Great Post here! http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?threads/lets-talk-about-heaven.32466/page-7#post-522136

The scriptures paint Heaven as an actual real abode for certain, but, does not promise it to all believers..... http://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?threads/lets-talk-about-heaven.32466/

If you "go somewhere" after you die, what is the significance of the resurrection? Really think about that. The hope the Bible speaks of is a resurrection to life! It starts in the old testament and is echoed throughout the scriptures all the way to Revelation! Jesus says himself, "I shall raise...

According to scripture Heaven is depicted as a real place or abode. Hell on the other hand, is a bit more complex. First, hell is a translation nightmare has it takes four words with distinct meanings and lumps them together for NO REASON at all. From Gehenna to Sheol, and from Tartarus to...

My contention is that in the scriptures, the "indwelling" of the HS produced unmistakable evidences beyond that mentioned in the passage that speaks of the fruit of the spirit. Examples include: Acts 2:5-8 Mark 16:17-18 Acts 8:13-18 The spirit was said to be poured out during the last days...

What this guy said is very striking. It is my belief that scripture speaks of multiple resurrections (NOT REINCARNATION), some in the past, and at least one more in the future. See John 5:28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear...

Love and faith are mutually exclusive. A life of love and "good" behavior can be lived by a person of another faith or a person with no faith at all. My contention is that in the scriptures, the "indwelling" of the HS produced unmistakable evidences beyond that mentioned in the passage that...

The belief is based on scripture WIP. John 5 and Ephesians 4 for starters.

I personally am persuaded that if a person was truly filled with the SPIRIT OF THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE there would be something remarkable, special, and observable about them that revealed this. The guys in the Bible that were full of the Spirit worked miracles, foretold the future, spoke in and...

What this guy said. It is my belief that scripture speaks of multiple resurrections (NOT REINCARNATION), some in the past, and at least one more in the future. I believe the "1st Resurrection" written about in Revelation has already transpired and that it was the saints of the 1st century and...

If it's okay to simply this to terms simpletons like myself can address, I'd focus on the question of: Why should we be good? There are a number of reasons why it's accepted that people ought to be good with perhaps the chief reason being the pressures and expectations of the society in which...

If God is indeed the creator of all that is the the answer is of course yes. Take caution, however, on how you label these creations. You described the bacteria as harmful, but that may not be the case. What's harmful for us may be beneficial elsewhere in creation. We must be careful not to only...

Interesting thread. It discusses some of the very issues I presented in another thread that a friend of mine and I were going back and forward over.

Thanks for the response guys. I appreciate the input. What I'd like to do is take the advice given and show how the Bible prophetically speaks in a way that validates it as truly special. Are there some specific prophecies that anyone would suggest I mention that are definitive and pretty...

That's what's so perplexing about my friend. He initially seemed to accept the Lord, and was jealously excited (as most new believers are). In some ways he reminds me of the parable of the sower where the seed was sown among the thorns. He is still very "spiritual", but now seems convinced that...

As I look at the responses and pray in my heart the answer that is flashing in my mind is that in order to gain any credible belief in deity, one would need that deity to supernaturally and personally reveal itself to the seeker. In other words, as proclaimer of the gospel, we should understand...

For a while now I have been working with a young man in college who is going through some spiritual trials and uncertainty. He doesn't have much of a background in faith and we hooked up a while ago when I discovered that he could really use a listening ear. For a couple months he would come to...

Before we attempt to prove a negative (e.i. - souls are NOT eternal), we would do well to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that souls ARE in fact innately eternal. What scriptures support the idea that all souls possess immortality?

A disproportionate percentage of their history was spent under the influence or within the captivity of heathen nations that forced the children of Israel to witness and/or participate in ungodly ways.
