@pitty
@Heresy-I remember reading in some of these posts that you said your not baptized. Do you believe in baptism? As far as the bible goes, it pretty much gives me the impression that baptism is the only way to get into heaven. I mean it's the only way we know of. God is God, and I'm sure he can decide who he wants and who he doesn't want. But the only sure way we know of is baptism.
baptism is a SYMBOLIC act. your SALVATION is based on YESHUA dying for your sins. not if you become baptized. MANY will cast out devils and heal the sick and be CAST away. baptism = two fold symbolism.
1.showing you are ALIVE (standing in the water) DYING (going down) DEAD (in the water) RESURRECTED (coming out of the water).
2.symbolic of CLEANSING and removal of sins.
have i wanted to be baptized? YES. has it happened yet? nope. will it happen? yep.
some people will NEVER become baptized and still make it to the kingdom.
@ n9newunsixx5150 you said
This literal hell, is entirely impossible, unless you yourself can perceive of one who wishes to suffer eternally.
yet YESHUA SPOKE OF IT MORE TIMES THAN HE SPOKE OF HEAVEN.
IN MATT 13 YESHUA GIVES MANY PARABLES ABOUT HELL. WHEN ASKED TO ****NOT**** USE PARABLES BUT TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE REALLY MEANT HE BASICALLY TOLD THEM ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD AND THE GATHERING.
SO EITHER HE EXPLAINED A PARABLE WITH ANOTHER PARABLE (WHATS THE USE OF THAT???) OR HE GAVE THEM A LITERAL MEANING.
AS I STATED BEFORE *MAN* WAS **NOT** MADE FOR THE PLACE OF TORMENT. THIS PLACE OF TORMENT WAS NOT MADE FOR MAN. THIS PLACE OF TORMENT WAS MADE FOR THE REBELS.
NOW IF HELL IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERAL THAN WHY DID YESHUA STATE WHAT HE DID IN MATT 25:41?
NOW THE BIBLE *CLEARLY* STATES THAT MAN IS TO DIE (PHYSICAL DEATH) *ONCE* AND AFTER THAT BE *JUDGED*Hebrews 9:27. JUDGED FOR WHAT?
IF HELL IS ***NOT*** A LITERAL PLACE OF TORMENT YESHUA WAS ONE ****CONFUSED**** INDIVIDUAL.
IF IT WAS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERAL WHY WOULD HE SAY TO NOT FEAR THOSE WHO COULD DESTROY YOUR BODY BUT TO FEAR THE ONE WHO CAN DESTROY THE BODY AND SOUL IN HELL?
IF HELL IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERAL WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF YESHUA DYING? IF IT HAS TO DO WITH SIN WHAT IS YHWH'S REQUIRMENT FOR SIN?
An eternal suffering is an unreality.
ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES IT IS REALITY. IN Matthew 7:21-23 WHERE IS HE TELLING THEM TO DEPART TO? WHY IS HE TELLING THEM TO DEPART?
It doesn't matter what you have read, perhaps not everything is to be taken literally.
1.WHAT YOU READ *DOES* MATTER. 2Timothy:2:15-16, Hosea 4:6
2.ONE SHOULD STUDY THE HEBREW AND GREEK SCRIPTURES. TO SEE HOW THE WORDS ARE USED,IF THEY ARE MASCULINE OR FEMININE ETC ETC ETC.
3.YESHUA WAS SPEAKING LITERAL WHEN HE EXPLAINED HELL. HOW DO WE KNOW? HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM TO ***EXPLAIN*** WHAT HE MEANT ***WITHOUT*** SPEAKING IN PARABLES.
SO HE WAS EXPLAINING A PARABLE WITH A PARABLE? IF THATS THE CASE THEY WOULD HAVE ***NEVER*** COMPREHENDED WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
If a place of suffering does exist, first of all, it can not be taken as a literal "place" but must be conceived as a state of mind.
NOT TRUE. YESHUA SPOKE OF A LITERAL PLACE OF TORMENT. 2 PETER 2:4
SO YESHUA MUST HAVE BEEN HIGH ON SHROOMS TO SAY HE GIVES ETERNAL LIFE AND THAT SOME WILL ENTER ETERNAL DAMNATION. OR HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
MATT 25:31-46 IS *NOT* A PARABLE. HERE YESHUA IS EXPLAINING THE *FINAL* JUDGEMENT (AND SECOND DEATH).
IN VERSE 41 THOSE WHO ARE CURSED ARE TOLD TO DEPART INTO *EVERLASTING FIRE, PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS*
IN VERSE 46 HE CLEARLY STATES THAT THEY WILL GO INTO **EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT** BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO ETERNAL LIFE.
There is no place in the reality of God for an eternal suffering.
WELL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING I JUST TYPED.
1.WHEN YESHUA SPOKE IN PARABLES HE EXPLAINED THEM.
2.IF THERE IS NO PLACE OF ETERNAL TORMENT WHAT IS THE REWARD OF THE WICKED AND WHY DID YESHUA COME?
3.WHAT DOES YHWH REQUIRE FOR *SIN*?
Any reasoning beyond this is an illusion of seperation.
SIN=SEPERATION FROM GOD. SIN = SPIRITUAL DEATH (AND CAN *LEAD* TO PHYSICAL DEATH)
Adam and Eve fell due to their knowledge of good and evil.
YOU ARE IN ERROR. ADAM AND EVE DID *NOT* FALL BECAUSE THEY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND EVIL. ADAM AND EVE FELL BECAUSE THEY *SINNED* AGAINST ELOHAI. THEY WERE IN *DIRECT* REBELLION AGAINST YHWH.
You seem to be a very spiritually inclined person, Heresy. One must look beyond the scriptures. There are deeper meanings.
YESHUA DIDNT GO AROUND QUOTING FROM OTHER MATERIAL. HE STUCK TO THE SCRIPTURES HE HAD.
NOW I HAVE READ,RESEARCHED PONDERED OVER MANY THINGS. FROM TAO TO KABBALAH TO ISLAM. *NONE* OF THEM STAND THE TEST LIKE THE WORD OF YHWH.
ONE MUST LOOK TOWARDS THE *HOLY SPIRIT* FOR UNDERSTANDING.
