I really appreciate your prayers & discussion, thank you

Yes, I havent been able to go in a bit over a month & have wondered if it could be the lack of fellowship. I also am in bible college.

I have wondered if it is just a feeling... maybe it is.

Mine has only been a few months, hopefully it will not be as long. What strikes me is that I cannot put a finger on what feels different, just that I fell abandoned whereas I did not prior.

I have been diagnosed with major depression in the past, I also have really bad OCD (not the "cleaning" kind, the kind where I get an unwanted thought and want to bang my head into the wall because it will not leave my mind). It has been years since I had that mindset and, it could be the growth...

A few years ago I was trying to figure out a username/band name and ended up with "As Hell Falls" or "Out of the Depths". I like using As Hell Falls because it is a witness to my belief (Scripture) and is a reminder that Hell will not prevail because of what Jesus has done for us who put our...

Do you mind sharing how long you felt like that? Also, what stopped you from feeling that way?

Does anyone else feel like you have been abandoned by God? I have been examining my thoughts & actions to ensure I am not living in transgressive sin, I have spoken to God, I have looked at everything I can think of yet I feel abandoned in my soul/mind. Has anyone else felt like such? Is there...

Revelation 6:9-11 also talks about souls crying out & wearing robes. Souls have a form that, from Scripture, is similar to a human form. This is how the rich man could tell who Lazarus was. Also, the very exciting event with God allowing the spirit of Samuel to scare Saul & the medium (had she...

Parables are common situational teachings in the modern language (modern for that time period), mentioning real people, Abraham & Sheol is not from a parable. These are all indicators of a real event coupled with the fact Jesus never calls it a parable like he did for most, if not all, other...

D.A. Wright, remember that Scripture is inerrant, if there is a perceived discrepancy then it must be addressed through the lens of Scripture until there is no conflict. This is the best way to ensure that our perceived reading is accurate to what God says. We follow God's Word, not man's...

Revelation 6:9-11

The souls of the tribulation saints are seen in Revelation by John. The souls remembered their earthly experiences, were given clothes and told to wait a little longer. These were not resurrected bodies, soul sleep/soul destruction is in no way aligned with what Scripture plainly teaches.

Not that there are two hells; rather that one is a temporary place of judgment (i.e. torment) and the other is the permanent destination for those without Jesus. I got this from the plain reading of Scripture: Revelation 20:14, Luke 16 (Luke 16 describes Sheol (place of the dead) and is...

The rich man & Lazarus is not a parable, Jesus never gave names of people in parables & He did not liken the story to anything (something that is done in, I am fairly confident, every parable).

From my studies & knowledge, Hades & Sheol are interchangeable translative words. Both mean "the place of the dead" & are often referred to in what our vernacular would be Hell in its general sense.

Be in prayer, remember that we live in a fallen world and that nothing we see will be perfect but God will restore all things* to perfection. Until then, we are to continue to be molded into the shape of Christ, living God's will for us which is discovered by continually seeking God. You cannot...

The equation is one that is almost identical. Sheol (in the general sense) was temporary heaven and hell separated by a chasm (see Jesus talking of Lazarus & the rich man). The paradise side of Sheol, according to my understanding of Scripture, was either transported, left vacant or just done...
