There are those who say that if you are acquainted with the Bible and deny the eternal punishment of the wicked, you are not honest. That if the judgment of the wicked is not forever, then salvation of the saints is not forever, because the term of forever is used of both. So is the judgment of...
In the historicist view of the 70 weeks (generally interpreted as 490 years according to the day-year principle), Antiochus IV Epiphanes is considered irrelevant, and the period is instead applied to the Jewish nation from about the middle of the 5th century BCE until not long after the death of...

I'd like to address the Matt 10:28 verse again for I believe there is a small thing you might have overlooked:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
This marks a definite separation of...
Here is a explanation by my friend palehorse...
"Now, to begin with, I think we can both agree that Matthew 10:28 does not define what a soul is; and I believe that is the question at hand. Or maybe I should ask plainly, what is the question exactly? Exacting answers come from exacting...
The question is did Jesus Christ experienced temptation like us, was He able to sin? Or did He come without the ability to sin, what is called impeccable?
The Sabbath goes all the way back to Creation, thus Jesus who is the Creator, in referring to the Sabbath in Genesis, said the Sabbath was made for humankind, not just the children of Israel.
One has to accept Christ righteousness and allow the Holy Spirit to do its work of transforming out hearts and minds, so Gods law is written in the fleshy parts of our hearts.

Scripture tells us the saints in the grave will be resurrected and taken to heaven with Christ where He has prepared a place for us.

In Romans 11:34 Paul asks the question
"For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?"
Then in 1 Corinthians 2:16, he repeats the question
"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ."
But now Paul says we have...
Have you ever heard someone say, "I know that when I die, I will go immediately to heaven, for the Bible says, "Absent from the body, present with the Lord" Is that what the Bible says? No, it does not say that at all, period! That is lifting the middle out of the context and applying a meaning...
