Thanks Radioman.Amen to peace. | ||||||

Does anyone have any idea how many people where wiped out in the flood? | ||||||

Thanks Hank. | ||||||
5 | Did the disciples use 'sidearms'? | John 18:10 | Cephas | 8030 | ||
The most grotesque outworking of America's obsession with firearms and firearm contol must be Tim McVeigh's monstrous crime.I think the heart of Jesus can be seen in Luke 22:35 -which was a sad statement about how things would be after his death and ascension, not an injunction to take up arms.Peter typically took Jesus literally and showed Jesus 2 swords.Jesus'response? "That is enough". I have pondered this response often.On one view Jesus is saying the actual quantity of swords was sufficient to meet the future cicumstances,in which case there were 2 swords to go around 11 - the other sense is that Jesus was rebuking Peter's literal application i.e "That's enough (of that). |

6 | Replenish the earth | Gen 1:28 | Cephas | 8027 | ||
My KJV says that God commanded that man replenish the earth.The same command is given to Noah: see Gen 9:1.Replenish implies that there was something to replenish ie to replace.In the case of the flood that is easily understood,but what about Gen 1:28? What was before man to replenish? | ||||||
7 | Why Destroyed? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7778 | ||
Tim.Thanks again for your response.I don't know about death being a person, but it is hard to see that Hades could possibly qualify as such.I inferred that death and Hades were destroyed because it did not make sense that they would be tormented forever.What did Hades do wrong? Torturing a house forever seems a tad daft to me. | ||||||
8 | Death | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7771 | ||
Tim. Thanks for your response.I used the word destroyed because this was an inference. My KJV begins Rev 20:15 "And whosoever etc...".This is conjunctive to v14 which refers to death and Hades-not their contents.My reading is that both abodes and their inhabitants end up in the lake. |
||||||
9 | Persons destroyed too? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7766 | ||
That's a cheap shot.What is your answer to the question? | ||||||
10 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7761 | ||
I presume that this postscript is directed at me.What answer do you think I want to hear? Are you implying that I do not want to "hear" the truth? I have not yet had a reasoned response to my question.Ad hominem attacks are at least uncivil and lethal to debate. | ||||||
11 | Persons destroyed too? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7759 | ||
If death and Hades are not tormented forever but destroyed (in the plain and ordinary meaning of the word),then how is it that persons are not destroyed in the same place as is taught? Is it the case that the lake of fire is a place both of destruction (which implies finiteness), and ongoing never-ending torment,depending on whether what is thrown there is a person or a thing? | ||||||
12 | Hades tormented? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7670 | ||
Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever? | ||||||
13 | Death | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7666 | ||
Thanks Nolan your response helps a lot.Can I conclude that death and Hades are destroyed in the lake of fire and not subjected to "eternal torment"? And if so, how is it that unbelievers are not destroyed there as many believe? | ||||||
14 | Death of death? | Rev 20:14 | Cephas | 7647 | ||
What happens to death and Hades in the lake of fire and why? | ||||||
15 | How is Jesus with us always? | Matt 28:20 | Cephas | 6715 | ||
By the Holy Spirit given at pentecost. | ||||||
16 | But where? | Rev 4:3 | Cephas | 6654 | ||
I'm not sure if this response is meant to be rude.Perhaps my question was not sufficiently clear.I meant where in John's revelation is the Spirit described in a similar manner to the descriptions in Chapters 4 and 5. | ||||||
17 | Did God truly forsake Jesus? | Matt 27:46 | Cephas | 6519 | ||
The answer must be yes.Jesus became sin (2Co5:21).In the instant he became our sin bearer,the Father visited upon him the judgment due for sin.I like the meaning abandon for forsake.I think God abandoned his son at the point of death to death,but restored relationship immediately death occurred because the penalty for sin had been paid in full. | ||||||
18 | Where is the Holy Spirit? | Rev 4:3 | Cephas | 6517 | ||
I assume that the person in Rev 4:3 is the Father, and the person in Rev 5:6 et seq is the Son-where is the Spirit described? | ||||||
19 | Why send demons into the pigs? | Mark 5:12 | Cephas | 6383 | ||
Another thought.The priests who were supposed to be the "cleanest" of all,failed to recognise who Jesus really was, yet the most unclean spirits not only knew who he was,they obeyed him without question. | ||||||
20 | Why send demons into the pigs? | Mark 5:12 | Cephas | 6382 | ||
I think this event was designed to show just how unclean unclean spirits are and the utter wretchedness of the demoniac.The spirits were so unclean even the pigs (the most unclean animal) preferred suicide to possession. | ||||||
