But beyond the snark, "mindless" belief is always based on something. Consider the Tooth Fairy (to try to find an example that hasn't been overly emphasized in media--especially Hallmark Movies for Santa). Children are told this by their parents, and they believe their parents. This is NOT...

Funny how what you wrote isn't true.

Why do you think these are future prophecies regarding Egypt? The Jews in Ezekiel’s time (and Jeremiah’s) trusted in Egypt to save them from Nebuchadnezzar, but they didn’t/couldn’t. Egyptians were carried off captive to Babylonia, and allowed to go home about the same time as the Jews—40 years...

Thanks, GD. And welcome back. You’ve given good scripture to show that we are elect, which is agreement with @JudgeRightly and myself, but I couldn’t tell if you were answering my question to JR, which was to find out what he thought we were elect for, if not for salvation.

Begging the question. how do you know it was a spiritual death? It’s not in the context. My context, a couple chapters later, is closer than your context. You have nothing indicating Moses was just a bodiless soul. I agree I’m not too happy about my “rescue device”, as you call it. The best I...

It’s sad that you have to ignore what I post and try to post something that you think helps your argument more. I’m not saying it can’t be a 24 hour day, but it CAN be longer, as my examples show. Offering examples to show it can be just 24 hours doesn’t really help your argument. I’ve...

No, it doesn’t say you will eat of it in the day you eat of it. It says you will die in the day you eat if it. Two things have to happen in that day: eating and dying. Just like God made two greater things in the day He created the heavens and the earth. And just as there were two things that...

Sure I do. Genesis 5:5 (NKJV) So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. Neither do you here 👇 Genesis 2:4 (NKJV) This [is] the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

And gut-wrenching for David to watch as his son did to him on the rooftop what David did in secret: [2Sa 16:22 KJV] So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

David still died.

You brought up the souls under the altar in Rev 6:9 before. The picture is most likely prophetic in nature, but if you take it woodenly literally, as you called it, then why do those souls need to be restrained from enjoying the benefits of heaven by being held captive under the altar?? They are...

[Lev 5:7 KJV] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. [Lev 5:11 KJV] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or...

Response added, because I apparently didn't write anything useful about this in my last post: I'm not actually familiar with any sort of hell, personally. But if you are making the distinction between Hades and Gehenna, I have a hard time distinguishing between the two. They both hurt. They...

Euphemism: an inoffensive word or phrase substituted for one considered offensive or hurtful, esp one concerned with religion, sex, death, or excreta. Jesus used a euphemism for death when He said Lazarus slept. However, if you then say that "death = sleep", i.e., you hold to the euphemism as...

and @Idolater Interestingly, there's a margin note in the Geneva Bible that agrees with DLH. You probably already know that the Geneva Bible was an entire English translation produced in Switzerland around the time of the Reformation (John Calvin was still alive and in Switzerland) by English...

We could go back and forth all day on this, but I don’t see the point. The verse I cited from Hebrews says “in the day” was forty days. The verse I cited from Genesis was obviously not a single day, according to the previous chapter. Just because something happened within the same 24 hours...

You want to believe I said something I didn’t say, that’s up to you, but it’s not worth the time to me. Thanks anyway.

"In the day" is a prepositional phrase. It IS a modifier...of something else. Within the phrase is a preposition and an object of the preposition. The Object of the preposition is a noun, which has a modifier: "the". Also within the prepositional phrase is a dependent clause, "that the LORD God...

That's funny, because that's exactly what I was suggesting you were doing--taking Sunday School teachers' and poor translations as if they are God's word. However bad they might be as "substitutes", they are still good resources--even Sunday School teachers. Just like if you didn't know what...

And my position is that such isn’t the case--Adam and Eve died physically IN the day they ate the fruit. The construction of the sentence, without additional modifiers on "day" indicate that it means, or at least can mean, an "age", or a period of time. Like here: [Gen 2:4 KJV] These [are] the...
