    Any examples of this?

    Does anyone have examples of God sparing people form death in the New Testament? Similar to the story of Jonah in how how relented judgment in Nineveh due to them repenting? It seems most of the NT talks about eternal life but did god ever spare physical life due to repentance? We know he ended...

    I am a Christian already I just never understood how Ezekiel exists (at least chapter 18) when the very thing he's saying doesn't happen did happen in the past.

    Yes let's mindlessly believe everything we read on the internet without challenging it and trying to find a deeper meaning. Let's just believe everything despite the fact theres 5 different conclusions on here but who cares! They must all be right! I'm for an accurate answer that makes sense...

    Except every time the word "soul" is used in the Old Testament (nephesh) its used to refer to a body, creature, life or physical person. Theres no way it could be referring to the after life. I'm sure God didn't wasn't implying humans were living forever and nobody would die. However nobody...

    Can someone explain this contradiciton?

    There are plenty of times that death is used as a punishment (plagues, being struck etc). So I double death was this celebrated thing in the OT. Heaven was not open to people before Jesus died so where exactly did the son go?

    As to Ezekiel, he spells out a general rule. But the old testament is filled with exceptions to that general rule. 2 Samuel 12:15 "After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David, and he became ill." "This is what the LORD says: 'Out of your own...

    The definition of punish is to inflict penalty for an offense. I would say the child is punished; If punishment to David was the true reason... why not just kill him? Ezekiel never said it was a general rule but rather a universal thing. He literally told them to stop saying that because God...

    Except this is mans idea of what happens. God said "the sword will never leave your house" implying that because of David's sin all the bad that happens after is because God caused it. Wouldn't that be God changing? The Bible claims that God doesn't change but you're implying he he's finding new...

    Can someone explain this contradiciton?

    Honestly I can't make sense of it. I don't see why Ezekiel would say anything like when stories prior contradicted the entire thing. I'm sure this is just me simply not understanding it but I've read these verses countless times and there's definitely a problem. One doesn't validate the other

    Can someone explain this contradiciton?

    I've literally had nobody that was properly able to answer this. In Ezekiel 18:20 it is quoted " The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to...

    Concerning God and rash promises

    So I've discussed this topic before but I struggle with OCD and this OCD leads me to make "oaths" with God on a daily basis. I was recently was going to make a trip to go across country on a plane (I am scared of planes) but the trip was cancelled due to me having to stay for school. This was...

    I'm a Christian but I can't get behind the notion that God is mericful

    Being a Christian is simply believing the Bible and God and accepting Jesus as your lord. I don't think it has much to do with your personal opinions on God's characters. There are plenty of people who don't see God in a merciful light and simple answer is because mercy takes a backseat in the...
