Parables are real, you are totally correct. A clear reflection of eternal life and eternal destruction is what I gave in that scriptures. Some of these people who come online to feign ignorance are pretenders, they are not Christians, they move from thread to thread to cause confusion. Imagine him telling me that it's a mere parable. The very words of Jesus is what he feels isn't a lesson. I thought they were genuinely in need of knowledge, but I realized they are not, they just move from thread to thread to fool' themselves.

Perhaps.

But if the soul perishes in hell, does it mean that it is dead? The bible is contradicting itself. Hell is suppose to be a place of torment, not a graveyard. If souls are going to die in hell then why the wailing and gnashning of teeth as we were told.

Revelations was originally not a part of the bible. Thats where all this confusion is coming from

languishes (in a place of destruction, devastation and torment) should be a better expression for that.

LilMissFavvy:
Read vs 37, and see the question Jesus asked. Jesus asked what a man can give in exchange to his soul, of course the disciples understood that question, that Jesus was trying to say that no loss on earth, can be greater the loss of having your soul lost in eternal damnation of hell.

Quite true. But I have these to add:
1. The word soul is used severally in scripture and can mean two things : a) an embodiment of life. b)the seat of thoughts,will and emotions.
It takes discernment to rightfully divide the Word.

2. My second input is that any and every term/element of a scriptural parable is real both literally and symbolically.

3. Heaven is real, hell is real.Jesus preached of a blissful heaven and warned against a hell with gnashing of teeth and weeping. Any1 that believes otherwise should consider this:
Has Jesus ever used a fictional element in his parables? No. Heaven/hell are as real as pearls,corn, mustard,bread,etc

I'm in no position to Judge such. Especially when I know that 1Corinthians15:29 is still in the Bible.

for context, study:
1Peter3:21ESV
Also read through 1Corinthians15:12-29 .

3. MODESTY
modesty in this context is not just defined in terms of a particular kind of dress. what may excite a person in one place may not excite another person with a different background: However, there is always an acceptable set of clothing that defines modesty in every country and at every time. Modesty starts from the heart : the diligent zeal to honour God with your body.
Happy New Month.

2. UNCLOTHEDNESS ALONE IS NOT SINFUL.
(READ THROUGH TO UNDERSTAND)
Like someone stated that God created man naked. True: but He has a purpose for it which is unique personal beauty and intimacy in marriage. You shouldn't consciously expose your unclothedness to someone you don't want to excite sexually. Every creation of God has its use. Just as hunger makes food valuable, and sleep makes bed valuable ; the body makes cloth of great value Just like you keep your mouth clean , you are meant to keep your appearance modest.

in addition
1. CLOTHING IS GOD'S IDEA.
In the beginning, God created man to be clothed with what God is clothed with; The Glory of God. Even when man sinned and that manifest glory departed, the first proper material clothing was designed by God.

Probably because new airborne inventions/robots/drones/etc are seldom tried out in this part of the globe. My take though.

LilMissFavvy:
I think you are correct...... '' and they gave forth their lots, and the lots fell on Mathias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles".

Exactly.

PastorAIO

1. You are just trying out some new words.
2. You seem to derive joy in kindling strife.
3. You seem to make many a feeble argument.
4. You speak with ignorance and nonchalance about the Holy Spirit.

For the above reasons, i don't think it's wise to throw words back n' forth with you. I may remain silent to your mentions on this topic hereafter, High probability ~ besides a Nairalander has already summarised the Truth for u. but you still argued.

LilMissFavvy:
Casting lots was used mostly in the old testament, before Christ's death/resurection. Of course after Christ's death/resurection, there were a lot of changes in how things were done. I agree that casting lots is found in very many verses in the old testament. The disciples did not receive the holy ghost baptism during the time they cast lots to chose Mathias. As at that time Jesus only promised them that he will baptise them with the holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, so that the holy spirit will be teaching them what they need to know and give answers to their enquiries ( Acts 1:4- 8 ). Thereafter, the disciples did not cast lots again, I stand to be corrected.

Good.
Besides, I believe the casting of lot in this context (Acts1:26) is same as voting.
