Annihilationism "Other distinctive SDA [Seventh Day Adventist] teachings include . . . the doctrine of “soul sleep,” a misnomer for the belief that between death and resurrection one is essentially non-existent except in the memory of God; the annihilation of the wicked (as opposed to conscious torment for eternity). "The soul-sleep doctrine conflicts with the gospel because, closely examined and fully understood, it actually constitutes a denial of the resurrection (though it is doubtful any SDA understands it to be so). Notwithstanding a smattering of “proof-texts,” the annihilation doctrine is definitely aberrant from the teaching of the Bible. It leaves the sinner facing no eternal consequences for his sin; angst over annihilation will not survive annihilation. Indeed, many people today think annihilation preferable to even this life. They live on only because they cannot shake the conviction that there is “hell to pay.” God has set eternity in their hearts (Eccl. 3:11)" ____________________ Source: www.watchman.org/profile/sdapro.htm |

Annihilation and resurrection? "The Bible teaches us that we have an existence away from our bodies once we die. The Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect. We continue on after death." - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Does Annihilation and resurrection make sense? 'According to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, when you die, you cease to exist: Let God be True, p. 59, 60, 67. On Judgment Day, only faithful Jehovah's Witnesses will be resurrected to life eternal on Paradise Earth. The rest of all mankind will be annihilated, wiped out, made to not exist with no eternal punishment in a fiery hell. 'There is a logical problem with this view. If a Jehovah's Witnesses believes that he ceases to exist when he dies and that he will be resurrected at the Judgment Day, then is he really being resurrected? In other words, if he was alive and then has ceased to exist, he is in the same state he was before he was created. That is, he isn't. He has no existence. He is gone. The only remnant of this person would be in the memory of God (not counting family and friends, etc.). Only God would know if this Jehovah's Witness was good enough for Paradise Earth. If he was, then the reward would be a new creation of someone in the exact image of the Jehovah's Witness who previously lived and did all the works mandated by the Watchtower Organization. But, it wouldn't be the exact same person, because that person ceased to exist and there is no continuity, no continuance of the person since he has ceased to be. 'Therefore, on Judgment day, how can he be resurrected? That is, how is he, as the same person, resurrected when he doesn't exist anymore? Is he the exact same person or has God make an exact copy of the person upon which to shower the blessings of Paradise Earth? 'It would seem that simple logic would contradict the idea of existence, non-existence, and then existence all being the same person. It also contradicts scripture which says, '"We are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord," (2 Cor. 5:8). I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven," (2 Cor. 12:2). 'The Bible teaches us that we have an existence away from our bodies once we die. The Jehovah's Witnesses are incorrect. We continue on after death." (www.carm.org/jw/annihilation.htm) |

224 | What is effeminate | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 172040 | ||
When all else fails and everyone is finished guessing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to look it up in the dictionary. effeminate "1 : having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner" Merriam-Webster Online (http://m-w.com/) Grace to you, Kalos |
||||||
225 | What is effeminate | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 172044 | ||
Hank is quite right, of course. Had you asked what the word effeminate means as it used in a particular Bible verse, I would have replied differently than I did. However, when the question was "What is effeminate", with no biblical reference, I merely gave the ordinary definition of the English word Grace to you, Kalos |

If there is a book, chapter and verse in the entire Bible that teaches a man or woman must catch their spouse in the very act of adultery before they can obtain a divorce, then I don't know where to find such a verse. Is that even in the Bible? Grace to you, Kalos |

Tim: On the one hand, it's like I heard on Christian radio (David Jeremiah): "If you are the only one who believes something in the Bible, then you don't want to go around talking about it." I.e., if you are the only one who believes a certain thing -- a certain interpretaion. ____________________ "Just because I studied the Word and arrived at a conclusion does not mean that it is correct." ____________________ 'Do my conclusions agree or disagree with related areas of scripture and others who have studied the passage? (From the article "Biblical Interpretation" at Christian Apologetcis and Research Ministry) '...I’ve already presented other verses which seem to agree with my conclusion. However, it is not in agreement with all of the commentaries I’ve read on this verse. At this point I would need to present my conclusion to others to see what they think. Just because I studied the Word and arrived at a conclusion does not mean that it is correct. But it doesn’t mean it is wrong either. 'By consulting with others, by examining the word again, and by seeking God and his illumination, I can only hope to arrive at the best possible conclusion about a passage...' (To read more, see "Biblical Interpretation" at: www.carm.org/bible/interpret.htm) 1 John 2:27 '"You have no need for anyone to teach you." Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole; there is no ground here for a hyper-individualistic understanding of the Gospel wherein the views of other believers and the gathering of believers together are considered unimportant' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). On the other hand, going to SCRIPTURE FIRST and the commentators only second is a principle with which I agree 100 percent.

Mark: I have heard two old sayings about commentaries. I think there is truth in both of them. They are: The best commentary is a good translation. The Bible is its own best commentary. "The best commentary is a good translation." Many times when I have looked up a difficult verse in another translation, especially the Amplified and the NLT, I found my question answered and understood the verse well enough to continue reading. "The Bible is its own best commentary." John MacArthur writes: "One of the basic principles of biblical interpretation is the analogia scriptura, the analogy of Scripture. In other words, we must compare Scripture with Scripture in order to understand its full and proper sense. And since the Bible doesn't contradict itself, any interpretation of a specific passage that contradicts the general teaching of the Bible is to be rejected." Grace to you, Kalos |

238 | should we confess to a priest or not? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 173424 | ||
As I understand it, Got Questions is NOT saying we should confess to a priest based on Matthew 16 or 18. What Got Questions is doing is explaining that the Roman CATHOLIC CHURCH bases THEIR practice of confession on THEIR interpretation of Matthew 18. Therefore, I have no problem with what Got Questions is saying. | ||||||

'B. ...what God actually does when He saves a soul. '1. He loves to the uttermost. '2. He purposes to keep in spite of everything. '3. He intends to present us faultless before Himself. '4. His Son ever lives to make intercession to keep us saved. '5. His Spirit has placed us into the Body of Christ. '6. His Spirit has sealed us until the day of redemption. '7. His Word guarantees that nothing (including ourselves) can separate us from Christ. 'In order to lose one's salvation all of these works of God would have to be undone, and THE BIBLE NOWHERE EVEN HINTS THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE. 'C. The Problem Passages. '1. Hebrews 6:4-6. If this teaches that one can lose his salvation, it also teaches that one can never be saved a second time. '2. John 15:6. Probably refers to the judgment seat of Christ. '3. James 2:14-26. Nonworking faith is not a faith that saves in the first place. '4. 2 Peter 2 and Jude are referring to false teachers, who in Jude's estimation were not true believers (Jude 19; compare Rom. 8:9).
