    The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached !

    MY COMMENTS: The key is reading carefully the 13th verse of Matt. 24: "But he that shall endure to the end shall be saved," AV. "Gospel." as we know, means "good news." Just because it is translated "gospel" doesn't mean it is the Good News that Christ died for the sins of the world. To...

    The Soul at Death

    As to the "spirit of man" being "that part of man which never dies", let us look to the Scriptures for truth. "Spirit" is from "ruach" in Hebrew, and "pneuma" in Greek Concerning the meaning of "spirit", it is decuced from its usage. The one root idea running through all the passages is...

    The Soul at Death

    Is the soul immortal? Not acording to many scriptures: The word translated "soul" is from "nephesh" in Hebrew; and "psuche" in Greek. Lev. 19:28 "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead (soul--Hebrew)." 24:17 "And he that killeth any man (soul) shall surely be...

    Third Heaven

    Personally, I believe Paul was "caught away" (from the Greek) to the third heaven in time. Peter sets it forth in 2 Peter 3:5-7, "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water: whereby the...

    God's Everlasting Breath of Life

    Hi ugmug. I certainly agree with the quote below: "The key to reading and understanding the bible is to see that every word, sentence, paragraph, and chapter point to one reality, that man needs the savior Jesus Christ to redeem him from his sins." But from the Scriptures I believe the...

    Will the Holy Spirit be removed from the earth,as in 2Thess2v7.

    MY COMMENTS: Looking at chapt.2 of 2 Thes. at the context, Paul is reminding the Church at Thessalonian what he told them in his first letter to them, that we who are alive when Christ calls from the air, will not precede the dead in Christ. You see, they were upset at the false teaching that...

    The Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached !

    MY COMMENTS: I certainly believe in God's sovereignty, that His plans and purposes for the ages will indeed be accomplished, when Christ is exalted and every knee will willingly bow and every tongue openly confess that He is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:9-11), and all will be...

    Is the Mark of the Beast Forgivable?

    MY COMMENTS: In John 1:29, John the Baptist declares "Behold, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." RSV. John 3:17 in the RSV reads, "For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world would be save through him." And 2 Cor. 5:19 makes it so...

    Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?

    . MY COMMENTS: Of course, It is God through Christ who saves to the uttermost. Jesus emphasized this to his disciples in Matt.19:24-26, when he said "It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And when the disciples...

    3 Main Teachings of Matt Slick - CARM

    MY COMMENTS: I believe Matt Slick is wrong on all three counts. I say this based upon my understanding of the Scriptures (as literal as possible).

    Does God exist if most people go to hell?

    MY COMMENTS: To my fellow Christian believers: I was raised with the traditional doctrine of "eternal punishment in hell for the wicked," as a youth, but in my late twenties I was shown by a learned pastor/teacher how to use a complete concordance, such as Young's, and other tools. I came to...

    Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?

    MY COMMENTS: Yes, being able to read as literal a translation is SO important; some which are available are: Young's Literal Translation; Rotherham's Emphasized Bible; The Emphatic Diaglott; and The Concordant Version of the New Testament. It is unfortunate that the compilers of the AV...

    Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?

    MY COMMENTS: I guess it really comes down to this: is man's will greater than God's? When we read that "God so loves the world.." does that mean that though He loves the world, He is limited to draw all to Him? If that were true, what does this verse mean, "And I, if I be lifted up from the...

    Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?

    Yes, I read it. And let us quote the whole passage from the NASB: "...Sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in THIS AGE OR IN THE AGE TO COME."...

    Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?

    I think it is important to put the sacrifice of Christ in its true perspective: Christ died for the sins of the world. John 1:29 "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." 2 Cor. 5:19 "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning unto them their...

    Misunderstood by modern Christendom.

    To me, the Matthew 1:25 verse couldn't be any clearer, "And he knew her not until she had brought forth a son, and he called his name Jesus." Mary was not a perpetual virgin. Mark 6:3 further clarifies it: "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and...

    Heaven

    It is too bad that the literal rending of the phrase "kingdom of heaven" is not used. In Matthew, the first of the Gospels, as set forth in his Interlinear Greek-English New Testament, Dr. George Berry correctly translates it as "the kingdom of the heavens." Daniel put it this way in...

    Angels

    Having gone through a thorough study of "angels" and "spirit beings", I'm convinced that the word "angel" is merely an Anglosized rendention of the Greek, "aggelos" which is pronounced "angelos" when two "g's" (gammas) are together. As others have pointed out, "aggelos" means "messenger", and...

    Your thoughts on the Trinity?

    INdeed, the doctrine of the Trinity is difficult to understand. It would seem that you believe in the Father and the Son, and must believe there is a Holy Spirit (that is a set-apart, special Spirit, for there are many verses referring to the Holy Spirit. And, there are many verses...
