What Job was saying is that his body -- his corpse -- would *sleep* in the dust. But that would apply to the body. What about his soul and spirit? They would be in Sheol/Hades until his resurrection. And he was confident that he would see God. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that He...

ABSOLUTELY. Provided that person is in Christ. Every genuine believer knows that they are saved, because of the witness of the indwelling Holy Spirit. So that statement is invalid.

1. We also have the example of Lot and his family (minus his sons-in-law). Lot is presented as a righteous man in Scripture (even though his choices were unrighteous). In any event God sent angels to literally drag Lot, his wife, and daughters out of Sodom just before God rained down His...

In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile. You should have posted the preceding verses: 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek [Gentile], there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one...

You are not paying any attention to what has been posted about the afterlife. Chances are you will continue to hold on to your false beliefs no matter what. Which is unfortunate.

It is not a *theology* but a Bible truth that has been around since the time of Job (or even earlier). For Christians (children of God) physical death is the doorway to Heaven. However, for the unsaved it is the doorway to Hades. Please be aware that the cultists will promote the false doctrine...

My comment was regarding Christian baptism. It is not essential for salvation since salvation (justification) is by grace through faith. However, it is absolutely essential for those who have been saved, and in Scripture conversion and baptism are very closely tied together, and one followed the...

Right. "I used to be a pretribber... until I starting believing all the propaganda". There is a lot of anti-Pretribulation Rapture propaganda, since Satan hates the idea that believers are not subject to God's wrath (which he is).

One does not need to over think this. Sin is anything and everything that is in violation of God's character and His laws. It includes violation of one's conscience also, since the Law is embedded in the conscience. The Bible says that (1) sin is the transgression (violation) of the Law and (2)...

And a few other cults.

The question was not about denominationalism (and I agree with what you said). The question was a blanket question about denominations, and you can't simply say they are evil. They have many evils within them. They also have the children of God within them.

Those two prophets were NOT hermits. There is no need to misrepresent them.

With all due respect, when people have multiple personalities, demons are clearly involved. You can ignore that is you wish, but the truth should not be avoided.

Baptists and Anabaptists were not within the Reformed tradition. Indeed they were opposed and persecuted by the Reformers. However, many decided to try and mix oil and water, so there are now Reformed Baptist churches. Yet they do not adhere strictly to the teachings of the Reformed or...

That is not a valid question at all. It's like asking if Christianity is evil. Of course, Islam would be happy to say "Yes". So let's get down to some facts rather than speculate. 1. God and Christ never intended for Christianity to be split into warring groups. 2. Satan planted the seeds of...

John the Baptizer was no hermit. You are confusing him with some other person. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. The crowds which came to John must have been huge. The...

Christians who wish to isolate themselves (just like monks and hermits) should remember that that is contrary to the Gospel and what Christians are supposed to do while on earth. And yes, Nature does not favor the foolhardy.

That's probably because you want Ferraris. Get a Focus.:cool:

There is no need to troll to promote the Soul Sleep doctrine. If your wish to hang on to your false doctrines, you are free to do so. Just don't try to promote them. Since you want to see one Scripture passage which CONTRADICTS your belief, here it is: 2 CORINTHIANS 5: EVERY BELIEVER WILL BE...

As long as it is the Church Age, the Gospel must be preached to both Jews and Gentiles. But AFTER the second coming of Christ, there is a Plan A for the Jews. Obviously you have not bothered to check it out. ROMANS 11 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery...
