    Featured writings of Paul have a lot of repeating as if an honest editor . . . . Plus was Christ and Resurrection first believed to happen in Heaven ? ??

    this is broadly, i guess universally? translated as “to them,” when i suggest that “from them” might be more easily established, but you decide, https://biblehub.com/lexicon/romans/8-1.htm There is, after all, plenty of condemnation to them who are in Christ, which the Bible even details, even...

    Featured Is Trump picking Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General some kind of “fake out” move?

    Im sure even Trump recognizes that we are in a pop decline, and new blood is required? Iow i doubt that there will be any mass deportations, even if we are starting to see that bandied about

    What do you want to do, in the context of overcoming?

    Im not sure what Jesus had in mind there tbh, so im trying to envision that; seems like we’re all damaged some kind of way, which the Bible even talks about being crushed, which idk if that is related or not, but i wonder if it isnt about overcoming our essential shortcoming maybe? Which might...

    What do you want to do, in the context of overcoming?

    Featured Is Hell a place for eternal punishment?

    Well, i think hitler went to the grave, as we all will, since he was a soul. So it would be more like hitler as a little child, maybe?

    Featured Is Hell a place for eternal punishment?

    Although, “the dead” apparently refs the soul and not the spirit in John’s vision—which i would again caution against taking too literally—there does seem to be some overlap in the def of soul and spirit, too; one is breath, the other wind, so kinda similar? Prolly best to decide for yourself...

    Featured Is Hell a place for eternal punishment?

    Fwiw a study of the two “eternals” with aionos and aidios delineated is pretty interesting, not that i would attempt the subject without first understanding the cult of sol And just for the record, the spirit returns to God, Who gave it, right? Which is why i dont get too plexed up about where...

    Featured Is Hell a place for eternal punishment?

    i never said that there were no instances of “forever” in the Bible, Scooter, and what is clear is that, as you have already stated, you would rather die than change your mind. Which i even remember, btw; it is the essence of being under the law, and eating the fruit of knowledge, but i guess...
