So very well said! Thank you.Hey Randy
I thought that it was interesting that in Revelation, Jesus is said to hold the keys to Hades and death. Death signifying the act, and Hades the place we go after the act.
I agree, great subject and one that is not spoken about enough. I think that OT believers were kept in Hades until atonement was made, and the righteousness of God that is imputed to us as indwelt NT believers was established. Until then, or, until Christ was lifted up, the agent that paces us in Christ, the NT indwelling, was not yet given, and that which justifies us was only in promise up until the Holy Spirit was given. OT believers had to wait for the reality of it, the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Promises don't cleanse temples (us), blood does.
Romans 3:24-26 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Where does Abrahams bosom fit into this? Here God's Word explains.
In Galatians 3:14,
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
16-19 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ. And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise. What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
25-29 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

They don't believe they ARE those animals. Rather, they are simply highly identifyig with an animal. This sort of thing is as old as the hills. Let me address two forms.
1. It is really super common for children to pretend to be animals, and some of these kids have a special preference for one animal. When I was a kid, my best friend and I would spend every recess pretending to be horses. I STILL have a vivid memory of how it feels to be galloping across the plains with my main flowing in the breeze. My daughter was a cheetah. Not only is this not alarming, it's actually a very GOOD sign, because children who do this are developing a greater sense of empathy.
2. In many other cultures it is quite common for people to have a totem animal. A totem animal is the spirit of that animal which inspires you, guides you, and even gives you strength for what comes your way. Think of it as a kind of patron saint.
Sea level rise will do that.My spouse's students have difficulty separating the land from the ocean on maps.
Did you not see the extremist new Netanyahu government killing Palestinians in August and September of 2023 or do you believe it was all sunshine and unicorns on Oct 5Thank you for telling us all we need to know. Have a nice day.
The human scheduling of death endangers us all by killing the very soul of society. Comfort care and surrendering to God’s plan is the most beautiful way to prepare to meet Him. It may not always seem to be the easiest, but given Church teaching, it is not going to be easy to meet God in the next life after rejecting His authority in this one.
Apologetics is the art of defending religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse, making reference to both faith and reason as appropriate, in light of Saint Peter’s admonition to ‘Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence’ (1 Peter 3:15).
“The Church needs to promote apologetics, which is aimed at affirming the truth of Christian revelation, the harmony of faith and reason, and a sound understanding of freedom.” -Pope Benedict XVI
And here I thought that “Big Government” was anathema for conservatives.
You are so right! Men rely on porn because REAL WOMEN keep rejecting them. And a woman has to right to say," NO!" But it is so discouraging
to be rejected when a woman will not even date you. Last year, in 2025,I did not even had one date, I only asked Christian women out ,because I did not want to be unequally yoked.
It is so frustrating when I "play by the rules", and I get no accomplishment. This part of life really is a disappointment.
Thank you for your encouraging words, inhocsigno. All glory to God.Greetings Christsfreeservant,
Thank you for this ever timely and relevant message. For new congregation members in particular, the lessons and significance of the Pentecost are often some of the more challenging teachings to bring across, just as they are important. Very nice work in putting this together.
Prove from Scripture that Joseph was married prior to being married to Mary!Her pregnancy was not the subject of the "until" clause. And on that bit of ridiculous hubris from you, I believe we are done.
