    1 Peter 3:18-20 [ESV] For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when...

    Did some people get saved after they died?

    [Luke 16:22-31 ESV] 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and...

    Did some people get saved after they died?

    The sad part is that there is a great and grand and beautiful mystery playing out in the pages of scripture as Christ died and descended and led captives free … From Adam to Christ, the dead went to SHEOL (the grave, a holding place for the dead). Within SHEOL are two parts, ABRAHAMS BOSOM (a...

    Do you think this video is accurate?

    The Catholic and Apostolic Church of his day: The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it. If a soul is not clothed with the teachings of the Church he...

    You Lutherans just love your mysteries, don’t you? ;) A good Baptist would have just offered a speculation. :)

    Sirach allusion in James?

    You have a remarkably selective understanding. One moment you quote Talmudic Rabbinical references as authority, and the next you have no idea what a reference to “secret knowledge” means when discussing Gnosticism. I do not believe you, so I guess this conversation is over.

    Sirach allusion in James?

    I am concerned that ONLY the Alexandrian Hagiographa (the Greek translation of the OT used by the Hellenistic Egyptian Jews) includes Sirach. Experts have raised the opinion that the Alexandrian Hagiographa was a local Egyptian phenomenon and not part of the general diaspora. Personally, I...

    Sirach allusion in James?

    Tag team, huh. I was curious if HE had read any of what he so authoritatively throws out as proof. Since you chose to respond: Have you read it or did you just cut and paste from a Google search? Do you understand what is being said and why they are discussing it? Do you understand the conflict...

    Why did Jesus say almsgiving purges sin?

    [Matthew 12:35-37 ESV] “The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by...

    The Entire Bible and Old Testament

    Look at Numbers 1 (the first chapter). Ignore the details of the specific numbers of individuals for a moment and just look at the broad structure. From earlier books we know that the Covenant Promise (a special blessing and a promise of a special relationship) passed from Abraham to Isaac to...

    How do you interpret Jesus’ parable of the Minas?

    He was agreeing with Raphael that the more money you give to the poor, the more of your sins God will forgive. (Tobit 12:9) ;)

    God did not create sex for pleasure

    My thoughts: Jesse Lee Peterson was never married but has been engaged twice. “It just didn’t happen,” Peterson explained on his show in October 2020. ”I’ve been engaged twice, but uh, I refuse — you know how women pretend to be all in your corner until they get you.” Not qualified to be a...

    The Entire Bible and Old Testament

    One thing that helps me is to ask God before I read any chapter (I like to read a chapter at a time) is to show me just one thing in this chapter that is for me today. It is fascinating what small verse or fact will catch your eye and stick with you.
