New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
Hi cybershark. Let us examine some of the differences between "spirit" and "soul." Starting with "spirit": the Hebrew word is "ruach", and the Greek word is "pneuma." The words can also mean "wind" depending on the context. As I have shown earlier, the words for "soul" are different, being... -

New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
MY COMMENTS: I know what you mean, Veritas. And I hope I haven't given the impression that understanding the makeup of man (body, soul and spirit) is a simple thing. Man being made in the image of God, after his likness, is mind boggling. But, do we just go along with the popular orthodoxy... -

New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
Hi cybershark. You know, I think a major cause of the confusion concerning this subject, is the idea, the preaching-teaching of "the saving of the soul", as if it were a separate entity that exists in man, an entitiy that has a body and all its senses, just like the whole man: for in messages... -

New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
MY COMMENTS: Yes, Joe, I too am encouraged from Paul's words, that even with all the persecutions he and his fellow apostles have been through, they faint not and though their outward man is perishing, their inward man is being renewed day by day. And so all in the church/body may have light... -

New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
by mutzrein on Tue May 19, 2009 12:35 am I'm wondering of you guys give any credence, in all of this, to the reason that Jesus came. He came that man might have eternal life. So what do you think was the difference in the eternality of man before and after Christ. Relevant? And what of the... -

New possible enlightenment on the "eternality" of the soul
Wow! You've done some thinking and have a lot of questions. To fully understand "soul" and "spirit" takes a lot of study, looking up all the passages where they are used, and studying the contexts as well. Commentaries might be of some help, but, personally, I have found them to be biased by... -

The Seven of the Ten Hills of Rome
Hi Precepts. When in Revelation it speaks of Jerusalem, do we not take it as literal? Therefore, when It speaks of Babylon, it too should be taken literally. True, there is no city of Babylon as described in Revelation, but Revelation is all future, in the "Lord's day", that is, the "day of... -

Bible Study The Unforgivable Sin?
There are no "unforgivable sins". John the baptiser proclaims "Behold! the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" upon seeing Jesus the next day after he baptized Jesus. KJV. Isaiah prophecies in 53:6, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, and...- Bick

The biblical meaning of Hell
MY COMMENTS: It is strange how "hell" has come to mean basically, " a place of fire and torment", in so many English versions of the Bible. From Appendix 131 in The Companion Bible, by E.W. Bullinger: " 'Hell' is the English rendering of two different Greek words in the N.T. The English... -

Is the lake of fire eternal?
Good points, Bubba. It is so important for students of the Word to use a Concordance, Lexicon and other tools to get to the truth. By their usage it can be shown that "aion" in the Greek (translated "ever" in most versions) is not the synonym of "eternity." The noun, "Aion", means an unknown... -

The KJV bible is the only bible that is worth reading.
Further, I would encourage all Bible students to use all the tools possible, especially a complete concordance, such as Strong's or Young's. I have found that only through finding the literal meaning, from a concordance or lexicon, can I then more fully understand God's Revelation, the Holy... -

The KJV bible is the only bible that is worth reading.
I think it is most important to know that though there are versions which are based upon, say, the Wescott and Hort Greek Text as well as the Textus Receptus, learned Theologians have stated that positively, "while there may be a measure of uncertainty in defining the exact wording of any Greek... -

Meaning of life, of humans.
MY COMMENTS: Some good questions, diviana, and, in my opinion traditional theology doesn't have the answer. According to the popular theology, Satan, though winding up in the lake of fire, seemingly gets the last laugh, for he has 'won' the great majority of mankind to his side. But, that is... -

What 1 Tim 1:4 really says ?
MY COMMENTS: True, in the Greek it is "OIKONOMIA" which literally means "house rule." IMO, "dispensation" is a poor translation; "administration" is the word that should be used here. A translation from the Concordant Literal NT is: "..you should be charging some not to be teaching... -

Baptized by Holy Spirit
MY COMMENTS: The first thing the "tongues people" do is misunderstand and misquote the Scriptures. The correct rendering for a number of scriptures should be "baptize in water'" and "baptize in the Holy Spirit." NOT "with" or 'by". Please verify this by a concordance. So, what happened at... -

Rapture Survey for CFnetians
MY COMMENTS: My goodness no, Bonnie. We are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any one should boast, Quoting Ephesians 2:8,9. Our views of the rapture will not affect our salvation. And once we have believed we are indwelt by the... -

Rapture Survey for CFnetians
MY COMMENTS: Well, polls are interesting, but they don't decide the truth. Biblical truth must come from a careful strudy of the Bible, using as literal translation as possible, and following standard rules of exegesis. The church/body is not appointed to wrath (Rom.5:9; 1 Thes.1:10, 5:9)... -

What Bible did Jesus Read from?
Yes, it had to be the Hebrew Scriptures. Some scholars believe Jesus quoted from the Septuagint, the Hebrew Scriptures translated into Greek. Seems logical to me. -

Signs from God or Omens?
MY COMMENTS: I was thinking about your question again. Actually "omen" is a synonym for "sign". "Omen" by itself is not evil. There can be good omens and bad omens. Where did you here that "omens" are wrong and forbidden?
