Re: sleep or judgment
I read and understand the same way a lot of what starhunter has understood, so he's not alone on this. I think the church(es) have influenced a lot of how people interpret what is written and really do not look at things any other way. How else can there be a resurrection from the dead if you don't...

Re: Who made the rule that death is the punishment for sin?
Who made the rule that death is the punishment for sin? God in His nature I suppose. The whole matter of whether the whole plan of salvation could of been done any other way without sin and punishment can be argued, but is there any other way to have done it? How can you maintain an order of things ...

What exactly is Armageddon?
Is it a gathering place or an event (battle)? What does the Bible say about it? Does it refer to either the end of the world or the final battle between good and evil?

Re: Mental illness or demonic possession?

Re: Who made the rule that death is the punishment for sin?
Why did God create us with sin in the world? This is a perpetual question for theologians and laity alike. When we look at the world and recognize that a holy and infinitely perfect God has created us, we can appreciate His majesty and wonder. But, it is impossible for us to ignore the fact that th...

Re: Could it be that salvation is not by faith alone..
