KFC. My reference is the last eight or nine chapters of the book of Ezekiel, which depicts the events during the millenium. I will submit an article about the spirits in prison. When Christ rose from the tomb, He went to this "hell" to free all those from Adam forward, who had not had the opportunity to gain redemption through Christ. He will visit that place on His return to earth to once again, free all those who fell short, to be taught a

Question of the Day. I have never stated that I did not have sex before I was married. I did.....a whole bunch of times. As many times as I could and that probably wasn't enough. Many things could have happened that would have made a mess of my life, and fortunately for me, none occurred. That cannot be said for the millions of unwed births. Children without fathers, growing up in poverty only to repeat the cycle ad infinitum. You are in

Hell. There are four synonymous words for Hell, used in the King James Version of the Bible- Gehenna, Hades,Sheol, and Tartarus. ‘Hell” is the English rendering of two different Greek words in the N.T. The English word itself is from the Anglo-Saxon hel, Genitive case helle= a hidden place, from the Anglo-Saxon helan=to hide. Gehenna, pronounced: geena, is

KFC Now as to Churches. There are seven in the book of Revelation. God finds fault with all but two, Smyrna and Philadelphia. Which one of the seven do you belong to? Smyrna and Philadelphia knew the truth and did not get sidetracked with mumbo jumbo nonsense. I am a member of either one of those, for what the two share in common is that they know who the Kenites are. Rev 3:6 -" He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churc

KFC Yes, Satan and all who give their allegiance to him will go into the lake of fire, but the lake of fire is not Hell. I wrote an article on this very same subject for a Christian message board a number of years ago, and perhaps it is time I submit it as an article here. All those who go into the lake of fire perish. One of Satan's names is Son of Perdition and Perdition means to perish from without and from within, to no longer exist. The

Sons of Thunder. Nope, Nope, Nope. Christ was crucified on the the 14th day of Nisan, which was on a Wednesday, for it was the preparation day for Passover, which began on the 14th day of Nisan, and they were in a hurry to carry out the crucifixion before Passover. Christ himself said that He would be in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish. Days were 24 hours long, but were reckoned from sunset to sunset.<

Question of the Day. I have a basement, in fact I am in it now. There is no sump pump here, nor have I had one in any house I have lived in and have never had flooding due to rain. On July 23rd, 1987, we had 16 inches of rain within a few hours.....a record breaker rain, and not a drop of water found its way in. I am in the third house that I have owned, the one I owned in 87 was my second home. The reason why these basements do not have

Cactoblasta. You have no problem with sex outside of marriage, but fortunately you are not in charge. It is God himself who sets the standards and makes the rules. What I think and what you and everyone else thinks, counts for nothing. In the end, it is what God thinks that matters. About married couples and unwanted pregnancies...........yes, solutions are readily available. Odd that they have discovered "cures" for the dreaded disease known a

Tova7 There is no such thing as Purgatory, unless you are speaking of the place where the rich man views Lazarus from across a great gulf. Hell is not a fiery furnace, nor is it the lake of fire, nor is it a place of eternal torture, nor is it a place where Satan dwells.

To all participants. Merely a suggestion here, but I would ask that when responding to a particular post, that you address it to the particular person's handle or nickname. It makes it easier than to read through a post and try to guess just who you are responding to.

Tova 7. I was not referring to seeking answers from strangers, I was referring to seeking answers from God's word, which by the way is something quite foreign to most people, even among those who regularly attend a church. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink is an old adage that applies here. Many people stumble over the truth, only to turn and kick it out of the path.

Reply to Sex Before Marriage ! in Religion JoeUser Forums

Deference. Dogma is something held as an established opinion. Sin is a transgression of God's laws. God's laws are not opinions, nor are they mere suggestions. We all fall short of the glory of God, and I for one am very much included in that lot, but no matter how much we sin, we are forgiven through repentance. It is one thing to sin in ignorance, and in doing so one is not held accountable. However, once one learns that a particular act i

Yes people know where scriptures are, but in my experience I have found that the great majority do not seek answers where they may readily find them, as if stumbling around in a dark cave, while having tripped over a flashlight just outside the cave's opening, that they could have used to light their way.

Sons of Thunder. About 1 Corinthians 7: 1&2. The words "ye wrote" in the first verse deals specifically with the Corinthians having written a letter, but carefully avoided any reference to the disorders among themselves. These had been reported by the members of Chloe's family (1-11&12), and the scandal referred to in ch.5 was a common report, which was perhaps made known by Stephanas and others, ch16, v 17. The one important thing to remember is
