Thank you. As with many things, it depends on one's view of the matter. Some sum it up one way, while others sum it up differently. It's good to try to look at it carefully. Some things are clear to me and not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. (Obviously.) One of the scriptures I have in mind...
Since you believe those verses are true, which are presumably Jesus' words, I'm curious to know if you believe the following verses are also true.
According to the Bible, Jesus described hell as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), where “the fire is not quenched”...
Hey DNB, hope you and yours are doing well!
If these Scriptures are to be understood literally, then really if someone is literally experiencing punishment / torment forever? To experience something, you have to be alive, aware. But Matthew 25:46 contrasts the two phrases.
Are you familiar...
I do believe, as you do, in the texts of Ecclesiastes 9:5, Genesis 3:19, and Psalms 146:3,4. I believe in soul-sleep. But, I don't regard the verses in question as eschatological, but merely expressing the significance of being alive, and how useless one is upon death: in praising God or doing...
That's correct, but it says nothing about the 4th commandment. There is no time paradox here. Abraham could not keep a 7th day Sabbath given to Moses hundreds of years later.
God did bless the 7th creative day. We really have no idea how long those days were. It could have been 24 hours or...
Yes, in John 17:3 Jesus said … that eternal/everlasting life is to know the only true God, and Jesus Christ.
Eternal life is a life with God forever; a relationship with one’s Creator enjoying His love, joy, beauty, goodness, creativity and so much more throughout eternity.
Spiritual death is...
Oh please, how can there be eternal misery in biblical hell when the Bible's hell ends up empty __________
After everyone in biblical hell is 'delivered up' (KJV) meaning: resurrected out of hell, and then, emptied-out hell ends up in that symbolic ' second death ' for vacated biblical hell -...
Your response here...
As I expected you did not address anything in the post and the scriptures you are quoting from that are in disagreement with you again. Who would have guessed :)
The Death Penalty is not in force for someone working on the seventh day: breaking the Sabbath law.
Basically, you are saying in your usual humungously long posts:
The command for burnt offerings no longer apply
The law of putting JEWS to death for violating the sabbath law NO LONGER apply...
Burnt offerings were made for everyday of the week under the old covenant Sanctuary laws under the Levitical Priesthood for sin offerings and for forgiveness of sins which all pointed to the coming of Jesus as Gods' sacrifice for the sins of the world once and for all *See John 1:29 and Hebrews...
Hi GC nice to meet you and thanks for joining us. I know this was for another member but I thought to add some comments that might be helpful as I have studied this topic in a lot of detail from the Old testament scriptures. You are referring to the death penalty under the civil laws of Israel...
Your response here...
Goodness Soapy when are you going to start addressing all the post content and the scriptures that you are responding to that are in disagreement with you in post # 1577 linked; post # 1578 linked; post # 1579 linked; post # 1580 linked; post # 1581 linked; post # 1582...
So you are agreeing that the covenant has changed … You are saying that ‘DO NO WORK’ some how does not now apply to the Sabbath!
So if PARTS of the Sabbath Law are changed (when YOU say they are changed) what of the Sabbath Law that Jesus says is changed: WORSHIP IS NOW IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH …...
We are in the new covenant now not the old. According to the old covenant scriptures under the civil laws of the nation of Israel, if anyone was found openly and publicly breaking Gods' Sabbath day by working on the Sabbath they were to be put to death. This was to teach Gods' people that the...
Your response here...
I did not make up the scriptures in the post you did not bother to respond to. The scriptures in the post you are ignoring show that Gods Israel in the new covenant are simply all those who through faith have been born again to walk in Gods' Spirit. Your response above...
Your response here...
There is a lot of scripture here that disagrees with you. What is it that you do not understand from the post you were not able to respond to here?
more to come...
Your response here...
Nonsense but here is why. According to the scriptures we are to keep the Sabbath here and now in this world (see Exodus 20:8-11). God's 4th commandment is one of Gods' 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken (Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John...
What??????
You just made that up…. Wow! You are getting desperate….
You are aware that the above quote is from the book of Revelation pertaining to the end of time when all things and people are brought under the one authority of God!! The ‘rest’ of God will be one rest which is why it is...
Absolutely, and all of Gods' people will even be keeping the Sabbath according to the scriptures after the second coming in the new heavens and the new earth.
The Heavenly Sabbath is a universal Sabbath since all people will be ONE NATION IN GOD. Things are different in the new world to come...
