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]

Quote (Ben Elohim @ Feb. 23 2005,14:50)We are souls of flesh. We are souls that are flesh. We are a WHO of WHAT, persons of flesh, souls of flesh. A soul is not a thing in addition to a body. It is a body of dust that is a WHO. Dust that has no spirit is not a who, not a soul. A rock is not a who and so is not a soul.Hi BenE, If our soul is…[Read more]

Doesn't it say somewhere that God will destroy the universe and the earth with fire and a new Heavens and earth created where sin has never dwelt.Also if God does destroy this creation and creates a new one, then does that include the Lake of Fire?Hell is thrown into the Lake of Fire. The question is what happens to the Lake of Fire?

Quote (Ben Elohim @ Feb. 22 2005,19:00)“A soul” essentially just means “a person.”A person means 'a son'. per = a, one.son = offspring.We know that Jesus is the Son, but I assume that he was a son before he became a man because he came from God before partaking of the flesh.Here are 3 questions:1) Which of the following can be taken away and yet…[Read more]

There is a discussion called 'What is Man' that deals with the subject being discussed here at the moment.Here is the link:https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin….35;st=0

Thought that I would put this discussion to the front. It's subject covers body, soul and the spirit of man which is currently being discussed in the Holy Spirit discussion I think. There may be some food for thought for someone.Here is my take on the subject:We are our soul. That is who we are, our identity.What we are is flesh (man), that is our…[Read more]

Quote (Ben Elohim @ Feb. 22 2005,19:00)Here is what a soul looks like Nick:Then YHVH God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  (Genesis 2:7).Note very carefully Nick that the dust of the earth BECAME a living soul.Revelation 6:9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw…[Read more]

To Modem Mouth,If God is Spirit and if man has a spirit, then why wouldn't Christ have a spirit too. After all is that not how we become one with God, (in spirit). Jesus is in God and God is in Jesus and we are in Jesus and he in us and we (church) are in God and God is in us.Now if we are the branches and Christ is the vine and the vine is…[Read more]

Quote (bic @ Feb. 22 2005,01:57)Nick Hassan said: Quote Godlessness is punished and all who do not obey the Son…eternally. Surely this doesn't mean that you believe in the eternal torment of sinners? This doctrine is ever bit as heinous and equally pernicious as the Trinity doctrine. We have Dante Alighieri to thank for such preposterous pagan…[Read more]

To Artizan007,Quote (Artizan007 @ Feb. 22 2005,00:04)In some translations the word says God regretted that he had made man… we regret from hindsight do we not.If He knew all things then why would He be sorry he had made it for surely its failure would be part of the course of things.I heard a scientist say something like this once:”With great…[Read more]

Quote (bic @ Feb. 22 2005,00:42)There is no doubt (in my mind) that God existed before the heavens and the earth. What I wonder, however, is that when God creates something for the very first time, does He learn something new? I have a hard time thinking that God is NOT ever-learning.Hi bic, I would think that God knows everything for nothing is…[Read more]

Another thing bic, I suppose we can wonder about the concept if infinite itself. Does it fully contain all things, or is it just the biggest number expression that continues to get bigger. I would have thought the first one.For if God only knows all things up to a point and then grows in knowledge, then somehow that suggests that God is limited by…[Read more]

John 17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

Quote (bic @ Feb. 21 2005,13:49)A good question and one IMPOSSIBLE to answer with any certainty. Here are some thoughts (this question has been pondered quite often):Either knowledge is static or dynamic. This means that either the knowlewdge base is finite or ever-expanding (growing).If knowledge is finite, let us assume that God is the sum of…[Read more]

Quote (david A @ Dec. 30 2004,20:16)Nick: Are we not all (who read and study the Bible) guilty of vainglory?Vain glory is all that which is not of the glory of God.It is OK and good to seek the true glory.

Some clues…Revelation 10:7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.So is the mystery of God complete at the seventh trumpet (last)?1 Corinthians 15:51-5351 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be…[Read more]
