“godless Israelites”?
OK, then.
Hey it’s Holy Thursday!!
Sometimes I forget the days of the week with this virus..
And my 87 year old mother usually reminds me a thousand times if I forget.
I hope a lot more religious threads are posted from now through Easter.
I’m going to have to study this. I don’t recall reading anything about a shoul paradise or a shoul hell.
this post is dangerously close to “replacement theology” - that implies that God is finished with the Jews.
God is faithful to His promises, regardless of even if the Jewish people are not.
He has in no way “replaced” the Jews, or His promises.
In Revelation, we see both Israel AND the Church.
He was not “surprised” that the Messiah was sold out. Look at the story of Joseph - he too, was sold by his brothers (after tossing into the pit symbolizing death), and yet Joseph became great and saved his brothers from death.
This is a picture of the Messiah. He will save his brothers from death. We gentiles are fortune to be “grafted in”. Remember that before casting stones. If we allow our pride to swell, we can be grafted out just as easily.
Agreed.
Concur.
Relax my man.. your reading way to much into something.. I’m am as pro Israel, per trib, anti replacement theology, as one can be. that’s what I am know for being here... it’s all good!
Maranatha BB!
Before Christ rose from the dead, dead people were either in "Abraham's Bosom" or hell. Read the story of Lazarus and the rich man. There was a gulf between them, but they could see each other. Lazarus was well cared for but the rich man wanted just one drop of water for his tongue. They were being held there until Jesus came. Now that Jesus has come, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,"
There were also godly Israelites...
Like godless Americans and godly Americans... check out Moses, Isaiah, Jerermaih, Ezekiel Matthew and John, Paul, John the Baptist and Jesus, God said it.. take it up with them, God’s messangers (Jesus said, Matt. 23, John 8).
That’s because it isn’t. Total fabrication.
I used to wonder how someone who was “buried” for less than a day and a half was said to be buried for three days.
Ancient Jews counted days based on whether a part of a day was included so late Friday afternoon, Jesus was crucified and buried. On Saturday, his body lay in the tomb and by early Sunday morning, He had risen.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. According to the way days were counted back then, that was three days.

I heered that thar Jesus feller mighta been one of ‘em!!
The hell of the dead was for everyone since the gates of heaven were not open. It was not a place of suffering, just of waiting.
The other hell is the hell of the damned.
After Jesus rose from the dead, the "gates of hell" of the dead were open, so those in that hell were freed.
Now there is just the hell of the damned.
“They were being held there until Jesus came.”

Didn’t see that bit in the parable.
Where did all this take place. Not the name...but location.
All of this sounds like other dimensions...but I am told those are not real.
This is the part that confused me as a youth, and stumps me today. It’s not a matter of faith. People speak of these places (heaven, hell, this place...) using physical descriptions. Yet, when pressed I learn they are ethereal.
It just doesn’t make sense.
From a purely editorial point of view, this article was difficult to read because of the sentence repetitions that occurred quite frequently.
Concur, but that’s not what you wrote.
Theological writing needs to be extremely precise.
Jesus talked about it, it is peppered through out the Bible, and check out the bible verses we provided to see, it is a neet truth and study.
Thanks for your reply.
And dem ‘postel fellers! Joos, the lot of ‘em!
