Exodus 12,40 is clear. They were in Egypt in 430 years: Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

Thanks for the reference. You are right. And I see also in the next verse: Rev 24,15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. That means that the ones who did not believe on Jesus, forever will be belong to damnation.

Do you have proof? I learned in my church that these are two words for the same place - just like "Heaven" and "The eternal Jerusalem" are two synonyms.

I guess you live in England or Australia? In Norway this is a very good advice indeed😄

To get baptized is like a confession - a statement, that you believe in this church's teaching. Look up the 10th chapter in the Romans. Ask me if you don't understand what I mean.

Hi. I have been learning Anscient Greek for about a year, and have found some interesting old Bible Manuscripts: - Codex Sinaiticus - Codex Vaticanus - Codex Alexandrinus Does anybody here know if these manuscripts are thrustworthy? And what about NA28? Which Bible verses could one check, and...

Can you please tell me your message in a simple way? I am a simple soul from a simple country. Still - I understand that you try to convey that there cannot be something the Father knows, and not the son. If that might be - how should my bibleverse be interpreted? And what is the difference...

I have questions about old texts, like codex Sinaiticus, Alexandrius and Vaticanus, but I will make a new post about it somewhere else on this forum.

I could gladly participate and search in the Bible to find the correct age, to prove archaeologists wrong, when they talk about millions of years old earth. And I could agree that christians might be persecuted in the coming years, for their belief, which would be a sign of that the Judgement...

That is not what I was told in my church. They teached me about the water baptism.

Say that God told us these six first days were normal days, but actually they were tousands of years? Then it would make God a liar. But God is not a liar. Ergo: It must be exactly what he said - six normal days, and the Earth is about 6000 years old. And, yes, Moses wrote down the first five...

Good point - if The Bible was one book, written by one Person. But - it is not. The word "biblia" means "books", and The Bible is a collection of a lot of different types of books and scriptures. Still - if someone doubts The Bible is God's word, then they would (of course) rather listen to...

How do you know it is the baptism of fire? I am sure he means the baptism of John - the baptism of water.

My pleasure. There are many. Here is a few: Job 26:6 - “Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.” Matthew 23:33 - “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell? Luke 10:15 - “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust...

With all due respect. Is this what Jesus says - "only believe, and don't bother getting baptized"? No. He says: Mark 16,16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved Do someone call themselves a true christian, when they haven't gotten themselves baptized in a true church? No.

I believe your first point here is the right one (that water baptism is needed), and my proof is here.

If John's baptism was without power, and "worthless", then why did Jesus show his example, and got the baptism himself? And about those who clearly were saved before they got baptized - why get the baptism, when you are saved? Because Jesus told them to. We don't understand everything, but hear...

This is the truth, right here, from this conversationstarter. Can anybody tell me why this man were banned, and why someone on this forum thinks that there is no need for baptism?

The problem with this question is "if Hell exists (...)". The Bible itself says it exists, and that the wicked will be punished there for eternity. That is the truth. More details than that it is terrible down there, is good enough for me.
