Hi Gene,

Determination to prove facts are FICTION will not change the eternal truth of scripture.

God does not lie.

Hi Gene,

Yes Jesus illustrated his parables wth factual matters that folks know about.

Do you not know of Hades?

Hi Shania,

Welcome back.

Scripture does mention delays.

Hi T8,

Yes the verse is true.

No offence but your understanding of it is spiritually naive.

Hi Gene,

If you do not understand life you will not understand death.

But the scriptures will help you if you do not lean on your own understanding.

Hi Gene,

The OT is replete with many teachings about Sheol or Hades and Jesus enlarged on these.

Have you rejected the OT as well?

Hi Jodi,

So you say SOUL means LIFE.

Then man became a LIVING LIFE?.

Hi Gene,

Any more FICTION you have found in scripture?

Man is a LIVING SOUL.

When he loses his spirit he is still a soul and the waiting places in the earth are taught about by Jesus.

Did Jonah die?

Hi Gene,

Sowers really do sow seeds. Fishermen really do catch fish.

No FICTION there or elsewhere in scripture as God cannot lie.

Jesus taught in parables from reality and you should try to listen .

Hi LU,

Yes Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Not God the son and not God.

Those are just idolatrous inventions of carnal men

Hi Jodi,

Those in Jesus died and are yet alive in the Spirit.

..for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable”

Rom 11.29

The Spirit is a GIFT OF GOD and is not taken away from those who walk in it.

Hi Jodi,

David is alive to God.

He went to sleep in death housing the Spirit of Life.

He will be in the first resurrection with all the other anointed ones of God

Hi Jodi,

‘ The old wine is better they say’

Certainly many prefer the OT as it has been studied and analysed for centuries.

Herod knew the messiah was a man who would need to be born so sought expert advice on the matter.

But Jesus Christ was given the Spirit without measure while the prophets were somewhat in the dark as 1 Peter1.11 sho…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

What is THE SIGN OF JONAH if Jonah did not die?

Hi Jodi,

The lake of fire is the second death as revelation 20.14 tells us twice.

This is the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels that Jesus spoke of in Mt 25.41.

The fire that is not quenched. Is 66.24

Hi Jodi,

The two deaths are not the same.

Jesus came to free men held captive by the fear of the first death.

But he did warn men to fear Him Who is able to destroy both body and soul in the second death.

Hi Jodi,

None of the scriptures you show CONTRADICT  the teaching of the Spirit through Jesus Christ in Lk 16.

Based on your ideology YOU DO.

Just because you cannot see it so clearly in the OT.

‘Lord to whom else should we go? You have the words of eternal life.’

’Heal my unbelief’

Hi Jodi,

Dan 12.2

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, THESE to everlasting life,

but THE OTHERS to disgrace and .everlasting contempt.

You assume the SLEEP refers to both groups?

Hi Jodi,

You cannot call one parable FICTION without bringing  all of scripture into disrepute.

Show us where God has used FICTION elsewhere in scripture.

If you cannot then ponder it and align it

Hi Jodi,

I deny NONE of the passages that you offer.

You do not grasp the spiritual meanings of them and get confused.

Man is a SOUL enlivened by a SPIRIT living in a BODY.
