Hi Tim Moran, Thanks for your comments which have triggered my mind to ask the following questions. First and foremost, where is hades and how does the soul know the way to hades after death? In view of what Jesus said in John3:13"No man has ever gone into Heaven" you speculated by saying that both Elijah and Enoch went to hades.But hades is a temporary waiting place reserved for souls of dead persons only. So, my dear Tim, are we not in a dilemma? I also infer from your comments that the O,T. Saints in hades were taken up by Christ to be with the Lord.Does this mean that the paradise side of hades is now empty and closed? If this is so,the righteous believers now will be with the Lord immediately after death? And if this is so,then the big judgement day is meant for the unbelievers only? Trusting that you will oblige again by forwarding your comments. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Tim Moran, My mind is very much at ease now and receptive to your concise and direct approach to the subject. Your statement:"So, I would say that untilChrist was resurrected,no one went to Heaven,not even Elijah and Enoch." has brought back my earlier question to my mind,"...where did God take them[Enoch andElijah] to?" Perhaps, God had taken them to another world which is far and beyond and which has yet to be discovered by the human race. Is this a possibility? With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Makarios, I note with appreciation your helpful and lengthy answear.However,in order to get to the gist of it I have to delete the frills, why and how. You said: [1]"Both Enoch and Elijah experienced being taken up into heaven alive by God". [2]"Therefore, no other man but Jesus could truthfully attribute to Himself the words that Jesus spoke of Himself in John3:13" [3]"Therefore, is there a contradiction between John3:13 and with what happened to Enoch and Elijah? No, there is not" My comments are: [1] You have admittedly said that both Enoch and Elijah were taken up to heaven alive by God. [2]In John 3:13 there are two parts: a."No one has ever gone into heaven"[no human being] b."Except the one who came down from heaven- the son of man" In the first part,viz.[a]above, Jesus was making a statement of truth. whilst in the secong part,viz,[b]Jesus was referring to Himself as you have said so. It would appear that your conclusion,viz[3]above is not being supported by the above analysis. However, I would invite you to comment further. with love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Pastor Glenn, Thanks for your prompt and excellent answear as commented by Makarios but unfortunately, I am still unable to draw a conclusion. Did Elijah and Enoch go up into heaven, if not, where did God take them to? Bearing in mind of what Jesus said in John3:13."....no one has ever gone into heaven.." Your comments will no doubt ease my mind. With love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi Tim/Steve, It has now come to my knowledge that I have made a mistake in mentioning Gabriel instead of Lucifer.Lucifer is the one. My apologies for the inconvenience caused. Trusting that you are now able to comment further. With Love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi Tim, Once again you have kindly come forward to impart your knowledge.Thanks. 1. You said "Scripture never says anything about Gabriel rebelling against God." If gabriel did not rebel against God, how come gabriel is now so opposed to Godand he is making every effort to tempt us to do the same? 2.You said "..I would say that He certainly know that Adam and Eve would disobey" It would seem illogical that God knew Adam and Eve would disobey His command and yet He allowed that to happen and thereafter displayed His anger.Displaying of anger signifies regrets? Your comments, please. With love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi EdB, Thanks for your response. Romans 5:13.You are right in saying that "there is no explicit list of crimes under which to place his rebellion against God" Yes, since his rebellion against God cannot be listed as crime in the absence of law,no sin is imputed. CONCLUSION[at this point in time] Romans2:12.WITHOUT LAW:Anyone who has sinned will be punished. Romans5:13.WITHOUT LAW:Anyone whose act may be rebellious in the eyes of God but cannot be listed as crime will not be punished[sin not imputed] Is the contradiction still there? Your clarification please. With love in Christ FytRobert |

Hi, Romans2:12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law. Romans5:13-for until the Law sin was in the world but sin is not imputed when there is no Law. These two verses appear to be contradictory? Your comments, please. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Kathy, Thanks for being so helpful. You see, I have a maid from Indonesia and I need some guidance from the Bible.Thanks again. P.S. Kathy,I hope you will permit me to take this opp- ortunity to express my feeling to the participants of this forum.I feel much perturbed to see some unpleasant expressions exchanged and I feel that I am the one who has caused it because of me putting forth that question. I therefore seek your forbearance. Before those learned people who possess vast knowledge of the Bible,decide to leave this forum, I would request them to think of people like me who come to this forum to seek guidance and to learn the word of our Lord Jesus. Did Jesus tell us to love one another and to forgive one another? Now we are one big family again!Amen With Love in Christ FytRobert |

137 | Searching for the truth | Deuteronomy | FytRobert | 101500 | ||
Hi, Our God is a very fair God. He is loving, caring and forgiving. But what is mentioned in DEUT.5:8 IS not very complimentary and in fact it is contrary to the good nature of God. Deut.5:8 ".....punishing the children for the sin of their fathers to the third and fouth generation of those who hate me...." Could it be possible that some misinterpretation/mis- tranlation have crept in? Your comments, please. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Ajxen7z4 This is a belated "Thank you" for having come to my rescue.I would have thought that by the manner and fashion I spelt out my comment especially in connection with the 2 commandments under discussion, it was obvious that I was in a zestful mood and my mind at that time was wishful too. However, I now realised that I had inadvertenly caused a couple of persons to feel hot in the collar though to cause unpleasantness was never in my mind.Nevertheless, I tender herewith my apologies. By the way, what was in Jesus mind when He said "All the law and the prophets hang on to these two commandments" Mat.22:40 refers. With love in Christ. FytRobert |

Hi Aixen7z4, LOVE is a very very powerful word, if not the most powerful word in the dictionary.lOVE encompasses everything that is spiritually, legally and morally good. When there is love in our hearts, minds and souls our actions respond to the goodness and dictates of our hearts.When there is love ,anger and hatred-the greatest enemies of mankind-are absent and anything that opposes to love will disappear. Having expounded the power of love, I now refer to your recent response and give an excerpt of the part on which I wish to comment. You said "What if we abolished all the old commandments and just kept two "love God" and "Love one another" Would you be in favour of that? That would keep us killing and stealing obviously, but also from adultery and envy" With spiritual love in our hearts the question of whether we are in favour of abolishing the old commandments does not arise and kept two i.e. 1.Love God. 2. Love one another. A big yes to these. If we comply with just these two commandments and live our lives accordingly,we shall be on good ground and when the time comes we shall be on our way to our desired final destination--Heaven With love in Christ.

Hi Emmaus, Thanks for your prompt reply but regretably,you are off the mark.In my question, there is no inkling at all as to whether God has changed His mind.My question was simple and direct.Are some of the Laws which were pronounced 2000 years plus ago are still relevant to-day? With your vast knowledge of the Bible and of the world, I am inclined to believe that you will be able to throw some light on this matter. With love in Christ. FytRobert |
