Please make your points. Thnks. How Family smiley
Yep, I know I mentioned allah, some claim that he is the one that gave the book in which those commands are recorded. And also that that book has been currupted by humans.


But I believe it was jehovah that gave those commands, and he is the almighty God not allah. Only after these issue is cleared can it be easy to go into details of the command

@ muttleylaff

Thank you but keep ''He died'' to yourself and next time don't give me unsolicited answers
Bro, jesus died, ill tell you or anyone else what I believe in not minding if its solicited or unsolicited.
Rom 4:25
If you dnt believe that, let's hear ur view.

Fair enough and thank you for your blunt and honest answer
Do you agree with my answers and the scriptures I quoted to support it?

OK, do you agree that Jesus when on Earth did teaching and preaching?
Now differentiate teach and
preach - what is teaching and
preaching?
Nota bene, after you, about the
latter, I too will give mine
I do not know or understand why you asked these question .

Guess who the lame clapping is for, guess who the joker painted face is
Apart from the one or two edits, are you honestly, taking the credit for all this?
You asked me about my view, about my beliefs and what I know about hades. What I posted to you Is what I believed in and it is supported by numerous scriptural passages. If you have contrary view , let us know. If you dnt agree with my explanations on the scriptures I quoted . Quote it and let's here ur views.
I'm not a scorlar, I'm still learning. And this is not a debate on who knows things or how to write things better. We are discussing using the scriptures as guide. If there is anything you feel is wrong about my post, let's here it. Never said the words in my post where entirely my creation, but they are words that I have total belief for in their arrangements.

Ah, I now know what I am against, and know about your water hole too. No wonder.
I'm not against you.
Its good you have some knowledge about My "water hole".

Why am I not surprised you say this
You've probably by now
changed your tune about this
after your describing teach and preach above
No changing of tune, if I'm wrong, let's hear you.

I suggest you scrutinize the TEACHING given by Jesus in LUKE 24: 19-31 properly
yourself, instead of studying the passage with those JW
spectacles you have on
pls quote the scripture and tell us how it proves my views and scripture I quoted Wrong.
How it answers, solves or change my statements.

At that time Jesus went down there, the Bible never says repentance is not possible for those down in Hades.
And did the bible ever made mention of repentance possible for those in hades before of after jesus went there?

Did the bible ever made mention of those in hades repenting before or after jesus went there?

Did the bible ever give us an example of just one person who repented in hades and changed his flight ticket?

What did the bible say about the condition or state of man in sheol.?

"And just as it is appointed for
man to die once, and after that
comes judgment,"
No chance for you to repent after you are dead. If that possibility is there. I bet you , no one will remain there for it to give up later.

Answering this, depends on which timeframe you're asking this question about, besides time will tell
Us any time frame you like to answer the, but also use the scriptures.

So you admit and agree there were attempts to change: one for him and the other when
looking out for his five brothers
My statement is plain and simple, "That someone is said to try vigorously does not mean it is possible."
If you think I'm wrong , let us know if you know it possible with scriptural proof added .

This is why I earlier remarked: Classic example of an inverted ''be careful what you wish for'' (it might just happen, you just
might get it!)
Bro, And if its not possible to
repent in hades and change
ones flight plan, why the
preaching then!

I said park 1 Peter 4 :6, it was premature pulling it out, besides it was out you badgering I gave you it
The scripture you quoted does not negate my explanation on 1 peter 4:6, if it does , let us hear ur explanation.

I asked you to gnaw on it because it will be a springboard into more details about Sheol
And I asked you to confirm some words in that verse so that we can "gnaw " on it.
Check the questions I asked again.
You and I, both know, this piece from you, lacks originality
What I stated/posted is the truth. It is surported with the scriptures.
If I'm wrong , tell us What ur view is and what you understand by the scriptures I mentioned.

Nonetheless read about the etymology of Hades I earlier shared a nd see how we
diverge what is Hades? - Here we go again
Hades is the abode of the dead
and it is located in Sheol
- it's like saying Lagos is in
Naija
Use the scriptures to surpport this view of urs. That hades is in sheol.

Hell which has become
synonymous with Hades, is
neither Hebrew or Greek in
origin Sheol is, what you'll find in the original Hebrew text for
any word for Hell In other places, Hades or Hell was the Greek substitution for the part of Sheol where the Rich man is from the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
The original manuscripts made no mention of sheol in any relation to the rich man or lazarus.

As a matter of fact, Hell
actually finds it roots in the
classic Greek mythology,
Hades where Hades interestingly and actually, was the ancient Greek god of the underworld.
This god's name (i.e. Hades)
later turned to mean the place
or abode of the dead, which
actually is exactly what Sheol
is, what is signifies or
represents.
Good.



Talking about Gehenna, well it is a valley, a valley in
Jerusalem, used as a dumping
refuse site and so was used by
Jesus to depict the Lake of fire
(i.e. it is a place of destruction,
as in, via incineration, a place
for destroying things)
As earlier mentioned, Gehenna
was the incinerating refuse
dump in Jerusalem
Hades however, historically
and originally is the name of a
Greek god until it got turned
to meaning the place or
abode of the dead
It later got interchanged with
hell, which is from a German
word root
Good.

It was bible translators who were substituing the original Hebrew word Sheol (i.e. the part where the dead of the Rich man sort are), with Greek counterparts Hades/Hell that made hell stick with us today
Where is hades used to replace sheol? . Who did the replacement ? , and is he correct or right to do so.? Remember I told you what the writer of acts did with a hebrew text where sheol was mentioned.


I can draw you further in with unadulterated info on Sheol, but these small and sliced up bits, so far should suffice else you'll throw up or choke on the chunkier others
Thanks for caring about my welfare.

Your ''view'' on Hades is clearly whack and you aren't totally familiar with this whole Sheol territory business
It can be whack from human standpoint. But from the scritural standpoint , it is totally true. I follow scriptural explanation.

You do realise, I was serving
back to you there with jest, your remark about the key

No one is not imply anything
anywhere.
We are exercising deductive
reasoning based on other
scripture
So there are keys, but now dont
start again, asking me for the
scriptures about keys or about
the key
For a change, do some proper
and serious work yourself, as I
haven't the appetite now to
spoon feed.
Fact: jesus did not go to hades to collect any key from anyone .

I've done enough study to explain to you what "having the key of death and hades " means.

Make your mind up
I dnt think I've said something contrary to what I've been saying before .

Easy tiger! You're trying to go cerebral on me now but just made a right mess with a
remark such as this
The post is not primarily for you alone, its also for others to see, do personal study to confirm and then believe. Your personal view of the post is not important if not supported by the scriptures


This is a weak answer
I was expecting a robust
answer. Something like, the
bible states that the ANGELS
CARRIED him over
An answer like that, would've
then prompted me next asking
you: How did the Rich Man then get to Hades?
Bro, the truth(s) in the Bible are like pearls mixed in with a lot of worthless pebbles.
so the onus rests on you to sift
through a lot of stuff, pick things up, look at them and when you stumble on pearls, then dust them down, wipe and brush them until they bring out the shine, the luster, the sparkle and the light in them.
In ur eyes it can be weak, but in mine it is the truth!.
If you have a strong contrary answer, pls let's hear it.
Pls show us the pearls that you have found , the one the bible has mixed in with a lot of worthless pebbles!.

2- God is God
3- That's not for me to answer. The Christians should then after I will raise my points.

Mine is just that is Bible the word of God?
You believe in God.
Your God does not have a name.

1. Well let me answer for some people, the God that gave those command is allah.
And you will agree with them unless you believe that their are other Gods or that the command Is false and man made and not from the "God that is God"

2. to answer for myself, the God in the bible is not allah. And the command are not man made fabrications.

So to you, which one of these is correct. When we get these out of the way, we can then look into those scriptures.
Christianity EtcRe: If The Mortal Body Will Die And Decompose, What Will Then Burn In Hell? by dolphinheart(m): 5:46pm On Sep 29, 2015
@ muttleylaff

Hold on to your knickers bro. Dont get too excited with that, No!, of yours
Let's first outline out how far we both agree
Do you agree or not that Jesus
went down to Hades?
Yes, as said before, jesus went down to hades. He died.

Do you agree or not that Jesus
''preached'' down there?
As said earlier, I do not agree or belief that jesus preached their(in hades), and added scriptures to support my beliefs.

Let's start with showing show hands on how much of Hades there is to know:
What do you know about
Hades (i.e. talk of its layout,
give a description of it and its
environ)
Hades is the common
transliteration into English of the corresponding Greek word
haiʹdes. It perhaps means “the
unseen place.”
In all, the word “Hades” occurs ten times in the earliest manuscripts of the
Christian Greek Scriptures

The King James Version
translates haiʹdes as “hell” in
these texts, but the Revised
Standard Version renders it
“Hades,” with the exception of
Matthew 16:18, where “powers
of death” is used, though the
footnote reads “gates of Hades.”

“Hades” rather than “hell” is used in many modern translations.
The Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (from Genesis to Malachi) uses the word “Hades” 73 times, employing it 60 times to translate the Hebrew word sheʼohlʹ,
commonly rendered “Sheol.”

The writer of Acts, definitely showed Hades to be the Greek equivalent of Sheol when he translated Peter’s quotation from Psalm 16:10. (Ac 2:27)

In all but two cases in which the word Hades is used in the
Christian Greek Scriptures it is
related to death, either in the
verse itself or in the immediate
context.

Hades does not refer to a single grave (Gr., taʹphos),
or to a single tomb (Gr.,
mneʹma), or to a single memorial tomb (Gr., mne·meiʹon), but to the common grave of mankind,
where the dead and buried ones are unseen. It thus signifies the same as the corresponding word
“Sheol,” and an examination of
its use in all its ten occurrences bears out this fact. (go check the occurence of "hades" and "sheol".note: one is Greek and the other hebrew word)

The sea (which at times serves
as a watery grave for some) is
mentioned in addition to Hades
(the common earthen grave), for the purpose of stressing the inclusiveness of all such dead ones when Revelation 20:13, 14 says that the sea, death, and Hades are to give up or be emptied of the dead in them.( note, it said hades, if hades is a part of sheol, this verse does not include the other part their.)
Thereafter, death and Hades
(but not the sea) are cast into
“the lake of fire,” “the second
death.” They thereby figuratively ‘die out’ of existence, and this signifies the end of Hades (Sheol), the common grave of mankind, as well as of death inherited through Adam.

What do you think the alleged preach was all about?
there was/is no "preach in hades".

Unlike you, the Rich man doesnt see his situation as hopeless.
He didnt easily give up and he
had a different opinion to yours His fighting spirit is evident and especially noticed reading the two efforts made by him in Luke 16:24 and Luke 16:27-28, 30 So he cried out,
'Father Abraham, have mercy
on me and send Lazarus to dip
the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue.
For I am in agony in this fire.'
- Luke 16:24
27“He answered, ‘Then I beg
you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
28 for I have five brothers. Let
him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
30 “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he
said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will
repent .’
- Luke 16:27-28, 30
Classic example of an inverted
''be careful what you wish for'' (it might just happen, you just might get it!)
Using the rich mans quest to change his situation does not answer, solve or change my statement. My statement is "unless we belief that their is a
possibility of those in Hades
repenting and thus they can
change their destination".
Now is there a possibility for them to repent and change their condition in hades?, do you have a scriptural example of someone successfully achieving this?
That someone is said to try vigorously does not mean it is possible. And if its not possible to repent in hades and change ones flight plan, why the preaching then!

Good try, good try brother, for the moment park 1 Peter 4:6 Instead gnaw on this ''bone'' And he preached to those souls who were held in Sheol, - 1 Peter 3:19
Aramaic Bible in Plain English
1. Bro, I believe we are discussing and not trying to make a point by any means. the scripture you quoted does not negate my explanation on
1 peter 4 :6

2. Pls go read the scriptures again and tell us if the original word translated to "soul" is used there. Same with "sheol".

Below are some translations in which the words are different and contrary to the one you quoted above.

1.New International Version
After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits--

2.New Living Translation
So he went and preached to the spirits in prison--

3.English Standard Version
in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison,


4.New American Standard Bible
in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

5.King James Bible
By which also he went and
preached unto the spirits in
prison;

Since you quoted this verse, pls tell us which of these translations is correct and why, so we can fully understand the truth on what is being said in that verse.
A.Did the verse mention hell or hades or sheol.
B. Did the verse mention soul?
C. Did the verse(s)(before and after) indicate that this event happened when jesus was dead? Or after his resurrection.?

After you have checked this out(what the verse said), we can then "gnaw"(look) into what that verse is telling us.(understanding and meaning)

This remarkable coming from someone that doesnt believe hades is a part of sheol, nor believes sheol has parts, that it is my view
Since Hades refers to the
common grave of mankind, a
place rather than a condition,
Jesus entered within “the gates of Hades” when buried by Joseph of Arimathea. On
Pentecost of 33 C.E., Peter said of Christ: “Neither was he
forsaken in Hades nor did his
flesh see corruption. This Jesus God resurrected, of which fact we are all witnesses.” ( Ac 2:25-27, 29-32; Ps 16:10)
Whereas “the gates of
Hades” ( Mt 16:18) were still
holding David within their domain in Peter’s day ( Ac 2:29), they had swung open for Christ Jesus when his Father resurrected him out of Hades.
Thereafter, through the power of the resurrection given him ( Joh 5:21-30), Jesus is the Holder of “the keys of death and of Hades.”— Re 1:17, 18.


I know the verse did not say He got these keys in Hades or Abrahams bosom or Sheol or
Hell, so the keys surely were
obtained by means of
abracadabra then.
So as the verse did not say so, we should likewise not imply so.

They where not obtained by means of abracadabra.
They where obtained by the power of resurrection, the ability to bring one out(opening the gates for someone to come out) of hades.

Clowning aside, please answer this question, how did Lazarus, as in, the Poor Man get over to Abraham's side?
According to the illustration, he died.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Bible The Word Of God? The Bible And Paedophilia. by dolphinheart(m): 3:57pm On Sep 29, 2015
mubarakopeyemi:
Actually, Pedophilia was born from this book of perversion. Let us see some passages that clearly support Pedophilia and Rape of preteen girls

Numbers 31: 17-18

17. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.


The Jewish soldiers were commanded by “God” in the bible to keep the woman children (little girls) for themselves! In addition, they were commanded to kill every woman that hath know a man by lying with him. How these soldiers in those days know if the girls are virgin or not? Simply they verify it by raping them and if the Jews discovered that they are non-virgins then they kill them as they were commanded by “God”.

But the most outrageous is that the Bible imply that God is a Pedophile himself! (Astagfirullah)

Numbers 31: 25-40 (NLT)

[b]25. And the Lord said to Moses,
26. “You and Eleazar the priest and the family leaders of each tribe are to make a list of all the plunder taken in the battle, including the people and animals.
27. Then divide the plunder into two parts, and give half to the men who fought the battle and half to the rest of the people.
28. From the army’s portion, first give the Lord his share of the plunder—one of every 500 of the prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.
29. Give this share of the army’s half to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord.
30. From the half that belongs to the people of Israel, take one of every fifty of the prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give this share to the Levites, who are in charge of maintaining the Lord’s Tabernacle.”
31. So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32The plunder remaining from everything the fighting men had taken totaled 675,000 sheep and goats,
33. 72,000 cattle,
34. 61,000 donkeys,
35. and 32,000 virgin girls.
36Half of the plunder was given to the fighting men. It totaled 337,500 sheep and goats,
37. of which 675 were the Lord’s share;
38. 36,000 cattle, of which 72 were the Lord’s share;
39. 30,500 donkeys, of which 61 were the Lord’s share;
40.[size=13pt] and 16,000 virgin girls, of whom 32 were the Lord’s share[/b]. [/size]

In the verse 35 we are told that Jews caught as booty 32.000 preteen girls for themselves.

All these violence??

The verse 40 is to dedicate the little girls (of women that had not known man by lying with him-32 of them)
to“God”! As God, himself commanded above that wants these preteen girls. Indeed clear perversion, God in the bible want for himself 32 little girls, why? Maybe to do what his soldiers(Jews)to the innocent little girls. Therefore Bible by saing that “LORD'S share of the 16,000 Virgins was thirty two (preteen girls) actually demonstrate the Pedophilic nature of the biblical “God” .

Its a shame
As much as ill like to reply you on the issue above, one needs to first clarify some few things.

1. Do you believe a God, a supreme being exist?.
2. If yes ,what is that Gods name ?.
3. it you believe in a God, is it that same God that gave the command as stated in ur post above? Or another God gave that command .?

one needs to know ur position about the God who gave the command you posted. If you believe the God exist or if the whole command was man made fabrication

@ MuttleyLaff

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead,
that they might be judged
according to men in the flesh,
but live according to God in the spirit. - 1 Peter 4:6
1 Therefore, since Christ
suffered in his body
, arm
yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable
idolatry. 4 They are surprised
that you do not join them in
their reckless, wild living, and
they heap abuse on you. 5 But
they will have to give account
to him who is ready to judge
the living and the dead. 6 For
this is the reason the gospel
was preached even to those
who are now dead, so that
they might be judged
according to human standards
in regard to the body,
but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

1. Does The verse say that jesus went to hades to preach to the dead . No!.

2 we cannot have a belief that jesus went to hades to preach to the dead unless we belief that their is a possibility of those in hades repenting and thus they can change their destination(following ur explanation). For what is the purpose of jesus preaching to them in the first place.

3 so what do we learn from those verses:
Peter called them dead because were ‘dead in trespasses and sins’ before hearing the gospel but would begin to ‘live’ spiritually because of faith in the good
news.

Eph 2:1-7;, you were dead in your transgressions and
sins, 2 in which you used to
live when you followed the
ways of this world
and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh a and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—
it is by grace you have been
saved.

compare Mt 8: 21,22;
21 Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 22 And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

1Ti 5:6.;
6 but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives..
So peter was not talking about the dead in hades cus
preaching would not have
benefited physically dead
humans because, as
Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, they
“are conscious of nothing at
all,”/ know nothing/ do not know anything.
Psalm 146:4 adds that at death a person’s “thoughts do perish.”


I am He who lived and died, and behold, I am alive to the eternity of eternities, amen,
and I have the key of Death and of Sheol. - Revelation 1:18
Bro, jesus has the key of death and of sheol. The verse did not say he got these key in hades or abrahams bosom or sheol or hell.

Where you got that Hades is on fire or burning beats me
Hades is on fire or Hades burning is Greek mythology. That is an imported and non-Jewish concept

Christianity EtcRe: If The Mortal Body Will Die And Decompose, What Will Then Burn In Hell? by dolphinheart(m): 10:59pm On Sep 27, 2015
MuttleyLaff:
Everyone, after drawing their last breath, ends up in Sheol and remain there waiting until boarding to their final and respective destination

Sheol is like being in an airport terminal's departure area
The area where you (i.e. think of the Rich man here) hold your ticket, boarding pass and wait with your luggages before taking a flight to your final destination

Some airlines, as a service to premium or selected passengers operate airline lounges,
providing them with comforts in the lounges beyond those available in the airport terminal's departure area

These choice passengers (e.g. think of Father Abraham and the Poor man here), enjoy plush and more comfortable seating, quieter environments are provided.
Other privileges may include private meeting rooms, telephones, wireless internet access and other business services, along with provision of free drinks and snacks to enhance passenger cobrmfort.
- looks and sounds like a place of bliss, doesnt it?

Sheol too, has a model similar to this:
There is the Rich man's side aka Hades
and there is Abraham's side aka Abraham's bosom aka place of bliss
Bro, but jesus is said to go to this aka hades. The same part where the rich man went.

Christianity EtcRe: If The Mortal Body Will Die And Decompose, What Will Then Burn In Hell? by dolphinheart(m):
@paulgrundy

Q- if the saints of old and present have not gone to heaven as you claim, was Jesus lieing when he told the theif on the cross that he
would be in paradise that day?
luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
It would have been good if you have answered the questions as asked instead of fomulating one you think you can answer.
The Answers to those questions would have gone a long way in answering what happens to man when he dies and after he dies.
your question is flawed cus its based on what you think the verse you quoted says. Stop fomulating questions for urself and answer the ones others asked you.

Answer: there is no justification
whatsoever for alterations or
insertions in the bible, if the
original greek text wasn't
punctuated or spaced, then its
only wise not to use punctuation as basis to justify a doctrine. This calls to question the disrespect
sects have for the bible.
The funny thing about those
promoting "punctuated
interpretation" is that they teach that salvation is gotten through both faith and works. But the theif on the cross did not “work out his salvation“ he only had faith.
Hence pointing out a flaw and
contradicting a very fundamental doctrine of theirs. Which ever way the comma is placed still contradicts it anyway.
1. Did you read ur statement above on punctuation.?
Their is no comma in the Greek text of the bible verse you quoted, but the translation you quoted from did put "comma" in that verse. Therefore if you accuse someone of putting "comma" in a verse, can you not also be accused of putting comma in that verse.
You stated : "if the original greek text wasn't punctuated or spaced, then its only wise not to use punctuation as basis to justify a doctrine."

I will ask you these question, if you like don't answer, but others can draw conclusions from examining the question below :
What is the basis for putting comma before the word "today" as found in ur own translation. Remember, the comma is not in the original text. So why is the comma there if it is not there due to doctrinal beliefs. What grammatical proof do you have.

2. You err when you use ur own understanding to prove that some beliefs are contradictory. If I where you I would first Ask for their understanding of that verse , check if there explanations are true or not before using my own view to state that they where wrong.

3. Some vital question arises from these ur statement: "But the theif on the cross did not “work out his salvation“ he only had faith." , when we look at the thief, his words and jesus reply and what it really means.
The questions are:
(A). did the thief repent?

(B). Was the thief born again ?
(remember jesus explanation of born again to nicodemus)

(C)Do or can you gain salvation by faith alone.?

(D)Is there any example in the scriptures of anyone who had gained imortality or evalasting life just by faith alone?

(E)What does the bible mean when it said the following "faith without works is dead"
James 2: 14-20: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if
someone claims to have faith
but has no deeds? Can such
faith save them? 15 Suppose a
brother or a sister is without
clothes and daily food. 16 If
one of you says to them, “Go
in peace; keep warm and well
fed,” but does nothing about
their physical needs, what
good is it? 17 In the same way,
faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is
dead.
18 But someone will say,
“You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without
deeds, and I will show you my
faith by my deeds. 19 You
believe that there is one God.
Good! Even the demons
believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do
you want evidence that faith
without deeds is useless ?
(some translations use "action" good works"wink.

(F) what happens to those who did not have the oppurtunity to do the will of God because they do not know the will they are to do. They do not know gods commands.

the answers to these questions by you will let others know if what you are saying is true.

Remember Matt 12:50 "whoever does the will of my father". "Does" an action word.
The bible talks about more than one heaven. Apostle paul talked about a 3rd heaven:
I know a man in Christ who
fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or
whether out of the body I do not know, God knows – such a one was caught up in the third
heaven. And I know such a man – whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows – how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.” (II Corinthians 12:2-4).
You did not give explanation on the important parts of the verses you quoted above.

Let's say there are different heavens,
(G)is paradise located in the third heaven or in all the heavens.?
(H)Now if paradise is located in all the heavens, which of the heavens did enoch go to , the first, second or third ?pls add scripture to surpport ur views.

(I) If paradise is located in the third heaven, those in the third heaven, are they resurrected, pls add scriptural proof ?

(J) was it the third heaven that jesus ascended to?

(K) is that paradise that paul made mention of, in heaven where God and other spirit creatures reside?

Your refusal to answer these questions show you have been trying to feed us with false beliefs. Beliefs that cannot stand when being questioned.

It is one thing to quote and mumble scriptures together , it is another thing to use those scriptures to answer questions, expecially when those questions are based on ur views.

You, seeing that you can't explain the scriptures you quoted before, now try to split the heavens into three parts and choose one as the heaven you are trying to refer to.
You do this without explaining where or what that heaven is.
You know that doing so will affect ur explanation of where enoch and faithful men of old went to when they died.

Revelation talked about a first heaven.
Revelation 21:1 - And I saw a
new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
When quoting the scriptures, one needs to add explanation or personal understanding of what the scriptures is saying. The words in the scriptures are not there for us to formulate a theory. They are there for us to understand Gods purpose, ways ,directive and commands.
Tell us what the new heaven and new earth is?. Does it in anyway have a link to ressurection and where we go when we die?

Tell us, what is the first heaven and first earth. If you say there are other heavens because there is a first heaven, can we rightly say there are other earths cus there is a first earth and those earths where 3 in number.

Furthermore, which of the 3 heavens is the new heaven. Or is it a fourth one?

Gen 1;1, 2:1 talked about heaven in plural form. Hence we know there are 3 heavens.
So there are 3 heavens, which is the first ,second and third,? what are they and how do people go to each when they die?.
Do they go to the whole 3 , or go to only one. Pls add scripture to proof these o.


In luke 16 when Jesus talked about Lazarus and the richman, he made mention of Abrahams bosom- which greek and hebrew is translated place of bliss- the same meaning with paradise.
Hence there are strong
indictations he went there. How can else can his absence from the tomb be explained on the first day of the week mary came there. Jesus obviously was with the right hand theif in abrahams bosom/paradise/second heaven.
So the paradise is the second heaven now, its no longer the third heaven as you claim apostle paul said.continu!.


Let's even follow ur explanation , did those who go to abrahams bossom die before going there? The answer is yes ! . Why do you then find it hard to accept what paul said in Hebrews, that all the faithful ones of old died! Including enoch. For if you claim they went to abraham bossom, they must die before going there.

Pls show us how "abrahams bossom is translated to "place of bliss" in Greek and hebrew.
Pls tell us , what the Greek and hebrew word for "abraham bossom is" so that we can translate it with you.

The word found in the Greek
text for "bosom" is kolpos ,
meaning "lap" "bay".[1] This
relates to the Second Temple
period practice of reclining and
eating meals in proximity to
other guests, the closest of
whom physically was said to lie on the bosom (chest) of the
host.

The kolpos (Greek: κόλποις
κόλπον κόλπῳ, a gulf, bay or
creek) is the blousing[1] of a
peplos, chiton or tunic in
Ancient Greek clothing,
whereby excess length of the
material hangs folded over a
zone (a narrow girdle).

http://biblehub.com/greek/2859.htm.

Note : some translation did not say "abrahams bossom",they said "abrahams side", "bossom of abraham" , "to be with abraham". Therefore ur attempt to say "abrahams bosom " means "place of bliss" is wrong

You can see that ur attempt to link paradise, abrahams bosom and second or third heaven(depending on which one you finally arrive at) is false, wrong and full of holes.

You said jesus went to hell.
You said enoch and old saints went to heaven .
Where or what is the heaven that enoch went to?. Do you die before you go to that heaven.?
Are you ressurected before you go to that heaven?
Are you saying that heaven is in hell?

You urself keep showing that ur beliefs are wrong . Look at what you have been saying since and see if they are in harmony. And pls when posting , dnt use ur speculations as facts

Yep, I do mean the bold.
All these post they are posting is an attempt to take one away from the questions asked. They did not realise that they will hook themselves further with their scripture quotes.

Imagine, they both want to be entertained, or probably its just one person that wants to be entertained on two different monikers.
Paulgrundy had at one time posted he was paul grundy and he owns the website. Only for him to start speaking pidgin.

He put a picture of someone else(an oyinbo ) with a child that is not his. putting someone else picture in ur moniker shows you have no character .

He also will not tell you his religious affliation or church he attends.


Modified: I've given then an explanation, its now left for them to proove that jesus went to heaven that day!. Just wait for there answer on these and compare it to what paulgrundy has been saying since.

dolhinheart, captivator, jozzy and co,

i have another scripture for you to twist.

if the saints of old and present have not gone to heaven as you claim, was jesus lieing when he told the theif on the cross that he would be in paradise that day?

luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, [size=20pt]today[/size] you will be with me in paradise."

lemme entertain myself with comedic responses.
You have refused to answer questions posed to you.
You have refused to explain bible scriptures read out to you.
You keep on bringing different bibles verses while refusing to explain previous verses in which you found urself hooked and ur views contradictory.

Now you bring on this verse, thinking it will save you. Readers are not gullible, they follow the thread, they know who views are like a house made of cards. Ill encourage you to address the numerous questions you have been asked.

Read this sadculled from a website)
Most Bible versions translate
Christ's words to the convicted
criminal being crucified with Him similar to the New King James Version: “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). Many people think Jesus assured the man he would go to heaven with
Him that very day. But is this
really what He meant?

Although it is a strong supporting factor, the fundamental understanding of this passage does not rest solely on the misplacement of a comma in English translations. Certainly the true meaning would be better
understood if the comma were
correctly placed after the word
today . However, other rules of
sound Bible study also help us to understand Luke 23:43.

We need to first understand that original texts of the Bible (Greek for the New Testament and Hebrew and some Aramaic for the Old Testament) used
no punctuation.

As Dr. E.W. Bullinger explains in The Companion Bible: “None of our modern marks of punctuation are found [in Bible texts] until the ninth century . . . The punctuation
of all modern editions of the
Greek text, and of all versions
made from it, rests entirely on
human authority, and has no
weight whatever in determining or even influencing the interpretation of a single passage” (1990, Appendix 94, p. 136, emphasis in original).

In most cases translators and
publishers of the Bible have done an admirable job using
punctuation to clarify the
meaning of the Scriptures, but
this is one case where their
doctrinal bias has regrettably
obscured the meaning of Christ's words. By placing a comma before “today” in Christ's statement to the dying man rather than after it, they have Jesus saying something He never intended.

We know this because the Bible clearly says Jesus Himself did not go to paradise or heaven on the day He died! Instead He died and was buried in the grave.

Notice the apostle Paul's clear
statement in 1 Corinthians
15:3-4: “For I delivered to you
first of all that which I also
received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the
Scriptures” (emphasis
added throughout).

Notice what Christ told Mary
soon after He had been
resurrected: “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father” ( John 20:17). A full three days after His death, Jesus Himself clearly said that He had not yet ascended to heaven!
Jesus had earlier plainly said
that He would lay in the grave for three days and three nights
( Matthew 12:40). The Scriptures nowhere say that His body was buried but His soul went elsewhere. Jesus died and was buried. He went only to the grave. Therefore the dying criminal could not have been with Jesus in heaven that day, because Jesus Himself did not go there then.

If Jesus was not telling the man he would be in heaven or
paradise on that day, what was
He telling him?

A fundamental principle for
sound Bible study is to carefully check the context. Notice thespecific wording of the man's request: “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” (Luke 23:42). Notice that the thief expressed no expectation of immediately going to heaven with Jesus at the moment they died.

You urself , paulgrundy said jesus went to hell.

Ur contradictions are mounting with the scriptures you urself posted , yet ur aim is to entertain urself and not to face the truth.

Yooguyz:
@paulGrundy, after you addressed that;



dolphinbrain got to dead end, and changed his stance;



grin grin grin
this is actually the first time i've seen changed his stance in an argument, boy that was tough. never knew you had a deep knowledge of the scriptures. thumbs up.
Hello youguyz( the gay oriented pastor)

I read ur post and wondered how I changed my stance. will like you to reply on that.

The issue was not about ressurection, the issue was about ressurection to heaven . Trying to defend firstfruits with ressurection before kesus is false and bad knowledge about the scriptures. Hence I asked him several questions.

There are several questions posed to paulgrundy in my post which you quoted.
The one about being ressurected with inperishable body was not answered by him.
You defend him, can you help him answer those questions ?

The questions are :
1.That it also means that they
have already been judged ?
2.If so, who will later be righteous and unrighteous that are ressurected in the last day?
3. Who will hades and the sea
give up later, when they are
not there any longer.?
4.Are you saying there are two
judgements, one immediately
after death and the other
later ?


Youguyz, Jesus is the first to be resurrected with an in perishable body.
All others ressurected before jesus, died !.
Non who died and where ressurected before jesus came is said to have ascended to heaven after they where resurrected.
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

The facts above are from the bible . I did not suggest them.

So the manner at which jesus was ressurected is different from the temporary ressurection of those before him , that is why the bible said jesus is the first , firstborn, firstfruit of those to be ressurected.
And other faithful disciples of his hope to be ressurected in such manner so as to also have a divine nature, an imortal being.

Watchtower Announcing
Jehovah's Kingdom is an
illustrated religious magazine,
published semimonthly in 251
languages by Jehovah's
Witnesses via the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and printed in
various branch offices around
the world. Along with its
companion magazine, Awake!,

The Watchtower —Public Edition is the most widely circulated magazine in
the world, with an average print run of nearly 53,000,000 copies per month.

all involved are volunteers. they are not there for money

Unlike some religious books where the authors have their names boldly written for recognition and showmanship, The names of the authors (except in first- person life stories), and other publishing staff are never included in the magazine. they do their work not for public praise.

Since the first issue of The
Watchtower in 1879, with 6,000
copies printed, circulation of
The Watchtower continued to
increase, and the magazine
has not missed an issue. (Can you beat that!, over hundred years and no issue is missed)

The magazine is printed in
nineteen different countries
about 25% of the total is printed at one of the organization's printeries in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
(go to eigeduma, edo state and see how work is done in a peaceful and beautiful environment.

The Public Edition has an
average monthly print run of
about 53,000,000 copies,
making it the magazine with the largest circulation in the world.

The magazine is distributed by
Jehovah's Witnesses, who
consider their preaching work
to be a public service.

From March 1, 1990, the
journals were made available at no cost, on a freewill donation basis in the United States, with the stated purpose of simplifying their Bible
educational work and
distinguishing themselves from those who commercialize
religion. The article "Use
Our Literature Wisely", which
appeared in the May 1990
issue of Our Kingdom Ministry,
stated that "there are growing
pressures against all religious
elements" and went on to say
that their main concern was to
move ahead in the worldwide
preaching work, "without
hindrance."

The sale of Jehovah's
Witnesses' literature was
gradually phased out in other
countries, and The Watchtower
has been distributed free of
charge worldwide since
January 2000, its printing being funded by voluntary donations from Jehovah's Witnesses and members of the public.

All these achievement from an organization that does not collect tithe or force its members to make offerings.

They do their work willingly and happily ,just as true christians are supposed to do, going from house to house as jesus commanded, not in private jets, armoured jeeps or expensive worldly materials.

These good news must be preached in all the earth, and then the end will come

After Jesus’ death and resurrection, his disciples
continued to preach “from house to house.” ( Acts 5:42) As Jesus did, they too preached in informal settings and in public places. ( John 4:7-26; 18:20; Acts 17:17)

Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses use those same methods to preach to all people.

Jesus indicated that not
everyone would listen. (Matthew 10:14; 24:37-39) .

But I will continue to preach , to save myself and those who listen to me.

The Quran is very fine. And it addressed issues in the best way. About those historical parts forget about it. History is also on it's side.

Let's just close this issue.
I won't further on this whole discourse.
Let everyone believe whatever he or she wants to.
Thanks.
More than 100!!?
Mention Just one pls,and let's analyse it here.

I said the koran is not specific on certain issues. There are some things that happened that specific info are left out.
For example is the issue of who you fight.
I once asked a Muslim to explain, using the koran, how abraham tried to sacrifice ishmeal. But he could not. Can you? .

@ paulgrundy

but i can suggest where he was taken too-- God took him to your backyard.
Bro, use scriptural facts to support ur suggestion, do not use suggestions as the foundation of ur beliefs.
1. The scripture did not say where God took enoch .
2. Apostle paul said he died like all other faithful men he mentioned.
3. Apostle paul said he, like all other faithful men did not receive the promise when they died, but saw it afar off.

A good Christian will look at these facts as stated in the bible and explain it, Yet you keep suggesting otherwise without giving ur own view of the scriptures quoted to you.

if old covenant cleansing is not enough to enter heaven, by your statement you are implying
that those in faith's hall of fame who died before Jesus won't make heaven (acording to your position).
I restate again :
1. It was shown to you with
scripture that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of
God.
2. It was shown to you with
scripture that enoch and all
other faithful men of old died
and did not receive the
promise.
3. It was shown to you that the
ransom had to be payed
before the inheritance can be
achieved.
4. It was shown to you that the
old covenant and its cleasing
of sin process was not good
enough to enter heaven.

Does not all the points shown to you show you that prior to the establishment of the new covenant , no imperfect human can enter heaven?.
They died like adam died, they return to dust like adam did. On that day they died, their thoughts do perish.

They can only make heaven only if they are part of the first resurrection.
Now who is part of the first resurrection and who is not, but part of other resurrection. These question I have asked you and u refused to answer. Answering that question will help you to understand who goes or is in heaven.

As at when this verse was written , David did not ascend to heaven
Acts 2:34: For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand.

oga some folks has
ressurected and been to
heaven before the
commencement of the new
covenant. mattew 27. hence
you points hold no water.
Show us where it is stated that they were resurrected to heaven.
My point is based on a scripture where it is said that God told adam where he came from and where it will go to when he dies. Yet you suggest otherwise and still refuse to address that scripture.

Are you deliberately misreading my quotes or you don't understand or even read them @ all.
this was what i said;
Q1: does John 3:13 mean that
no man has literally ascended
to heaven?
Answer: that scripture if taken
literally is inaccurate because,
saints have gone to heaven,
mark 12:26-27, luke 9:28-36.
Enoch and Elijah were taken
up without dying Genesis
5:24, heb 11:5, 2kings 2:11.
What then was Jesus talking
about?
In v10-12, of John 3 we see
that Jesus was talking about
his authority and validity of his
teaching. Jesus tells
Nicodemus that he has been
teaching what he knew first
hand v11, then in v13 he
explains why he is uniquely
qualified to teach of the
kingdom-[i] because he alone came down from heaven [/ i]and possess the knowledge to teach people about heaven.
Jesus was claiming diety.
Q2: is Jesus the first person to
rise from the dead?
any way am not suprised. like
watchtower like jehovah
witness.
John 3:13 :No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

Ur statement : because he alone came down from heaven and possess the knowledge to teach people about heaven.

Conclusion: jesus alone has ascended and descended.

If my conclusion is wrong , pls. Re -explain the part "no one has ascended to heaven except .." and let's see if it wunt contradict ur explanation on moses and elijah.

Pls answer the questions posed to you a while ago.

so now the problem is how you want it rendered. interesting. just so you know scriptures are read in their context. ok lemme give another point to attack in v5 of mattew 17, a voice spoke out of heaven which said this is my beloved son in whom am well pleased-- the same thing that happened when Jesus was baptized. can we say that Jesus' baptism was a supernal vision too?
Oga, dnt change the topic, dnt start another attack when one has not been cleared yet.
I've given you instances where "horama" is translated as "vision" in the scriptures versions you quoted.
I've explained what "horama" is.
Yet you say I lie that jesus did not say "vision" when it is glaring that it is you that does not read ur bible.

Pls explain what jesus said to nicodemus and elijah and moses coming to meet jesus and let's see if it wunt contradict it and the holes filled with speculations.
Christianity EtcRe: If The Mortal Body Will Die And Decompose, What Will Then Burn In Hell? by dolphinheart(m): 5:50am On Sep 24, 2015
paulGrundy:
there are two greek renderings of the word- vision;

@ paulgrundy
Those using being born again as the only criteria to make heaven (before Jesus).
Have forgotten Enoch abi??
Who walked with God and God
took him away, did he give his
life to Jesus? (Jesus hadn't yet
come in flesh).
You have been giving time and chance to explain jesus statement that one cannot see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. You keep on denying that statement without telling us why.
U use enoch as an excuse, these same enoch in which it was not mentioned in the scriptures how and where he was taken. For ur mind you Just concluded for God that he was taken to heaven despite numerous scripture showing you that was not the case.
It was shown to you with scripture that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
It was shown to you with scripture that enoch and all other faithful men of old died and did not receive the promise.
It was shown to you that the ransom had to be payed before the inheritance can be achieved.
It was shown to you that the old covenant and its cleasing of sin process was not good enough to enter heaven.

Yet you hold on to these false views , you now speculate on time and categories of when and where they where resurrected cus grouping them together into one resurrection will expose you.

God, the creator of adam told adam where he will go to when he dies. Yet you say its a lie and use speculations to determine where adam is.


And to even tell lies on Jesus' head, disgusts me!! ):<
Jesus never called the event
at the transfiguration a
parable or vision! He was
visited live by moses and
Elijah!
See how ur views are now contradicting each other. First jesus is the only man that has ascended and come from heaven. Later abraham and elijah where literarily seen on earth after ascending to heaven .


Abeg, those question I asked are still pending, dnt run away from them .
