1 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | pooterputter | 208990 | ||
Thank you, I will reflect on your thoughts, though Jesus Himself did give us authority over sickness and demons and we are to strive to be perfect like unto Him, our friend and brother. He says we are his friends and we have the same Father. He died for us so that we can be righteousness; just as He is, so we are to be. There is much learning to be done! | ||||||
2 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | BradK | 208999 | ||
Hello pooter, I trust that I was of some help:-) May I ask upon what scriptural support you base the statement, "Jesus Himself did give us authority over sickness and demons"? He didn't die strictly so that we can be righteous! He is our righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30). This righteousness is not something that we become, rather it is imputed to us. We have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us! (2 Cor. 5:21) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I won't argue that point I mean the same thing :). The Scrip is Luke 9:1 w/God's Love... | ||||||
4 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | BradK | 209001 | ||
Hello pooter, No intent to argue, but Luke 9:1 is addressing the disciples, not us! "And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases." Wouldn't yoou say there's a significant difference between Christ giving His disciples authority (which was to validate their ministry) and us as 21st-Century believers? I would call this selective proof-texting. It is not a carte blanc endorsement for us today! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

We are all His disciples and must strive to be like Him! Why send the seventy? What of Stephen that was stoned? We are meant to have power w/and through the Holy Spirit in our lives for the glory of God... Just give the thought one hour and w/open heart to the link above :) in God's love | ||||||
