Hi t8,

2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Was Jesus born a king as well? NO!

He is said to be born king of the Jews because that is what he would become. The OT tells us that a person from the tribe of Judah God would anoint with His Spirit, thus bec…[Read more]

Hi t8,

Let me add this as well,

Hebrews 2:10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.

Hebrews 5:9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him

I don’t…[Read more]

Good Morning t8,

We are not changing scripture, the child that was born was our savior and he is our master. But we were not saved by his birth, he was not anyone’s master when he was a baby.

“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

He was called a savior because he would be a…[Read more]

2 `And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches — to abhorrence age-during.

Some of those sleeping in the dust wake to eternal life, Some of those sleeping in the dust wake to a judgement. That is pretty clear Nick, you deny it.

Soul is the same as your life, God takes the breath of your life away, He takes the BREATH out of your SOUL and it DIES.

Okay Nick, why don’t you take all of the passages I gave you and show me how it is that those are not to be taken literally, but it is the parable that we do. Enlighten us with YOUR special spiritual interpretation of all of those passages.

Why you are at it explain away how the soul does not also mean a person’s life.

Please distinguish the…[Read more]

Actually Nick in my longer post I just gave you, you are the one denying the teachings of Jesus!! I accept his word and I accept the teaching he gave in a parable, that teaching was NOT about what happens to you when you die.

You are still denying that David said God would redeem his soul, his LIFE, from sheol upon the resurrection. You…[Read more]

Yes Nick you are trying to reason that a parable is literal even when you have hundreds of scriptures that show that it could not possibly be literal.

Nick death is death whether it be the first death or the second death, the difference of the second death is that it is the LAST death there is not a 3rd or 4th resurrection!

You choose to interpret first death and the second death as representing two different realities, you do not have scriptural support for this other than a parable, and you…[Read more]

Yes exactly we are to sift through all of scripture Nick which clearly you are not doing. You deny countless scriptures even the definition of the soul, and instead you take a parable as being literally true. The NT quotes the OT. The NT fulfills the OT.

NO Nick you are WRONG, Daniel speaks of sleeping to also those raised to judgment,

Daniel…[Read more]

We should probably take this discussion to another topic.

Hi Nick, This is what I ACCEPT,

I ACCEPT that people don’t repent once they go down to the grave, as they cannot receive hope while they are in the grave, they know nothing.

Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot…[Read more]

Hi t8,

As Gene I believe already pointed out, upon his birth were the people saved from their sins? His birth wiped away our sins? NO! At the river Jesus was BORN of God’s Spirit and then he was sent out to speak the words of God and perform God’s will. He went to the cross being perfected as a human being and then he died, by that death we are…[Read more]

Nick, we are told that the god of this world is man’s belly, his fleshly desires.

hmm, read on in the verse in question,
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my…[Read more]

Hi Nick, you said, “Then the warning that the will of God will be done despite the plans of men.”

Oh I thought according to you it is actually the plans of a supernatural wicked rebel spirit being? make up your mind, you make NO sense.

In the mind of Peter was that of a man’s mind in comparison to him being like minded united with God’s Spirit.

Hi LU,

The OT has things that take place at that time but then also picture a future time to be fulfilled. Such as the passover lamb, and likewise the son of man that God would be a father to.

John 14: 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

My understanding comes straight from many scriptures, you make many passages into lies with your understanding. My understanding shows the character of God in one way, your’s shows a different character of God.  His character is revealed in the truth of scripture, I can’t help it if you misinterpret scripture and the result makes God…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

You said,”Jesus was addressing the satan that spoke through the man Peter.”

NO, Jesus is said clearly to be addressing Peter and he is telling Peter to get behind him, calling HIM an adversary. Peter himself is an offense to Jesus because Peter is not thinking through the Spirit of God, but rather the spirit of men.

Really?? Jesus is…[Read more]

Hi LU,

What I am asking is that you read the scriptures and you connect scriptures together and you believe what they say.  I gave you a scripture and you could not speak of that scripture all you could do was give a paragraph of your ideas, none of which actually reflects what is in the passage I gave, actually what you gave goes against the…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

Deut 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them: for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage: for thou shalt go with this people into the land which…[Read more]

Hi Nick,

One thing you don’t seem to realize is that if when you die you either go to a place of reward or a place of torment, then you have ALREADY been judged and are receiving a judgment. The second resurrection is to judge and then to punish with the second death. But according to you the sinners are already being judged and punished with…[Read more]
