It would indeed mean that those spoken to, who God spits out, are unbelievers. It does not mean they lose their salvation. No verse means believers lose their salvation. Those who persist to the end are believers who give evidence of their faith and walk in Christ, which real believers generally...

None of us have or will live perfectly obeying Yahweh doing as the commandments from God say. Yahweh is still gracious with Jesus Christ sent into this world and the way of salvation for us shown with faith in him having it possible, with repentance that happens and it leading from sin to needed...

Easter of course is an english word that Christians today, but not really others who have Easter observances, associate with remembering the resurrection of Christ. It is not in the Bible though (translations having this word have added it in place of the word already there). The issue to some...

The "Goal" is any of us being restored to God, the redemption made available through Christ for this is to bring us out and away from life of sin, that is rebellion against God's will for our life, to have relationship with God ongoing in this restoration. It will certainly be forever, through...

That is like those who voted for Trump because Hillary is "evil", they heard Trump call out to "lock her up" for crimes she is guilty of, when he would win the presidency, and accuse her of collusion. But, it's different if there is basis for Trump to be investigated for that very thing? What...

If this being the case were true, while it certainly is conceivable, it would mean all this vast, vast universe all the million million million million cubic lightyears with all the galaxies of thousands of millions of stars and the planets and other bodies going around them, have no future...

The simple original apostolic gospel can be seen in contrast to a lot of modern Christian churches. But it is not contrary to faith in all the scriptures of the Bible. Philippians 1:21-23 Paul states, For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will...

If there were verses in the Bible showing the righteous are not yet in Heaven with Christ but in Sheol, even though souls of believers as Paul go immediately to be with Christ, and Christ is in Heaven, such that it really is better to depart from this life for that, I would see what would have...

Yes, it is important that we study seeing any of the scripture passages and not be neglecting any, learning which of the themes in the Bible they are a part of, with attention to contexts, within the text and of the cultural setting, and who is addressed. Where it was posted, 'We have indeed...

The basis of salvation is trust in God's way of salvation submitting to that, which is through Jesus Christ when he was revealed in this world. His account of Lazarus and the unresponsive rich man who knew about him was not saying wealth or poverty is basis for salvation. Rather there is just...

I would dignify with answering a response to what I last posted in response to you. But this post is responding to the original post in this thread, from me, that you had posted a response to then, with the same points, and I responded to that adequately. It does nothing to advance any...

Thanks for the readings. You can have a Meatless Monday mentioned as well, can't you?

That doesn't matter. Do you think God didn't know what would happen, and people would say this for saying they would not speak his name, when he said, "You should tell them this, and this is my name, to be remembered in all generations"? And the way it was said is preserved, as there was ancient...

A soul certainly continues on after death. Life is a physical phenomenon, and death is a physical state of a body as well. Immortality applies to life that can be bestowed on a body, with incorruptibility. It improperly applied as a term to a soul, people confuse that though and use that term...

Yet repent and be baptized do need to come together. Baptism without repentance already is an empty gesture. It isn't known that repentance will come later. In fact, that is the thing with repentance, it is never known if repentance will come later. Some who get baptized live thereafter without...

The lake of fire depicted in the Bible is Gehenna, it is a permanent destination for souls that were never truly repentant, where the devil and his direct servants would have already been cast. Hades mentioned in the Bible is often shown as hell in translations, it is not a permanent destination...

First, I am not arguing against seeing that souls do continue. Immortality is never a word used for souls in passages of the Bible. It is a conceivable characteristic of living. But living is a physical quality. We and all living animals are not the only living ones, there are fungi living...

Major textual differences are something I would consider worth looking at. Minor differences are like spelling differences, not differences in meaning, so I wouldn't care about such. The Septuagint, itself a translation, and the Masoretic, should both be thoroughly checked, by those with...

So some of you are offended. Well boohoo. I don't see why I should care if others are offended, if I do offend others it is not from me seeking to offend others. But I am sure no one has rights to not be offended, and people use their easily being offended to push their agenda with others. But...

I don't refer to souls as immortal souls, it isn't a biblical phrase. Immortality is from Yahweh. When anyone dies, death can cut off the soul. In the Bible, the soul can suffer in a righteous sentence. The soul in Christ does not have to face that, as there was repentance and Christ bore the...
