No, they don't wan to die, but realistic people face the fact that they are going to die someday, and rational people do not expect to be resurrected from the dead and live on earth forever. That is a fantasy.
Yes, we do tire of these things if we are not attached to them.
If Christians...
Believing and maintaining one’s Christian beliefs takes effort. All should pray for Holy Spirit, read and meditate on God’s word (daily) and test it out.-Acts 17:11. Examine yourself to determine if the following counsel is affecting you.
Having a spiritual eye-or insight/understanding-as is a...
Don't worry Mr Thrillobyte, sometimes people like to get all internet tough. Jesus is similar to many Greek deities. You can read about this in David Litwas latest

The angels in Heaven are not preparing for anything. They are already Holy souls so they don't need to acquire any qualities.
So I guess you mean the Words that are in the New Testament?
Yes, I expect that Christians will continue to preach the Gospel, even though it has been preached to all...
What are the angels in Heaven preparing for _______________ What qualities are angels preparing for _______________
Besides John 14:19 in verse 18 B please notice Jesus says, " I am coming to you. "
So, it will Not be a physical coming but as Isaiah 11:3-4; Rev. 19:14-15 informs us that the...
For life in__________ .... What is __________ ?
That is why we are here physically, but we are not physical beings, we are spiritual beings, so the main reason we are here is to develop spiritual qualities.

it been a quite awhile since that Lord's Day too.
that Lord's day has come and gone
Isaiah 40:2 "Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins." Isaiah 40:3...
Simply put, Isaiah is definitely not about Jesus, especially since it deals with people and events long beofte Jesus' time.
For example, in Jerome's Bible Commentary, it states that Isaiah isn't directly about Jesus, but events leading up to Jesus and what Jesus meant to his followers can be...
lol, lol, lol, been showing you all along, but you cannot see. you're looking for the literal word. "JESUS", well here he is again, JESUS is the ARM of God, in flesh.
let you see him again, Isaiah35:4 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come...
so, again, through all of your interpretations, you cannot show me Jesus in the text. Just your derivation and interpretation. If you want to, as you say, stick with " just scripture" you have yet to show Jesus in the scripture. You have only shown Jesus in your interpretation of scripture. Now...
to rosends, and to many of the Hebrew language. that's why many are blind, they see only with their eyes. Listen and LEARN. God's OWN ARM is HIM, which came in flesh, the Messiah.
words, ..... one needs to know.
Objective, Subjective... this is where anthropomorphism comes in at, as well as...
I think it comes down to an issue of the person Jesus not fulfilling the expectations of the Messianic figure extrapolated from the scriptures. Rosends has acknowledged that there was an anticipation of a deliver in those times as well as claimants before and after.
* The followers of Jesus...
no interpretive gymnastics, just scripture, let's reveal it, and establish it, by the word of God. see you say interpretive gymnastics, your own bible say, this, Isaiah 28:10 "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a...
Addressing the OP only. I commend you on your honest apprioach..... ok. but why say all this? is as you said it's self serving.
so, why not take the main problem out of the equation.... "SELF", and let the scripture speak for themself.
example, YOU said there is no "JESUS" in Isaiah 53. now...
TRUE, and did not Israel and Judah play the Harlot? Jeremiah 3:6 "The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot." Jeremiah 3:7...
@dybmh, or anyone who disagrees that in Isaiah35:4 God came
ok, let's see if what you said is true. John 3:1 "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:" John 3:2 "The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from...
