    The Lord's Day (Rev. 1:10) - Sabbath (7th) or Sunday (1st) or Eschatological day or something else?

    Who is Jesus? Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Who is the Lord of the Sabbath? Matthew 12:8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. What is a command and a choice? There is no choice in command. When...

    Judgement not torture. Jesus was blunt - sin gets you death. God was blunt "you will surely die" if you eat the fruit. God is the Judge not a torturer. ..."the word of our God will stand forever." His Judgement is Eternal. Death. God's Eternal Grace is Life, while His Judgement is Eternal...

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

    I leave that up to you trinitarian buddies to assess. If it is not in the Scriptures, I won't be believing it soon. I know a good yarn when I hear it and yours is quite bad. Your reading of Hebrews 6:1-3 sees hell while I read judgement κρίματος. So where is the fire, torture chambers...

    Just a bit down from your itchy ears 2 Tim 4:4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Even your trinitarianism does not even conform with the Athanasian creed as you make your own rules as I recall (modalist interpretations I believe), not to mention...

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

    The verse was written in a more ancient language. Not english. Your sources are translations. The exegesis of the "Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges" is more objective and dependable than your understanding. Your critique is not credible. I believe we had a similar argument with your...

    Yes, I agree. Let the Holy Spirit separate the emotions - from those of the earth from those of the sea.

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

    I read it more bluntly. It also implies Jesus' ministry top of the priorities. Considerations of this world should not eclipse the instructions of the our God. The observance of hell comes from considerations of this world. Maintanence of a pious order. The Levites that slew the kinfolk...

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

    Poetry relates a truth. The truth is the Holy Spirit is described as an Unquenchable Fire. (baptism of Jesus by some of the Apostles - not all) God's decree is eternal, Only God can grant eternity. Hell and lake of fire are extraneous descriptors.

    Like I said before, the crux of the interpretations is the immortality of the soul. I reject it, you uphold it, your friend upholds it too. So seeing these things are proven and fundamental, all subsequent interpretaions will follow suit. It is inevitable. My prediction is that we will...
