2 | Did Paul write the Laodiceans? | Col 4:16 | Blaze | 9201 | ||
Hey Tim, Thanks that was informative. I remembered wrong, it was Ephesians. I was thinking of 1 Cor 5:9 where Paul says that he wrote a previous letter. I agree, the so called Laodocian letter does seem to be a collage of Paul's quotes. I didn't know the manuscripts were so late. Thanks Brother, Christian |

3 | Did Paul write the Laodiceans? | Col 4:16 | Blaze | 9189 | ||
Yes, Some theologians believe it to be the first letter sent to Corinth. However, there is a letter from Paul to Laodocia in the NT Apocrypha. It is very short and doesn't contain much doctrinally. So it doesn't appear to be a fake. It evens has Paul's style. Not to mention, it ended with a similar charge as Colossians 4:16, telling the Laodocians to read the Collossians letter as well as share theirs. It wasn't recognized as inspired because it wasn't circulated or used much by the early church. |

4 | where was good hell b4 Abrahams bossom? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4473 | ||
In the OT they went to Sheol (the abode of the dead), which is called Hades in the NT. Christ called it 'Paradise' when talking to the thief (Luke 23:43). I'm sure it was the same before Abraham died. Some of the non-canonical books, such as the Gospel of Nicodemus, refer to the same place and indicate that Adam and Seth along with several others were there too. |

5 | What about the people during that time? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4424 | ||
Okay, sorry. There are people who don't yet have glorified bodies during the Millennial Kingdom based on Isaiah 65 and Zechariah 14. Because a glorified body would not die at 100 nor would there be a glorified saint who ‘does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King’. I believe these are the sheep nations (or their offspring) referred to in Matthew 25. I believe the rapture is either pre-trib for several reasons, but even if it is late in the tribulation, I don't think it could be directly at the Second Coming for three huge reasons: 1. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb occurs in Revelation 19 BEFORE the Second Coming. 2. How can He come with the saints, if they are being taken from the earth? This doesn’t allow for the Bema Seat Judgement of believers (crowns presented). 3. If the rapture occurs at the Second Coming and the goat nations are cast into the Lake of Fire, then all remaining humans have glorified bodies and they are like angels (no reproduction – no marriage). So to clear things up, I mean those who were unsaved or unborn at the rapture, who survived to the Second Coming without taking the Mark of the Beast. |

6 | Are you saying that I have a hard heart? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4406 | ||
Are you saying that I have a hard heart because I question YOUR interpretation? Time and again we are told to test the spirits and search the scriptures: 1 John 4:1 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Because… 1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, Galatians 1 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! You said that we would judge during the Millennial Kingdom without any scriptural reference to back it up. I want t know where you came to that conclusion. It seems that the Bible is clear. It says we will judge angels and everyone else. Where will or could that happen? Where else but at the Great White Throne? |

7 | What about the people during that time? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4340 | ||
What about those who aren’t raptured, who survive to the glorious appearing, and then live during the Millennial Kingdom who don’t yet have glorified bodies? These are the sheep nations. Matthew 25:31-46 31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 “All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 41 “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ 45 “Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” It appears that there will be some of the offspring of the sheep nations who don’t get saved during that time. They live to 100 years of age and die if they don’t receive Christ. Isaiah 65 17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind. 18 “But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness. 19 “I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying. 20 “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does not live out his days; For the youth will die at the age of one hundred And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred will be thought accursed. 21 “They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 “They will not build and another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands. 23 “They will not labor in vain, Or bear children for calamity; For they are the offspring of those blessed by the LORD, And their descendants with them. 24 “It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 “The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent's food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,'' says the LORD. Zechariah 14 16 Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them. 18 If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths. 20 In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, “HOLY TO THE LORD.” And the cooking pots in the LORD'S house will be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts in that day. Both of those passages refer to the Millennial Kingdom, and notice that there are some who are accursed, or who don’t go and worship the King. So there are normal people during this time, and at the end all who are in Christ will Judge with Him. |

8 | How will we judge the angels? | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4339 | ||
How will the judging be accomplished during the Millennial Kingdom? Revelation 20:4-6 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. It says that we will rule or reign with Him for the 1000 years, but nothing about judgement. How will we judge the angels if we aren’t present at the Great White Throne Judgement? 1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? The angels aren't judged until the second resurrection, they can't be judged during the Millennial Kingdom. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, |

9 | WILL YOU KNOW YOUR LOVE ONES IN HEAVEN | Luke 16:19 | Blaze | 4145 | ||
I disagree somewhat. I do believe it is possible that we will forget after the Great White Throne Judgement,for "He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken." (Isaiah 25:8). It isn't necessary though. We may be rejoicing in His righteous Judgement as in Revelation 16:7 which reads And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments." But at the Judgement of the unsaved (Great White Throne) we will be present judging with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? 1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? My original point was that Lazerous recognized Abraham, not the condemned rich man. The difference between then and now is that all those who were in Abraham's bosom are now in paradise with God: Luke 23:43 And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." 2 Corinthians 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. |

10 | Are Christians commanded to eat meat? | 1 Corinthians | Blaze | 2484 | ||
Origionally we (all humans and animals including the dinosaurs)were to be vegetarians: Genesis 1:29-30 Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food''; and it was so Then we were told it is okay to eat meat as well: Genesis 9:3 "Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. Then in Leviticus Jews were told not to eat 'unclean' meat (see Leviticus 11). Christ fulfilled that ceremonial law and declared everything clean (okay to eat): Mark 7 17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. 18 And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.) See also Acts 11 Romans 14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yes, Jesus ate meat. He ate fish: Luke 24:42 They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; He also celebrated the Passover, which required the eating of a lamb: Matthew 26:17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" |

12 | angels have no forgiveness when they sin | 1 Pet 3:18 | Blaze | 2476 | ||
I am not sure the nature of your question. Do the angels have a chance to repent? Possibly. 1 Peter 3 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. It is believed by some that this passage refers to fallen angels who became men at the time of Noah. If so, then they did get a chance to repent. Did Adam and Eve get a chance to repent? Yes, four simple evidences: First, the Gospel was preached to them in Genesis 3:15. Second, God shed blood for them immdiately. Genesis 3:21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. The garments were of skin. An animal had to die. Matthew 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. Third, they knew how to sacrafice. Cain and Abel were taught the proper way - shed blood. See Genesis 4. Fifth, Adam lived to be 935 (Genesis 5:5). He was around when Noah was born. From Adam to Noah (Adam, Seth... Noah), if you put the meaning of their names together, it is the Gospel. Adam and Eve knew God would provide a savior. |

13 | I need clarification please | 1 Corinthians | Blaze | 2474 | ||
God knows everything, including the end from the beginning. ISAIAH 42:9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you." ISAIAH 44:7 "Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place. ISAIAH 45:11 Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, And you shall commit to Me the work of My hands. ISAIAH 46 9 "Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; ISAIAH 48 5 Therefore I declared them to you long ago, Before they took place I proclaimed them to you, So that you would not say, 'My idol has done them, And my graven image and my molten image have commanded them.' 6 "You have heard; look at all this. And you, will you not declare it? I proclaim to you new things from this time, Even hidden things which you have not known. DANIEL 2 28 "However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed. 29 "As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would take place in the future; and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place. MATTHEW 6:8 "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Here's the kicker, He knew it would happen and yet He still created us. Based on Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. then the our falling is actually better in the end than if we hadn't. |

14 | 3 days and 3 nights as a Hebrew idiom | Matt 12:40 | Blaze | 2348 | ||
I agree with you both. Also it fits with the New Testament, where it says Noah's ark was a type (picture)of Christ. It says in Genesis 8:4 "In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat." Remember after the Exodus, God said of the seventh month the Seventh month Exodus 12:2 "This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you" They picked the lamb on the 10th - triumphal entry. They slaughtered the lamb on the 14th - Crucifixion (Thursday). The feast of first fruits was the day after the sabbath, the 17th (Sunday, the same day the ark rested on the land. Also note that we know that the actual date of the start of Daniel's 70 weeks is March 14, 445 BC because of the moon. 69 weeks of 360 day years (prophetic years - see Revelation) lands exactly on April 10 (Palm Sunday), 32 AD. Passover was Thursday in 32 AD. |
