    What about the people that hadn't heard - could they have lived a fulfiling live?

    Hello Herriot. We are not told to judge God but trust in Christ. What is is because He determines all things that happen. Faith comes by hearing and those who do not hear are not saved. It is God who determines who hears and hears not and who hears and believes and those who hear and do...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. LK 16:27 "He answered, `Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Rev 20:10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. To me it means the raising of the dead at the last day but I know it also means a bringing back from the dead like Lazarus. On The Day of Judgement the dead will rise, some to shame and everlasting torment and the others to a life on a renewed earth. We are men. We were not...

    Hello mee. That's just the point isn't it mee? If they were not real then why should Jesus say say nothing of what you have seen? MT 17:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. Thanks. If I find time I will go and have a look. They are wrong to call you a Prot that's for sure. I have answered your question with the words of Christ Himself. JN 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." He rose Himself. He...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Good afternoon Bandit. You sure? I don't believe you as your post is far from peaceful. Whoever calls on the Name of Christ is saved, whoever does not is not. And you? Do you believe that Heaven is open to other faiths? I shall not hold my breath waiting for an answer though as answers...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Good morning Bandit. Not all of it. What I speak about I know, what I am not sure about I say 'I think'. Your welcome to your opinion of course but you are hasty in judgement. You do not know me from a couple of posts do you? That's because you do not accept scripture? If you don't...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello Bandit. But you said it's not like that so how can you say it's to get a glimpse of a reality when we are shown things not real? Yet we are told that God is able ...to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 2 Peter 2:9. I was pointing out a...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. One God three persons. Each person distinct but inseparable. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Distinction of the...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. I agree. Moses could do nothing but what God worked through him. Divinity can mean a celestial being inferior to the supreme God but superior to man. Thomas said, "My Lord and my God." Is He God? You are misunderstanding firstborn. Firstborn means preeminent not the first...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello Bandit. Except the story of Lazarus and the richman? I shall take it that when you say you 'take most of the bible literal' that when you read a thing that thing says what it means and means what it says? That's the way I read the bible. So you do not take the story of the richman...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. There's no rush man. While He was asleep? He performed the miracle of waking up when He was asleep you say? John 5:19 ...whatever the Father does the Son also does. Why? that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello Everyone. First, the story of the richman and Lazarus is not a parable but the record of an actual historical event. I have never made any connection between Laz and Laz before. People with the same name often appear in scripture. For this to work Luke 16:19-31 must have been told...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    Hello tommy. But I thought you were saying that a person who is dead is asleep, in a non-state. If that is so then how does one do anything when one is not? Either Jesus was conscious after He died on the cross or He wasn't. I was under the impression that you were saying that death...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    If you hold to the authority of scripture tommy then you must believe Jesus raised Himself, Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." John 2:19. He says He will raise Himself. Are you are making a mistake in believing greater means better? Greater...

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    If this is true tommy then how did Jesus rise Himself from the dead? Adam and Eve had a blood sacrifice for them how do you say they are unforgiven? GE 3:21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. john.

    Did Lazerus' soul rise when he died?

    David knew he would live in the house of the Lord forever did he not? Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall live in the house of the Lord forever. He was not looking forward to a time when he would live there but live there forever as he wrote. Samuel, 1...

    Hello star light nice to meet you. Elijah is Elijah in the NT. There are two occasions Jesus would be coming to earth. Once was when He was born as the Saviour of His people and the second time, yet to be, to be the Judge. ISA 61:2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of...
