Sheol is the grave.

No one is doing anything of the sort.

Impossible... such a place does not exist.

Nope.

Scripture is very clear about the fact that God stops some people from understanding or even doing what is right. Isa 63:17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. Joh 12:39...

Yeah, I had a quick look. What I was getting at, is that someone cannot believe in Christ unless it is given to them to believe, so why would the burn in hell for it?

Mat 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Mat 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Mat 16:15 He saith unto...

LOL! Yes.

How come the Pharisees didn't recognise Christ? These were highly educated men.

Simple... the person who wrote that article doesn't know what they are talking about. Ask that person to explain comparing spiritual with spiritual is, and watch their explaination. The other thing I forgot to mention is too, is that if your doctrines don't line up with that of Christ, those...

I think it's pretty obvious who the man traveilling into the far country is. It's also pretty obvious who the servents are. The servants are the called. Rom 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ...

I haven't sat down and done a study with the parable of talents, but the symbols are always the same, and all the parables fuction in the same way.

Parables are to be understood by looking up each symbol in scripture, to see what the interpretation of them is. It's not easy, but it is correct.

It's a parable made up of symbols, but you've treated it as a cautionary tale.

It's not 10 literal words. It's a parable! Pro 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Pro 25:12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire...

The talents of represent the word of God.

The second death is the resullt of being baptised with fire, which happens in the lake of fire. Just like there are two baptisms, there are two deaths. The first death is of the spirit, the second of the flesh. When the spirit is dead, the flesh is very much alive, but when the flesh is...

Not your bad at all. I wasn't correcting you at all, however... the lake of fire is about correction and refinement. Also, it's not a literal lake of fire.

Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of...
