Does the bible actually say that they will be in their physical bodies? Or is this just the conclusion you draw from the fact they will be raised from their graves? For me this doesn't bring the conclusion that they will be in their physical bodies. As for Annihilationism is one step away from...

I have no idea what on earth you are saying here. Forgive me my ignorance. The idea of Freedom of Religion in the West came from Christians fighting for a 100 years about whether or not we should be Protestant or Catholic. Basically they decided this was a very silly idea and let people decide...

Many athletes now are giving up the high energy drinks because they were rotting their teeth, even with great dental habits.

Yeap, we should make everyone follow the state religion and drown all the baptists like Calvin did!

Don't be surprised if they start up. Isalm didn't have charities for a long time. However they observed Christian missions and determined that things like charities were a very good vehicle for sharing faith. So they started up various charities with the aim of spreading their faith. Recently...

I think there is a big difference between the two situations. With Mark, everybody knew what the situation was. Paul was there, Barnabas was there. If we need to trust someone again, they have to be open and real about the issues. If they aren't, how can you trust them? In the case you quoted...

So even though Jesus says, 'Satan' you are saying this isn't about Satan? Who is Satan, other than the opposer, or the adversary? Is there another? So rather than understanding it that the apostles are saying, 'wow the spirits obey us', and Jesus responds, I saw Satan - the leader of all them...

There is nothing to say that this vision of Revelation is in the future. It might be, but it might be something from the past as well. It doesn't account for the fact that Jesus saw Satan fall - luke 10:18. You've not made any comments on thsi passage. Why?

Not sure this is correct. There is no statement that satan was created less than man is there? Also this understanding doesn't account for Luke 18:10 - Satan fell from heaven. In Job 1 + 2. I wonder how a simple snake like creature can suddenly become a spiritual being in the heavenly realm? I...

You've quoted Matthew to prove how John uses a word. I don't think this is particularly valid. Especially when you compare 'eternal life' - which is stated as eternal life, and life - which is not stated as eternal life. Remember you are trying to prove that world, only means 'elect'. So here...

please do! I could do with a good laugh

What about the whole throwing your pearls before swine thing, should that help us decide if we need to go down this path?

This is quite wrong. For a start, if this was the goal, it failed Gen 6:4a (ESV) 'The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward' after what? The flood Also God says that his goal in the flood is to wipe out humanity, except Noah and his family Gen 6:7 (ESV)So the LORD said...

the thing I don't get with lobola, is that it drops with the number of kids!

Not sure about a physical body (1 Cor 15:42-44) ESV So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a...

Note the difference. In John 17, there is a word modifying life - eternal. Where is it John 6? So is there a difference? If John felt the need to specific one as eternal life, and the other merely as life I suspect he did that for a reason. Are you saying Adam gave life to all the world? Sounds...

Mental anguish can be pretty painful can't it? Ask someone who's spouse has just walked out on the for someone else, if pain is only physical. Ask a young child who's father has walked out on them, if pain is only physical.

But where does the passagae say it is spiritual life? that is the point. Later Jesus talks about eternal life, spiritual life, distinguishing it from life here.

Let me start by saying I'm very committed to local church. I worked as a pastor for 5 years - which also means I've been burnt by churches. I think that part of the problem, at least in many churches I know, is the pastors understanding of church. The church is the vision of the pastor! This...
