malvisguy212:
English do not interpret scripture, Greek and Hebrew do, in that Philippians 2:12 the Greek word for fear can also mean respect.

malvisguy212:
well. the different between my religion and your is that yours is doing and mine is DONE.

malvisguy212:
that's the point. the ark foreshadowed the work of salvation. what if Noah did not enter the Ark ? so you mean because he built ( work) the ark, in anyway he is save ?

malvisguy212:
the good news is by seating on a boat and allow the boat to do all the work. but the unsaved man try to swim from one end to the other by his own strength.

malvisguy212:
the good news the Gospel bring, It bids me fly and gives me wings! Salvation is not WORKING; it is RESTING on the WORK of Another. Salvation is not based on what we might do; it is based on what Christ has ALREADY DONE.

God holiness utterly condemn the best man. God Grace freely justified the worst.

alBHAGDADI:
Was the Ark for eternal salvation or for protection from a temporary flood?

Does Man and Satan have Immortality,?
Millions of dollars are spent annually by government and private firms on research inorder to discover the key to Immortality but the sad truth is that man cannot have Immortality by his our effort.
Man's nature:
People have been erroneously taught that man is made of an immortal soul and spirit that cannot die this is wrong and unbiblical.
In genesis God gave us a blue print on how man was made.
Man was made from the dust and God gave him life (breath/spirit) by breathing into man's nostrils and man became a living soul genesis 2:7.
Satan has promoted the concept or lie that a man does not really die after death but that his soul and spirit lives on this was the very same lie he sold to Eve when he urged her to eat the forbidden fruit.

A major reason for this misunderstanding is that people fail to understand what the Bible refers to as a soul or a spirit.

In the Bible a spirit can refer or mean 3 different things.

*A living being:God is a spirit, Angels,Demons & Satan are spirits Heb12:9,Heb 1:7, Leviticus 20:27

*It can also be used to refer to the breath of life in Man or animals
James 2:26,Job 33:4,Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

*It can also be used to refer to a persons will, capacity, countenance,reasoning, mind,intellect,zeal,thoughts,visions or dreams.Gen6:3,Genesis 41:8, Exdous 31:3,Exdous 35:31.
Isaiah 40:13 ...'Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, ornbeing his counsellor has taught him?'
Romans 11:34 ...'For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?'

Also the Soul in the Bible refers to 3 different things.
* A living person or animal.genesis12:15,genesis 46:18
* Life force or life of a person

Genesis 35:18
* Faculty or reasoning or intellect of a person,mind,thoughts.
songs of Solomon 1:7,3:1, Isaiah 26:8&9.

As we can see no where in the Bible does the spirit or soul of a person mean something that has immortality or that can exist on its own.the Bible also inform us that the Dead know nothing neither there soul or spirit is concoius of anything as erroneously taught to people.
Man is nothing more but clay or dust powered by the spirit of God
Life is what makes us a Soul.

When God created man God made provision for man to have the key to eternal life by giving man access to the tree of life in the garden, genesis 2:9 when man fell God knew that man will perpetuate sin if he lived for ever by having access to the tree of life genesis 3:22-24
So God drove man out of the garden of Eden and placed a flaming sword and Cheribuim to guard the way to the tree of life. In the Bible man is called Mortal man, Job4:17 meaning subject to death.


Satan and God's creations.
God did not create any living being with the capacity to live eternally on it's own the, the Bible declears that only God has Immortality, this means that Satan and man don't have Immortality considering the fact that both man and Satan as well as the Angels and Demons are all created beings who have a beginning and also an end. God alone has Immortality he was neither created or has a beginning or end.1timothy6:16

In Ezekiel 28:14 God passed sentence of death on Satan this confirms the fact that Satan does not have immortality.

God's redemption plan.
When Adam (Man) fell and lost his place in the garden of Eden and hence access to the tree of life death reigned from Adam to the entire human race.Roms5:14 it was God's desire to bring man back to the garden and the only way was for God to send his son(Jesus Christ) to die and shed his blood as an atonement for Man's sin.mark10:45, through the death and ressurection of Jesus man has been given back access to the tree of life Rev2:17, this gift of immortality will be given at the 2nd coming of Jesus precisely at the resurrection of the just.Rev 22:2 & 14,John6:54,John 12:25,John 10:28, John 11:25

In Conclusion.
Neither man or Satan has immortality, only God has Life inherently in him(immortality)
Man's hope of living eternally has been established through the scarifice made by Jesus only Jesus can give man immortality any other means will lead to failure and death. John 6:51,John 6:40

Thank you

Please note this Bible verses on the Soul.
THE SOUL THAT SINS SHALL DIE
Ezek 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezek 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Ezek 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn

ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Psa 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psa 56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that
I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Psa 89:48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?

alBHAGDADI:
So to you, you can build a skyscraper all by yourself without highering labourers. That's good news to you?

Sorry to bust your bubble, God does not give half promises. He does everything once and gives it out in perfection.

alBHAGDADI:
Imagine someone walks up to you and says he wants to give you a 50 storey skyscraper on Eko Atlantic City. He then says you will be the one to build it from scratch i.e dig the foundation, mix the cement bend the irons, mould the blocks and build it up to the 50th floor all by yourself without highering labourers. Will you consider that to be good news?

Now, imagine someone offers you the keys to an already completed skyscraper in Eko Atlantic and says all you have to do is believe it exists. is this good news?

kkins25:
... do note that it was not a penguin taking this pictures.

delishpot:
What kind of scam is this? What shameless display of crookery is this? Father lord, have mercy!

Goshen360:
I saw this on YouTube from one the the bloggers I follow their blog and I was sick to my stomach. Many Christians didn't not even know Jesus had already rendered that pool of Bethesda null and void in his days.

Men like iginla are just merchandise of the Bible

petra1:
Nothing is wrong in blessing a pool for the purpose of healing . But what is wrong is demanding money for it

solite3:
First, the story is never called a parable.

solite3:
Many other of Jesus' stories are designated as parables, such as the sower and the seed (Luke 8:4); the prosperous farmer (Luke 12:16); the barren fig tree (Luke 13:6); and the wedding feast (Luke 14:7)

solite3:
Second, the story of the rich man and Lazarus uses the actual name of a person. Such specificity would set it apart from ordinary parables, in which the characters are not named.

solite3:
Third, this particular story does not seem to fit the definition of a parable, which is a presentation of a spiritual truth using an earthly illustration. The story of the rich man and Lazarus presents spiritual truth directly, with no earthly metaphor. The setting for most of the story is the afterlife, as opposed to the parables, which unfold in earthly contexts.

solite3:
All the things and events that Jesus used to make parables where things or events that truly took place or relate with.
The story of lazarus and the richman does not strike as a parable based on the evidence provided above and even if, still the message is clear heaven and hell are real and all sinners will end up in hell separated from God.

MrBrownJay1:
if you have nothing to write then just be quiet instead of writing arrant rubbish online. we all know your type... hypocrite xtians who selfishly takes from their holy books "only" what fits their deluded agenda!

solite3:
ok yes I answered hurriedly,

solite3:
but you can help me out by providing more text or proof for or against it.

solite3:
How did you know it was a parable?

solite3:
no pls do explain

jamesid29:
I was kinda hoping you would just present your evidence and how you are parsing those passages so we can work thru it together. Im really not interested in a showdown between you and maamin

jamesid29:
If you don't mind, maybe you can share those evidences and how you are parsing the disputed texts that use the words "sons of Elohim" in the OT namely Genesis 6:4, job 1:6,job 2:1 and job 38:7 ... Thanks

jamesid29:
Would be nice to know what you're basing your theory of the Seth line being the Sons of God from an old testament worldview on...

solite3:
John is that disciple whom Jesus loved.

John 19:26-27 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

solite3:
do you know that the story was a real life event?

solite3:
Jesus never uses real names of people to make parables.

Maamin:
And what epistle will you be bugging me out with that i have not seen?

Maamin:
...naaahh! I will pass

Maamin:
There are many glaring evidences both in the Bible and outside the Bible. Many Apocryphal text and none canonised books made this clear that angels took daughters of men. But these people just don't want to take the word for what it says

Maamin:
I think this is clear enough and has revealed a lot concerning this issue ...let's wait and see how they deny all this �

Maamin:
My brother this people will twist anything in the scripture just to fix in their erroneous teaching. How can Jude be warning against Enoch's writing when in fact he was acknowledging it ? Truth is has been made plain right before them. Pride and ego won't let them accept it.

Maamin:
Same way Jude acknowledge the writings of Enoch, Peter did also. They all agreed on the same teaching. Perfect! Well done bro!

solite3:
yes of cause the bible is a very literal book as it contains documented history and names of real people but although the bosom of Abraham is a real place but the term" bosom of Abraham" is rather an idiom as the word "bosom" is used to indicate intimacy rather than a real place.

solite3:
humm
I think Jesus wanted to show it was a real story.
Very true sheol has two sections one for the righteous and one for the unrighteous but this was before christ death and resurrection.
When Christ died the souls of the righteous was relocated to heaven where christ is, and anyone who dies in Christ would also be where Christ is which is heaven but the unrighteous souls still remain in sheol only the bodies of the righteous remain buried in the grave or sheol.

Mirror mirror on the wall

solite3:
Can you mention some other idioms in the bible?

budaatum:
If you look in a mirror, reason would make you see mutt!

kkins25:
Haha. You never really questioned anything. You simply blocked out the conflict by enforcing your previous paradigm by finding connection which do not exist except in your eyes of course.
Christianity has always been perplexing.

kkins25:
Please help me strengthen my faith in our lord God.

kkins25:
Can you explain to me without any spiritual mombo jumbo, how the concept of trinity exist in a monotheistic religious system.

kkins25:
Can you use the bible ro elucidate the origin of all human races?

kkins25:
Can you use the bible to tell us how penguins travelled from Antarctica to middle east into noahs ark?

kkins25:
Can you tell me how noahs ark, could contain all the species on earth? Including plant species which would have been destroyed after the flood

kkins25:
Can you tell us, why God wants ro make sure a maximum number of souls are fotten to fuel the flames of hell

kkins25:
Can you tell me from the bible where, it explicitly provides reason for God not killing the devil and sacing us all this trouble.

kkins25:
Can you tell me, from the bible also why the human genome is full of useless sequwnces so to spea

kkins25:
Can you tell me why God created 'malaria'...

kkins25:
Can you tell me why does who share faith with yours often think the earth is flat?

kkins25:
Do you think the earth is the centre of the universe?

kkins25:
If the bible is Gods word then why is there no consensus on the axtual message God intends to pass?

kkins25:
Why did God not born himself in every society as the christ and save every race?

kkins25:
Why only the jews?

kkins25:
if jesus resurrected in the flesh, does that mean God has a human face now?

kkins25:
Ihedinobi3, you can help too.. help save kkins25 from the damnation of hell

How to date a planet
h ttps://youtu.be/YSau4HTNjkE

MuttleyLaff:
budaatum, is it true that Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, that shes got the second hottest body in the entire solar system, beaten only by the sun and so too hot to want to be in any serious relationship with anyone? If Venus, Earth's hot sister, is out of a suitor's reach, and since you've given how to date a planet, why not also provide info, on how to date and marry her sister, earth, marry some other planet, marry sun, marry moon and/or even marry a star.

Some say, you never ask a lady her age, or it's rude to ask a woman planet her age. You would know this and can attest to it. How old are you budaatum?
