In response to Acts 2 when Peter said David is in his tomb (2:29) and that David didn't ascend to heaven (2:34) You said, "David was also in Paradise, because Jesus had not been ascended yet. David is now in heaven." You're saying, at the time of Pentecost when Peter is speaking Acts 2, that...

Acts 2 when Peter is speaking is on the day of Pentecost which is 50 days AFTER Christ ascended, are you kidding me? Did you seriously just blindly/knee jerk reaction with response to what I said injecting your own thoughts to try and "do away" with a verse that contradicts your theology...

Let's say Christ rose from the dead in AD30 on First Fruits, 50 days later on Pentecost would be Acts 2. That means when Peter was speaking the words we see recorded in Acts 2, all the dead up until the time in which Peter spoke (including David) didn't ascend to heaven and were in their grave...

If Jesus is the only one who came down from heaven and is the only one who ascended to heaven, then how can anyone else but Jesus be in heaven (not including angelic beings and the Father). John 3:13 No on has ascended to heaven BUT he who came down from heaven, THAT IS, the Son of man who is...

Oh you mean like this intricately interconnected unlike any text: Soul sleep? Sure. Job 14:10-12 10 But man dies and [a]is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he? 11 As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up, 12 So man lies down and does not...

I admit there is eternal life....... in the resurrection There is no contraction. I compared 2 passages within the same book and demonstrated how translators translate the same word into soul and life. If you translate them consistently; there is no confusion. It's not manipulation; I'm not...

I didn't respond to these, because Goliath having 4 brothers has nothing to do with the parable rich man and Lazarus, however Jesus speaking to the Pharisees who were Levites, and the fact that Levite had 5 brothers is relevant to Jesus using it in the parable. Not to mention everything the...

First let's deal with the word hell; where else did Jesus use this word, and when are the wicked tossed there? This isn't the same word as hades/shoel/grave/pit, it's a proper noun, it' s place. Mat 10:28 AndG2532 fearG5399 notG3361 (G575) them which killG615 theG3588 body,G4983 butG1161 are...

Exactly!! This is what Paul said about physical death: 2 Cor 5:6-8 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present...

Without me explaining anything. Let's use your evaluation that believers go to heaven immediately upon death, which means what. That means every believer of the past right now would be in heaven correct (Abraham, Isaac, Daniel, David, so on and so on)? Please fit that thought with this: John...

Who is Jesus, a Jew. Who is Jesus audience, Jews. Who is Jesus specially addressing in the parable, the Levitical priesthood (Pharisees). What scriptures did all Jews have during Jesus's day, the OT. 14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they...

You're getting hung up on the word "New" to think that means fresh off the factory line; it means to restore. Isaiah 51:3 καὶ σὲ νῦν παρακαλέσω Σιων καὶ παρεκάλεσα πάντα τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς καὶ θήσω τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς ὡς παράδεισον G3857 κυρίου εὐφροσύνην καὶ ἀγαλλίαμα εὑρήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ ἐξομολόγησιν...

You mean these two resurrections? First/second Rev 20 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not...

You're right day and night is specific amount of time it is limited to 24 hours. You can have day and night, for 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 100 years, 1000 years, even a million years. But day and night doesn't = infinity. aion aion (Greek) or olam olam (Hebrew) doesn't mean an infinite amount...

Let me add this because I don't know what you do or don't know. There are two resurrections. First are the believers who will then be given their rewards (each judged accordingly) and the second (each judged accordingly. All those wicked who have died since Adam, remain dead until the second...

Cannot honestly have a open and good discussion on the Bible without getting in depth, sorry if it's long, but it's kinda of necessary. Let me give it one more shot: If you are writing in English and you want to convey to the reader that the thief on the cross was going to be in Paradise on...

You want a verse that demonstrates soul sleep? Sure. Job 14:10-12 10 But man dies and [a]is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he? 11 As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up, 12 So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no...

You know what is great about living in modern times, we don't have to base our understanding of words on the thoughts of others. We can use bible programs to see how words are used, so that we have a proper understanding. Please tell me when did Adam become a soul, was it before the breath of...

On top of what I said in my last post, what is the context of the statement the thief said to Jesus? Luke 23:39-43 39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, [a]“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” 40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you...

What is the hope of the promise to Fathers made by God? What is the hope of the promise to Israel? What is the hope of the promise to the Son? What is the hope of the promise to all those who believe in the Son? The point of all that I posted was to get on the same page that the HOPE of the...
