t8,

I believe that among the Jews is a true teaching and that is that God cast certain people into Gehenna to suffer for a unspecified time and then at the end of that time he destroys them.

I have not yet know of any evidence but they may also be right that he does this because some will come to repent of their sins after being tormented for…[Read more]

In John 8:24 & John 8:28 the translators of the AV of the KJV chose to translate the same words they translated as “I am” in John 8:58.  I am convinced they made that choice, despite the bad English that was the result, because of their doctrine about the meaning of God’s words in Exodus.    The bad English paints them as being non-credible as wit…[Read more]

Gene,

KERWIN……it says,”THE SPIRIT OF MAN IS THE CANDEL OF THE LORD, SEARCHING ALL THE INWARD PARTS OF THE BELLY”

Explain how you get you assumptions from that.

A candle is not, THE BREATH OF LIFE, NOR THE BREATH OF ANYTHING, it is a candel meaning a “LIGHT” that gives us our mental understanding (intellect) which inables OR GIVES us the ABILITY…

Hi KW,

Yes prov 20 is relevant.

But tell us of the godly or ungodly spirits natural men have in your opinion and where are these mentioned in scripture?

If you mean the Holy Spirit as the godly one no natural man has this till he is reborn from above.

If you mean ungodly is demonic then can you clarify?

Jesus suggested the sons of…

Gene,

The ENGLISH WORD HELLOS MEANS TO SIMPLY TO BURY AND COVER, EXACTLY WHAT A GRAVE DOES WHEN WE ARE BURIED AFTER DEATH

These words just show me that you are in denial and seeking to justify that denial.  You are like a man with cancer who seeks to minimize that he is coughing up traces of blood instead of seeking medical aid.  All I can do f…[Read more]

Gene,

English is called a Germanic Language and that does not change anything since so are a vast number of the European languages.  The Scandinavians, Saxons, and Angles are all Germanic peoples.  They are also all Indo-Europeans and if  we go back far enough they will all be one of the factions that split off from the descendants of Noah at th…[Read more]

Gene,

You are in denial which means that unconscious and conscious processes in you see a reason why excepting the facts that the word god has more than one definition is you is an immediate threat to you while the threat that if you do not repent is a lesser and more distant threat to you.

I hope you have to adjust to the truth but urge you to…[Read more]

Bodhitharta,

I agree but that understanding troubles Gene and so he denies it even though he has no basis for that denial.

SonofGod,

That is what I hear.

One way to translate the words of John 8:58i nto good English is the following.

I have been since before Abraham  was made.

another way is

I have been the him since before Abraham was made.

I favor the second idea as it is about identity and it goes with Jesus’ last words.

Many favor the first one because it is about existence and it agrees…[Read more]

Gene,

I believe the word of God and you choose not to.  I believe that God called his people gods in order to reveal that they are to be superior to the human beings around and so not given to sinful practices.  It is an easy thing to understand and yet you choose not to.  After all when you look at an English language dictionary you see that go…[Read more]
