Hell is better translated "Sheol" in the old testament and "Hades" in the new testament. "Tararus" is where fallen angels are held until judgment. Jesus also used the word "Gehenna". I think all these represent the grave for lost souls, its that other side of paradise. Many acquaint Hell with...

As Madad mentioned, its written in several places; "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away"...

There has always been an anti-Christ, he just won't be brought to full fruition until the last days.

I've never believed Jesus wept for Lazarus, but for the unbelievers.(John 11). I also think that unbelief caused Jesus grief, and lost souls should also grieve us (Matthew 23:37).

Madad answered most of this, but in regard to Romans 3:7, I believe your taking one verse out of context to validate a point.. In verse 7 Paul is quoting a hypothetical argument that someone might use in order to justify lying: having quoted this argument he then refutes it. This sets the...

Sounds like the progressive new world view of Christianity? Meaning; We can't or don't want to comply with the bible, so lets just omit the parts we don't like, which is most of the new testament. If Paul had just said "follow me", I might agree, but he said "Be ye followers of me, even as I...

Well, the important thing here, is that it hasn't interrupted Obama's golf game.... ISIS isn't doing anything that America isn't content to allow them to do. "All that's necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing"

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six" (Revelation 13:18). From; The companion Bible” (Ethelbert W Bullinger) states: "It is the number of a name. When the name of the...

I disagree, Jesus is the Word of God; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of...

Everything God created was good, but man was given free will and our disobedience resulted in this fallen world. Our surroundings and hardships are the result of our choices. Sin was not created by God, sin emanated from within us and affected everything else. So the existing Imperfections were...

God is perfect, God is good, God is righteous, so why would God need to change? Don't presume that God is responsible for this world or has taken charge of it, The world is not a nice place because the "prince of this world" is not a nice guy. Jesus said that his kingdom was not of this world...

Now that's reading a lot more into scripture than what's actually there... Talk about jumping to unfounded conclusions "Jesus restores a gay relationship". No, like it says, Jesus healed a slave because his master had enough faith to ask for a healing. Period.

Imo, "No"..... The land where the Temple sits is occupied. I also don't believe God dwells in a Temple anymore. Its a place were a High Priest intercedes for people, no longer necessary, and a place where sacrifices are made, no longer necessary. I believe when the anti-Christ stands where he...

Delusion was here in the beginning; "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:4-5). That "Delusion" was locked-up, but he'll be...

I did not prejudge this particular church, and my contempt isn't for the word of God, but for the complete absence of it. If I wanted a band, punch & cookies, I would have went to a party. Theses were charlatans prospering off Christ, all flash and no substance. I didn't get anything out of...

People go where they're fed God's word, and many churches don't do that. I recently attended a service where the bible was not mentioned once, not a single verse. However, they did take up 2 collections, probably to pay for rock/gospel band? I'd rather deal with an aggressive used cars salesman...

I don' know... This OSAS doctrine just sounds like a license to sin to me.

Yes, Satan is currently bound and won't be released until the sixth trumpet sounds, the sixth seal is open, and the sixth vial is poured out. As mentioned, Satan was locked in the pit after Christ was crucified (John 12:31), and Michael will release him for the great tribulation ( Revelation...

That's a good question, where would your tax dollars go? $355 billion goes to pay the interest on the national debt every year. And your president just asked for another $3-$4 billion for the thousands of illegals flooding across our southern border. If the rich paid 100% tax, we couldn't...

Well that's a little more sensible Tex... But Obama's "Spread the wealth around" philosophy is an attempt to make everyone equal. Why would anyone strive to get ahead in a society like that? Economic growth depends on expansion and people take risk in business in order to prosper. Take that...
