I am kind of thinking that God the father's life spirit or breath of life spirit is the Holy Spirit and thus there would be no separate Holy Spirit if God didn't separate it from himself to add it to someone else. The same as we are not, us and our spirit and now since our salvation, us and our...

If free will was the only means of living our lives God would not have been able to determine who would be saved even before he created the world. Thus I happen to believe in both destiny and free will. The explanation of how this can be is a little long, but here goes. Before God created the...

I am an annihilationist, but not a cultist. I still claim my baptist background, but reject their eternal punishment doctrine. The main reason for my belief is in the OT and it is not a fuzzy picture in Isaiah 66:23-24 which takes place after the judgment. [Isaiah 66:23-24 (23 From one New...

I forgot to mention that in both of my posts above, the verses come for the New International Version (NIV) bible.

Add to this 2 Corinthians 12:9 (But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.) We show weakness in not fighting back which allows God to show...

God is directing us. Proverbs 16:9 (In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.) 20:24 (A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand their own way?) Jeremiah 10:23 (Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not...

Your King James bible is using the wrong usage for the Greek word diaseisēte, which means to shake down. The only thing that is being imparted is an admonition not to steal by force. The New King James bible got it right. Luke 3:14 (Then some soldiers also asked him, “Andas for us—what should...

The police and military are acting on God's behalf and are therefore "instructed" to use force to contain evil. [Romans 13:4 (For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents...

I also had a crush on Mary Ann and she still looks good.

It still looks like the evil people will be dead in the Lake of Fire (Hell), and only Satan, the false prophet, the beast and those who took the mark of the beast or worshiped him will be tormented forever. All others must have died or else who would the dead bodies (corpses in some versions)...

Thank you Karraster. I've written the references in my notes. Now if I can find them again when needed.LOL Nehemiah6, In the OT the phrase, "not be quenched", is used for the fire of the Lake of Fire in Isaiah 66:24 and for the Lord's anger that will be against Juda and Jerusalem in Jeremiah...

He sort of did. [Psalm 37:20 (But the wicked will perish: Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.)] (This verse and the above verse in post #477 are both from the New International Version bible) It says to me that they...

You need to remember that inanimate objects can get stained, so to speak, by the sins of those living in or near them. That is one reason why murderers were to be killed. [Numbers 35:33-34 (33 “‘Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land,and atonement cannot be made for...

Thank you for the picture, but I have to admit, she doesn't look as good as I remember. Maybe just a bad picture.

I'm glad you got "bewitched" by a beautiful lady.

You may be too young to remember her, but I had a crush on Karen Valentine of Room 222. She almost looks sickly now, but back then she was super attractive. I think the eyes got me the most. Big and upswept.

There is no need to limit eternal punishment. The eternal punishment does not have to be pain, but is definitely no future life.

I ask Ahwatukee to look at the last verse in Isaiah chapter 66 and tell me where the dead came from, if not the evil people that are thrown in there? They are dead and the dead are unfeeling.

I forgot to mention that not all will be resurrected. Daniel 12:2 says that many, not all, will be brought out of the dust.

If people were going to be tormented forever they would not die. Isaiah 66:24 says we will see dead bodies or carcasses in the lake of Fire. It doesn't use the term Lake of Fire, but the description is the same. Also the term unquenchable fire, used for the fire in the Lake of Fire, is also...
