    lake of fire real or symbolic

    While the two places are not identical (and should be distinguished) they are inextricably connected. There is fiery torment in both, but eventually Hades will be eliminated and the Lake of Fire will be eternal. That's why Death and Hades (personified) will be cast into the Lake of Fire.

    lake of fire real or symbolic

    Yes, it is unfortunate that the KJV translators called Sheol the grave. But as Christ revealed to us graphically it is NOT the grave, but is Hades in the lower parts of the earth, where the unsaved are in a literal fiery place of torment. And in hell [Hades] he lift up his eyes, being in...

    lake of fire real or symbolic

    Why would it be symbolic if the Devil and his angels are not symbolic, but very real and very evil? Recently, there has been a huge push to dismiss Hell altogether.

    lake of fire real or symbolic

    For all practical purposes, Hades for the unsaved is simply a foretaste of the Lake of Fire. All those who are outside of Christ do end up in Hades, awaiting the Lake of Fire. That is why it is imperative that all men see that "Now is the day of salvation".

    lake of fire real or symbolic

    Typical cultic misrepresentation. Using Ecclesiastes to dis-establish New Testament truth, and ignoring all the teachings of Christ, and what happens to the dead after the resurrection of Christ..

    We have all been given our own talents/abilities

    Absolutely. Jealousy and envy are extremely destructive, but can affect Christians quite easily. Every believer has his or her own unique set of spiritual gifts and abilities. Unfortunately, many do not fully develop them and use them.

    The Vineyard

    I'm just fine. To ask whether Vineyard Christians are Christians is rather strange, since they are also evangelicals. They are definitely not a cult. As to the issue about the poll, what was stated is how can anyone take a genuine poll without getting to know the person. I called it a SHAM...

    Will any religion save your soul?

    Then that religion is FALSE, and that understanding of Scripture is FALSE. And all false religions and false teachings have their origin in the Father of Lies -- the Devil. Yes, the bodies, souls, and spirits of those who are not washed in the blood of the Lamb will be in the Lake of Fire with...

    Will any religion save your soul?

    If any religion could save a soul there would have been no need for the Lamb of God to shed His blood for our redemption, and offer Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sins. This is the point that every religionist must get through his head.

    Pre-trib Rapture is not scriptural

    This thread wandered off the topic a long time ago. This statement below is FALSE: Pre-trib Rapture is not scriptural. There is no connection between the Tribulation and the Rapture.

    The Vineyard

    Why would you ask? They are charismatic evangelical Christians.

    By conducting a SHAM POLL. Should that surprise anyone?

    Is Atheism A Religion?

    What James is speaking about is the good works which must follow salvation. That would be pure religion. But salvation itself is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Hence an invisible, eternal, and genuine relationship with the living God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Behold, I stand at the door...

    Bible Study Extra-marital Sex, Abortions, Living Together

    The real world would like at these issues as simply moral issues. The Bible would look at all issues as spiritual issues. Most societies would frown on these practices, even though they are not Christian.

    Bible Study Extra-marital Sex, Abortions, Living Together

    The common denominators are (1) separation from God, (2) applying human wisdom to spiritual problems, (3) choosing to sin rather than be righteous.

    Bible Study What Does It Mean To Walk In The Spirit.

    This does not preclude the study of the Scriptures. Indeed, it makes it imperative.

    Bible Study What Does It Mean To Walk In The Spirit.

    Scrivener's Textus Receptus 1894 ἡ ἀγάπη (agape) τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη. (agape). -- Romans 13:10 King James Bible Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. -- Romans 13:10

    REDEMPTION OF ISRAEL AT THE SECOND COMING

    Well, just to clarify, Paul is looking into the future prophetically, when Christ comes as the Deliverer out of Zion at His Second Coming. When that happens all the Jews worldwide (with the exception of some rebels) will be gathered to the land of Israel, and will acknowledge Jesus of Nazareth...
