    What reward did Jesus receive for his sacrifice as God on earth?

    Yes, when Jesus spoke to the people, He only claimed to be a Son of GOD. Well, if Jesus is a Son of GOD, would be reasonable to assume that He is also GOD? John 10.30 30."I and the Father are One." John 12.45 45.”And whoever sees Me, sees Him Who sent Me.” John 14.11 11."Believe Me that I am...

    Who created all things: God or the Son?

    Hebrews 1.3 3.And He (Jesus Christ) is the radiance of His (Father's) Glory and the exact representation of His (Father's) nature, and upholds all things by the Word of His (Father's) power. When He had made purification of sins He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty (Father) on high...

    Something my dad said.

    You asked a question: "If the dead are still alive in spirit, of what need is there for a resurrection?" Resurrection means resurrection from a mortal physical body to a eternal physical body. When Jesus resurrected dead He had done it to show His power over the physical death, and those...

    Something my dad said.

    You wrote: Eccl 9 :4 There is hope for whoever is among the living, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion.+ 5 For the living know* that they will die,+ but the dead know nothing at all,+ nor do they have any more reward,* because all memory of them is forgotten.+ Yes we cannot...

    Something my dad said.

    Psalm 115:17 says The dead do not praise Jah;+ Nor do any who go down into the silence of death. I think the author of this psalm meant physical death, in which physically dead cannot praise the Lord, but because a spirit of a person leaves after death and is still alive, a spirit of physically...

    Job 1:20-21 and reincarnation.

    GOD created man from the dust of the earth. Form the dust we made and to dust we return. "Womb" under this context simply means earth.

    Something my dad said.

    Yes, a person can be taken in spirit to far away places. Matthew 4.5 is only one example. There is more: (2Kings 5.26) (Ezekiel 3.12.14.24, 8.3,11.1.5.19.24, 37.1.14, 43.5) (Matthew 4.1) (Mark 1.12) (Acts 8.39) Spirit can be also transferred from one person to another. (Numbers...

    Something my dad said.

    GOD created Adam from the dust of the ground (biological and chemical components of earth) Genesis 2.7. The next step; GOD breathed a part of His living soul-spirit into Adam, and Adam became a living being (this is a second part of verse 7). This means that when GOD created Adam from the...

    Something my dad said.

    I think Paul's out-of-body experience was true and real. To say exactly what it was, a vision, a dream, or something else, is impossible. But temporary separation of body and soul is reality. In some instances a Spirit of GOD can take human being to far away places and show something that...

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    I do not follow traditions, customs, and doctrines of any religious groups. I only have FAITH in the Bible, and whatever is written in it, I fully believe. Concerning Jesus, He was fulfillment of many prophesies, and the prophesies about Jesus, fulfill their part in the history of humankind...

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    I think it is almost impossible to convince atheist by Biblical prophesies and Biblical ideals. Because if atheist does not believe in GOD, surely he/she would not believe the Biblical Scriptures. But archeological evidence that support Biblical Scriptures and prophesies are very convincing...

    "Born of water" - meaning what exactly?

    In my point of view "born of water" means to wash your negative attributes from your soul and keep it clean. Just like Hebrews washed their physical uncleanness of their bodies in the water after disease, bodily fluids, and other things, and even their clothes and unclean items of their...

    A Scriptural Discussion

    To Peace. You mentioned in your question Ezekiel 18.4, which is said that: "...the soul that sinneth, it shall die." And I gave to you verses which revealed how souls die. You quoted my statement: "Thoughts stop in physical body when it dies, not in the soul, because it is soul that contains...

    A Scriptural Discussion

    To Peace. You asked: Do you have a scripture for this? Ezekiel 18:4 says the soul dies - stops living. Ezekiel 18.4 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Revelation 2.11 11."Let anyone who has an ear...

    A Scriptural Discussion

    You wrote: "2 different words used because they are different." Words is different but they indicate the same thing. You can call your car as automobile, vehicle, or transportation, but it does no mean that you have three different cars. You may have first name, middle name, and the last...

    Jonh 4.24 24."GOD is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.' I think you the one who twisting the text of the Bible. Show me a place in the Bible there it said that soul goes to GOD. Above all, what's the different between soul and spirit?
