Pro 8:22  "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. 
Pro 8:23  "From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth. 
Pro 8:24  "When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.

verse 22 "qanah" can mean created and can mean possessed, God did not create Wisdom for it would mean that God didn't have wisdom before then, so God posessed Wisdom
verse 24 "chul" is described similar to giving birth, so God who is a Spirit bought forth wisdom/the Word out of himself, bought forth part of his Spirit

God and the word is that same one Spirit that is God.
and the Word was God, john 1:1

God is greater than His Word, i am greater than my word, but my word is part of me, as is God's
of course i cannot make my word become a person, a son, but God can and did
Wisdom always existed in God




to create means to make something out of nothing or from matter which is not a part of the Creator
whereas, "begotten" is to give existence to a being from the being of the one who beget

the Word is not created but is brought forth from God, begotten of God, part of the one and the same Spirit that is God
God's Word/Wisdom always existed in God, and was bought forth and became the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Christians worship God, and the Lord Jesus who died for them, the lost don't

What about the everlasting fire he mentioned? What other phrase can you use to replace it?
He also used the phrase, furnace of fire.
Suffer de sweet you. You go cry tire.

You keep telling yourself a lie blindly instead of finding out what Jesus taught in his mother's language. It's like someone speaking to his own people using idioms and proverbs familiar to his listeners then a stranger tries to interpret only to end up giving a totally different picture of what the original speaker wanted to inculcate in the minds of his listeners.
Well continue dreaming about your torment after death at least the true God has declared that tormenting people in fire has never come up to His heart {Jeremiah 7:31} perhaps you can force it down His throat since that is what your own religion teaches! smiley

So your Jer 7:31 doesn't apply here then.

because no where in Jer 7:31 that says God won't torment people with fire.

But here is a direct statement from Jesus about torment with fire.

Matthew 13:50 "and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Was Jesus talking about the living or non existence being?

There's nowhere in the Old Testament that say those destroyed are somewhere being tormented after death so Jesus was teaching in parables. At death the body (bones) of the dead routine in the grave so they can't possibly gnash teeth (bone)

A happy person doesn't keep malice with others {Matthew 18:22} our God is a happy person {1Timothy 1:11} He won't keep malice for long with the creatures of His own hands {Genesis 6:3}

1. But the same God is a consuming fire Hebrew 12:29
2. The same God visited the iniquity of the father on the son even on to the fourth generation.
3. The same God is the one who is angry with the wicked everyday.

Besides, you're the one accusing God of keeping malice.

The scripture says God is the God of justice and bringing judgement to the wicked reason why Jesus says NLT - “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons."

If God will send people to the same place where devil will be, definitely it will be eternally because even you believe devil is a spirit and can die.

after He has taken away the breath that keeps them living! Ecclesiastes 12:7 smiley

Smile....see twisting.

God says the spirit returned to Him not that He took it away. Or you know more than God?

1. First, the story is a parable and not meant to be literally interpreted. Second, the answer to why the rich man character in the story would end up in the Old Law Hell is found in Ezekiel 18 vs 1 - 32 & Ezekiel 33 vs 10 - 20. Third, in consonance with scripture, Hell for those of Old condemned to die is perishing in the grave --- they cease to exist when they die - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 & Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22. undecided

2. What evidence do you have that proves to you that you are in fact born-again in keeping with the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ? Do you have the evidence that Jesus Christ proclaimed all who are born-again will have in John 3 vs 1 - 21, or are you of the mind that the process is whole of mental assent? undecided

Jesus Christ, throughout His Gospel, employed the use of parables in teaching His followers about the Kingdom of God. From the teachings of Jesus Christ, we understand that no man has ever been granted access into the place of Eternal Reward or the place of Eternal damnation even to this day, since Jesus Christ said no man will go there until after He returns and judges the goats and sheep in His Kingdom. undecided

Number one, whenever JESUS speaks in parable, the Bible clearly state it down: "And He spake a parable unto them..." Rather He said: "There was a certain rich man..."
Secondly: Abraham is a man that lived and served GOD faithfully, he existed and cannot be made into a parable.
Thirdly: Before the death of Christ, righteous men who died were taken to the bosom of Abraham while unrighteous men were sent to hell. JESUS gave us a clear picture of hell in several portions of the Bible.

1. That is not true at all. A parable is not a story that first has to be introduced as such. undecided

2. There is no rule that says a man who once existed cannot be mentioned in a parable. Plants and animals that exist or existed are mentioned in parables, so who told you that men who once existed cannot be mentioned in parables? undecided

3. Not necessarily true at all. They slept in their graves same as righteous men who died before Abraham did. There were righteous men like Abel, and Noah, who died before Abraham, you know. undecided

4. That clear picture of Hell, and Heaven that Jesus Christ gave includes the fact that no person will ever enter into it until after He has returned and judged all the goats and sheep in His flock - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 and John 5 vs 19 - 29 and John 14 vs 1 - 6. He clearly explained that Hell(Eternal Damnation) and Heaven(Eternal Reward) both exist in the Kingdom of God over which He rules as King and judge over. So, any picture of the Kingdom of God that alters the above cannot be considered a true picture. undecided

5. I don't follow. Did Samuel say that he had been brought up from heaven or from hell--- both in the Kingdom of God --- when Saul had his Spirit called up? undecided
