A most powerful message. Thanks be to God for the blessings of the Holy Spirit of life breathed into every newborn Christian! May this message find resolve in our daily obedience by our "immersion" into the WORD of God and the finished work of Christ Jesus! I as a faithful child of God do pray blessings of love and fellowship by the Holy Spirit unto Calvery Church. AMEN!
The sermon really opened my eyes on the choice we have on being carnal or spiritual.It's a choice we have to make at every situation at every single day. The sermon was great except it was abruptly cut.
I have 3 questions we are taught. That hell is in the center of the Earth. Revelation 21 says I saw a new heaven and a new earth. for the old heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sea was also gone. Question number one if this Earth is gone I would assume the sea is gone. Does this meaning of sea mean evil is gone? Question number two, if hell is in the center of the Earth, where does it go? When the Earth is gone, satan is thrown into the Lake of fire, along with all those whose names are not written in the lamb's book of life before the Earth time.Revelation 21:4 old world and it's evils are gone. Where does Hell go? Question number three, if heaven and Earth disappear, there is no more evil in the second heaven does first second, and third heaven. All become one, and the new Earth will be in the center of it all for God is with man.?
The Bible nowhere teaches that hell is in the center of the earth, so that takes care of your first two questions. As for your third question, the Bible says that death and Hades are both thrown into the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 20:14) A common misconception concerning these things is to assume they must have a physical location when in fact they are spiritual in nature - not physical.
Pastor paul, you said ‘to be absent from the body IS to be present with the Lord’ when the bible never says that. Paul said: he is willing/rather to be absent from the body AND to be present with the Lord. Why do preachers always misinterprete that verse? isnt that adding and taking away from the word?
Hi , I have read your comment and I hope you wiĺl not object to me responding. It's so good to see that so many of us are tuning in to the Bible studies. We are studying God's word and we must therefore pray to Him for understanding. In the Bible and at 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul stated those words with confidence to the Corinthians . As Christians, today we benefit from them. He is helping us to see that death should not scare us because the moment you breathe your last breath on earth you are instantly transferred directly into the presence of God. Let us therefore continue to study and apply God's word.
