    What about those who are judged according to their works? . . . "each person was judged according to what they had done"

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God [God-breathed], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I believed I agreed with you that apparent contradictions lie in our understanding . . . I am only to utilize the words of Jesus? What about the "whole of scripture" being God breathed?

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    Even "hell" ceases to exist . . . And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I will die but I have the assurance because Christ rose from the dead that I too will raise as did my Lord but NOT until He returns and raises me. :) Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last...

    Speaking in tongues

    Where did I say anything about anything being private? But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man (each one) for the common good. 1 Cor. 12:7

    Speaking in tongues

    I am speaking secrets with my heavenly Father (1 Cor. 14:2) and my spirit - the new creation - is edified. (1 Cor. 14:4).

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I believe I went into the context of John . . . Hebrew plainly states "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Isn't ALL scripture GOD breathed and would be authoritative? . . . and yes, if they do not agree it would lie in OUR understanding.

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    You will be judged - We all will be judged . . . . For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. . . .(2 Cor. 5:10) You have the promise of eternal life - YOU WILL DIE...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    Oh, I have!!! Lots of times!!!! Yes, it is written to the church - we aren't to worry about those who are "asleep" (DEAD) in Christ because they will be in the resurrection in the last day when the trump of God shall sound and the DEAD in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I don't see that definition here "the saved dead" for koimao . . . . So, when scripture says "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, . . . we don't REALLY die - it is just figurative? Jesus uses the analogy of sleep when speaking of death because we will WAKE up and our next conscious...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I didn't say that eternal life and eternal damnation are the same . . . YOU ARE! This is what I said - "eternal life - living forever . . . eternal damnation - the second death. These two are NOT the same. Even LIVING eternally damned is eternal life because they are still LIVING. Which is...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    You will "sleep" until Jesus wakes you up! Did Jesus "pull" Lazarus out of heaven when he brought him back to life, e.g. woke him up? Just so he could die again and go back? Bet Lazarus was a little disappointed to be brought back to life and pulled out of heaven . . . just saying :cool:

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    I know the difference in eternal life and eternal damnation . . . eternal life - living forever . . . eternal damnation - the second death. These two are NOT the same. Even LIVING eternally damned is eternal life because they are still LIVING. Which is basically saying EVERYONE gets...

    Speaking in tongues

    Yes, it is unfruitful to my mind because I do not understand what I am saying - but God understands what I am saying because it is my spirit communicating with him. (1 Cor. 14:2) It is fruitful in that it edifies me - (1 Cor. 14:4a) Roger, do you pray? Are there things in life that you ask...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    Some just don't want to believe that "dead" means "dead" - they want to give EVERYONE eternal life! When it is written: The wages of sin is DEATH, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL life. . . . and that GIFT is given ONLY to those who believe in Jesus Christ - not to Hitler, Dahmer, Ben Ladin...

    Speaking in tongues

    Nope, it is not unfruitful. Yep, God gave us his word to we would be able to know him. It is written: Speaking in tongues - edifies the individual (1 Cor. 14:4) and in a group, when interpreted, it edifies the church (1 Cor. 5b). The purpose of language is communication - It is written...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    So EVERYONE receives eternal life? Hitler, Dahmer, etc. . . . whether eternal life with God or eternal life in hell that is EVERYONE receiving eternal life . . . I thought only those who believed in our Lord Jesus Christ received eternal life . . . I thought the wages of sin were death and...

    The Heresy of Annihilationism

    How do I make this "jibe" with the men under the altar in heaven . . . I saw the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held . . . How did John SEE them? Rev. 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, to shew unto his servant things which must shortly...
