Here is an extremely large thread on the soul:https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….;st=120

Quote NIck…………You are absolutely wrong, the SOUL is INDEED the PERSON and the PERSON INCLUDES a BODY with SPIRIT IN IT>–geneGene, I'm wondering what you think of dead people, dead souls? In Leviticus, Numbers and Haggai, we find the phrase “dead soul” about 12 times. (Or, “soul of someone dead.” Heb., ne′phesh meth; LXX, “deceased soul”…[Read more]

Quote (Ed J @ April 29 2010,17:37)Quote (david @ Aug. 30 2009,08:44)LUKE 17:21“neither will people be saying, ‘See here!’ or, ‘There!’ For, look! the kingdom of God IS WITHIN YOU.” (KJ, NIV)(Both the KJ margins and the NIV footnote give alternate translations: (“among you” and “in your midst”)I have to think the alternate translations are the cor…[Read more]

Quote 348. Is there any indication in Scripture that St. Peter was ever in Rome?Yes. St. Peter ends his first Epistle with the words, “The Church which is in Babylon salutes you, and so doth my son Mark.” Pagan Rome was called Babylon by the early Christians; and St. Peter was writing from that city.Or, even more possibly, “Babylon” actually means…[Read more]

Hey, I forgot about this thread. I had given up on it because of Nick. And I see it is once again off topic. I think we should save the first page of this thread, transfer it somewhere else, and destroy this thread.

Quote You probably don't honor your parents on Mother's Day or Father's Day either, do you? Jesus did not institute the celebration so you don't either…right?Would it make more sense to “honor your parents” every day? What does the Bible say about honoring your parents? hmmm. Does it say to do it one day? hmmmm.In answer to your question,…[Read more]

Quote David you are wanting the celebration of the resurrection day to not happen–luObviously, completely false. I'm stating that injecting paganism and false gods into Christ's resurrection is sacrilegious, and specifically something the true God condemns and hates.Quote David you are wanting the celebration of the resurrection day to not…[Read more]

Quote Whats funny is the Global warming wackos acually claim that these cold spells and record breaking cold temperatures are part of the Global warming trend.–A wacko.Since you seem to think locally, perhaps climate change is more understandable for you than “global warming.” If you fill a glass up with ice so that it is overflowing, and then…[Read more]

Quote If you want to acknowledge pagan customs and give them power and control who am I to keep you. –luWhich person is giving pagan customs more power?–the person who adopts pagan words, customs, symbols into their worship?–Or the person who says this is wrong?I think the answer is obvious. The Bible says not to learn the way of the pagan.…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ April 13 2010,13:03)Canada will benefit from a sea passage (that competes with the Panama Canal) opening up for a longer part of the year. I saw a news article on it and the US wanted control of it.I know. I was going to mention that same thing. To me, it seems ridiculous that some say there is no global warming. You can dispute…[Read more]

Quote In any case, even if the word “Easter” was associated with an ancient goddess, it does not mean we cannot use the word today. We have many words in the English language that were connected with ancient gods. Sure, we use the word “cereal” and “monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc.” But, is nothing sacred? And if anything is sacred, don't you…[Read more]

If they answer “yes”, then ask them if they have a strong faith in God.My guess is they would probably say no. What do others think this mugger's answer would be.Yes or no.Agreed. You are just as likely to be mugged by a…[Read more]

Quote Therefore the writer understood the proper translation of the Hebrew word Elohyim in its context as being a ruler or mighty one and not “a god” or Theos!–wjSo, are you now saying that “god” (theos/Elohyim) essentially means “mighty one”?What great progress we are making WJ.Quote If as you say, angels are not gods (Elohyim) “at all” why doe…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ April 13 2010,01:10)Quote (david @ Aug. 31 2009,09:45)The kingdom of God–“within” the Pharisees, or “among” the Pharisees?Quote Hi David,The King was among them as he spoke.DANIEL 2:44““And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.

Quote Yes, but you would not die for it. Actually why would you even fight for such a thing since an atheist only believes in this one and only life.It would be illogical for any atheist to waste their one and only life on any social front as basically they believe there is no intrinsic or inherent meaning in life.And yet another reason athiests…[Read more]
