  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The New Testament begins in Acts not Matthew chapter one.

I see, no wonder you hold the doctrines that you do. Thanks for clarifying.
Hey G

All the Covenant promises are fulfilled in Jesus. But they were time sensitive. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, No man come to the Father but through Me. Including OT believers. Jesus has the Keys to Hades and death (Revelation 1:18). When He descended, He preached to those Spirits in Prison (1 Peter 3:19). When He ascended, He led captivity captive (Ephesians 4:8, Psalm 68:18). Abrahams bosom, Paradise, was in Hades before the cross (Luke 23:43, Acts 2:27-31, Psalm 16:10-11). Later, Paradise is recorded as being in the Third Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2-4), thus leading captivity captive from (Ephesians 4:8). The time sensitive part is where the transition from the OT to the NT comes in. Promises fulfilled. In Jesus.

Interesting how you lump words together to assume they are referring to the exact same thing.

So, in your point of view, all the OT saints are in heaven now, alright.

Yes, they are in Heaven.

Before the cross John 3:13-15. That Psalm passage in post #21 was the wrong one. I fixed it. It said Psalm 16:19, but I meant Psalm 16:10-11. That was to show that what was called Sheol in the OT, is called Hades in the NT.

I changed a Psalm passage noted above, but I didn't change that part. It originally said 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Here it is from the NKJV. I think that I know what happened. When you hold the arrow over that passage, it only shows it down to about halfway in verse four. You need to click on the "more" to get the rest of verse four.

2 Corinthians 12:2-4 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows-- how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
