Sheol represents the place of the dead, where both the dead righteous and the wicked go, the grave. No physical, mental, or spiritual activity is possible there because it is never linked with life or any kind of existence, but exclusively with death. The story of Lazarus was a parable, the Jews...

Wow, Gods Word has the answers, we just have to let the Holy Spirit lead us.

....There are no indications that the soul of Lazarus, or of the other six persons raised from the dead, had gone to heaven. None of them had a "heavenly experience" to share. The reason being that none of them had ascended to heaven. This is confirmed by Peter's reference to David in his speech...

Well, the early church believed in the resurrection of the dead with a bodily restoration and fought hard against the pagan belief that the immortal soul went to the underworld immediately after death. But today it is the inverse, and the pagan belief has crept into the church, and become the...

In ancient Rome, the pagan priests also picked up and spread purgatory to the pagans, but as a belief in the early church it was not immediately picked up. From earliest times Greek religious beliefs were a strong influence in Italy, and the Graeco-Roman world was essentially one in its...

We have this "doctrine" from the Roman Catholic Church.... 'III. THE FINAL PURIFICATION, OR PURGATORY 1030 All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the...

The answer to the lawyer in the story of the Good Samaritan comes to mind.... Luke 10:25-37 King James Version (KJV) 25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest...

And yet if we remain just "talking" about Jesus and dont do the close walk with Jesus, obeying His commandments, then what? Christ makes clear that at the end, that those who claim they have Christ and yet "heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not," will be surprised. Matthew 7:22-27...

Many people know about God, but less actually are converted and follow God. As Christ did at Gethsemane we must set aside all and follow Gods will. Jesus came across someone who asked this same question: Matthew 19:16-17 "16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing...

Please give me the text where Christ says that He negates the Sabbath and puts in Sunday, there are none....He came to show them the purpose which He gave the Sabbath, as the Jews had lost sight of it and had made it a burden with all their rules and extreme legalism. As for gathering daily...

I guess you've not heard of Gods Ten Commandments and Christ reaffirming them in the New Testament....

First we have to understand Jesus is not a "day" nor is He ever symbolically/metaphorically linked to being a “day” in the Bible, so this does not negate the Sabbath. Jesus is linked to being "the vine", "the lamb", "the door", "the rock" and many other things but never, not once, a "day". We...

That is a hard question, as depending on the culture or even area, it can vary. Let me give you an example, when we got a new principal in a school in south Florida, the school board had a meeting on what was appropriate to wear to the beach where the picnic was to be held. He was from up north...

One which came around for a while was that it was "the Lords Day" ..or the first day. So lets look at this: Exodus 20:8-11 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt...

So where do people claim the Scripture says the Sabbath was changed? Well In the New Testament the first day of the week is mentioned eight times. In none of the eight instances is the first day said to be a day of worship, never is it said to be the Christian substitute for the Old Testament...

I set up a new thread https://www.christianityhaven.com/showthread.php?8280-Does-the-day-of-Christ-resurrection-tell-us-to-worship-on-Sunday&p=182257#post182257 to go over that so as not to derail this thread, as they never seem to cease coming, and there are many other ideas people have come...

Now there are those who claim that Jesus did away with the "Sabbath and all the other ceremonial laws”, or it doesn't apply anymore. But if you look, when Jesus the Son of God came, He kept the seventh day all His life.Luke 4:16 "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as...
