CodeTemplar:Bros, the same word "Sheol" (Hebrew 7585) is at Psalms 6:5, Psalms 9:17, Job,14:13, 1 Samuel 2:6 and 2Samuel22:6. Sheol (Hebrew7585) refers to the grave. Not hellfire. No mind the KJV DECEIVING gullible sheeples @ Psalms 9:17 since the 15th century. The KJV FRAUD of Psalms 9:17 DUBIOUSLY code the subliminal message as "hell", them know say your mind go think say na hellfire, whereas actually ,it is "the grave" (Hebrew 7585). . ![]() |

DappaD:I still maintain that " this is the Biblical definition of death "HER SOUL WAS IN DEPARTING, (for she died)" *. Genesis 35:18 "KJV:And it came to pass, as HER SOUL WAS IN DEPARTING, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. This is Biblical, yet you said "There's nothing you said up there that corroborates with any Scripture in the Bible." |

KNOWMORE56:Ogbeni her soul was departing there is self explanatory nah! ![]() It simply means the character/personality known as Rachel is no more part of the story because she died! ![]() A prophecy in the Bible book of Jeremiah 31:15 says "Rachel is found weeping in the wilderness because her children is no more" this doesn't implies that Rachel's soul is somewhere weeping but a metaphoric way of saying that the descendants of Benjamin (the son of Rachel) were the most affected when Herod the great ordered the killing of all the baby boys in Bethlehem! Matthew 2:18 God used the same metaphoric utterance when Cain killed Abel! Genesis 4:10 ![]() |

DappaD:Other verses that show Soul is not = flesh (physical, earthly body) *. Matthew 10:28 "KJV:And fear not them which kill THE BODY, but are not able to kill THE SOUL: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." *. Matthew 26:38 " KJV:Then saith he unto them, MY SOUL IS EXCEEDING SORROWFUL, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." *. Luke 1:46 "46 KJV:And Mary said, MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY the Lord" *. John 12:27 "KJV:Now is MY SOUL TROUBLED; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour." *. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 "KJV:And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole[b] SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" *. Hebrews 4:12 "KJV:For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT,and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." *. 2 Peter 1:14 "KJV:Knowing that shortly I MUST PUT OF THIS MY TABERNACLE, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. *. Philippians1:23 "KJV:For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire TO DEPART, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 KJV:Nevertheless TO ABIDE IN THE FLESH is more needful for you.

Janosky:'soul that commits sin shall die' does not mean SOUL THAT COMMITS SIN SHALL STOP EXISTENCE, No. It means THE SOUL THAT COMMITS SIN SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM LIFE/LOVE /GOD. *. Philippians1:23 "KJV:For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire TO DEPART, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 KJV:Nevertheless TO ABIDE IN THE FLESH is more needful for you. " Note: Paul still makes use of the word " TO DEPART" (SEPARATE) in agreement with genesis 35:18 "KJV:And it came to pass, as her soul was in DEPARTING, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin." |

Janosky:Body/flesh is considered dead when the soul and spirit is separated from it (genesis 35:18) "KJV:And it came to pass, as her soul was in DEPARTING, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin." Dead body and dead soul are two different things. Soul is considered dead when it's separated from God. (Matthew 25:41) "KJV:Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, DEPART from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels" If it's not with God (Jesus) it's definitely with the devil. *. Philippians 1:23 "KJV:For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to DEPART, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Note: All the verses above have the word DEPART (SEPARATE); It not STOP EXISTENCE! I still maintain that "soul die" "soul kill" ... does not stop the soul from existence. |

KNOWMORE56:The Biblical meaning of "INWARD or INNER~MAN" Jesus came preaching and teaching, his teachings began sinking deep into the minds of a relatively few in his nation, but since his teachings isn't part of what people are used to they still finds it really difficult to make this new teachings become operational in their activities. So Paul's statement hear is talking about the INNER PERSONALITY that Christ's teachings have inculcated in his followers which they are finding really hard to put on the outside! Matthew 26:41 |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by KNOWMORE56: 6:27pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
Maximus69:Ok, thanks. To me, b]INNER PERSONALITY[ is the soul, MAN ON THE INSIDE |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by Emusan(m): 6:35pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
Maximus69:I was expecting to see this BIBLICAL MEANING from a reliable scholars but hell NO just your personal twisting. Jesus came preaching and teaching, his teachings began sinking deep into the minds of a relatively few in his nation, but since his teachings isn't part of what people are used to they still finds it really difficult to make this new teachings become operational in their activities.Continue with your personal injection! See how he is boldly twisting the scripture. When you even saw it boldly written 2 Corinthians 4:16 "KJV: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the INWARD MAN is renewed day by day." Paul made a clear distinction between OUTWARD MAN and INNER MAN |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by Emusan(m): 7:12pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
KNOWMORE56:That was the reason I purposely underlined that part for him. You can even see from that definition that it's something of self conscious on its own. "The inner BEING of man" Can any of them give Biblical meaning toYou can see the dubious BIBLICAL MEANING one of them gave! |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by Nobody: 7:25pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
Emusan:Outward man:- your flesh which is subjected to the things around you. Inward man:- what you desire to be after receiving Christ. The two often contradicts each other due to our imperfect condition. It's not by force that you take it, it's just what JWs believe and it's working in our midst, that's why you can see us disowning ourselves because of the teachings we received, it's not that such thing is easy but it's the inward man that's strengthen us the new personality we're developing on the inside! God bless you! ![]() |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by Nobody: 7:28pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
KNOWMORE56:I only responded to tell you that we know what it means, surely it will contradict yours but it's OK. Just make sure it's working out what is benefitial within your fellow Trinitarians! James 2:18-26 God bless you! ![]() |

KNOWMORE56:Let's use 2Corinthians 4:16 to understand what Paul meant. “Therefore, we do not give up, but even if the 1. man we are outside is wasting away, certainly 2. the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day. ” 1. Denotes the fleshly body with all its fleshly desires and weaknesses—sickness, old-age, death. 2. Denotes the new spiritual personality the Christians put on. It is this “man on the inside” that Jehovah God renews/refreshes “day to day” with his holy spirit and his Word, the Bible. So that even if true Christians(JW's) might be physically tired—maybe after a long day preaching about God's Kingdom, who they are inward—will never get tired—rather will continue to get renewed through God's word, the Bible. That said, the ‘fleshly body’ is in constant opposition to the ‘spiritual’ person we are inside—making it difficult to put away the “old personality” in order for Christians to put on the “new personality”(Ephesians 4:24, Colossians 3:9-10) |
| Re: The Story Of The Rich Man And Lazarus Is Not A Parable by Emusan(m): 12:09pm On Sep 13, 2020 |
There's no how you people will try to twist the scripture that your lies won't be exposed. DappaD:You vividly know that "THE MAN WE ARE OUTSIDE" denotes the FLESHY BODY but only to twist "The man we are INSIDE" when they both have the same phrase. 2. Denotes the new spiritual personality the Christians put on. It is this “man on the inside” that Jehovah God renews/refreshes “day to day” with his holy spirit and his Word, the Bible.The two @underlined show that you know the truth but decided to bend it. It's evident that what Paul is describing is a PERSON inside us using the phrase "MAN - INSIDE" man is conscious so what is INSIDE is also self conscious. This is clear from your post by using the term "SPIRITUAL PERSON we are inside" and you shot yourself in the foot that way. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers: "The “outward man,” the material framework of the body, is undergoing a gradual process of decay, but the “inward man,” the higher spiritual life, is “day by day” passing through successive stages of renewal, gaining fresh energies. This verb also, and its derivative “renewal,” are specially characteristic of St. Paul. (Comp. Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:10; Titus 3:5.) The verb in Ephesians 4:23, though not the same, is equivalent in meaning. Benson Commentary: 2 Corinthians 4:16-17. For which cause — Because of which abounding grace that supports us; we faint not — Under any of our present pressures; but though our outward man — The body; perish — Be worn out and brought to dust prematurely, by our continual labours and sufferings; our inward man — The soul; is renewed day by day — After the divine nature and likeness, receiving fresh degrees of spiritual strength, purity, and consolation, in proportion as the body grows weaker, and we feel our dissolution approaching. Barnes' Notes on the Bible: But though our outward man perish - By outward man, Paul evidently means the body. By using the phrases, "the outward man," and the "inward man," he shows that he believed that man was made up of two parts, body and soul. He was no materialist. He has described two parts as constituting man, so distinct: that while the one perishes, the other is renewed; while the one is enfeebled, the other is strengthened; while the one grows old and decays, the other renews its youth and is invigorated. Of course, the soul is not dependent on the body for its vigor and strength, since it expands while the body decays; and of course the soul may exist independently of the body, and in a separate state. Yet the inward man - The soul; the undecaying, the immortal part. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary: 16. we faint not—notwithstanding our sufferings. Resuming 2Co 4:1. outward man—the body, the flesh. perish—"is wearing away"; "is wasted away" by afflictions. inward man—our spiritual and true being, the "life" which even in our mortal bodies (2Co 4:11) "manifests the life of Jesus." Meyer's NT Commentary: 2 Corinthians 4:16. Διό] namely, on account of the certainty expressed in 2 Corinthians 4:14 (partly elucidated in 2 Corinthians 4:15), in significant keeping with εἰδότες, and hence not to be referred back to the faith of the preachers, 2 Corinthians 4:13 (Hofmann). οὐκ ἐκκακ.] as 2 Corinthians 4:1. The opposite of ἐκκακ. is: our inward man, i.e. our morally self-conscious personality, with the thinking and willing νοῦς and the life-principle of the πνεῦμα (see on Romans 7:22; Ephesians 3:16; comp. 1 Peter 3:4) Pulpit Commentary: Verses 16-18. - The Christian minister is upheld by hope. Verse 16. - Therefore. Knowing that our daily death is the pathway to eternal life (ver. 14). We faint not (see ver. 1). Though; rather, even if. Our outward man. Our life in its human and corporeal conditions. The inward man. Namely, our moral and spiritual being, that "new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him" (Colossians 3:10). Is renewed; literally, is being renewed; i.e. by faith and hope. Day by day. The Greek phrase is not classical, but is a reminiscence of the Hebrew. |

Emusan:Romans12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 8:5-7 & Romans 12:1-2, renew your mind, your inner thoughts, to conform to God's righteous standard, that is the point Paul made in 2Corinthians 4:16. Because every wickedness you practice,comes from your inner thoughts. Matthew 15:11,18-20. Renew your heart and mind to conform to everything that Yahweh approves. Mr LIENUS no get SENSE You can only renew what is old , wearing out or decaying. ![]() Mr LIENUS False claim, the spirit person inside him is decaying ,he renews the decaying spirit like a mechanic changing the carburetor and worn out break pad .On the other hand, the soul is not a person living inside a man.
