It's possible, although the NIV tranlates it as a guardian cherub as opposed to the guardian cherub. Not sure which is correct.Ezekiel 28:14    You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.Also, Is Michael a Cheribim, Seraphim? Does anyone know?Isaiah 6:2Above h…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2005,18:30)Hi t8, What do you make of Is 66.24?It is quoted in Mk 9.45 as Gehenna so that makes it a risk for the human listeners to the words of Yeshua.Hi Nick, The verse talks about the flesh or carcasses of the wicked. I am not sure that you hold to the view that their bodies are preserved in some kind of eternal…[Read more]

Quote I see a 'lake' as a defined area. I don't see the burning up of the earth as relating to that.2 Peter 3:7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Nick, I suppose it depends where the comma is in the above verse. If the comma is placed after the…[Read more]

2 Peter 3:7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Matthew 24:35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.Revelation 21:1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2005,01:27)Hi bic, Satan is reputed to have been a cherub so that makes them of the angelic order and they possibly are archangels since Satan seemed to have equivalent rights with other sons of God in Job 1-2, 2Peter 2 and Jude.Satan was the 'Chief Cherub'. So does the word 'chief' imply 'archangel'. That…[Read more]

Quote (bic @ Mar. 05 2005,04:44)t8: Is your moniker pronounced tate?…that's what I guessed.Hi Cubes,t8 is pronounced tee eight. I never thought of it as tate before, but it makes sense. When I was younger I wanted to get into the IT industry and so I needed time to learn how to use computers and how to program etc.I took a job as a taxi driver…[Read more]

Quote (liljon @ Mar. 05 2005,16:38)Holy spirit personal name is YahwehThat maybe so Lijon.But when the Trinity doctrine becomes the template that scripture must fit into, it nullifies the idea that one can search for truth from God.As it is written: “How can the man know the deep things of God unless God's Spirit reveals it”. There is no way that…[Read more]

Hi Nick, To me the following shows that no man will not live forever in a sinful state:Genesis 3:21-2421 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 01 2005,13:04)The Hell to be destroyed in the Lake of fire is identified as Hades, the place of waiting only, and not Gehenna.”Rev 20.14″ Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire..”I think that Hades was divided into 2. 1) The place of the wicked (Hell)2) The place of the righteous (Paradise)The…[Read more]

ParadiseQuote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 02 2005,14:42)Hi Happyman, Your question about 'paradise' deserves closer analysis than I have given it in the past. I realise now it is not a waiting place for the Jews known as the Bosom of Abraham in Lk 16.Paul spoke of it as part of heaven in 2 Cor 12.4Rev 2.7 speaks of it being the place wherein is the tree…[Read more]

Quote (bic @ Feb. 26 2005,23:42)Let me ask you a question. How would you feel about OUR justice system if we tortured our criminals for as long as humanly possible instead of giving them the death sentence? Would that be acceptable to you? It never ceases to amaze me that people who cry out against governments abusing prisoners have no qualms…[Read more]

I have my belief regarding this and of course I am not only open to correction, but open to sharing my view too.Body = Physical vessel for a physical world. Or spiritual vessel for the spirtual realm.Soul = self, mind, identity.Spirit of man = God's Spirit or breath that makes the soul live and then the body is activated by reason of the mind. The…[Read more]

To MM,Quote (Guest @ Feb. 26 2005,22:23)So God is limited to His spiritual form? I think God could manifest Himself in any form he liked.The eternal God cannot be contained in anything. He can dwell inside someone and his creation, but he cannot be contained. Surely God is greater than anything he has created and how can an infinite God be…[Read more]

Quote (Ramblinrose @ April 21 2003,23:22)I have removed this post as my belief that Yahshua pre-existed has now changed.That is not very honest of you RamblinRose and it doesn't help us in searching for the truth when you do this as other posts in reply to yours will not make sense to the reader.Truth seems to have taken a back seat to defending…[Read more]

Quote (Guest @ Feb. 26 2005,15:52)Hang on t8, none of these scriptures say that the Father and Sons have different names.All I did was quote some scriptures to get this discussion started and somehow you find fault even with that.Regarding seeing God, you will find that many of the verses where is says someone saw God, they actually saw a…[Read more]

Cubes, Good on you for questioning all things regarding your faith. Here are some verses that we can start with.Proverbs 30:4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of…[Read more]

Nothing yet, but your view is certainly worth considering.There does however appear to be a sense of urgency regarding this desolation. It says to not even go into one's house to grab your jacket, but just leave. It also says something like “woe to woman with young children in those days and pray that it will not be Winter when it happens”. So it…[Read more]

Matthew 17:3-43 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters–one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

Quote (bic @ Feb. 23 2005,22:37)The general consensus of Christianity (as I know it) agrees that the books of the Apocrypha do not belong as part of scripture. From what I have read in them, this was the correct choice. If these books are not inspired of God (which I am firmly convinced that they are not), they introduce error and deception into…[Read more]

To Hi BenE,1 Peter 1:9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.If we relegate the soul to mean a combination of both spirit and body, then that hypothesis seems to infer that we become a new soul when we get a new body or a new spirit.I would have thought that soul is our identity, it is who we are and if God…[Read more]
