Okay, no one who believes that hell is not real has not answered the questions.

Why does Jesus call it a PLACE
Why does Jesus say in this PLACE their is TORMENT such as Gnashing of teeth
Why does Jesus even tell a story about someone being in a place of TORMENT called HELL
what is Jesus talking about when he says:

Mark 9:43-44
43 And if thy hand…[Read more]

You know Miia

You remind me of this wonderful woman who used to post to these forums my Spirit tells me you may be that person either way it’s good to know you are okay and as loving as ever.

(Our religion is) the Baptism of Allah: And who can baptize better than Allah? And it is He Whom we worship.

This can be addressed in the other religions section of the site if you choose

regarding hell being eternal let’s just honestly look at that:

Jesus says regarding people in the afterlife:

Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

Now Jesus says:

Matthew 23:15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a…[Read more]

This is what T8 wrote:

Jesus dealt with sin once and for all. Not just each individual sin that was temporarily covered through the shedding of the blood of animals, but sin fullstop.

First I will talk about what you just wrote and then I will address the hell issue:

You say sin has been dealt with once and for all and yet you are told to pray…[Read more]

Please consider the fact that I am willing to accept being wrong if it can be shown, can you do the same? Let’s both vow to be honest and examine these things openly, being prepared to accept what we find, okay?

I can completely understand why you would imagine miracles a justification for calling Jesus God and even though I see those…[Read more]

BRILLIANT!!!

The Quran does in fact say that God has no son and their is no trinity, regarding God not having a son or any sons at all be they angels or otherwise is because the idea never was meant to be literal because if it is literal then the Catholics are correct when they say that “Mary is the Mother of God” and is the reason she is called the…[Read more]

You see, when we speak of being born again what does being “born of the spirit ” mean? this is why I detailed an understanding of what it meant in my opinion just saying “born of spirit” is a generic catch phrase.

The Gospel is the good news but the actual Gospel that Jesus preached is the gospel of the kingdom
The apostles taught a different…[Read more]

Hi EDJ

When we talk about being “Born Again” I have often found it to be interesting that some Christians would ask others “are you born again?” which also would be followed or preceded by the question “Are you saved?” so lets investigate these terms and see what we come up with:

First of all it is interesting to note that the term is only found…[Read more]

I believe that once a person actually understands how people used a certain language it can help them from constantly utilizing that language from a self determined context to fit their theological leanings

Let’s examine what you are saying: The Bible says this about the believers:

Acts 17:27-29Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets…[Read more]

yes, I know the meaning of the dream but even dietary modifications came with the gentiles as they were given different dietary considerations: Acts 21:25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they should abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual…[Read more]

Simple answer….Yes. More complex answer following the guidance of God which is more complex than commandments such as the time when God told peter to through an inspiring dream to accept the gentiles in a most shocking way(eat unclean food) so we see from the bible that these commands are often modified for different people or circumstances

You simply misunderstand John 1:1 it is not saying what you think it is and it is not in the context you are putting it in. John is starting his Gospel with “in the beginning” and the Word of God was something that was given to many men:

John 10:35
If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

Again and again you repeat the same errors and you are so unwilling to concede anything but it may be your mind won’t let you, it’s like being caught in a mental trap it works like this I show you a clear verse:

For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

You will say that this…[Read more]

So before the Heavens and Earth were created God didn’t exist? Now I understand what you believe God is.

Isaiah 55:9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Oh By the way here is the answer to the question:

Isaiah 42:5 This is what God the LORD says– the…[Read more]
