Again, Benoni, look up all the occurrences of "spirit" (ruach--Heb; pneuma--Gk) in the Bible and categorize them. Many times the "spirit" of God is spoken of, but it is not the Holy Spirit. Indeed, man is made in the image of God and after His likeness. (Gen. 1:26). The word for "image" in...

MY COMMENTS: Good questions, Orion. Are you interested in doing a word strudy on "spirit"? It takes work, but it is rewarding. I can give a short summary of my research, and hopefully you can do more research. Indeed, "the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his...

Greetings: Concerning the subject of "death," all Bible passages should be considered. In the OT we are told many times, that in the grave, there is no remembrance, no praise, no knowledge: Psa. 6:5 "For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who can give thee thanks?" AV...

Cybershark quote: "All believing saints (OT & NT) are not destined to spend eternity in Heaven but rather on the New Earth once the new Heavens and Earth are created, and even prior to that (although the timing of that depends on your eschatalogical POV) during the mellenial reign the promises...

MY COMMENTS: First of all, we must realize, Abraham is NOT promised a place in heaven. He was promised a number of things, but not to go to heaven. Thus: 1.) His offspring would be as un-countable as the stars in heaven (Gen. 15:5,6). He believed the Lord and the Lord reckoned it to him as...

MY COMMENTS: My fellow believers, you must research this to get to the truth! Joseph, the husband of Mary, was the son of Jacob (Matt. 1:16, "And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called Christ." AV). Then in Luke 3:23 we read, "And Jesus Himself began...

Hi "stranger". I believe describing "death" as "sleep" is a figure of speech, since as you suggest, when one is dead, it is if he were asleep; even though he wasn't. Death is the opposite of life. To me, A most amazing miracle is when God resurrects the "dead in Christ", and changes our...

Not me, for most controverses are based upon NOT "rightly dividing the Word of Truth."

Ya know, Matthew 24:14, I couldn't care less what the mark is that will be put on the hand or forehead of his followers in the Day of the Lord yet to come. Revelation is yet future as John writes in Rev. 1:10: where he tells us 'he was in spirit in the Lord's day (the day of the Lord--for John...

Hi Vic. I agree, the church 'age' has not ended. I understand this time is God's 'administration of Grace', within this present evil age (Gal. 1:4); and this age continues on until the tribulation and the coming again of Christ to the earth to establish His Messianic Kingdom, which is the age...

My Comments:Jesus said, "Iam the way, the truth, and the life." Now, whether anyone believes in him, has faith in him, or not....He is still 'The Truth.' God has left us a written record of His plans for the redemption of mankind. I believe we must study the Scriptures to know the trues He...

I believe it should be translated, "I tell you today (comma) you will be with me in the paradise." "Today" is literal, for Jesus said it that day, the day he was on the cross. Blessings, Bick

MY COMMENTS: Hi "JoJo". I can understand your questions, based upon the popular orthodox theology. First of all, Jesus was in the tomb three days and three nights, as he told the Pharisees (Matt.12:39). Thus, he couldn't be with the believing thief "in paradise" the day he was crucified...

I have a problem with this web sight. I log in OK, and always check to be automatically logged in. I start to work on a post, maybe taking an hour or two, then when I go to submit it, all my work disappears bcause I have been logged off without my knowing it! This has happened a number of...

I'm not familiar with the man's predictions, but if he has the Church/Body of Christ coming back to the earth with Christ after the Rapture, then he is wrong!

Excellent commentary, Paidion. And using an Interlinear Greek-English Tranlsation, such as by Dr. George Berry, one can readily see what you pointed out, that in Matthew 25:46 the word for "punishment" is indeed, "kolasin" in the Greek, the noun form of "kolasis." Thus, a literal translation...

I believe it starts with the pride and self-rule of man. If man is an atheist, then he doesn't have to answer for his deeds. As mankind goes on in unbelief, Satan, the god of this world, goes on blinding their minds (2 Cor.4:4).

Some scriptural differences between SOUL and SPIRIT: The spirit is related to the breath. "..The breath of the spirit of life.." (Gen.7:22, ASV and HNV; Job 27:3, 33:4, KJV etc;). The soul is related to the blood. "For the soul ["life" in AV] of the flesh is in the blood." "As to the soul...
