Adam……all who are not in the first resurection will come up in the second and be Judged and at that time there eyes will be opened by GOD”s Spirit and they will repent, just as those who murdered Jesus did when the Spirit of Truth came on them.

Irene….i think what Hanoch and Adam brought out are a pretty good explanation of them. It would be interesting to understand it all better.

Nick….words are about thinking also. they are derived from intellect. Words are expressions of intellects. Surely you know that don't you. That the problem when you read and can't put things together. I think your just have a continuous spirit in you. IMO
GeneBalthrop replied to the topic Universal Salvation in the forum Scriptural Teachings 18 years, 1 month ago
Nick….. right, and if you will take time to check out the word fear you will find it means in Hebrew reverence for GOD. Jesus was not walking around like a bowl of Jelly shaking in His boots and trembling. At least the Jesus in my bible was not fearful at all. He was a man who had Salt in Him and told us to also, A man who spoke with great authority.

Nick…..where do you get (SEPERATE) the Soul into body and spirit. Jesus said fear him who can kill both BODY and Soul , Why because thats all there is for us. The SOUL = BODY and SPIRITAnd while the body can dies the Spirt part goes back to God who gave it, Man became a living SOUL when God joined Spirit and BODY, that made Him living SOUL>IMO

Nick……..Godly fear is different then going around shaking like a leaf. Godly fear is a type of deep respect and appreciation For God and what He has done for us all.

To All the bible plainly says if God were to withdraw his Spirit all life would cease to exist. the Spirit is the key part of our soul it lives in our bodies. Jesus did not tell us fear him who can destory our spirits, but Body and Soul. If the Spirit was another component of us why did he fail to mention it then. He ONLY MENTIONED BODY AND SOUL…[Read more]

Nick….right but God can destroyed it if He wants to, and that is the part of the soul Jesus was talking about that could be destroyed by GOD. Nick you have not shown any scripture that backs you claim of three components , the body, the soul, the spirit. If you have proof then show us then. Don't keep trashing what said.
