An Examination of Conditional Immortality (Part Two)

...h and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. There’s a lot packed into these...

Is there salvation for fallen angels?

...sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look! Christ came as the "second Adam" (1 Cor 15:45) to rectify the problems caused by the first Adam. We humans are all "in Adam" (1 Cor 15:22), whereas angels are not. They are sometimes called "sons of God" — we are the son of Adam, therefore Jesus' sacrifice is only effective for "Adam". The writer of Hebrews sums this up for us nicely by saying, “it is clear that [Jesus] did not come to help angels”, but those in whom he shared a nature with — us! (Heb 2:14-16) Whatever sins the angels have made (other than rebelling; cf. Rev 12:4,7-9) it is not covered by the blood of Jesus as far as we know....

Coffee With Jesus: Luke 24

...d back to heaven, they “worshipped him” (v.52) — something no Jewish person would do to anyone they thought was merely a human prophet. After this they then spent their days in the temple praising God (v.53). I hope this encourages you today to continue worshipping Jesus and praising God daily in your lives, and to keep our eyes open to see Jesus in those unexpected places.  ...

Does The UN Statue Resemble The End Times Beast From Daniel And Revelation?

...winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then, as I watched, its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a human being; and a human mind was given to it. Alright, Daniel does say the first beast “was like a lion and had eagles’ wings”, which I will admit, is pretty similar to the statue (except that it’s not a lion). I don’t know if Daniel would have been familiar with Jaguars which is why people are pointing out the phrase, “like a lion” due to the similarities of t...

Did the Early Church invent the Trinity?

...itness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Spirit; and these three are one’ (1 John 5:7)” — The Trinity 4:1–2 ~A.D. 515. The Rule of Faith (c. 523) But in the one true God and Trinity it is naturally true not only that God is one but also that he is a Trinity, for the reason that the true God himself is a Trinity of Persons and one in nature. Through this natural unity the whole Father is in the Son and in the Holy Spirit, and the whole Holy Spirit, too, is in the Father and in the Son. None of these is outside any of the others; because no one of them precedes any other of them in eternity or exceeds any other in greatness, or is superior to...

How was Jesus a sacrifice?

...e song in heaven is about how Jesus was the ransom payment in order to get us saints back to him! God is the victim here, with his loved ones being held hostage; and what is the captor? Sin and death. Jesus sacrificed himself and allowed himself to be the embodiment of the Passover lamb so that by his blood he could seal people and save them from death forever. He wasn’t a human sacrifice to God, but by God so that we can be set free from the slavery of sin and be raised to new life where “death will be no more” (Revelation 21:4)! John 8:36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Further Reading: https://hellochristian.com/3189-12...
