Not the same as you, apparently. An extrapolation from the text... The beggar was carried, the rich man was buried. You can't bury a spirit, but it seems to compare the two at this point. Right, that's why I say it's an extrapolation from the text. You are applying your view of Jesus'...

Sorry about the computer problems. Duh. Of course I will strive (not strain) to find some interpretation that supports my view instead of the opposite one. And what I did was point out a hole in YOUR interpretation of II Cor 5:6, which you haven't answered yet (I know...computer problems). I...

Remember how Peter spoke about David? Acts 2:29 KJV — Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. And: Acts 2:34 KJV — For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The...

Rather, "Hold my Bud Light."

Yes No. Abraham isn't mentioned. And the sea. Don't forget about the sea. See? No Abraham. What did the angels carry? And how does it compare with the rich man's fate? Not "only". But that's one usage. Amen! Yes, that all makes sense. God breathed into man the breath of life (one version...

Hi Clete. I'm probably on ignore, so you might not see this, but I wanted to address it anyway. And normally I would go through it comment-by-comment--maybe I still will. But I think it's better that I explain again why I'm doing this thread. My transition to Open Theism brought me to this site...

The girl with colitis goes by.

We're supposed to do that already, But we're not already in the position to judge angels, so there's something/someone else we'll be judging.

What exactly do we govern/judge in the universe (kosmos)?

The women come towards the tomb, but haven't arrived yet. The sky isn't light yet: [Jhn 20:1 KJV] The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, ... [Mat 28:1 KJV] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the...

I saw your OP when you first posted it, and I wanted to attempt it, but didn't have time--it involves a fair amount of cutting and pasting, along with detailed commentary. I probably still don't have time, but I'd like to try soon.

Here's how I responded previously

I guess that's like the Calvinists inventing TULIP in response to the Remonstrants at Dort.

The proof is that it is 2023 AD.

They were both in the state of Colorado at the time. 😀

When my son was only about 3, someone asked him if he had any brothers. He replied, "No, but I have a sister and she has a brother." I thought that was pretty clever for a 3 year old.

Seems like your examples are backwards, with New York being called New York before it existed. Does sin make us stupid (as Bob liked to tell us)? Yet we don't call death "stupidity". Just because sin separates us from someone doesn't mean we're dead. Sin separates us emotionally from our...

Ok. Thanks for clarifying. It actually says He put the spirit/breath into man (Adam), not "into his body". In other words, the spirit/breath of life was added to man to make man a living soul. [Gen 2:7 KJV] And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils...

Are you saying "death" is just a figure of speech? I'll come back to that later. No apology needed, these threads are impossible to read in entirety, and although this ground has been covered, it's the primary topic of the thread, and needs to be reiterated. So I'll try to do that. My question...

How else would you refer to them? If a bunch of people had disembarked from a plane, what would you call them? Wouldn't it be "passengers"? But they, having already disembarked, are no longer passengers. What did God call Adam while he was still alive? He called him "dust", even though he...
