Thank you

Another important point ought to be made here, and that is of the quotation by Matthew in his Gospel from Isaiah. Matthew quotes from chapter 7, and verse 14 (there were no chapters and verses in the original Hebrew). It is a wrong assumption to argue, like some do, that verse 14 cannot refer to...

Of the modern versions, The Contemporary English Version has “virgin” in Isaiah 7:14, but has a lengthy footnote on this: “virgin: Or “young woman.” In this context the difficult Hebrew word did not imply a virgin birth. However, in the Greek translation made about 200 (B.C.)and used by the...

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” The very simple and Biblical answer to this question, is yes. The Apostle Matthew, who wrote under the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit, directly quotes this...

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know. Can you please tell me where, as I did a search and found articles year old? Cheers

I have just yesterday found out that "the Bible Answer Man", Hank Hanegraaff has left Evangelical Christianity, and converted to the Greek Orthodox church last month.I understand that others have also done this. From a search on the Internet, it seems that this denomination's teaching on...

Yes, I agree that we see this in both the Old and New Testaments. However, as a formulated teaching of the Church, the first two had much influence in the early centuries. Augustine, whose writings had great influence, held to the ransom theory.

Recapitulation - Irenaeus (ca. 130-202) Christ recapitulated in himself all the stages of human life that related to sin. In this way he reversed the course on which Adam, by his sin, started humanity. Ransom to Satan - Origen (ca. 185-254) Christ's death was a ransom paid to Satan for...

I remember someone who used to work for the bank of England many years ago, and I asked him how they could tell when any of the currency was not genuine. He told me that they spent many hours closely examining the genuine notes, so much so, that when they saw a fake, they could tell at once! I...

there are 100's of religions and belief's in the world today, which are in almost every Christian country, like here in England. Are you saying to be a good witness to these people, that I need to have to understand their viewpoints or beliefs? Your argument from Paul really says nothing, as...

Yes, well said!

The best way to evangelize anyone, regardless of which religion or faith they may be of, is to know your Bible. Prayerfully "study to show yourself approved to God" (2 Timothy 2:15), by meditating on His Word (Joshua 1:8), and using all available resources to dig deep into it., with the help of...

You forget that "destruction" is not the only word used in the Bible to describe the eternal fate of the unsaved wicked. Neither does it ever have the meaning "to destroy utterly so as to wipe out of existence". I have already shown this for those who wish to hear. Jesus Himself says that there...

Rich coming from you! I have seen some of your exchanges with "Happy"!. Just don't worry your head, as you are not "Admin"!

Its fine to have your own opinions, but please don't try to get involved in what others are saying just because they don't do things the same way as you. You have your way and I have mine. If you think I am Biblically wrong, then show me, otherwise don't criticize for the sake of it!

How can you say this this post is over the top? We are here dealing with the eternal destiny of millions of people, and every life is precious to the Lord. To promote the teaching of "annihilation", is a false doctrine, and cannot be from the Lord. There are many millions who will be deceived...

You are right, those who advocate "annihilation" do not have ANY Bible texts to support their "theory", and actually doing the devils work for him! They are no better than the Roman Catholics and their "Purgatory", which again is based on an unscriptural misunderstanding of what the Bible...

can you or anyone else show from the Bible, where "destruction" means "annihilation", as NONE of the Hebrew and Greek words used ever show this? I await the evidence.

For those who suppose that words like "destroy", have the meaning "annihilate", should take note of the following. In Genesis 19:29 we read: "Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He...
