AndrewAD,

Oh yes Kerwin believe the silly commentaries instead of what the bible actually says! that makes you holy indeed!

Only foolish humans do not seek to correctly understand God’s word. The culture of the period of the time when a book is written is critical to understanding it correctly.

It would not be needed if we had not…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

Yes, he believes that the gospel is a broken teaching and therefore cannot be tested by reason. He is either going to have to give up the idea Jesus is a human being or the idea that Jesus and other true paradoxes to have a teaching that is not broken.

Do you really fall for that line that the Trinity cannot be tested after being…[Read more]

Nick,

If our wise then you can figure out why writers chose to use the words they did.

AndrewAD,

I have been a member of both the Seventh Day Adventist and Church of Christ and heard their teachings. I have looked at others and never heard what you claim out if the mouth of those that claim they were Christians. If I think about it someone mentioned it in passing in something I read.

Perhaps I have cultural bias but calling a…[Read more]

Nick,

It means that in some ways the concept Hades parallel’s the concept of Sheol. There are also differences and those differences do not apply.

Nick,

Hi KW,

We know we will be like to him.

We know that we will be changed but you do not think he was ?

You assume that when Jesus said to put his hand into his side he was not being truthful?

Now the Lord is the Spirit.

You already know different than you say with these words and yet you never the less say them.

Jesus changed…[Read more]

Nick,

We are not speaking of the opinions of the Greeks but rather the opinions of those that chose to use words from Greek mythology to represent Judeo-Christian ideas.

I also posted out the similarities between the concept of Tartarus in Greek mythology and the lowest Sheol in the bible. I assume there are differences but they are simply…[Read more]

Nick,

It is only relevant when parallel concepts exists. The Greek Hades has some similarities to the idea of Hades as written in the NT and Tartarus is claimed to be below Hades though a part of it. Scripture speaks of the lowest Sheol.

Nick,

Scripture teaches us that Jesus was raised in a flesh and bone body and somewhat later ascended to heaven. There is nothing written that the composition of his body changed and yet you believe it did.

Scripture teaches that Thomas demanded to touch the prints on Jesus’ wrists and put his hand into Jesus’ side and yet you assume he was…[Read more]

Nick,

I already answered your question with the words:

I said:

Tartarus is in the Greek version of Hades and appears to correspond to the place the rich man went after death.

in ancient Greek mythology, is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the…

The wicked are resurected from the dead as well and then they also go onto damnation. (Luke 20:35) There may be wicked that do not experience death before they to go on to damnation.

t8,

The translators of the AV of the KJV translated more than one concept to the word hell. Tartarus, Hades, and Gehenna are all translated to the word hell.

Hades which is called Sheol in Hebrew is a place of the dead.

Tartarus is in the Greek version of Hades and appears to correspond to the place the rich man went after death.

Gehenna is…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

Matthew tells the generation of Jesus Christ from Joseph’s point of view. (Matthew 2:13) The genealogy in there is his.

Luke tells the generation of Jesus Christ from Mary’s point of view.(Luke 2:51) The genealogy in there is hers.

Mary, a daughter of David through Nathan married Joseph a son of David through Solomon.

I had never…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

Many know Jesus after the flesh as it is only Spiritual humans that know him after the Spirit.

In knowing Jesus after the flesh Paul persecuted Christians but in knowing him after the Spirit he preached the gospel.

I hope to learn to know him better after the Spirit and less after the flesh.

Nick,

We have previously discussed a number of points where your view disagrees with Scripture.

Mike,

Hello.

Jesus is no longer flesh, but has been transformed into a spirit being with a glorious new body.

That is what Gnostics claim but it is not written in Scripture. Gnostics use Scriptures that can be interpreted to support it in an attempt to legitimize their claim.

Scripture teaches us that Jesus rose in a flesh and bone body and…[Read more]

Nick,

I assume you mean that you also deny Scriptural truths that contradict your own conclusions.

I may not have mentioned it.

Gene,

In my experience you are often in self denial and so refuse to believe evidence that contradicts your own conclusions.

There is nowhere in Scripture where it is written the spirit is intellect and yet you insist it is.

Nick also does the same thing at times as do the vast majority of human beings.

To often it seems that the Spirit…[Read more]
