    Death, Hell, and the Lake of Fire.

    So now that we clarify some the translation issues, we can more clearly see what scripture teaches. If we read the Hebrew text, we see the prophets who wrote the Bible did not know the word "Hell"; they used the Hebrew Sheol, which meant the grave, and also descriptions which with the...

    Death, Hell, and the Lake of Fire.

    So lets first look at the translation of the words closely to see their original meaning: · Hades was the Greek work used in some places for the Hebrew term, Sheol or grave as "the place of the dead". Thus, it is used in reference to both the righteous and the wicked, since both wind up there...

    Death, Hell, and the Lake of Fire.

    Now lets look some of the confusion at happens for both the good and the bad after death, and where the saints will go and also the ultimate destruction of the wicked in the Lake of Fire in a consuming fire, but which because of the Greek words used in translating from the Hebrew text has become...

    Death, Hell, and the Lake of Fire.

    A lot of the confusion comes from Greek pagan ideas and philosophy which crept into the church and has twisted a lot of what people believe. Take the false doctrine of purgatory which teaches that a Christian's soul must burn in purgatory after death until all of their sins have been purged. To...

    Death, Hell, and the Lake of Fire.

    There are those who say that if you are acquainted with the Bible and deny the eternal punishment of the wicked, you are not honest. That if the judgment of the wicked is not forever, then salvation of the saints is not forever, because the term of forever is used of both. So is the judgment of...

    The false doctrine of the immortality of the soul (or State of the Dead).

    Look at what Christ said and did and it shows you. Look at when speaking to His disciples about Lazarus, Jesus said: Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, if he sleep he shall do well. Howbeit, Jesus spoke of his death; but they...

    The false doctrine of the immortality of the soul (or State of the Dead).

    One of the most deceptive doctrines of Satan is the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. This doctrine more than any other opens the door to spurious views regarding the afterlife, and it has permeated the religious world with its false promises and claims. Moreover, it offers false promises...

    The False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    The scriptures makes clear that every eye will see Him at the Second Coming. Jesus will return in the clouds with His angels and there will be a great audible sound so that everyone on earth know of his coming, not just a select few. "And he shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet...

    Can the Law save us?

    Here is something which I posted years ago but is a great illustration on how the Law works... Jesus used parables to explain things plainly so the people could understand, and I was struck as I worked on my fence one morning, by how the fence was like Gods law, and I thought I would share it...

    The False Doctrine of the "Secret Rapture".

    Many are picking up the false doctrine of the "Secret Rapture", and spread to the people the idea that if you are a real Christian you will be caught up in the secret rapture to be with Christ. To arrive at this the Scripture has to be twisted and taken out of context. Lets look at some of the...

    Who will face Trump in the election of 2020?

    The economy will do fine, just scare tactics to try and get the stock exchanges to tank, but not much to it. Now war is the real danger, as Iran is basically trying to get one started. For what reason, I still haven't figured out, as if its a Shite/Sunni issue, we really don't need any of that.

    The origin of the St. John's Day Festival (or Midsummer Day).

    I was studying this festival when I came across some other festivals tied to it. But lets start with this festival, St. John's Day is celebrated on June 24. For some it includes singing songs and dancing until the sun sets, telling tales, searching to find the magic fern blossom at midnight...

    What is Easter

    Many Christians think that Easter is the Pasch or Passover, and are surprised to find out it is not. Easter is anglo-saxon name for the Babylonian goddess Ishtar/Astarte: the queen of heaven, mother goddess. As for Easter, the name "Easter" never appears in the Greek New Testament. It has...

    Gods 10 Commandments versus the list of the 613 Mitzvot or commandments of Moses...

    One thing that stands out about Gods 10 Commandments is that they are not inspired but written with Gods own finger, the same cannot be said for the 613 Mitzvot. Gods 10 Commandments are everlasting they do not change, but even the Jews admit that the law of Moses is arbitrary depending on the...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    There is no maybe or perhaps, give a infant the steering wheel of your car at 70 miles per hour and see if he can 'discern' a 18 wheeler or anything for that matter in his path.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    As I said its through faith, and who is capable of it at that point, certainly not the infants. Now the King James Version gives a full description of the baptism in many places, Acts 8 is one. The eunuch here was a high official from Ethiopia so certainly was a man of age, and had come to...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Infants cannot make a conscious decision. Therefore, to baptize them defeats the whole purpose. You cannot find any verse to support it, only Gods mercy and grace and the faith of the parents, as the infants cant discern much less understand at that point of their lives.

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    Correct, there is no biblical support for such a practice, its origin is not scriptural but if you research it comes from a so called 'tradition'. In every case in the Bible where baptism was performed, including when Jesus, our prime example, was baptized, the person being baptized was old...

    Amen, what is basically the 'Age of Accountability', when they discern and understand what it means to repent from sin and accept Christ.
