61 | The Law of Moses has been abrogated | Matt 5:17 | koscheiman | 173134 | ||
I must disagree with Matthew Henry's commentary on Matthew 5:17f. The book of Hebrews informs us that the old law is no longer in effect with the change of preisthood there was a change of law (Hebrews 7:12). Paul says the old law was nailed to yhe cross (Colossians 2:14) and we are dead (separated) to the law (Romans 7:4f). When Christ fulfilled the law and the prophets they were no longer in force. The old covenant (or law) was replaced by the new covenant and the law of Christ. | ||||||
62 | However, after Jesus finished His work o | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173014 | ||
In the Apocalypse (the book of Revelation) everything is written in signs (Revelation 1:1) so when John says he "saw a new heaven and a new earth...and there is no longer any sea" this is figurative language. "The new conditions did not signify abolition of the old order of governments, nor the formation of new secular and political powers. The EARTH thru-out the apocalypse referred to the place of nations, with particular reference to Palestine; and the placid or tossed SEA referred to the state of society; and the word HEAVEN denoted the existing authorities of government. The new heaven and the new earth, and the troubled sea, having passed away and represented as no more, indicated the changed conditions within the existing government and society to make them favorable for the prosperity of the cause of Christ and His church thru-out the empire. The old system of Judaism had been removed and the opposition of heathenism had been overcome; and the vision represented new conditions to surround the church in the changed world." (from The Book of Revelation by Wallace). In 2 Peter 3:13 we have the following "But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Here we have the following meaning, "The future state of the saved will be spiritual, hence the only way man can be given a foresight of it is by likening it to what he understands and enjoys while living in a material home. The present abode is on the earth with its two heavens, the atmosphere and the starry region. Genesis 1:14-16 says the heavenly hosts were made to give light upon the earth, hence it is proper to mention those heavens in connection with the earth when referring to the home of mankind. But while the form of language is based upon mans present abode, in reality his eternal home will be spritual and one wherin shall dwell righteousness." E.M. Zerr Peter says this present heaven and earth "by the same word have been stored up for fire" and "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up." Hebrews 1:3 states that Christ is "upholding all things by the word of his power" when He withdraws that word the elements will literally come apart at the atomic level thus liqufing in fervent heat the old universe that now exists and the saved will go to their heavenly home and praise God day in and day out. |

63 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173004 | ||
What do you not understand? One Scripture said Jesus and the thief went to Paradise "today" i.e., the Friday of their deaths. The other Scripture which is on the day of Christ resurrection (Sunday) Jesus told Mary He had not gone to the Father as of yet. So if He went to Paradise on Friday Resurrected on Sunday but as yet had not been to the Father then the reference to Paradise in Luke is not where the Father is (heaven) You would do well to go to the following website and read http://www.mwchurchofchrist.com/pages/articles/aftdeath.htm |

Hades and Hell are not the same place. | ||||||
65 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172959 | ||
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43) Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. (John 20:17) These are the two Scriptures I mentioned in my post. As you can see in the Scripture in John Jesus had not as yet ascended to the Father yet He had already been to Paradise as of Luke's Scripture. Aparently here Paradise does not refer to heaven. |

66 | However, after Jesus finished His work o | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172931 | ||
Not true. Heaven is where the faithful go after the second resurrection and the judgment. | ||||||
67 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172930 | ||
My point was quite clear according to Scripture Jesus went to Paradise also according to Scripture at the time of His resurection He had not ascended back to the Father. The conclusion Jesus went to Paradise but not to heaven where he Father was. Therefore Paradise in the Scripture in Luke is not referring to heaven. The KJV says Jesus went to Hell this is a mistranslation of the Greek the proper term is Hades. | ||||||
68 | Revelation not a book of future prophecy | Revelation | koscheiman | 172928 | ||
Wallace and myself and many others in the church are not Preterist because we do not believe the second coming of Christ has occurred, we do not believe in a rapture, and we do not believe the final judgment has occurred. We do believe that all biblical prophecy has been fulfilled. | ||||||
69 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172890 | ||
Hell and Hades are not the same thing. Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise" Luke 23:43. Now we know that Paradise here is not a reference to heaven because He said to Mary, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father..." John 20:17. | ||||||

71 | Revelation not a book of future prophecy | Revelation | koscheiman | 172874 | ||
If Revelation is "a book of future prophecy," then we are in a regime of prophecy still, and living in an age of prophecy. But the Lord declared in Luke 16:16 that "The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it." The phrase "until John" here does not mean until John appeared, but until John's order ended. At the house of Cornelius, in Acts 10:37, Peter used the phrase "after the baptism which John preached." Jesus said "until" John, and Peter said "after" John. Obviously after John meant until the cross; and until John meant until the cross. Jesus did not say the law was until the cross--He said the law and. And what? The law and the prophets were until the cross--which meant prophecy ended exactly when and where the law ended. The word "until" expresses the point of termination. So both law and prophecy were terminated by the cross of Christ and "since that time the kingdom of God is preached." Revelation was not a book of future prophecy but one in which the reader was already taking part. Revelation is about the destruction of Jerusalem and the victory of Christ and His people over the persecution of the Jews, Rome, and the heathen. partially taken from The Book of Revelation" by Foy E Wallace, Jr |

72 | what happens after death | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172871 | ||
According to Luke 16 after death man's spirit goes to one of two places in Hades. The righteous go to Abraham's bosom, also called Paradise in Luke 24, and the wicked go to Tartarus. | ||||||
73 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172869 | ||
Paradise was a part of Hades. Hades being divided into two compartments, Tartarus and Paradise or Abraham's Bosom, separated by a fixed gulf. | ||||||
74 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | koscheiman | 172680 | ||
I whole heartedly agree with your 7 reasos to not ask Jesus into your heart. It is the most unscriptural perpretation on men by denominational preachers since the Catholic church. The Scriptures teach us that faith only does not save "Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith." (James 2:24). Because of this teaching in Jamse Luthur believed that James was not canonical believing he taught differently from Paul, but Paul although emphasizing faith did not teach faith only. |

75 | The Law of Moses has been abrogated | Matt 5:17 | koscheiman | 172527 | ||
Many when reading Matt 5:17 believe that the law of Moses is still in force because of these verses, but what exactly do they say? Think not that the purpose I came for was to abolish or abrogate the Law or the prophets but rather He came to fulfill. Did Christ fulfill the Law? Yes He did in two ways. 1. By fulfilling all prophecy pertaining to Him 2. By living a perfect life according to the Law Because of this fulfillment or accomplisment the Law of Moses (all the Law including the 10 commandments) have been abrogated. The verse following this one states that not one jot or tittle will pass away till all be fulfilled or accomplished. |
