I don't think it is very effective to read KJV to people today. It's as if you don't love people enough to want to communicate in modern English. You come across as being fake and trying to sound religious. And you can't use the excuse that it is how the word is written because it was not...

There is no contradiction between Jesus and Paul's teachings. Therefore to think that there is would be a misunderstanding of one or the other or both. From what you wrote it seems that you might be thinking that the Levitical typology is supposed to be spiritually discerned for a fuller...

Check out this book. It helped me learn the basics about English translations. I like the NIV more than I used to. I have had to give up wrong ideas I held on to about the KJV vs the NIV. I am growing fond of the CSB also. We really can't decide these things based on which English...

You'll find out soon enough. There are applications to these prophesies that are concerning the judgments that will occur this side of life and then their are applications that apply to the afterlife.

Anyone can read what Jesus said for themselves and most people understand it just fine. In real life I have never had anyone not understand it. I never meet people who don't get what Jesus said. These threads are not what most people think. I suppose most pastors could minister in a city...

Hopefully someone who hasn't been vaccinated yet will yield to reason and take your advice. It is always so sad to see someone die now who would not have died if they had been vaccinated. The positive side of these antivax posts is that they are so insane that they don't even deceive anyone...

That is not all that the bible says. It also says... 42“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. 43If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it...

I have not found it difficult to find great examples from those who are expert in Greek who can explain what Jesus said in these passages and using any of the best English Translations I believe we can be confident that Jesus meant what he said. And even if someone like yourself tried to...

It just seems like you are using a bunch of cherry picked verses to teach something these authors never intended. Jesus brought a fuller revelation of what happens when we die. But He did not reveal everything, only what He wanted us to know for now. Don't attempt to understand those verses...

I think that you will find that the majority who are on the broad road are those who do not believe in eternal punishment for the wicked. The majority of evangelical scholars do, therefore they are not the ones on the broad road. If you think about it those that believe that the wicked will...

Thank you for proving my point about why your view has been rejected by the majority of scholars.

Jesus brought a fuller revelation of the eternal torment that awaits the wicked dead. One must apply what Jesus said along with the Old Testament verses on the subject. Using the Old Testament verses alone will reveal that the writers did not have a full revelation of the state of the wicked...

Because like any other discipline or branch of science you will have someone with a different opinion than the most. However the majority of Hebrew and Greek scholars can and HAVE made a more excellent case for how the words translated destruction can be used as in a judgment context. Having...

I believe that spirit and soul are used interchangeably. I believe Wayne Grudem has a good paper on this available for download somewhere. I don't believe the verses that are used from Timothy and Hebrews were intended to teach three parts but are just repetition of expression. The paper from...

This is speculation, but it is not even a very well thought out speculation. Jesus here is shining with more glory than any of them, or at least is seems to indicate such. Jesus has not yet been bodily resurrected. Therefore it is not possible to use the manifestation of glory on Moses as...

f we would learn something from this passage it is WHAT THE AUTHOR INTENDED and not be guilty of what these false teachers were doing, and the author was not trying to teach anything about whether Moses was resurrected or the state of the righteous dead, but just as you use passages from Eccl...

That would have Moses being raised before Jesus but Peter spoke about the importance of Jesus fulfilling these prophesies not Moses. 24God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25For David says concerning him, “‘I saw the Lord always...

Speculation on an interpretation of Jude. The dispute about Moses Body was probably about the fact that God buried him. That's all we know. The rest is speculation. You are speculating that this suggests that Moses was resurrected before Jesus. I believe the interpretation is more likely...

Sure there is. Moses was buried. And yet there he is on the mount of transfiguration with some kind of body that is not the body that will be when he his buried body is resurrected. Stephen, lifts up his eyes and dying and says "Lord Jesus Receive my Spirit" and he then he "fell asleep" We...

Also the details say... 22The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23and in Hades, being in torment, ... This being carried by the angels for one and no angels being involved in the other shows more specific details than what...
