What did God do on the seventh day?

Interesting point you make. However, I also noticed that the sower was never given a name. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Daniel, these people were all given names and were all referred to in both Old and New Testaments as being real persons. I am curious, which of...

Both young-earth (calendar-day) creationists and old-earth (day-age) creationists consider the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. Both believe the Genesis creation account is an historical narrative not an allegory, myth, legend, or poetic expression. And both support an ex nihilo creation...

Matthew 5: 28 Jesus said, "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in heart". Men who are saved obviously should keep in mind this verse. However, I would also content that woman who are saved should also be mindful of...

I find Deade's analysis very compelling, that Enoch and Elijah did die and did not go to the heaven of God and the angels. They ultimately went to sleep in the dust of the earth with the future hope and promise that they will receive the 1st resurrection some day. However, there is one part...

Rev 4:4 tells us that there were 24 elders in heaven wearing white linens and golden crowns. This seems to be before the first trumpet, and before Christ's coming I think. So this seems to be telling us that some are raised to heaven in spirit before Christ's coming. Yes or no?

You might have it right buddy, as I am still just trying to absorb and walk through all this. Closer examination of true meaning and significance of Matthew 27: 51-53 is needed. I found this link which you might find agreement with. Let me know. Thanks...

You can have both! The witness of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:23 tells us that some (the "firstfruits") will rise after Jesus rose, but before his coming. The witness of Matthew in Matthew 27:52-53 also corroborates the same message. That some (many) rose after Jesus rose, but before his...

Yes, thanks for sharing this!

I just came across 1 Corinthians 15:23 where the KJB says, "every man in his own order". And the CSB says, "But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at his coming, those who belong to Christ." So this seems to clearly say there is a progression - that some will be...

Fantastic post! thank you for explaining this so well. I do have one question. Are Moses, Elijah and Enoch still asleep in the dust as we speak, or have they already been resurrected?

1Thess 4:16 says, "the dead in christ will rise first". My Question: Is this a once and only once event? does this happen periodically like a seasonal harvest? Or is this what happens each and every time a person in Christ dies? And does Thess 4:16 refer to the resurrection of the soul...

1. The Resurrection: Is this a single, solitary event where all the dead in Christ that have accumulated over the past 2000 yrs, are all taken up in one shot? Or Is this a continual event where the dead in Christ are raised on a daily, or weekly, or monthly or...

So not one soul has been raised from the dead yet, meaning that heaven at current is completely devoid of any souls? Is the last day the same 24 hour day for everyone? Or is the last day a different time for everyone?

So you are saying that Enoch is an example eluting to the future rapture. 1Thess 4:17 seems to say that those still alive during Christ's second coming (at the end) will not die but be caught up. You have a point here to. The rapture

This rational sits best with me. Thanks for sharing. I have read that the second death is only mentioned in Revelation. However, I am gathering that this truth/concept of the second death has been revealed throughout scripture starting with Enoch.

The "probably assuming". Hebrews 11:13 begins with "All these people died in faith" If being succinct was the a goal then why not leave out "all" ? "these people died in faith" would be more succinct.

I do not find this to be a convincing argument.
