    Adam's Flesh Could Not Be Saved

    Davy: Scripture says of Adam and Eve following their being created: "And God saw EVERYTHING that he had made, and behold, it was VERY GOOD. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31 -- English Standard Version) QUESTION #1 TO DAVY: Since your position is that...

    Adam's Flesh Could Not Be Saved

    Davy: What you claim is "elementary Bible 101 stuff," that "our flesh was not made to live forever," is patently false. Your reliance on the Apostle Paul's writings at Corinthians and Romans is the root of your confusion: Paul was speaking to people who were part of the heavenly class. And...

    Adam's Flesh Could Not Be Saved

    Davy: The Apostle Paul was applying 1 Corinthians 15:45-54 to those that will rule with Christ in the heavens--a relatively small number from among mankind, based on what is stated in the book of Revelation. Below is one such verse. "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing...

    When all does not mean all.

    Michael Collum: You are correct to not believe in Eternal Torment and Universal Reconciliation, since neither of those are supported by scripture. However, scripture confirms that Annihilation of the wicked is what Jehovah intends in the future. No doubt you've read about how he annihilated...

    When all does not mean all.

    Butterball1: Death is not contrasted to resurrection. Death is contrasted to life--which is the opposite of death. Butterball1: We die as a result of inherited sin. That is what scripture says. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our...

    When all does not mean all.

    Michael Collum: Scripture makes it clear that many people will indeed die. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) Below is a fill-in-the-blank question. QUESTION #1 TO MICHAEL COLLUM: According to Romans 6:23, "the wages...

    From what I understand because I read the Bible

    67_Reasons: You have yet to present scripture that literally speaks of five realms, but you expect me to explain the impossible to you? God's inspired word, the Judeo-Christian Bible speaks of two realms (the heavenly realm and the earthly realm), and we are informed of this at the very first...

    From what I understand because I read the Bible

    67_Reasons: There is no scriptural support for your belief in five realms. Alter2Ego

    I have lost my faith

    HopeInJesusOnly: Your belief, that the Biblical forbidden fruit was an apple or berry, is shared by many people--without evidence in support. The Genesis account does not identify the type of fruit that was forbidden. It simply described what the tree and its fruit represented, as follows...

    I have lost my faith

    HopeInJesusOnly: A responsible adult would have intervened. As your experience of being ignored has shown, claiming to be a Christian and being a responsible adult are two entirely different things. Anybody can claim to be a Christian. Claims mean nothing when there are no actions to back up...

    Who Doesn't Go To Hell?

    WebersHome: I am waiting for you to explain why ending up in Hell is, to quote you: "a terrible, awful tragedy." What happens to people when they end up there? Do tell. Alter2Ego ________________ "That people may know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, you alone are the Most High over all...

    One Died For All

    JAL: The problem for you is that your Texas analogy--after I read it a few minutes ago--does not compare to inherited sin and imperfection that all of Adam's descendants got. Your above analogy relies on the LACK of action by a fictional U.S. President after someone else poisoned the ground...

    One Died For All

    Clare73: That's not what I asked you. I asked you a direct question, which you are now dodging. Here is the question again, precede by the scripture that clearly says physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God—which happens to be in heaven: "What I am saying, dear brothers and...

    One Died For All

    Clare73: No. You did not present any scriptures at Post 500 that indicate a physical body can enter heaven. What you presented at Post 500 were two scriptures where Jesus stated he would be returning to his heavenly father. In none of those two scriptures does Jesus say he will return with...

    One Died For All

    Clare73: Your conclusion from a wall of copy-pasted, out-of-context verses of scripture, does not indicated that the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible is a Trinity. Telling me what you chose to conclude has nothing to do with what those scriptures are actually saying--based upon their context...
