nds1, you seem to be ignoring my explanations and I certainly don't see anything in this thread that shows Adstar and I are disagreeing. Therefore, I...
Did you even read my post. I said : "... I used hell in the sense that the poll was speaking about it. ...". meaning the poll assumes hell is a...
nothing. death (i.e. the holding pen) is like sleep biblically speaking.
Yes I don't use the word bastard. I wouldn't recommend using it today in our poticially correct, hyper sensitive culture. I only used it because...
I don't think we disagree. I am not sure if we agree on what hell is (i.e. that temporary holding pen). My position is that the bible teaches that...
Peter 2:6 "and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward...
It certainly is not their fault, but the eventual compromising influence they would have had on the other Israelites would have spoiled the pot. The...

The bible is talking about passing down the affects of sin to the next generations. Like a mother on crack who has a crack baby.
I disagree with your premise. No one has gone to hell yet. hell happens after the 2nd coming of Jesus. clarification for those confused: I...
I think the context shows it is talking about the present earth because the following verses talk about "his house" and "his place" which are clear...
I don't understand your comment. Proof is not evidence, but evidence(s) should support the proof. 1st def. in Webster's says: "the cogency of...
Exactly what evidence do you need? If it existed. I am wondering if there is a way you could state the conditions: if this or that existed, then I...
Yes those texts are great and they describe the state of a dead human whether righteous or wicked until the resurrection. I am not saying that there...
The soul does not have everlasting life. Eze. 18:20 states "The soul that sins shall die."
