  1. If humanity does not really die or die for a short time, perhaps 1 or 2 seconds. Then why do followers of Jesus Christ need Christ to return?? With the dead in Christ only being raised from the dead when Jesus Christ returns before the 1000 year period, shows that humanity needs Jesus Christ. Also after the 1,000 year period the devil and the demons will get placed in prison. Then there will be a second resurrection of judgement with Jesus Christ part of the judgement when working with God his Father. This also shows that humanity needs Jesus Christ to have eternal life and NOT Satan the god of this age and world now. This can be read in Revelation chapter 20. Revelation 20:11-15 The Great White Throne Judgment 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (NKJV) In addition, it has the Book of Life with humanity being judged more favorably than others who will be placed into the lake of fire. As worded with the figurative “book of life”, some or perhaps even a majority who will be judged as read in Revelation 20:15 may be “found written in the book of life” (KJV). Then they will not need to be “cast into the lake of fire” and may be able to enter the gates in the new heaven and earth. Chapter 21 has information on the new heaven and earth. Revelation 21:25-27 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life. (NIV) This Christian ministry in Texas has information about this controversial subject. https://lifehopeandtruth.com/life/life-after-death/what-is-heaven/go-to-heaven/
  2. Regarding the topic of death as physical and spiritual. The following is from the Nelson Bible Dictionary and NOT VPW. DEATH A term which, when applied to the lower orders of living things such as plants and animals, means the end of life. With reference to human beings, however, death is not the end of life. The Bible teaches that man is more than a physical creature; he is also a spiritual being. For man, therefore, physical death does not mean the end of existence but the end of life as we know it and the transition to another dimension in which our conscious existence continues. The Bible speaks of death in a threefold way: physical, spiritual, and eternal. The first physical death of a human being recorded in the Bible is that of Abel, who was murdered by his brother Cain (Genesis 4:8). However, death itself, in both the physical and spiritual sense, is first mentioned by God Himself (Genesis 2:17). In the Genesis account of the FALL both physical and spiritual death come as a result of sin (Romans 5:12-21). Various attitudes toward death are expressed in the Bible, from dread to anticipation. The ancient Hebrews regarded death as entrance into SHEOL, where they were cut off from everything dear in life, including God and loved ones. But God revealed to the psalmist that the Redeemer God is both in heaven and in Sheol (Psalms 139:7-8), and He is able to bring a person out of Sheol ("the grave"; 1 Samuel 2:6). Because "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), all men are spiritually dead-separated from God who is the Source of spiritual life. Sin makes a person hate the light and despise the truth; it causes one to break God's laws and to become insensitive to holy things. Everyone who has not been redeemed by Christ is spiritually dead (Luke 15:32; Ephesians 2:1-3; Colossians 2:13). (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright © 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
  3. Do you at least see that physical death began as worded in Genesis chapter 3? Do you at least see less of a spiritual connection with God? Followers of Jesus Christ can see that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ with Jesus now seated at the right hand of God. Then beginning in the first century with the receiving of the Holy Spirit as a gift from God, that there is more of a spiritual connection now between God and human followers of Christ. Genesis 3:1-13 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'" 4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" 10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." 11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" 12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me — she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." NIV
  4. Do you actually believe that? There was spiritual death in Genesis chapter 3 and then future physical death, which humanity has now. The serpent or devil is really good at deception with false things. I do not recommend believing the devil and the demons, which I figuratively call spiritual .... ants. Please pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ and NOT the spiritual god of this world.
  5. Regarding the word soul from the bible. Here is information from the very informative Nelson Bible Dictionary. SOUL A word with two distinct meanings in the Bible: 1. That which makes a human or animal body alive. This usage of the word soul refers to life in the physical body. The best example of this usage are those passages in the New Testament in which the Greek word for soul is translated as life. "For whoever desires to save his life [soul] will lose it," Jesus declared, "but whoever loses his life [soul] for My sake and the gospel's will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" (Mark 8:36-37). This idea is also present in the Old Testament. For example, the soul of a dying person departed at death (Genesis 35:18). The prophet Elijah brought a child back to life by stretching himself upon the child three times and praying that God would let the child's soul come back into him (1 Kings 17:19-23). 2. The word soul also refers to the inner life of man, the seat of his emotions, and the center of human personality. The first use of the word soul in the Old Testament expresses this meaning: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (soul)" (Genesis 2:7). This means more than being given physical life; the biblical writer declares that man became a "living soul," or a person, a human being, one distinct from all other animals. The soul is described as the seat of many emotions and desires: the desire for food (Deuteronomy 12:20-21), love (Song of Solomon 1:7), longing for God (Psalms 63:1), rejoicing (Psalms 86:4), knowing (Psalms 139:14), and memory (Lamentations 3:20). In the New Testament, Jesus spoke of his soul as being "exceedingly sorrowful" (Matthew 26:38). Mary, the mother of Jesus, proclaimed that her soul "magnifies the Lord" (Luke 1:46). John prayed that Gaius would "prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2). (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright © 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) Regarding soul referring to life in the physical body. This involves the ability to breath which is needed for our physical bodies.
  6. It reads like Cman is making his own bible version, but if you are not then simply type which verses you quoting from and even the version. However, perhaps this is a new bible version called the CMAN bible.
  7. Thank you for helping me laugh, but I instead use a bible study software program. Hopefully a bible study software program is not intimidating. Regarding Revelation chapter 20. Has the devil in the last number of years ever been locked up so that the devil or Satan can not deceive humanity for a 1,000 year period of time? Then there would be no wars with people living longer and at least a Christ like mindset for humanity. Revelation 20:1-3 1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time. (NIV)
  8. A very good example of a religious person closing his eyes when reading scriptures that are not in harmony with his religious beliefs. This part of Revelation 20:11-15 is after Revelation 20:1-6 with the 1,000 year period with Jesus Christ being assisted by his followers or those in Christ who were raised from the dead. This assistance might even be the authority to judge. Revelation 20:4-6 4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. (NIV)
  9. Revelation 20:11-15 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (NIV) Most people on this forum here can read all the words of the scriptures, without closing their eyes with certain words, for example the words dead, judged or death. It looks to me like the person sitting on the great white throne, while judging will be and is Jesus Christ. One problem though with me is that I do NOT have a special religious title of Reverend or in the 1st century Pharisee or Sadducee. However, I can at least read all the words of the scriptures without needing to close my eyes with certain words.
  10. Do people sometimes think that people who started wars so that they could make money or people that committed crimes so that they could also make money were resurrected after death also? The following verses show judgement with people being judged favorably and being in the book of life. Also people judged unfavorably and being thrown or placed in the lake of fire. The Greek word for fire is "puros", which represents spiritual from God and that includes the judgement of God. Revelation 20:12-15 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire (puros). (New International Version)
  11. Hell is simply the grave or the place of the dead. For example, there are NO usages of the word hell for the Old Testament in most newer versions of the bible. Instead the Hebrew Old Testament word with English letters spelled as "sheol" or "sheowl" is primarily translated as "the grave". For example, the New International Version (NIV®) for 1984 does not have any usages of the word “hell” in the entire Old Testament. The following is a link to a TRUTHFUL teaching about the FALSE concept of hell. https://www.bereanbiblechurch.org/transcripts/topical/eternal-punishment-pt01-hell-no.htm
  12. Because of your religious beliefs, you want to ignore what other people have learned from the bible. When you say FEAR is what you are promoting. NO, I do NOT believe in the ERRANT religious theology of eternal torment for people in their earthly lives who did not see Jesus Christ as their Lord. The EXACT OPPOSITE is true. I have NEVER promoted this false religious theology and I have been working to teach people that God is a God of love and not hateful. My goal is that Christians should see that Jesus Christ is the loving and NOT hateful savior of humanity. At least one of the Christian denominations believe in eternal torment. The Baptist church and I live next to a Berean Baptist church building that has a good size building and a parking lot. The following is a link to a web site about this. https://faith.edu/faith-news/evangelicals-and-the-doctrine-of-eternal-punishment/
  13. Christians often have more deception today than they did with the original creation of humanity. Sometimes Christian organizations or denominations do NOT believe in death, but instead teach that most people go to hell with eternal torment and only some people go to heaven to be with God. This relates to the mythology or myths of hell. I wonder if the priority for people going to heaven after they breath their last physical breath is being part of their denomination??? Instead, the bible teaches that there will be two resurrections of the dead, as taught in the book of Revelation, chapter 20. The first resurrection is to be with Christ while being part of the 1000 year period. Then the second Resurrection of judgement. People that did not commit crimes in their lives will be judged more favorably than people who committed crimes and perhaps were never even charged for their crime. Revelation 20:12-15 12 And I saw the dead (nekros), small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (hades or the grave) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell (hades or the grave) were cast into the lake of fire (puros). This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (puros). (KJV) The final chapters of the book of Revelation gives some thoughts or perhaps even detail about the new heaven and earth and the book of life for humanity. In addition, a Christian Ministry a few miles north of Dallas, Texas that has a web site which they teach from has the following teaching about this subject. Do We Go to Heaven When We Die? by Andy Burnett and Erik Jones What actually happens when we die? Do Christians go to heaven after death? Or maybe—the other place? What the Bible says happens after death may surprise you. https://lifehopeandtruth.com/life/life-after-death/what-is-heaven/go-to-heaven/
  14. I do not recommend believing the first deception spoken to humanity by the serpent or the devil. In quoting from the book, "Our Loving Savior Jesus Christ", near the beginning of the chapter, "When Will the Dead Be Made Alive Through Jesus Christ?"
  15. You can learn how to do this by watching a YouTube educational video. https://www.youtube.com/ Simply when going to this very good web site, type in what you are wanting to learn, then you will be directed to a few YouTube videos that can be learned from. I often learn from watching a YouTube video. I even learned how to use the very good software program, Adobe InDesign, how to do my biblical teaching book and make it ready for printing by a company that has the machinery to print books.
  16. For file saving security the way I double check this potential problem with a computer bad crash. I save my computer files in a small USB flash drive. This USB small device can save many files and is small so that it can be placed in a pocket and be with you where ever you go. For example, I used or use four computer software programs to write and author my biblical teaching book, Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator for the graphics and Microsoft Excel to help organize the scripture index at the end of the book. Then after typing the files with editing also, I save them in a USB flash drive and then was able to transfer the files to another of the three primary computers that I currently use. We get much more help from technology than they got in the first century when the New Testament was first written. For example, when a physician Luke hand wrote the gospel of Luke and book of Acts and made a small spelling error. Did he have an eraser to erase the spelling error and then hand write the correct spelling? Or did he need to cross out the misspelled word and hand write the correct spelling? Therefore they needed more help from our heavenly Father to write the original New Testament and Old Testament. Luke also likely got help from a very knowledgeable Paul who received revelation from Jesus Christ to write his epistles. In the book of Acts, Paul is mentioned by far the most amount of times compared to other writings of the New Testament. For example, using my very good bible study software program which I give credit to in the first two pages that has copy right information. Paul is mentioned from the New King James Version 127 times of the 156 times that Paul is mentioned in the New Testament. Using math this shows 81.4%.
  17. After receiving about 300 spam emails a week. The spam fraud emails stopped for about one week. Perhaps they stopped because I was not a good theft customer for them. However, today I received more spam fraud emails like I stated above. The most work is deleting these spam fraud emails. Perhaps I am NOT a good spam email customer. I do not want to set a world record for the number of FALSE spam emails. However, it is OK for me to set a WEIRD record instead of a WORLD record.
  18. A few minutes ago I went to the web site: https://www.secureserver.net/ and was sent to a blank page with NOTHING on the web page. Also I experimented minutes ago by sending an email to an email address that is NOT in existence to check what email I receive when sending an email to an email address that does NOT exist.
  19. This month of February, 2023, I have been receiving a number of countless emails sent to my business email address from mailer-daemon@secureserver.net. These spam emails have 3 links at the top, which I do NOT want to risk clicking. Then the following: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently: * info@sendia.com.mx Reason: There was an error while attempting to deliver your message with [Subject: "Acción necesaria: Verifique su cuenta"] to info@sendia.com.mx.

For example a FEW are the following: mail@papalotes.mx, contacto@inlimex.com.mx, info@reborninmobiliaria.com.mx, info@tfd.mx, contacto@esam.com.mx, contacto@johnnyrocketsmexico.com Again, I wonder if I will set a world or weird record of receiving emails like this????????? However, I do not want to break that record. Any suggestions for how I do not break this record?
  20. This band, especially the singer is really good at barking and growling. Hopefully they are also good at wagging their tails, especially the singer. My advise to them is "wag more, bark less". I use this figurative wording in one of the chapters of my biblical teaching book named "Lordship of Jesus Christ Contrasting the Lordship of Imperfect Man". I originally wrote the first draft of this chapter years ago as I was leaving TWI.
  21. Humanity can be the image of God after death is destroyed and humanity bows down to Jesus Christ and sees Jesus in a favorable way as Lord and someone to follow with the same or at least a similar loving mindset. More detail for this is read in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. Regarding God's love, this is read in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13.
  22. In essence that is what I heard in the late 1970s while listening to a tape from a Sunday teaching by VPW. As I remember, VPW said that he agreed with the Roman Catholic Church regarding the religious belief that the Pope was the Vicar of Christ. In practical application, while VPW was the leader of TWI, VPW also saw himself as the earthly representative of Christ and as "the teacher" instead of "a teacher", as I remember from the Power for Abundant Living class. However, at least most of and perhaps all of his books don't have that hierarchical and errant teaching.
  23. Using figurative language, wag or purr more, bark or growl less as dogs and cats can do. Regarding hopefully at least, a not controversial subject of free will for humanity as quoted from the book, "Our Loving Savior Jesus Christ", is the following in chapter 11, named "1 Corinthians 14 Prophecy to Edify the Church":
  24. Very good and I give you a grade of A for your post. However, God and Jesus Christ could instead give you a grade of A+. That is God's goal through his Son Jesus Christ to reconcile all, especially all of humanity under Jesus Christ his Son. And the biblical teaching book, Our Loving Savior Jesus Christ, that I wrote points this out perhaps as the main theme of the book. As an example in quoting from this book is the following in chapter 12 named "1 Corinthians 15 Resurrection from the Dead Through Jesus Christ ".
  25. That is good that the commentary of Colossians 1:27, which I have quoted from below, understands that “Christ in you” represents the Spirit of Christ, which according to Romans 8:9, also represents the “Spirit of God”, which also can be called the “Holy Spirit” which we know was first given on the day of Pentecost according to Acts 2:1-4. Jesus Christ before he ascended to heaven to be with God his Father knew about this as read in Acts 1:4-8.
