Questions

- Christ came to establish both an earthly and a spiritual kingdom. This is clear from the prophecies of both the Old and New Testaments. The establishment of the earthly kingdom promised to Israel in the great covenants of the...
- Scripture does not give us a great deal of information regarding a temporary place of the dead. We actually learn the most from Luke 16:19 and following, so a careful study of that passage would be most helpful. Let me st...
- It may be that the Lord did descend into the place of confined demonic spirits (tartarus) to make a glorious proclamation of the fact of the victory accomplished through the cross (1 Pet. 3:18-20). But Christ did not go there...
- Actually, the Bible does not tell us where Hell is located. In 2 Pet. 2:4, the statement, "cast them into hell," has been translated by some as "cast down to hell," but the Greek actually means, "cast into tartarus," a place ...
- I believe these passages do refer to the coming kingdom of which some of the disciples would get a preview in the transfiguration that immediately followed. But this does not negate the reality of a future millennial reign of...
- The whole issue of man's eternal separation from God revolves around God's holiness and man's sinfulness. As Habbakuk. 1:13 states, God's eyes are too pure to behold or approve evil and He cannot look upon sin. This does not ...
- This question has puzzled theologians for ages, and has occasioned discussions which have had no profitable issue. There is no source of reliable information but that contained in Scripture and that is of a very meager charac...
- What we often mean by the common use of the term "hell" is a place of torment for unbelievers. The final place of eternal torment for unbelievers is the lake of fire (Rev 20:10), but they will not be sent there by God until h...
- Consulting the dead is clearly condemned in Deuteronomy 18:11. We also see Saul attempting to do this just before his death in 1 Samuel chapter 28. As to the matter of soul sleep, I would look at texts like these: Luke 16...
- I've heard and read the same statement a number of times, but have never troubled myself to look up each passage. I'm not surprised that looking up "heaven" and "hell" in a concordance would give you contradictory results. T...
- There are some Christians who do not look for a personal reign of Christ on the earth. Those who do so, base their belief chiefly on such passages as Rev. 20:4-6, "They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign w...
- I have never heard this question before, but I think I can confidently say "No." 64:6 We are all like one who is unclean, all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. We all wither like a leaf;...
- "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor reviler...
- They are whom God chooses and calls (Ps. 65:4; Isa. 51:2; Rev. 19:9); they know Christ and his Gospel, believe and are not offended at Christ (Matt 16:16,17; Ps. 89:15; Matt 11:6; Luke 1:45). Their sins are forgiven and God i...
- The following material from The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia should be helpful here: III. Significant numbers Numbers are also used with a symbolical or theological significance. One is used to convey th...
- Those who are dead "in Christ" are in his presence now. This includes Old Testament saints (2 Cor 5:8; Phil. 1:23; cf. Matt 17:3 and Moses and Elijah in God's presence). Those who are dead in Christ now or before he comes for...
