"I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." The truth of salvation by...

Hello TheLearner, We do have a way of knowing where the spirits of people (those who die in their sins) go at the time of death and that according to the word of God. The event of the rich man and Lazarus is in the word of God for this very reason. It gives us a glimpse into the transition from...

Hello mindfulzen, "nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts." - Revelation 9:21 The scripture above is found after the sounding of the 6th trumpet, where those who will have not been killed by the previous plagues, still will not have...

Welcome, Welcome in Christ, AnnG! You definitely have the right spiritual attitude regarding any type of persecution for Christ's name sake. Hope to see you out on the Forum.

Hi Lanolin, First of all, we have to understand that the new earth is new and is not going to be a refurbishment of this current earth. Regarding this, consider the following: "Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and...

Hello SeekerInChrisis, Hebrew = Yeshua Greek = Iesous (ee-ay-sooce) The name Jesus is a transliteration of the Greek name Iesous which is a transliteration of the name Yeshua. Just fyi, Roman Catholicism did not come into being until 590 CE, So no, Jesus was not a part of the RCC, as it did...

I have tried to get ewq1938 to understand that the translated word destruction does not mean annihilation or cessation of existence, but he/she pays no attention to scriptures and their supporting words, reasoning or logic, which demonstrate unending, conscious punishment for the wicked. Now, we...

Good day, Magenta, First of all, I am well aware that the meaning of the translated word "forever" does not always mean forever. The Greek word aion/aionios can mean 'a cycle of time, an age or eternal, i.e. never ending. Regarding your examples, such as mixing Jude with Ezekiel, this is not a...

While it is true that the Israelites escaped the 10 plagues, Noah escaped via the Ark and Lot escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, there will be no place to escape to on the earth during the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments, for God's wrath will be upon the whole earth, the severity...

No, it is not 'we' who know, but 'you' who thinks you know that being tormented day and night forever as not meaning literal. It seems as though you have abandoned all logic and reasoning. Even when I put the definition right in front of your face, you still ignore it. Once again, it is because...

Making those words "not literal" is just a way of ignoring the truth of what is plainly stated. By using that manner of interpretation, one could circumvent any scripture they wanted to by just saying "It's not literal." Do you interpret the Lord's promise of salvation and eternal life in the...

And God bless you as well. I'm greatly concerned about the truth and accuracy of God's word. "For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the...

Show us the scripture which says, "no longer exist." Did you not read the definition that I provided for you regarding the Greek words which state that they do no imply annihilation? The translated word "destroyed" does not mean cessation of existence, but eternal ruination, to be completely...

It is important to bring in all of the other scriptures regarding any given subject in order to come to a right conclusion. As an example: In Matt.24:31 it states that at the end of the age, the Lord will send out His angels and they will gather His elect from the four corners of the earth. If...

No He did not die under the OT! He died as one receiving Christ. As I said, I have already given you the example of Cornelius' household who received the Holy Spirit and that before being baptized and that by pure faith. After that they were baptized. However, this is not something that the...

That is why I listed the scripture which uses the word 'ek' which means 'out of.' I will keep you out of the hour of trial, not through it or during it. Usually people reject this because it destroys their mid or post tribulation view, which it does. This is also why from chapter 4 onward we...

Yes, the church will escape the tribulation period, because the church is not appointed to suffer it. It will be God's wrath being poured out upon a Christ rejecting world, those who are embracing the sinful nature. Where do you get the idea that the Lord's promise is not to every single...

Jesus could not have been preparing His disciples to go through the great tribulation and because they are long dead and the great tribulation has yet to take place. Neither is He speaking to believers who will be alive on the earth just before the tribulation begins. It is important to...
