    Matt 27:50-53

    That is a hell of a question.:) Luke 16:30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’31Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I hear what you are saying. I was convinced for a period with that argument courtesy of the watchtower folks. But this knowledge was attained by mysterious means. This is totally contradicted by the bible. Everything should be plainly spoken devoid of any conjectures. I was going to mention...

    IS JESUS GOD

    The "Word was God" is translated by most trinitarian scholar as the "Word was Divine" because it becomes a modalism problem. Jesus as God is the God of Jesus? Those are just a few of the incoherence of your belief. I won't go on. Consider the words of the apostles and evangelists. Peter -...

    I don't understand

    There are some folks here who understand that universe is a pool shot. God struck the cue ball once and everything that happens happens. They are usually called calvinist or reformed. Because of their belief in predestination, they end up concluding God is responsible for everything, that...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I think it may be the same mountain that piles on the head of those in the Abyss. Hebrew translation of 2Pe2:4 For if Elohim did not spare the messengers who sinned, but cast them down to the roots of the mountains and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Nice verse. I think I commented on it once but forgot about it. In this verse it is Lord God (YHWH) is using the allegory and He is Lord of Hosts Zech 9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Yes Jesus as Michael can be interpreted without much theological disturbance. But the compromise of the logical principle has far reaching effects on more foundational issues. Let the double edged sword fall where it may. This is the way of Truth. The Bride is married in Revelation 19...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I believe I have been righteously rebuked. I knew I should have left the innuendo out. Consider me properly rebuked. Not about hell though. ;) I guess there is very little else I can say to shake your tree, so I will leave that to Jesus. Please have the last word.

    Is the human soul immortal?

    Consider Romans 2:6Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    I have to hand it to you, you get a lot of mileage from 2 verses. As I cannot appeal to your sense of familial duty, nor depend on the integrity of your logical principles, nor your fear of God, how about some extrapolations from the Good Book and no verses? No Jesus is not a hellmonger...

    So who compromises the principles for the sake of an argument? It is truth or not! 1 Tim 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their...

    Must one believe that Jesus is God in order to be saved?

    Bibliotry? Talking about a man made doctrine... You speak illogically and vapidly. Clarify how the bible does not document the sayings/works of the Saints, God and Jesus? My bet is that you are expounding catholicism of roman sort.

    Must one believe that Jesus is God in order to be saved?

    I see the bible simply. To be saved, I should avoid the lake of fire. What is the ticket to the lake of fire, the marks. The marks on the forehead are as per Ezekiel for those who wept for tammuz and were carted of to babylon. Those marked that were of the temple were killed. The marks on...
