There is no scripture in our Holy Bible to back this. You would have to go to the book of Enoch to find something that would reference this.
In the book of Enoch, there is a great secret (which is why the people who put the Bible together kept it from Scripture). In the book of Enoch, John has a vision. He sees some of his friends in hell (in the absence of God). He falls to his knees and starts to cry. And Angel lifts him to his feet and tells him the great secret. The secret is all beings (including the devil himself) would be forgiven once they realize that they need God (Love). Some may have to spend a long time in the absence of God (or hell) before they realize this, according to the book of Enoch.
I don't I believe all this totally, but I do know that I must forgive to be forgiven. It is apparent that forgiveness is part of God and we are in His likeness. I know that I believe in a loving and merciful God who wants to forgive us all (if we would just give him the chance). And we must want to know Him to be given that chance. I really don't know about the truth of the great secret, I just have faith that God is just and loves us all. I pray for His forgiveness as I forgive those who trespass against me. And I believe that ultimately, Christ will judge us all differently. He will judge us according to what is in our heart. Hence the importance of forgiveness. He alone knows what is in our hearts and the decision is His to make.
Merry CHRISTmas.
Merry BLEEPmas!!
My bad. Dang PC is getting to me.
I can not leave it at that. Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!!!!!
Good point Kjam22
you know it Jodie was havin a fit and i said look i pointed to the blackboard we have in the kitchen that we write the daily menu on and i had wrote Merry Christmas she looked and just grinned and patted me on the back i was like hey there is a reason for this if they dont like it walk away or go away!!!!!
you are a tough one.
Thanks for standing up for CHRISTmas! Jesus is the reason we celebrate. We will include you, until you start wanting to change the reason. Then we must stand our ground, or have the reason taken from us.
I believe His name is Yeshua. And I believe that means Saviour.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Ignorance in action (on both sides).
The kid is nine years old and according to the mother, “He just lay on the rug and cried.”
The child has learned to be a whiner just like his mother. I wonder where the father is.
Yeshua is supposedly “correct” and it supposedly means “salvation”, but you have to go out of your way to get that meaning.
The King James Version uses “Jesus” and the King James and it stuck in English.
Joshua is the same name. In Hebrew “bar” means “son of”. So Joshua bar Abbas (father) means “Jesus son of the father” so when the people were asked who they wanted to free, they had a choice of Joshua son of the father, or Joshua Son of the Father.
so when the
Merry CHRISTmas.
I was close. Salvation is the act of saving.
“I was close’
You were right, it’s just that “Yeshua doesn’t have a one word translation in Hebrew.
Kinda makes you wonder who the better Christian is, the administrators or the boy.
Thanks for your valued input.
Much appreciated.
Excellent Point. Jesus is transliterated from the Greek. Correct me if I am wrong, but his name would be Joshua if transliterated from the Hebrew.
The greek alphabet is derived from the Hebrew. No J there either. Yeshua=Joshua=Jesus.
It seems to me that this is a public, not a private school. Does anyone know if that’s true?
Again, my question, show me the scripture that supports either action.
