    "Put a *hole* in my flesh, Holy Spirit, and all that my corruption got me, in Jesus' Name Amen" (holding on to sin?)

    Hi there, So I want to pray by example here, that other people who struggle with the flesh might know the way out, that the Holy Spirit gave. I sinned. That's the short of it. But the problem became that I held on to my sin. My flesh was enlarged, by the pleasure and I ceased to know a way out...

    What the Bible Teaches About SOUL and SPIRIT

    “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezekiel 18:4). This brief text expresses a simple truth. Souls die. Against the speculations of some that there is something within a man, a “soul,” which remains alive after death, lingering as a disembodied spirit, the scriptures affirm to the contrary...

    How is death and hades cast into the lake of fire, the same thing as death being destroyed in 1st Corinthians 15?

    everyone I've ever come across that talk about these passages take them as the same event. 13The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the...

    How do full preterists deal with these texts?

    If there's any full preterists here, I would appreciate how in the world you deal with these passages. Col 1:15-20 15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible...

    The Importance of Yeshua's Resurrection

    If you are someone whom claims to be Christian, you may understand the reason of the importance of the Resurrection. The reason that the resurrection is important, is because it's where spiritual awakening in Christ becomes apparent within yourself based on spiritual evidence which are not seen...

    Seven Lens, Concerning Fulfillment.

    The Seven Lens First: That Jesus Christ has had the victory over all things. All things heavenly, earthly, or beneath the earth. There is nothing that He did not conquer through His life lived, His death, resurrection, ascension, and return. He is Lord over all . . . and all means all. Two...

    The Lord has a dilemma: how to have me react to His Spirit, without having me succumb (to pride)

    Hi there, So I just need to get this out in the open basically: I am sensitive to the spirit, but not necessarily in a good way, but on the other hand, I am tempted to be proud and interpret great levels of perception as my doing (or my flesh or something). It's difficult for the Lord, because...

    If your attitude to "sin" is the same as your attitude to "iniquity": you need prayer! (Please pray for me)

    Hi there, I am in a spiritual struggle and it has dawned on me, that my attitude to sin is the same as my attitude to iniquity - I think of sin as "wrong", but no more wrong than "iniquity". This cannot be the case. I am throwing myself on your mercy, because I want to be an example of someone...

    If you love the Church, no matter what: your resurrection will mean to you the most that it can do (hoping?)

    Hi there, So, just a simple thought for you to consider: if you love the Church no matter what, your resurrection will mean the most that it can do. In other words, you will have the essence of a perfect life. A perfect life can reach anywhere, do anything, center however it desires. All these...

    Jesus preached in Hell, many ways; and Jesus empowered Death, concerning the one truth (model behaviour?)

    Hi there, So when trying to grasp what Jesus did and how He did it, it is a little difficult to know where to start or to what extent. That's because after having descended from the Cross, and committed Himself to the grave, Jesus did something peculiar in Hell and created a work of Death. What...

    Iniquity robs the child, but the Lord is able to command a lesser resurrection (in need of someone coming down to your level?)

    Hi there, So there is a great passage in the Gospels, where Jesus heals a little girl (Mark 5:41). What is remarkable, is that Jesus doesn't say "no, resurrection is for adults", rather He condescends to her and says to her "Talitha cumi" (that is, "I say to you, arise"). The point is, He does...

    Without a love of Creation, the anti-Christ can only rule with a harder and harder fist (so to speak) (submissive?)

    Hi there, So just to help you get a perspective on the tribulation, what you need to understand, is that the anti-Christ does not have the love of Creation in him (not the love of the Creation, that Jesus had) and without that all he can do is rule with a harder and harder fist (so to speak)...

    The Rapture will also be a time of mass suicide; the Tribulation a time of mass condemnation (still at rest?)

    Ok, So there is a little more to the picture, that is unfolding before us, as we head in to the time of Jacob's trouble: typically, we focus on the Rapture and put off thinking about the Tribulation - that's only natural. We can be calm and spirited about the Rapture; spirited and calm about...

    I got it! The Cross of Jesus is where He developed a "contempt for future sin" - His contempt kept in check, *saves* us from not resisting sin enough!

    Hi there, So there is a way to interpret what happened on the Cross, directly: Jesus asked "why Your Abandonment?" and was provoked to fill with contempt; when reflecting on what He had contempt for, He chose sin; choosing sin, the Lord projected contempt for sin in future. That is what...

    Reincarnation is FALSE. Resurrection is TRUE.

    Alright, here’s a whole essay I made to debunk reincarnation. As a disclaimer, I use CAPS LOCK to emphasize my points, and don’t mean it in an angry sort of way, it’s just, I’m very STRICT when it comes to salvation = faith alone in Jesus Christ to be saved permanently resurrected permanently...

    Is There Any Hope for the Unsaved Dead?

    Not only the living will benefit in the Millennium and have an opportunity for the earthly salvation. Paul speaks of "God our Savior, whose will it is that all men should find salvation and come to know the truth." Those who died without this knowledge must therefore be awakened from the dead if...

    Body of Christ

    Body of Christ I know Jesus's Resurrected body on earth was physical. Did his body after his Ascension become a spiritual body? Thank You, Daniel

    Do you believe building on spiritual foundations found on and in Christ are beneficial to you in the afterlife?

    Have you read these scriptures before by Paul writing to the Galatians? Galatians 6:7-9 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the...

    1 Corinthians 15 - Resurrection Chapter by Paul

    1 Corinthians 15 Young's Literal Translation 15 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood, 2 through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye...

    The Truth Of Becoming Unbelieving

    (Please be encouraged to read this out loud to yourself and consider what is said.) There are many Christians who believe that it would ever been impossible to give up faith. There is scripture to support this of course, the idea also of the use of "Sovereign God" does what He wants, and there...
