I've always wanted one to carry. I want to carry it in a holster on my hip. And I want to wear a Stetson hat with boots. And a duster. And I want a horse. And I want bad guys to be afraid of me and run the other way. And my own theme music would be nice also. And the ladies faint when I...

I would like to encourage single believers. There is a very long list of necessary things one takes on when they are married that you don't have to worry about when single. Therefore... Being single is like being on vacation everyday! :love::cool::D:D I sometimes wonder if there is...

When I read this because of the context where he has been talking about persecution when family members will deliver one another up to be put to death, (vs 21...) and because of the immediate context about denying him before men (vs 32...) He is talking about what it means to be a true disciple...

A beginning thought as we discuss it. Before it was all over the tribe of Benjamin almost went extinct. So there is a lesson about Judgment and God intervening with judgment in the affairs of men even in this life. Also there is the prophecy in the blessing given by Jacob over his 12 sons...

Yes, I agree, but it seems to me that the blood was shed and the veil was torn when Jesus died. At that moment it was accepted. Jesus did not need to go and do these things after he died, what the writer of Hebrews is saying is that Jesus did these things by his sacrifice. The writer of...

My understanding so far is that it is a parable. It is mean to teach a lesson. The audience intended was for those Pharisees who considered others not as worthy of the kingdom of God as they were. They were coming up short and Jesus needed to show them why. In this parable he is using...

He goes straight to hell. There is no request for access. His request was for Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool his tongue. Abraham tells him no one can do that. There is a great Chasm. The conversation is about him getting what he deserved and the beggar being...

I haven't actually applied all the rules of hermeneutics to any of these topics that have been posted yet. I have been lazily chatting. I should take the time to list all of the common rules of hermeneutics and apply each one to one of these topics an show and example of a Bible College level...

You know we have people doing "deliverance Baptisms" today? I just heard about it going on locally. I don't endorse it I am just saying that I could see some people getting caught up in a fad of trying to baptize for the dead at that time. It would not mean that Paul was endorsing it. Maybe...

I now see where the barley offering idea is coming from. I don't see the necessity for Jesus to have to make this trip to heaven. If He is supposed to be the fulfillment of this Barley offering and first fruits, His resurrection accomplished that and the spiritual reality of it would be...

Why would Jesus go to hell when he was in the grave and preach the Gospel to those that were disobedient when the ark was preparing and let them live according to God in the spirit? Since that does not make sense it is probably because it is the wrong interpretation. That is why I am...

I don't see it. I don't see any hint of Abraham having a part in giving the beggar access or denying the rich man access to anything. The angels carried the beggar to Abrahams Bosom. The rich man simply dies and in hell he lifts up his eyes. The used to be rich man asks for a touch of water...

I don't see Abraham guarding the gate or there being a gate. The angels carried Lazarus to Abrahams Bosom, which was a seat at a banquet next to the Host. It was a symbolic representation of the inherited promises that the Jews looked for when they were to sit at the table with Abraham, Isaac...

Systematic Theology is simply a good method for learning what the bible says about the most important truths that God has revealed to us in the Story of Redemption leading to Jesus Christ and our mission as believers. But I do think it is important to be aware of artificial categories and...

I've always read it as those lost at sea. Like a way of describing the resurrection of all those bodies wherever they may be even in the ocean.

11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the...

So what you have done here is give a statement of an idea that you have. You have not shown what scriptures support this. I mean you have shown that you think that the statement that Jesus has the Keys of Hell means that he can release someone who is in the torment part of hell if He wants to...

Also immature. :)

This is immature rhetoric and does not support your idea that Jesus having the Keys of Hell means that people in hell get a second chance.
