    Why is there sin in churches?-Church Discipline

    I humbly disagree. This is how church gossip can become hurtful and devastating. Not everyone needs to know about the affair that's going on between so and so, or how many different drugs so and so is doing. If the clergy (priests, elders, pastors,etc) know, that's enough. I do agree...

    Can You Solve This?

    For a fairly rough outline of the statue study, what is commonly taught is that the -Head of gold represents the time of Babylonia -Chest and arms of silver represent the time of Medo-Persia -Belly and thighs of bronze represent the time of Greece -and finally the Legs of iron represent Rome

    Can You Solve This?

    Well, first of all, I assume you are quoting Daniel 2:31-43, specifically from the King James Version. (That would help, btw. Lol!) Anyway, "they" (again, in v. 43 for clarification) refers to a future peoples way after King Nebuchadnezzar (2:1). Many Biblical scholars think "they" (v. 43)...

    imagine there's no heaven...

    I think heaven (being united with Christ) is important in the message of the Gospel. What else did Paul mean by the "blessed hope?" And, is looking forward to this blessed hope a wrong motive for being a Christian?

    There is no hell.

    It also seems to me that Jesus referred to "eternal punishment" in Matthew 25:46. "Then they [the goats, i.e. "unrighteous"] will go away to eternal (αἰώνιος, meaning: without end; never ceasing; everlasting) punishment...

    There is no hell.

    I know what you're saying, and thanks for the response. However, after reading Hebrews 11 (especially v. 39), I'm not too sure ANY of us are promised "tangible benefits" here on earth. That's why heaven is something to look forward to. Agape, it seems to me that Rev. 20:10 (concerning Satan...

    There is no hell.

    Can you explain?

    There is no hell.

    The biggest problem with believing that torment is temporary is that it cheapens righteousness and grace here on earth. If this is true, why should I keep on living a good, God-pleasing life? If I'm tormented for my disobedience for a short while, why not take a sin-loan out now, and pay...

    There is no hell.

    When I asked about Jesus' quote (from Isaiah) in Mark 9:48 (about a "never-ending" death), Evangelica responded: I disagree, and will explain after I respond to one more response to my first post. It'sme responded as well (referring to Isaiah 66:24, Jesus' reference in Mark 9:48): Thanks...

    There is no hell.

    Haaa! Beautiful. If there is no "hell" (i.e., a place of eternal punishment), why would Jesus quote Isaiah 66:24 (in Mark 9:48) saying, "where, ' "their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched." ' " Would that not assume that the disobedient are forever dying?

    What happens when a Christian dies?

    To further back up what some believe about dying and going to Heaven (or being with God), Hebrews 12:1 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses . . ." referring to all of the saints who died in chapter 11. If Abraham, Moses, David, and all the martyrs of the...

    Can a women be a pastor?

    Yes, all women who preach [i.e. "teach or have spritual authority"] over men are going straight to hell in a hand basket! Say it with me, everyone!
