Would that be before or after the profession of faith ?

The same thing could be said when he separates the sheep and the goats, wheat and tares. Doesn’t seem right now does it Shrumes.

What does this story have to do with what I posted ?

What you won’t here and I highly doubt that it has been mentioned and I could be wrong. When they say place “your” faith into Christ atoning work or just put “your” trust into Christ atoning work, one has to ask the question how. How can they put “their” faith and their “trust” into Christ...

Yes the true believers will inherit a new earth. But it does not say the new earth is paradise, we could say it is paradise as a expression but the 3rd heaven, is paradise; which would be more of a accurate statement.

Paradise is only found 3x in the Bible and each one of theses cases it refers to the 3rd heaven. As far as the story of the rich man and Lazarus it can be readily shown that it is a parable. Now just because there are names used and places does not mean it is not a parable. There is a reason why...

Paradise is heaven there is no doubt about it. As far as Lazarus the rich man and Abraham were to a degree all in the same place and that would be the grave. But as far as all together alive and seeing each other is not possible due to the fact that Lazarus and Abraham were in paradise.

Paradise is the 3rd heaven and so yes that is where Abraham and Lazarus are.

In this world do we not have wheat and tares or how about goat and sheeps. At least that is what I have read and seen in the Bible.

They both go hand and hand both are a response to each other’s works grace gospel. Albeit one is more outright to say one has to do something while the other one says one can do nothing but it’s a play on words because they to believe that somehow one still can do something.

Are you making fun of my hero !! :eek:

I have heard Ezekiel chapter 1 as a reference.

God will not cause them to reject the gospel because they have already rejected the gospel even though may have heard in the past. That is to say before anybody has ever becomed saved they have rejected the gospel because of their sin nature.

Now when you say authorial intent what do you mean by that ?

Hell is the grave and yes it is eternal punishment. If you read Mt. 25 it says nothing of the sort that the unsaved will have eternal life again when they die that’s it. Fire in the Bible is usually a reference to that of Judgment and we know the judgement of the unsaved is eternal. [Zech. 13:9...

But if you read Dan 12:2 along with that of Jn. 5:29 superficialy one could come to the conclusion you have but read it again it does not say they are raised to life. Sure they are raised but not unto life, just because one sees the word resurrection does not mean they are raised to life. You...

Jn. 18:10, 21:6, Acts 16:19 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not...

Ok, so that means those that came to Christ had to come forcefully and not of their own because the word draw that is used in Jn. 6:45 means forcefully and so if the later half is true has in the earlier have then it would have to mean by force. But don’t take my word check it out in a...

If Christ does not force himself on anybody then how does Jn. 6:44 apply to the equation ??
