    Bible contradictions

    The apocryphal books exclude themselves because of being out of harmony with the harmonious 66 Bible books. The Sadducees ( sad you see ) because they did Not believe in a resurrection - Luke 20:27 Even righteous dead Jesus went to hell. Biblical hell that is: the temporary grave for the...

    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    Part 2 That life is over. Sins replayed and forgiven, reward presented. The soul has left "that life" behind for good. The Book of Life, aka world school enrollment records. [wink] Think of all God's children going from grade (human life) to grade (human life) until the reach the perfection...

    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    Only at the Resurrection, which Jesus said is a future event (John 6:40,44), will good & bad people be brought back to life. — John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15. But right now, until that “future event” comes, the dead are dead. — Genesis 3:19; Ecclesiastes 9:5,10; Psalm 146:3,4; Ecclesiastes 3:19,20...

    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    So here I go. Firstly, reading the writings of Origen of Alexandria probably influenced me a great deal. However, he was conflicted over reincarnation. Most know that the eastern religions have believed in reincarnation for millennia. And Plato wrote his views on his belief in reincarnation...

    WOW -- I've got some homework ahead of me! LOL I love it! Thank you for the research and thinking challenge. I will surely reply when I have my notes compiled. My scratch pad is already on my chair arm ready to go............

    I have a feeling that the afterlife doesn't exist

    I'm interested in knowing your personal interpretation of the following scriptures. I'm addressing this post specifically to you because I'd like to know your thoughts on them. I decided to address you directly because I'm already aware of how a couple of others in this discussion interpret the...

    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    Well, first of all, “hell” is nothing like it has been taught. Did you know Jacob said he was going to hell when he died? — Genesis 37:35, Douay….”And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son...

    What is God's highest priority?

    In Scripture I find Not ' afterlife ' (meaning more alive after death then before death) but I find: Resurrection - Acts 24:15 Resurrected from death's deep sleep. Jesus equated 'death with sleep' at John 11:11-14 Jesus knew 'sleep' from the old Hebrew Scriptures - Psalms 6:5; 13:3; 115:17...

    God is a serial killer (Biblically). We need the Virgin Mary!

    God is not your friend if he lets the devil rape and murder your family in front of you, could have effortlessly stopped it, but chose to create the monster, blame the monsters, while he leaves humanity blind, confused, incapable of understanding, divided among sincere theologians... If that...

    God is a serial killer (Biblically). We need the Virgin Mary!

    this entire topic has me wondering what the heck the O.P is on about...does he not believe in the devil and that evil, sin, and the consequences are not of God's choosing? The virgin Mary isnt capable of doing diddly squat. The bible clearly states the following: Ecclesiastes 9:5 King James...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    Dead Jesus did Not go to a 'religious-myth hell of burning forever' because there is No fire in 'sheol' biblical hell/grave. If biblical hell/grave/sheol was a permanent place Jesus would still be there - Acts 2:27 KJV translated the word Gehenna into English as: hell fire. Gehenna was a...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    False clergy may teach 'go to forever in hell' ( as in burn forever ) but that is Not what the Bible teaches. Biblical hell is simply mankind's temporary stone-cold grave for the 'sleeping' dead. That is why Jesus and the OT both teach 'sleep in death'. - Psalms 6:5; 13:3; 115:17; Isaiah...

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    You are kidding, right? Read the bold text that you've written...:laughing: Martyrs were well tormented before being usually decapitated.

    “The Son is equal to his Father”

    True, martyrs don't go through what Jesus went through. Some martyrs simply just faced a firing squad for not giving up their faith. So, yes on a basis of victory already achieved. True, dead Jesus went to hell ( Acts 2:27 ) but Jesus was Not tortured in biblical hell. Biblical hell is just...

    Hell a Look at Self

    there is no death but simply change, eternal change, eternal life along the path of unconditional love. let the dead bury the dead in the grave of the body? imprison the will, the spirit in weakness of flesh? And now She reaches the point where hemmed in by evil, She knows no way out...

    Hell a Look at Self

    Seems to me is to which hell one is referring. To some religious-myth hell, or biblical hell which is: the grave for the sleeping dead. ( John 11:11-14; Psalm 115:17; Isaiah 38:18; Ecclesiastes 9:5 ) So, No mental state but unconsciousness for the sleeping dead. The 'seemingly disparate...

    What is God's highest priority?

    God created Satan as an angelic cherub - Ezekiel 28:13-15 Satan was drawn out by his own desire for humans to worship him - James 1:13-15 Satan turned himself into a Satan and a Devil by disobeying God. Biblical hell is just mankind's temporary stone-cold grave for the 'sleeping dead' til...

    God and Death

    ..... once they die, or once they are resurrected ? Acts 24:15 places the resurrection -> in the coming future that ' there is going to be ' a resurrection...... As when Jesus was dead (Acts 2:27) the dead know nothing - Ecclesiastes 9:5; Psalm 115:17; Isaiah 38:18; John 11:11-14,24 Know...

    End Times?

    Thank you for the ^ above ^. I can go with non-awareness, kind of like a person is not aware of anything while deep asleep. Not just physical but also No mental awareness. So, it is No wonder Ecclesiastes 9:5 states that the dead know nothing.

    End Times?

    A transitional event just means a change of state. In the event of death, from a state of physical awareness to non-awareness.
