Ecclesiastes 12:7before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Webers.Home claimed that the worms that do not have the image of God can be made immortal. He was trying to explain immortal demonic worms without tainting the Spirit of God...

Lazarus' name is Eleazar in hebrew which means "God has helped". So the narrative of Luke is 1) the archetypical friend of God - Abraham 2) the guy God helps - Lazarus 3) and a certain unnamed rich guy Looks like a real story to me!

New Jerusalem is about 1500 miles x 1500 miles. I figure heaven must be bigger. That is one big chest.

Chiasmus anyone? :) [97]The rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) A(16:19-21) 16:19 dined sumptuously each day.(16:19) (εὐφραινόμενος) B(16:22) 16:22 When the poor man died, he was carried away (16:22)" (ἀποθανεῖν) C(16:23) 16:23 saw Abraham far off (16:23) (ὁρᾷ)...

The Scriptures are very profound. It is not from a God seeking to punish the naked man, but it is a Divine Father who is asking him to put on some clothes. Cheers.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Once again, I nudge and say God is the Gifter and the Gift is the Christ. Thank the Gifter not the Gift. Never mistaken the Gift for the Gifter as it is rude and awkward in...

Maybe on the higher degrees of separation as the Tree can only be achieved by Jesus. On the first notion, this is a reminiscent of the rebuke of all of those proud in the Law that their behaviour counts Romans 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is...

There is no contradiction There is only one immortal soul. That is God. 1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. Here is a Scripture that is in direct to...

God resurrects Jesus Acts 13:30 But God raised him from the dead: We too can be resurrected Acts 13:37But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. premise A) We can be resurrected if we follow Jesus! So what brings us resurrection? Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth...

from OP "New argument for Jesus being God" post #101 and #104 I quote from 101 "...you think God created Adam full of decay & death, such that he had to keep eating from 'the antidote' daily lest he perish. the scripture does not support this. you need to ask yourself why Adam spent his time...

1) The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. Where is hell in the formula? What is worse eternal pain or eternal death? Why was this not intimated first and foremost. 2) The OT sheol has no capacity to accommodate a hell. The NT hell is eisegesis. Ecclesiastes 9. We will leave the NT...

Very good. You have described the Tree of Life. We are in agreement. But what interests me is what we disagree about with respect to the Tree in Eden. You say that one fruit will grant you immortality. I say it is contrary to what is written in the bible. So from where did this notion of...

Once again eisegesis. The interpretation is always influenced with the preconceived answer. To me 1) The wages of sin is death. 2) The OT sheol has no capacity to accommodate a hell. The NT hell is eisegesis. 3) There is no logical requirement for a hell. 4) The details of hell are...

First explain the Tree of Eternal Life. :-)

Eternal torment is unbiblical and fabricated with pagan notions and greek philosophies. It is said the concept of hell is indistingushable whether pagan or christian. With demonic worms, I think it is certainly more exotic. The only reason that I can arrive at is that the doctrine of hell is a...

Consider a dinner party. I want to go to a dinner party because the host is beautiful and there is free food. Some guy comes along and says that I am only going because the host will lock me up and torture me if don't go. If some guy is shading me fine, whatever. I am quite shallow about free...

Wow, it is like you are reading my mind. :-) Where is this concept found? The laws in any given universe is absolute or it would not be a rational universe. You are proposing theory of magic without the hard work of proof. It is the similar argument that atheists have for the problem of...

From your quoting of worms at volcanic vents, I assume that hell is a rational place in your reckoning. So how is this creature , full of DNA, immortal? After digesting the poor victim, his nerves and flesh, how is the victim reformed? How is his DNA reconstituted?

Luke 16:19-31 means in our common language, is "No backsies. Repent while you are alive, not to regret when you are about to be judged." Certainly not the doctrine of demonic worms. From fables to boogeymen, now magical vermes.

Thanks, will do.
