I have not looked into this translation error yet but yes it does go on.

What also worries me too is pluralism i.e. all god's are the same.

Not even professional philosophers can adequately answer this:

What is the truth in "truth is relative" and dont give a relative answer.

Bear this logic in mind so you are not swayed.

Oh piglets!

No brothers and sisters there are no other gods! Deuteronomy 6:4-9!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother, the reason This Particular Verse is so important is the following:

The second chance!

[Edited for space]

I've heard this before in the context of the question of what does God do for those who've lived in times and places where the gospel of Jesus Christ had not yet reached.  In other words, what about those who've never had the opportunity to hear the gospel?   There seem to be two general classes of answers I've heard from Christians.  The first is basically a "tough luck for them" type of answer where not hearing the gospel is automatic condemnation whether either due to God's sovereignty of not having chosen them as elect to be saved or the fault of lazy Christians who don't evangelize enough.   The second is that God's grace and mercy and love does indeed extend to do something (whether in life or after) to offer salvation to everyone through Jesus Christ in some manner even if Christians never reached them with the gospel.

"to those who are now dead" instead of "to the dead".

So......Dead meaning "dead in disbelieve or dead in their sins"?  I take it. Not dead,  as in, being dead not breathing.  Is this right?

No, dear sister, it just says "the dead". Nothing else is added, not "in disbelief", not "in their sin", just "the dead".

Yes, my brother, that is how many questions we can answer if we just diligently study The Bible! We must PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for BLESSING us with the opportunity to finally have open access to various Sourse Texts, as well as being able to compare many different translations and commentaries. After all those centuries, after The Bible being chained to a wall and guarded so that No one could read it, after so much money being paid in the form of indulgence, we are finally BLESSED with seeing THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very important word .....  (not accurate nor in line with Scripture) .....   "after".....  

Those whom God judges,  everyone "outside the Ekklesia" as written in His Word,

He judges perfectly, righteously, mercifully,  with no mistake, no error, no injustice ever, not even one tiny point, spot or shadow.   All of His Judgment is Perfect,  all of the time,  in all things.

God shows mercy on whom He chooses to show mercy.   This is His Judgment when and when not,  with no unrighteousness in Him,  ever,  no, not ever.

This is an account given by Jesus that depicts the finality of our choices after death.  Notice, the rich man wasn't offered salvation after death.  And Lazarus was not sent  back to preach salvation or warn the living. 

 

 

Luke Chapter 16

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

- Not the proverb Lazarus, but the real life Lazarus that JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!! raised from the dead did come back from the dead. He was from the city whose name translates as "house of he poor". 

- Who did the rich man ask for salvation? He asked a man! Abraham is a man!

Now the key question is:

WHO!!!!!!!!!!!! shall we ask for salvation?

- Consider the following: while alive, Lazarus was right at the rich man's gate, suffering and thirsty. The rich man probably had enough water at his place. What stopped him from helping the suffering Lazarus? Was there any barrier between the 2? Was there anything dividing them? Why didn't he show compassion to Lazarus? Isn't that the main point of The Proverb? I think it is, however, that is just my opinion. That brings me to the main point: 

- Lets study MATTHEW 13: 10-17. That tells us that Proverbs are puzzles. They have hidden meaning. Their meaning is concealed from the ordinary people. Aren't we all ordinary?

Question:  Do you also not believe any of the Old Testament is for us? 

My dear sister, that is not what I'm saying at all! Just look at Romans 11:26 in combination with MATTHEW 11:20-26! 

Again, I'm not suggesting that we should "take it easy" when it comes to sin. In fact I'm trying my very best to say and do the opposite, as much as I can.

- JOSHUA 7;

Deuteronomy 28;

Deuteronomy 32;

Leviticus 26;

1 Peter 3:18-22 - the dead had been imprisoned since the flood. Even though, THE SUPREME WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! REACHED them, they had been imprisoned for about 3000 years at that time.

ISAIAH 61:1-2!!!!!!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
