    Summing up “the soul of man”

    Continuing: yes, "aidios" is usually translated "eternal." I have one version where it is rendered "imperceptible". Too many places in most English Versions, "world" is used for "aion" instead of "age" which adds to the confusion. As you know, "kosmos" is the word for "world." Again, take...

    Summing up “the soul of man”

    Consider the Greek scriptures: Regardless of how the "scholars" render "aion" and "aionios, by their usage they should be rendered "age" and "age lasting" or "age during." Ref: Young's Literal Translation, Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, Wilson's Emphatic Diaglott ànd the Concordant Version of...

    Summing up “the soul of man”

    Thank you for your input, Chopper. Maybe you are aware that "the usage of a word determines its meaning." If we take a KJV bible and read all the verses where any of the three time words are used, we will find that subject (s) in practically all cases, do not exist "for ever." Such as: the...

    Summing up “the soul of man”

    May I enter in? Believe it or not, there is no word in the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures that literally means "eternal", "forever", or "everlasting. The words are used by those scholars with preconceived beliefs in the immortality of man and "conscious eternal torment" for the lost. For instance...

    Summing up “the soul of man”

    I'm just getting into this, lf that is allright. First of all, it is important that the Scriptures, as literal as possible, be used, such as Young's Literal Translation or Rotherham's Emphasized Translation, be the final word. Let's start with "Gehenna." It was referred to by Jesus when...

    Why is the NT in Greek?

    Think about this: Jesus lived in the Roman Kingdom in which the Greek language was dominant. While there was a "high" Greek, "koine" (common Greek) was spoken all over the empire. It is a highly developed language that God used in the writing of the New Testament. As for Jesus speaking only...

    Are some people destined for hell?

    As for certain sins not be forgiven, please read 2 Cor. 5:19 "...God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation." NKJV' Christ sacrifice paid for the sins of all mankind.

    WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

    You covered a lot of ground, Vengaturreino, but didn't address the difference between "the kingdom of heaven" (literally, from the Greek, "the kingdom of the heavens") and "the kingdom of God." Matthew, seemingly written with the Jew in mind and with Jesus, "the branch" as a king, speaks of or...

    Bible Study What fruit do you think the Tree of Life produced?

    Since the bible doesn't say, it seems a waste of time to speculate. All we read is "the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desireable for gaining wisdom.." NIV

    Growth “Ye Are Complete In Him”

    AMEN ! What a blessing to know that we are "Complete in Him." And that God our Father sees us (the old man-Adam) immersed into Christ's death, entombed and raised with Christ, seated in the heavenlies, Ref: Rom. 6:1-10; and Eph. 2"6-7, where we will be witnessing to the spirit beings...

    Bible Study What Happens when People Die ?

    Right, Timothy W. The cure for death is resurrection. Certainly, in God's mind, He knows all who die, and when and where they will be resurrected. Some to glory and blessings, others to face judgment as unbelievers.

    Bible Study What Happens when People Die ?

    My Reply: Actually "the great gulf fixed" is from parables and stories invented by the Rabbins concerning man's soul upon death. Some of the strange accounts they set forth are to be found in the comments on Luke by Bisop John Lightfoot. This can be found by going to "Studylight.org" web site...

    Bible Study What Happens when People Die ?

    Greetings Chopper. Concerning the account of the rich man and Lazarus: if that is to be interpreted as literal, then, according to Jesus, one must be born again to see the kingdom of God: when does it say the poor beggar was born again? And, how could Abraham be alive when Jesus agreed with...

    Bible Study What Happens when People Die ?

    Yes, "it is appointed for men to die once and after this judgment" but it doesn't say that judgment was immediately when men die. Also, we know of some men in the Bible who died, were resurrected, and obviously died a second time. For instance: Jesus raised many from the dead during His earthly...

    Bible Study What Happens when People Die ?

    "All people who have died are now in a temporal state between their past life on earth and their future resurrection to life on earth or condemnation in the lake of fire (see Rev 20:15)." And many others. My Response: If what you say is true, what do these verses mean? Gen. 2:7 "And the...

    Bible Study How Many Judgments Are There?

    Quote "When Judgement Day occurs, all souls will be judged, and the damned go into the final lake of fire (Gehenna) along with Satan and his demonic minions. In the meantime, when a person dies aren't they "immediately" judged and if damned sent to the current hell (Sheol, also called Hades)? I...

    Bible Study Die And Go To Heaven

    "I heard someone say on the forum, (I forget who) who said that when we die we immediately go to heaven. Is this statement true?" Angel's quote. It is my belief from the Scriptures (the final word for truth), that when we die, we have ceased from all life, but will be made alive (if...
