Will Hell be the Eternal abode of the Unbeliever? Will Heaven be the Eternal abode of the Believer?

by

The Eternal abode of the Unbeliever and Believer Will Hell be the Eternal abode of the Unbeliever? Will Heaven be the Eternal abode of the Believer? At the time of the second resurrection, the bodies of the unsaved will be resurrected, and the souls of Hell will be removed to be reunited with their bodies.

Hell is a place of torment for the soul only, but the Lake …

A while ago I found a blog article on the subject of our friend Mr. Tannenbaum.

Prophets and Apostles… Are They Here Today?

by

To qualify as a prophet, one must receive direct revelation from God. As in the Old Testament, a prophet needs to be tested by giving some near prophecies which must come to pass (Acts 21:10-11, 33). Furthermore, a prophet could even write Scripture which would be inspired and without error. As for the qualification of an apostle, there are two groups of apostleship. The first group requires that one had to have been a follower of Jesus from the baptism of John. He was first to have been a disciple of John the Baptist, then to have followed Jesus, and to …
