2 Peter 1:21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
We read of a dispute between the prophet Micaiah and four hundred prophets of Israel in 1 Kings 22.
1 Kings 22:1-26
1 And they continued three years without war...
Need to study on it as even the Jews admit its origin and use was picked up and come in from there. "The word "paradise" is probably of Persian origin. It occurs but three times in the Old Testament, namely, in Cant. iv. 13, Eccl. ii. 5, and Neh. ii. 8. In the first of these passages it means...
Well how do you read these verses..
Luke 17:29
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
2 Peter 2:6
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those...
We have the overriding and core principle that Christ gives us, which is to love one another, so how should we apply it in dealing people that seem a bit zealous in their religious views or actions. So when someone is taking a very zealous view or extreme some may say of a what one eats such as...
And where was the thief, still on the cross and where was Christ, we see that Christ did not go to heaven when He died but not until after the resurrection.
John 20:16-17
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto...
...Looking at the original language words in the Bible, we see something very important....something that tells us that Christendom’s adherents have been fed lies about what the “soul” and the “spirit” actually are.
We have to remember that Jesus was Jewish and that the ancient Jews (as opposed...
Here is a great explanation in answer to some of these questions I came across from one of the brethren..
"Contrary to popular belief, there is no teaching of an immortal soul that leaves the body at death in the Bible at all....that belief was adopted from the Platonic Greeks, not from anything...
Now some say but what about what Christ said to the thief on the cross as many cite this as a reason to believe that we go immediately to heaven or hell following death:
Luke 23:42-43 - And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I...
Then in the New Testament we see more of the same:
Matthew 9:24 - He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Matthew 27:52-53 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after...
Lets begin with how the word is used in the Bible:
In Jeremiah 31:26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me. Also in Daniel 2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake...
Soul sleep is the teaching that when a person dies, his soul "sleeps" or the denial of man's conscious existence between when he dies and the resurrection day. It's what is called the intermediate state of the believer, in which both the body and the soul lay rest in the ground and the phrase...
What does the Bible show us? It shows that it certainly is. In God's final warning messages to the world we find a call to worship the Creator.
Revelation 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and...
But you have to remember, God decides who is the elect, not man, as we have many who claim they follow Christ, yet continue fully in sin and iniquity..
