I do not think we have to die in order to have children, that was poor wording on my part. Our DNA is passed from parents to children as we reproduce. That lives on in our children after we die. I was explaining to you how it is we are comparable to worms.
Dec.25th was originally a pagan holiday, and that is why the pagans still celebrate it. The Christians were robbed of their holy days after the apostles were all dead. Along with that they were deceived into believing that the pagan holiday was Christian by dressing it up as Christian but...
Of course God didn't give actual worms eternal life, perhaps your lack of understanding comes from your lack of knowledge of the human body. In these mortal bodies we constantly reproduce our cells, in that, we are the same as worms, and when we die we pass our DNA on to our off spring in a...
Matt.11.23 "And thou Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell, for if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day", the question was, what would be worse than total inhalation, because that is what...
first, there is eternal evidence of the fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, but it is no longer burning, so how is that eternal?
Isa.50.11 "Behold all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks. walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled...
Mr.Beebe, this is the post you wanted me to
Me Beebe, since this is where the disconnect began, here is where I will take it up again.
I do not believe that the wages of sin are eternal life in some eternal fire.
Eternal fire, is not a literal fire, but the opposite of the peace that is...
Friend, as per the thread title, Isa.58.13 "--not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words". 2 Pet.1.20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scriptures is of any private interpretation". That is why 2 Tim.2.15 says "study to show thyself...
No it isn't. When I was first called to familiarize myself with the whole word of God, I totally believed that hell was where I would go when I died if I were not saved. Here is one scripture I do not have to look up to quote. "Ps.146.4 "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, in...
If that is what Judaism teaches, it is surmised, because it is not true according to scripture - unless you understand that is what "the judgment" accomplishes, and before we die, and thus we are not touched by "the second death".
I admittedly do not know a whole lot about Judaism as a faith walk, but from what I do know about that and Christian doctrine, neither one has found the wisdom that was hidden in plain sight to be found only by the chosen generation.
How many times have we heard and/or said "that burns me up"? Isa.50.11 "Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand, ye shall lie down in sorrow".
Isa.45.18 "For thus sayeth the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it, he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited; I am the LORD; and there is none else". Ps.78.69 "-- like the earth which he hath established...
About Mark 9.44-46 and Isa.66.24 "Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched";
Job 17.14 "I have said to corruption, thou are my father; to the WORM. thou art my mother, and my sister";
Job 25.6 "How much less a man, that is a WORM? and the son of man that is a WORM?"
Isa.41.14...
