DBR, it is totally impossible to exegete from Acts 24:15 that a dead infant will be resurrected "with a view of growing up and find out about God until old enough to make their own choice." This is not the teaching of Acts 24:15 nor is it the teaching of any other passage in the entire Bible that I know anything about. Please prove what you teach on this Forum by Scripture or refrain from teaching. What you posted is purely speculative -- unless, of course, you are able to convince this Forum with Scripture that Scripture teaches such a thing. By the way, are you ever going to answer my two questions? They are: Do you deny the full deity of Jesus Christ? and, Are you a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses? WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO ANSWER THESE TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS? WHY? WHY? WHY? --Hank | ||||||

Psalm 37:29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it. Prov 2 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. Proverbs 2:20-22 The purpose is that you may walk in the way of good people and that the paths of the righteous ones you may keep. 21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it. This seems to speak of and earthly judgment to me and as the scriptures clearly state the unrighteous will be brought back they cannot go into heaven as they are unrighteous so in would appear that the only place left would be this earth and as ignorance can be a defence with the Loving God of the Bible then it would seem that further opportunities must be available other why not leave the unrighteous dead dead, why else bring them back, it seem logical to me. I know you as Hank and you make some interesting comments some I agree with some I do not, you know me as DBR I made some comments you may agree with and some you may not, like the 1st century Christians had their views so do we but it the Bible that matters you and I in fact all of us are at best worthless speck of dust but, what the Bible say that’s everything, that’s enough for me.

Greetings DBR! You wrote: "This seems to speak of and earthly judgment to me and as the scriptures clearly state the unrighteous will be brought back they cannot go into heaven as they are unrighteous so in would appear that the only place left would be this earth and as ignorance can be a defence with the Loving God of the Bible then it would seem that further opportunities must be available other why not leave the unrighteous dead dead, why else bring them back, it seem logical to me." Where does the Bible say that the unrighteous will be 'brought back'? Where does the Bible say that 'ignorance can be a defence'? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

(Luke 23:34) But Jesus was saying: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Furthermore, to distribute his garments, they cast lots. (John 16:3) But they will do these things because they have not come to know either the Father or me. (1 Timothy 1:13) although formerly I was a blasphemer and a persecutor and an insolent man. Nevertheless, I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant and acted with a lack of faith. DBR |

Greetings DBR! Thanks for the response my friend! First of all, the three references you cite all have to do with people who are still alive. We know that 'sinners' can be brought to repentance during their lifetimes. This is the heart of the Gospel. But, where is there any indication that such is the case after death? Secondly, we know that Paul accepted God's forgiveness, but there is no indication in Scripture whether or not the others did. Finally, what about my first question? Where does Scripture speak about the unrighteous being 'brought back'? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Looking a long way back in time in the below would cover the long dead as they can well be included in the time scale coverd by Pauls comment. Acts 17:29-30 “Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man. 30 True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Daniel 12:2 And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence. Thus to be judged for good or bad John 5:28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which ALL those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice "ALL" in the above would seem to indiscriminate as to weither they are good or bad.

Greetings DBR! Scripture most certainly teaches of a resurrection of all people to either Heaven or Hell. However, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate people 'coming back' for a second chance. Those who die 'lost' remain lost at the resurrection and are sent to Hell. Those who die 'saved' remain saved at the resurrection and go to Heaven. There is nothing in any of the passage you have cited that indicate, as you said in one of your previous posts, that unrighteous people will be brought back and offered a second chance. p.s. - I notice that you are quoting from the New World Translation. I would highly recommend avoiding it as it is not really a translation at all. The Watchtower organization will not release any information about the supposed translators, so no one even knows if they were qualified to translate the Bible or not. From the lack of quality in it, I would say that they were not. It is very apparent that they have little understanding of Greek or Hebrew. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
