'the spirit leaves and moves on', but to where? As God's spirit (Psalm 104:30) is a neuter "it" (Numbers 11:17,25) so is man's spirit a neuter "it"- see Ecclesiastes 12:7 B. At death one's spirit "it" returns to God in the sense that a foreclosed house returns to the owner...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    I was merely expressing that what Luke wrote in chapter 3 was from the old Jewish ancestral temple records. Old Hebrew Scripture at 1st Chronicles chapter 1 verse 1 starts out with Adam as a real person. If Jews do Not accept 1st Chronicles I did Not know that. Thank you for that information.

    Why ‘us vs them’?

    A lot of people don't believe Satan is real. A lot of people don't believe the Creation accounts. But to me a comparison should prove to be informative. Why believe Satan is real or why not real.

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Oops, I just thought you were familiar with 1st Chronicles. Sorry for getting ahead of myself. The reason I wanted to mention 1 Chron.1:1 was because there the Jewish ancestral list begins/starts with the man Adam. Luke would have used those long-existing temple records in Luke chapter 3...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Yes, ' flesh and blood...' (physical can Not inherit the kingdom...) 1st Corinthians 15:50 because those called to Heaven will have a resurrected heavenly spirit body as Jesus has. The living figurative 'sheep' at Jesus coming Glory Time ( see Matt. 25:31-34,37 ) are alive here on Earth. They'll...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Where does Jesus teach 'afterlife' ( being more alive after death than before death ) ___________

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Did the 'whole nation of ancient Israel' think Adam and Eve was just a story, if that was so how do you explain 1st Chronicles chapter one's Jewish ancestral list _______________ along with Luke 3:38 _____________

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Since Jesus knew 'the dead know nothing', nothing but sleep, then there is No temporary hell fire for purification. - John 11:11-14; Psalm 115:17; Isaiah 38:18; Ecclesiastes 9:5 Since the dead are acquitted of their sins - Romans 6:7 - biblically there is No purification for the acquitted. Even...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Since the wicked are ' destroyed forever ' - Psalm 92:7; Psalm 104:35; Psalm 145:20 ; Proverbs 2:21-22 - there is No need for them to be part of a second resurrection but rather: second death - Revelation 21:8 The living figurative ' sheep ' at the time of Matthew 25:31-34,37 are not alone on...

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Gehenna was a garbage pit outside of Jerusalem where things were destroyed. If you destroy something in a fire place it is gone forever ( ashes for example ) The living were Never thrown into the Gehenna garbage pit. ( incinerator ) KJV wrongly translated Gehenna into English as hell fire, so...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Yes, Heaven is a spiritual domain (God lives in Heaven - 1st Kings 8:39) and so do the angels. Spirit angels will never live on Earth. Adam was never an angel before living on Earth. Adam was created to live forever on Earth. If Adam had Not broken God's Law Adam would be here alive today. The...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Over the centuries the Bible has many enemies from both within and without and No one can get rid of the Bible. Plus, No one can get rid of Bible people or stop the declaring of the good news of Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8 Who in the 1st century would have risked their lives if there was No evidence.

    What do you think of Purgatory?

    Jesus agrees with you because Jesus did Not think or teach about any purgatory. Jesus did Not resurrect his 4-day dead friend from any purgatory but simply brought him back to life - John 11:11-14 Jesus brought his friend back from death's deep sleep - John 11:11-14; Psalms 115:17; Isaiah...

    Why ‘us vs them’?

    Yes, even wicked sinner Satan ends up in 2nd death - Revelation 21:8 Jesus will 'destroy ' Satan - Hebrews 2:14 B This is what the first prophecy found at Genesis 3:15 is about Satan's head being crushed. - Romans 16:20 Sinner Satan's time is limited - Rev. 12:12 B As the 'spirit of life' died...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    Jesus believed the Jesus you are supposed to believe in is the Bible's Jesus - John 10:36; John 6:68-69; Luke 1:35 Jesus did Not teach he was his own God but as God's Son - John 10:36 B Jesus gives credit to his God as being The Creator - Rev. 4:11 Even the resurrected ascended-to-heaven Jesus...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    To me, 'reason' (logic) does Not rule out the original sin (aka first sin ) Please notice what the serpent/snake said at Genesis chapter 3 that Eve would Not die. That is why Jesus referred to Satan as the 'father' (life giver) to the lie. Telling a lie was the first sin. Nothing to do with any...

    What is your opinion of Jesus?

    There is an old adage to put your money where your mouth is. So, 'yes' it is the living (aka life style) but one's living or life style according to Jesus is to include to declare (discuss) the 'good news of God's Kingdom' on a global or international scale Jesus mentioned at Matthew 24:14; Acts...
