Are you ok? Are you having a stroke?

Yes. Remember the text about Abrahams Bosom? That is a feast they expected to have in paradise. Read about it any any New Testament Survey book where you learn about the customs and teachings that were popular among the Jews at the time of Christ. Or you could Google it. :p Jesus was telling...

11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The...

I am keeping an open mind to Revelation and the various interpretations I read. I am always looking for the best hermeneutic. At this time I am most fond of the view that everything after chapter 4 is future. That the vision he has of Jesus taking the scroll has not happened yet. When it...

Here is a much better hermeneutic. The speaker (Jesus) has used similar language just recently and meant that an event would happen that day. Luke 22:34 34And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. And so we have...

Google "what does the dead know nothing in Eccl mean?" You will find easy to understand links to read about it. You keep using something the author said about what he thought about things as though it was what God says about things. You are using it in a way that the author did not intend...

Google it.

Doesn't that mean that the wicked dead who are in hell now will be bodily resurrected and the thrown into the lake of fire which will be why it says Hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire? I believe that is the most common view.

Yes. Faith without works is dead. But that is not salvation by works, it is more like fruit of salvation. Jesus did indeed give us enough parables to paint a proper picture that when He comes back many will not be able to enter in who think they qualify because of their mental assent and...

Maybe he is referring to the teaching that Jesus already came in that generation. A secret coming back at 70 AD.

Without holiness no man shall see the Lord. I am fully persuaded that Jesus taught that living a life of holiness and righteousness was necessary to eschatological salvation. To be ready for His Coming means having our lights burning with good works and bearing fruit. It means having no...

The sons of god were mentioned in Chapter 4 as the lineage of Seth who began to call themselves by the name of the Lord, (sons of god) and the daughters of men were mentioned in Chapter 4 when some of the women in Cain's lineage were mentioned whos names meant fair. So if you were a Hebrew...

It's a complicated answer but Yes. John saw things to come that are still future concerning the final outpouring of judgments in the Day of the Lord which is a short period of time where the judgments in Revelation are poured out. That he was in the spirit on the Lords Day. Paul was...

Also @Phoneman-777 Let me repeat as I have done many posts before, I am ok with applying this as a parable to teach a lesson about a theological truth. If you wanted to find a scripture that supported your idea that the beggar might be a gentile it would be this one: in Matthew 8 concerning...

I see that you think that connecting dots like this makes sense to you, but it does not work when applying the rule of hermeneutics as to answering the question "How would those hearing this parable understand it?" If it was more common for the beggar at the gate of a rich man waiting for...

The Eschatological Day of the Lord (aka day of Judgment) would be a better answer for the poll. That is really the only other possible answer. Either Sunday or Day of Judgment. I believe he is referring to the day of Judgment. He was translated by spirit into the day of Judgment known as the...

It is probably meant as the Day of the Lord as mentioned in prophesy. That day of the Lord when the final out pouring of judgments are fulfilled which seems to be what the entire book of Revelation is about. So what he is saying is "I was translated in spirit into the "day of the Lord" as...

I don't see any suggestion that the wise were wrong for falling asleep. If it is a parable instead of an allegory then it is a scene taken from something common to life and in this case a wedding custom. The issue here is not that they slept. The sleeping part is because there was a longer...

The reason for not agreeing with you on assigning the beggar gentile status simply because the dogs licked his sores where he lay at the gate of the rich man is not "strange." It is normal. Your reasoning is strange. It is STRAINED and it if forced and we know that you see that it is but...
