    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Why was the tomb empty? If a new body was created, then the old body must have been around somewhere. Can you show me a scripture passage where the soul is reunited with the body before judgment? And I think you're saying that the original body of the unbeliever is raised and reunited (since...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    And you have a passage in the bible that says the plates were made at a different time in history? Please tell me where to find it. I don't see how describing a theory of how the world was made and how it changed at the flood is atheistic in any respect, unless it actually denies the existence...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    Why do you say that (the part about scientific creationism being far from God)?

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    You'd have me believe that a brand new body had scars on it? That's odd. Agreed. Why? Why take the trouble to resurrect a body just to destroy it? Remember that many of these bodies have long since turned to dust. Why resurrect such a thing, reconstituting it for a judgment photo opportunities...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    The body dies, and is then resurrected. It must be an essential part of a man, or there would be no need to resurrect it. Jesus was resurrected in the same body He died in, and He will never die again, which means He's stuck with that body for all eternity. That's the picture of our...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    One more thing @Bladerunner. This from Job explains that we can't do a bunch of things once our body stops functioning: Job 27:3-6 KJV — All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    The firmament CALLED heaven is the earth. You guys keep leaving that part out. The story is about the creation of 2 things, the heavens and the earth. But somehow the firmament called heaven is really the earth, and the firmament that is not called heaven is the firmament of heaven. And you...

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Then you're retracting this part: Added: In case you didn't understand, if the body is part of you, then it can't also be not a part of you. If the soul is all of you, and the body us part of you, then the soul doesn't exist without the body. Genesis supports this when it says the body with...

    Our Moral God

    All of God's truth is in an untrustworthy bible? Then we would have to have a priest of some sort explain it to us, to tell us which parts are fact and which fiction. That's what those reformers were trying to reform from, so the common man could read the Bible in his own language without the...

    A missing Link to Genesis 1:6 God said, “I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.”

    Yeah, it's pretty confusing that the crust of the earth is called "heavens", and the firmament of the heavens is not the one under those heavens.

    Our Moral God

    But how could the Holy Spirit allow a version to be published that only corrected some errors? That means the Holy Spirit was OK with the remaining errors. And, how do you know that the corrections have all been made? Might there be more corrections needed? Maybe some of the things that were...

    Why could it not happen more quickly, if the Holy Spirit were guiding the translators? Are you saying that they changed the text back to what it originally was, but not right away? In other words, they made some mistakes in their translation at first? When did they finally get it all right?

    Our Moral God

    And, because your translation of the Bible was written after those >1000 years, and because the texts used at that time for generating your English translation were copies made during those >1000 years, your sect must have used corrupted Greek and Hebrew texts, in your view. Your own position...

    Then you're saying that the gates of hell have prevailed against the true church for over 1000 years, right?

    Is eternal suffering literal?

    Then my body, being part of me, is part of my soul, since you say my soul is ALL of me. Yes, I agree with you.
