      The hell fire doctrine is pagan also. and the teaching of the immortal soul. the word hell was originally Hades. Which means The Grave. and the Soul can Die. Ezekiel 18: 20.
      If I wait, the grave is my house. Says Job. When we die, we go nowhere but the grave.
      John 3:13
      No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man.
      We sleep until the heavens are no more. It is only at the second coming of Christ when we will be rewarded with eternal life or eternal death.
      So dismiss ALL the accounts of those claiming to have died and went to heaven or Hell.
      The word of God should be our only guide, not the testimonies of others.
      The Bible says "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
      It doesn't matter how genuine a person's testimony of their NDE was.

      Everyone lives forever as man was made in the image of God. Lucifer and all angels live forever. The question is will you spend eternity with God, or without God. No man gets to God apart from Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life.

    There is the Seed of Abraham (Seed being singular); there is the seed of Abraham physically (descendants of Abraham according to the flesh); and there is the seed of Abraham spiritually (those who, like Abraham, have faith in God).
    The (singular) Seed of Abraham is Christ, as Galatians 3:16, quoting Genesis 12:7, says, “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.” The passage goes on to explain that an inheritance was promised to Abraham’s Seed (Christ) apart from the Law. Later, the Mosaic Law was introduced, but it did not annul the promises made to Abraham or to Abraham’s Seed (Christ).
    Just as Abraham believed God and his faith was counted as righteousness (Genesis 15:6), so are all today who believe in God’s Son justified apart from the Law. In this way, Abraham is the “father” of all who believe (Romans 4:11-17). “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).
    Paul sums up the difference between the seeds of Abraham in Romans 2:28-29: “A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.
    Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of ALL them that BELIEVE, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
    12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
    13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
    Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
    Gal. 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
    Gal.3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
    29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    Salvation in the old and new testament.. has always been by grace through faith.
    Not all Israelites that made those sacrifices we're saved.. only those who trusted in what the sacrifices pointed to we're. Which is in God's provision of a Savior.. a lamb 🐑 for sacrifice

    When Paul says “all Israel” he is referring to the fact that all believing gentiles and believing Jews are Israel. He clears this confusion with the statement in the earlier chapter in Romans 9:6 when he says “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children.” This is clear that Israel he talks about in ch. 10 is not referring to the entire nation of Israel but to the remnant of believing Jewish descended people and believing gentiles.

    Preterism so beautifully explains and exegetes the prophecies of both the Old and New Testament. Looking for some future physical explanations including a third temple that’s never been prophesied is just sort of sad. Jesus said ALL these things would be fulfilled IN HIS GENERATION, Matthew 24:34. He was right, bottom line. Adding more is just eisegesis. There are so many time texts that are overlooked today. A near future fulfillment for the first century and far past fulfillment for us.

The doctrine of the immortal soul is false and is PAGAN and is NOT according to what GOD has revealed in the sacred scriptures. When we die we are DEAD and we dont exist until the resurrections! All of christendoms doctrines are false and are evil! O they SEEM like they are true but they are NOT true! God does NOT keep people alive in some other place for thousands of years in some FABLED compartment of hades.There is NOONE in heaven except Christ who alone possesses immortality....and the rich man and lazerous is NOT a teaching about rich men burning in hell nor sick beggars who are alive in heaven! Ask God sincerely to show you the TRUTH about His plan and purpose for creation.....and get a LITERAL translation of the scriptures that is accurate and according to concordant meanings of the hebrew and greek and also keeps consistent in all meanings and translation!! The KJV is a terrible translation....it is a VERSION copied from the bishops copy that was translated from the latin vulgate!
