"Death" (Gk: thanatos) does not mean torment in Greek-never. Its parallel is in Romans 6:23 which is the gift of "eternal life" for the believer. The setting is clearly eschatological. The "wages of sin" will be the sinners" loss of life (death) at the end of the age. It is ...
What does this mean? What is “negative reality”? If I lack food, how is this not an example of a “very existent reality”? If I am cruel and bereft of compassion, ask the victims of my cruelty whether my cruelty was an “existent reality”! Obviously, it is. Common sense will ...
Regardless of any other definition that may be applicable outside of the church, we believe that biblically the term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one genetic man and one genetic woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. (Genesis 2:18-25; Matthew ...
too. This is only important because it does agree with the Bible. If all of science said abortion was OK and the Bible declares it to be murder, then science is wrong. But in this cases there is no doubt that Biblically, Biologically, and even Morally...

What does that mean to you? We all have an innate sense that there is more than what the eye can see. However, since we do not see it, we often fail to believe in it. If we do not believe in it, then we cannot be aware of all that is going on, for an...
Or, again, does the Bible seem to prohibit marriage, and particularly slave-ee intermarriage, for female slaves? I shall argue, first, that the two terms as used biblically are synonyms. The most likely reason, in my opinion, for the presence of two terms is that each has a ...
Well, my parents said I was Biblically inspired...John. Pretty basic. But what are some of the names we just don't see 'in vogue' anymore? What are the LEAST popular baby names now? A name is important. It's something a child will carry til at least 18, and if they don't like...
