Loooooolssss , Abraham pre - exist Abel . grin

That means Abraham came down from heaven like bible Jesus . Shey ?

You are actually telling me that Jesus Lied , when he said he is the only one that has come down from heaven _ john 3:13

Jesus : " no man has ever been to heaven except the one [ Jesus] who came from heaven , the son of man "

Ebony7: Stop lying , even abraham pre - exist and come down from heaven.

grin grin grin


Pheww! Now I get it! Seems u misconstrued "physical preexistence" for "spiritual preexistence"!
The "preexistence" the scripture was referring to was spiritual, not in the physical sense. Every T, D and H knows dt John was physically older.
---------------------------------
Once again, the only recorded preexistence history in d scripture is that of Jesus Christ!
Do you agree to ds assertion!
Re: How To Make It To Heaven!!! by MizJanet(f): 11:15am On Oct 30, 2015
Ebony7:


Truthfully, there's no Biblical record pinpointing that. So, I can't say a "yes/no"!
Conversely, if u had asked me, "is it possible for Abraham to preexist Abel?"
I'll say yes, it's possible!

How and why?There indeed is a precedence - d Jesus~John/Abraham scenario (Jn 1v 15, Jn 8v 56-58).

Heresy ! Heresy !
This is exactly what happen when you are teaching lies - assumptions , twisting , false reasoning e. T.c

Heresies on this thread :

A) you first said : Abraham bossom is a place beneath the earth ,

after you were caught red handed:

You said : Abraham bossom mean Abraham's arm , or side .

B ) to make it fix in with the direct and logical question : how can Abel go to the bossom of a man born many years later ?

You replied twistin some verses only to confess later that both agree that jesus is older spiritully . therefore void ur usage of dat verse

Now @ bold, u cant say yes/no , but yet you will twist som verse to say yes .

I've said it before, d only recorded details of preexistence is that of Jesus ~John/Abraham.
That of Abraham~Abel? It's not written that Abraham spiritually preexist Abel! Physically, Abel was d forerunner!

-------------------------------

Moreover, I still maintain that Abraham's bosom is a location BENEATH THE EARTH! (2 Sam 28v15).
You only considered d "breast/chest" definition of bosom, viz a viz the "location/vicinity/comfort zone" definition [Lk 16v19~26]. I outlined 4 different definitions in an earlier post and u disproved none of them-esp the 3rd.
Maybe d dictionary is wrong then-just saying.

And if I may ask, do you believe in d preexistence "story" of Jesus ~John/Abraham?

There's nothing heretic in what I said, which, for d avoidance of doubt, I've requoted.
Let me re-explain.
It's not recorded that Abraham spiritually preceded Abel. But "is it possible?" seems 2 be getting in d way here.
"Is it possible? " in this context is" does God Almighty have the Power/capability to do it?".
This is what I meant, that's why I asserted that "if He can do it for one, Jesus in ds case, He can jolly well do it for whosoever He wills", Psm 135v6, Lk1v37.

" NO MAN has ever been to heaven" - john 3:13

Mind you, Jesus was saying, "No man has ever ascended to heaven and come back to declare them the word of God, (No man on earth and still alive), because the bible said that God took methuselah, was abraham before methuselah.

stop trying to make sense out of non - sense , you re sounding silly .

You mean they make heaven without Jesus dying for their sins ? Have you forgotten that you guys said all have inherit sin and only the death of Jesus can cleanse it ?

You mean they were saved before Jesus died for them ? So Jesus death is useless since fear of God is only what is needed ?

The purpose of his death was to make us holy to inherit God's kingdom, so a man with the fear of God was considered worthy then (those days), because the bible said that "by the fear of God man depart from evil- Proverbs 16:6."

Re: How To Make It To Heaven!!! by Jozzy4: 8:13pm On Oct 30, 2015
Princewell2012 and Mizjanet ... come and see your friends here . Can you imagine that Abraham bossom is a Figurative Expression (which means it not to be taken literally) , yet this people will tell you that the fire of hades in the same parable is literal . Very funny

Story of richman and lazarus

Abraham bossom = figurative

Fire of hades = literal .
Random selection grin
Hypocrites , if one is figurative (symbolic) that renders everything figurative and if one is literal that renders all as literal .

I re-iterate: Jesus Christ was the only person on record to have
preexisted! No other person!
There are no record(s) of any other individual with this characteristic.
Kindly go through earlier posts please!
You have (through the underlined) basically re echoed what I had been saying all along!
.
Summary:
The only record of preexistence in the Bible is that of Jesus Christ as seen in John 1v15. There are no other record I've seen; nevertheless, God has d power to make any other person experience this characteristic if he so desires. Psm 135v6
This sums up the core of the discourse between MizJanet and I.

The figurative part pertains ONLY to illustration/example (of bosom) PRECEDING the "red", hence the "hence"!
It doesn't apply to all! My friend, the location was LITERAL!

Anywayz, itz bn a lovely "conversation".

What to take home?
1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Matt 16v15-16
2. No other way to God. He's the ONLY WAY Jn 14v6
3. To enter the Kingdom of God, thou MUST be born again! Jn 3v3
4. Only Jesus Christ was recorded as having preexistence in the Bible Jn 1v15. No other person with such record in the Bible (neither Abraham nor Abel nor Moses etc)

I like the way you people contradict yourselves .

then you just prove Jesus is not the way , Daniel nd moses made heaven without Jesus dying for their sins ? Yes Or No grin grin




Friend , you can never understand this even if I put it into your brain. God's word is a mystery that can only be unravelled by his wisdom.


Those people made it to heaven cos they believed in God. The word "born again" means believing in " God " through Jesus christ because all powers in heaven and earth has been given unto him by God.

Just like when Pharaoh handed over all authorities unto Joseph.

Please Bible isn't what you interpret words for words, it requires God's divine wisdom.

From this post above , we can see that you are telling us that if Jesus did not die for us , NOBODY will be holy to inherit Gods Kingdom

To avoid confusion , i asked further : who re the us ?

And u replied :


Livin4Christ
All Humans (God's Creation)


Clearly , then it means none of us ( all humans) can be holy to inherit Gods kingdom without Jesus dying for us .

We can now ask : why would God allow unclean humans like Noah to make heaven ? Remember they are unclean since its only the death of Jesus that will make humans holy.

Noah and others that went to heaven were just a few fellow who made it to heaven, but the purpose of God sending Jesus to the earth is to make a way of escape for all, for indeed all are sinners and hence their righteous works cannot suffice, but that they should receive Jesus to have access to God and heaven, because he is the way, truth and Life, like I told you before, that before Jesus came some few men have gone to heaven already, Like Moses and Elijah (which i am sure of according to the book of Matthew 17:1-5) evidently the bible said that Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus, which was a proof that they were actually alive (in heaven and not in hell), as no one from hell will come and commune with Jesus, because they cannot come out and does not have any fellowship with Jesus (- Isaiah 14: 7-8; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15) . So the purpose of Jesus death, is for all to enter into God's Kingdom, when Jesus died the bible recorded that some men resurrected with him, among whom were called saints Matthew 27:52-53 which states that some men were not in heaven yet but they were probably in abraham's bosom waiting for their redemption.]

And whatever we don't understand is bigger than us, we only have to pray for knowledge and understanding.

He did not die. God took him, Hebrews 11:5. It pleased God to take him because he pleased God, amidst the temptation to displease Him (GOD) so that is God's Question not mine. The main purpose why God is angry with humanity is disobedient and sinfulness, so if God finds someone who serves him and do his will, he is Righteous to admit such.
