What does the Bible teach about the Trinity? NOT A THING The word Trinity is not found anywhere in Scripture. But we have the voice from heaven, Jesus, and the dove, that's 3 in all. And in the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” and we learn that the Lord has a Son (actually, a bunch of them). Jesus speaks to the Father about sending the Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16–17). So, Jesus did not consider Himself to be either the Father or the Holy Spirit. Was He talking to Himself? No way. He may have been a tad unhinged, but not THAT crazy. The dad commands the son and they together send off the spirit like their dog. But they are equal, believe it or not. It just never comes to a vote. The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent. But they are not just roles, but actually persons, whatever that may mean. We don't know, so you just have to trust us and repeat our words. The most difficult thing about the Christian concept of the Trinity is that there is no way to completely understand it or explain it. It is plain gobbledygook. Ultimately, how a single Being can exist in three distinct Persons is as incomprehensible to us as it is to Jews and Muslims.
ellauri478.html on line 211: 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
ellauri478.html on line 213: This is both a blessing and a command. Along with the surrounding verses in Genesis 1, it explains the purpose for which man was created, and the obligations that man has because of that purpose. Specifically, God intended to establish his kingdom on the earth, just as it already existed in heaven. Human beings were created in order to be the rulers and administrators of that kingdom as well as to minister to God as his short order cooks. This is a huge job that requires many, many people. Adam could not multiply on his own, so Eve was created to make multiplication possible. The more human beings that populate the earth, the more images of God there are to honor him. But not all have to multiply, e.g. half god Jeesus was exempt. Others can take supporting roles. Insofar as supporting the work of the human race implies marriage and children only for specific well endowed individuals, and insofar as particular Christians may be those individuals, we are obligated to help them to marry and to have children. Making Christian children has historically been way more successful than conversion in expanding and maintaining the numbers of faithful worshipers of God.
ellauri480.html on line 165: The iron-age Yahwist inscription of Cuntillet ʿAjrud in the Sinai Peninsula pairs Yahweh with Asherah. Scholars argue that it is a generic name for any consort of Yahweh. Asherah was the goddess of the sea while "her husband El" was the god of 'heaven.' She was believed to be the mediator between the worshipper and Yahweh, as a bottomless precursor of Virgin Mary. Early references to Asherah poles in the Hebrew Bible (i.e. Deuteronomy 16:21–22) were built on the awareness that Yahweh had a consort, from the perspective of many Israelites. The pro-Yahwist prophets and priests who went "You shall not plant any tree as a sacred pole beside the altar that you make for the Lord your God; nor shall you set up a stone pillar—things that the Lord your God hates" were the "innovators" whilst Asherah worshippers were the "traditionalists". The association with temple prostitution is now debated. It has proved hard to differentiate between true prostitution and sacred sex without remuneration. But on Hammurabi´s code of laws, the rights and good name of female sacred sexual priestesses were protected.

ellauri481.html on line 106: Dante’s tightly structured, exquisitely symmetrical epic poem traces his imaginary journey down into hell in the Inferno, accompanied by – who else? – the poet Virgil. Sure enough, things start off badly in the Divine Comedy with a low sentiment score that sinks further as the duo descend through the circles of hell. (There is a trace of ‘man in a hole’ here, which in this case is as literally true as things could be in such an allegorical text.) Having miraculously survived hell, they next climb the Mountain of Purgatory where the souls of the excommunicated, slothful and lustful reside, and Beatrice – Dante’s ideal woman – eventually replaces Virgil as his companion. The pair’s ascent into heaven in the Paradiso is marked by growing joy as the poet comprehends the true nature of virtue and his soul becomes one with “the Love which moves the sun and the other stars”. Notwithstanding that, the story gets boring as hell after hell and almost no reader has the stsmina to wade through the gooey paradise part.
ellauri483.html on line 657: Yes, Satan plays a role in Judaism, but it is fundamentally different from the Christian concept of a fallen angel or devil. In Judaism, Satan is viewed as a loyal agent subservient to God, acting as a heavenly prosecutor or tester (tempter) who tempts human beings to sin and then reports their transgressions. The term satan is usually translated as "adversary," "accuser," or "hinderer" rather than a proper noun for a malicious being. Satan is not an independent entity fighting against God but functions as a spiritual force used by God to test human freedom of choice. Satan cannot act without God's permission. He has no choice like reluctant criminals in anglo saxon tv series. So whatever bad comes from Satan is God's doing. In Jewish tradition, Satan is often considered a metaphor for the yetzer hara (the evil inclination), the sinful impulse inherent within humans rather than an external entity. Satan mainly plays a role in the book of Job, where he acts as an accuser, challenging Job’s loyalty to God. Judaism rejects the notion of dualism (good vs. evil as equals), maintaining that all power, good or bad, comes from God. He is no friend of yours, he is the boss.

Devine, now a peer, is helping them. The only experiment described is the perfusion of a severed human head, through which the devil issues his commands. They are also hoping to resurrect Merlin, who has been asleep for fifteen centuries in their neighbourhood. Their aim appears to be the acquisition of superhuman power and of immortality; though how this is to be done is far from clear, just as it is far from clear why a severed head perfused with blood should live longer than a normal one, or be a more suitable instrument for the devil. However, Mr. Ransom is too much for them. He obtains the assistance not only of Merlin, but of the angels who guide the planets on their paths, and regulate the lives of their inhabitants. These angels arrive at his house, whose other inhabitants become in their turn mercurial, venereal (but decorously so), martial, saturnine, and jovial, but fortunately not lunatic. Merlin and the angels smash up the National Institute and a small university town, Frost and Wither are damned, and Ransom ascends into heaven, bound for Venus, where he is to meet Kings Arthur and Melchizedek, and other select humans who escape death. One Grammarian's Funeral less, in fact.

ellauri499.html on line 266: Baʻal's widely used epithet is "rider (or mounter, tshihi) of the clouds". (rkb ʿrpt, cf. rkb bʿrbt in Ps. 68:4; Ugaritic rkb ʿrpt.) These are related to Zeus's "gatherer of the clouds" and Yahweh's "rider of the heavens". Like the English word ride, rkb has equine and sexual uses.
ellauri499.html on line 289: 1 Kings 18 records an anecdote of a contest between the prophet Elijah and Jezebel's priests. Both sides offered a sacrifice to their respective gods: Baʻal failed to light his followers' sacrifice while Yahweh's heavenly fire burnt Elijah's altar to ashes, even after it had been soaked with water. The observers then followed Elijah's instructions to slay the priests of Baʿal, after which it began to rain, showing Yahweh's mastery over the weather. Other references to the priests of Baʿal describe their burning of incense in prayer and their offering of sacrifice while adorned in special vestments. The title baʿal was initially a synonym of the Hebrew adon ("Lord") and adonai ("My Lords") still used as aliases of the Lord of Israel Yahweh. According to some scholars, the early Hebrews did use the names Baʿal ("Lord") and Baʿali ("My Lord") in reference to the Lord of Israel, just as Baʿal farther north designated the Lord of Ugarit or Lebanon. This occurred both directly and as the divine element of some Hebrew theophoric names. However, according to others it is not certain that the name Baal was definitely applied to Yahweh in early Israelite history. The component Baal in proper names is mostly applied to worshippers of Baal, or descendants of the worshippers of Baal. Names including the element Baʿal presumably in reference to Yahweh include the judge Gideon (also known as Jerubaʿal, lit. "The Lord Strives"), Saul's son Eshbaʿal ("The Lord is Great"), and David's son Beeliada ("The Lord Knows"). The name Bealiah ("The Lord is Jah"; "Yahweh is Baʿal" combined the two. However John Day states that as far as the names Eshbaʻal, Meribaʻal, and Beeliada (that is, Baʻaliada), are concerned it is not certain whether they simply allude to the Canaanite god Baʻal, or are intended to equate Yahweh with Baʻal, or have no connection to Baʻal]. It was the program of Jezebel, in the 9th century BC, to introduce into Israel's capital city of Samaria her Phoenician worship of Baal as opposed to the worship of Yahweh that made her name anathema to the chauvinists.
ellauri499.html on line 301: In the 1863 edition of Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal Baʿal Zebub (Hebrew: בעל זבוב, lit. "Fly-Lord") occurs in the first chapter of the Second Book of Kings as the name of the Philistine god of Ekron. In it, Ahaziah, king of Israel, is said to have consulted the priests of Baʿal Zebub as to whether he would survive the injuries from his recent fall. The prophet Elijah, incensed at this impiety, then foretold that he would die quickly, raining heavenly fire on the soldiers sent to punish him for doing so. Jewish scholars have interpreted the title of "Lord of the Flies" as the Hebrew way of calling Baʿal a pile of dung and his followers vermin, although others argue for a link to power over causing and curing pestilence and thus suitable for Ahaziah's question. The Septuagint renders the name as Baälzeboúb (βααλζεβούβ) and as "Baʿal of Flies" (βααλ μυιων, Baäl muion). Symmachus the Ebionite rendered it as Beëlzeboúl (Βεελζεβούλ), possibly reflecting its original sense. This has been proposed to have been B‘l Zbl, Ugaritic for "Prince Baal".
ellauri499.html on line 302: Among the Westies, the various forms of Baʿal were indifferently rendered in classical sources as Belus (Ancient Greek: Βῆλος, Bē̂los). An example is Josephus, who states that Jezebel "built a temple to the god of the Tyrians, which they call Belus". This describes the Baʿal of Tyre, Melqart. Herrmann identifies the Demarus/Demarous figure mentioned by Philo Byblius as Baʿal] Baʿal Hammon, however, was identified with the Greek Cronos and the Roman Saturn as the Zabul Saturn. He was probably never equated with Melqart, although this assertion appears in older scholarship. Christianity edit Beelzebub or Beelzebul was identified by the writers of the New Testament as Satan, "prince" (i.e., king) of the demons. John Milton's 1667 epic Paradise Lost describes the fallen angels collecting around Satan, stating that, though their heavenly names had been "blotted out and ras'd", they would acquire new ones "wandring o're the Earth" as false gods. Baalim and Ashtaroth are given as the collective names of the male and female demons (respectively) who came from between the "bordering flood of old Euphrates" and "the Brook that parts Egypt from Syrian ground"
ellauri499.html on line 500: Bart the slanderer points to earlier passages like Job 14:11–12, where the author states with absolute clarity that when a human dies, they do not wake up or rise again: "So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep." For this great poet of the ancient Israelite tradition, life comes no more once a person is dead. There is no life after life. Only death after life.
ellauri501.html on line 263: 4. The Heavenly Consolation The conclusion of Milton's elegy for Diodati ends with a vision of Diodati in heaven, surrounded by celestial songs and divine love. This specific theological comfort—that earthly loss and brokenness are ultimately redeemed by divine grace—became the structural foundation of Paradise Lost. Though Adam and Eve lose paradise and must step out into a harsh world, they leave wand in hand, comforted by the promise of many juicy replays.
ellauri501.html on line 277: Resurrected Individuals' bonds are dissolved: Watchtower doctrine teaches that death legally breaks the marriage tie. But wait! There is now a "Wait and See" Policy: Historically, Jehovah's Witnesses taught that resurrected ones would not marry based on Jesus' words in Luke 20:34-36. However, a major 2014 Watchtower update shifted this stance to a non-dogmatic "wait and see" approach. Current Stance: The Governing Body states it is unclear if Jesus was referring to the earthly or heavenly resurrection. Therefore, they do not definitively say whether resurrected ones can marry or engage in sexual intimacy. (It would be shameful waste if they can't!)

16 sivustoa Ah, you are referring to Matthew 24:36! That clarifies it perfectly. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus says: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Bible Gateway According to mainstream Christian theology (the Trinity), the Son (Jesus) and the Dad/Father (God) are the same divine being (God), yet the Son claims He does not know the time of His own return. This seeming paradox is explained through two main concepts:
ellauri502.html on line 98: 3. The "Post-Resurrection" Upgrade It is worth noting that after Jesus died, came back to life, and went back to heaven, His state changed. In Matthew 24, He is a limited human walking the earth. After the resurrection, in Matthew 28:18, He says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Most scholars believe that once He returned to His divine state, He re-accessed all that data. So, if you asked Jesus the date before the crucifixion, He'd honestly say, "I don't know." If you ask Him now in heaven, He knows. Does separating the Father in heaven from the Son's human brain on Earth make it seem less like a "two brains in one head" situation?

ellauri502.html on line 310: An important theological question! Modern theologians say that pets can come to heaven with you because otherwise you'd be sad and nobody is sad up there. Pari ratione, my nonbeliever wife must get up with me because otherwise I'd be sad.
ellauri502.html on line 313: By the strict logic of emotional-consequence theology, your conclusion follows your premise, though traditional orthodoxy resolves the paradox quite differently.The Logic of the "No Sadness" ArgumentThe Premise: If heaven is defined by the total absence of grief or tears (Revelation 21:4), then anything whose absence would cause you sorrow cannot remain absent.The Extension (pari ratione): By this rule, if missing your dog makes you sad, the dog is there. If missing your nonbeliever spouse makes you sad, logical symmetry demands they are there too, or your joy is incomplete.
ellauri502.html on line 315: The Traditional Theological Counter-Argument - A Shift in Perspective: Most historical theologians (like Thomas Aquinas or Augustine) argued that heavenly joy is not dependent on earthly attachments or satisfying every human preference. Alignment with Divine Justice: Traditional teaching suggests that in heaven, human perception is so perfectly aligned with God's justice that the absence of a loved one does not cause sorrow. Instead, souls accept the ultimate reality of moral choices without grief. Actuslly you'll be passing glad that your wife gets what was coming to her.
ellauri502.html on line 317: The Free-Will Problem: Unlike pets, which operate on instinct, a nonbeliever spouse exercises autonomous free will. Traditional theology maintains that God respects a person's explicit choice to reject the faith, meaning forcing them into heaven would override their agency. Think how mad she'd be if she was dragged from hell to heaven against her will!
ellauri502.html on line 320: I get it: you'll get turned to an unfeeling eel as a side effect of redemption. Think how mad my wife would be if she was dragged to heaven when she had elected Hell!
ellauri502.html on line 322: Your image of the "unfeeling eel" captures a classic philosophical critique of the traditional view: if saving you requires changing your core identity so you no longer care about your spouse, did you actually get saved? And you hit on a profound point about your wife's perspective. C.S. Lewis famously wrote about this exact scenario in The Great Divorce. He argued that forcing someone into heaven who doesn't want to be there would actually be a form of torture for them, not a reward. In his view heaven is an acquired taste: To someone who rejects God, the surreality of heaven would feel blinding and intrusive and the music sickening. The "Locked Gates": Lewis famously said, "There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thine own silly will be done.'" If she explicitly elected Hell, dragging her to Heaven would override her free will, turning paradise into her personal prison. If you want to keep exploring this, we could look into C.S. Lewis's full description of how heaven looks to a nonbeliever, or look at the Eastern Orthodox view, which suggests Heaven and Hell are actually the exact same place—just experienced differently based on your attitude toward God. Which one sounds more interesting?

ellauri504.html on line 292: P.S. Christian Research Institute says yes there will be sex in heaven but no vaginal penetration. In the new heaven and new earth, sex will no longer be for the purpose of procreation. Nor will it involve sexual intercourse, for “at the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). It remains unsaid what angels do but not doggy style antway, seeing they got no backsides. I guess it stops at oral sex. Also unclear if resurrection includes re-erection.
ellauri504.html on line 294: Bible Hub has this to add: Paul the Fag said no: Angels do not engage in marital or sexual relationships (Hebrews 1:7). This does not suggest that resurrected humans become angels or cease to retain personal identity. Rather, it indicates a transformation beyond mortal concerns such as hunger, procreation, and aging. Archaeological findings at Qumran, coupled with New Testament manuscripts, confirm that the early Christians firmly preserved the view of a resurrected body freed from earthly limitations such as max 6” reach. Some wonder if a lack of sexual relationships implies a lack of intimacy or reduced joy in heaven. However, Scripture leads to the conclusion that believers’ joy will be complete (Psalm 16:11; Revelation 21:4). The ultimate believer-God relationship is depicted as a fully satisfying union with Christ (Revelation 19:7-9). This surpasses any earthly pleasure, as it involves unhindered "fellowship" with God himself. This climax of existence is wholly gratifying, enveloping every redeemed desire in the fullest reality of "fellowship" with God.
ellauri504.html on line 296: Church Fathers such as Tertullian and Augustine had a hand in this. Summarizing all the aforementioned points, the biblical portrait is clear: in heaven and in the resurrection, there is no need for marriage or sexual activity, as believers will exist in a glorified state “like the angels.” The absence of sexual relationships in the life to come does not imply a loss but rather the attainment of a higher, more complete satisfaction found solely in the eternal "fellowship" and worship of God. As Revelation 22:4 declares of believers in the heavenly city, “They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.” Divine Fellation maybe.

GotQuestions: is there sex in heaven?
ellauri504.html on line 301: Many people wonder about the nature of relationships in heaven, particularly when it comes to intimacy and physical connection. The question “Is there sex in heaven?” has intrigued theologians, philosophers, and everyday believers for centuries. This discussion often leads to the conclusion that traditional sexual relationships, as experienced on Earth, do not exist in heaven. Instead, relationships in the afterlife may take on a deeper, more spiritual form. Schneller schneller, tiefer tiefer.
ellauri504.html on line 303: Scripture offers insights into this question. According to Matthew 22:30, in heaven, people will not marry or be given in marriage, likening them to angels.This suggests a significant shift in how relationships are formed and experienced in the afterlife, focusing more on spiritual connections rather than physical ones.Many theologians argue that sexual identity remains part of one’s essence, even in a spiritual state. They highlight Genesis 1:27, which states that humans are made male and female. Some hold that sexuality, as a form of connection and love, may still exist in a different, non-physical form in heaven, allowing for new types of relationships.
ellauri504.html on line 305: Philosophical discussions about the afterlife often examine human identity and the continuity of personal experiences. They ask whether spiritual bodies can express sexuality in a meaningful way. Some philosophers argue that while physical sex may not exist, a sense of intimacy and love could remain. Voidaan hieroa yhteen neniä ja ozia. In heaven, while the essence of being a sexual person may remain, sexual relations as understood on earth will change. The lack of marriage suggests that relationships will be different but not devoid of love or connection.
ellauri504.html on line 312: The question of sex in heaven touches on key aspects of human identity. People see themselves as sexual beings, created in the image of God. WTF, did we not agree elsewhere that god has no gonads to speak of?
ellauri504.html on line 318: God created sex. He was the matchmaker for the first couple, Adam and Eve, and designed the pair to “become one flesh” (Gen. 2:24). In the rest of the Bible, sex is celebrated in proper relationships, but it’s condemned in inappropriate contexts. This has led many people to wonder if there will be sex in heaven. The Bible teaches that there won’t be sex in heaven. The absence of physical intimacy in heaven isn’t because sex between a husband and wife is inherently sinful. Rather, in heaven, men and women will experience a level of intimacy with God and angels that will transcend the physical intimacy of this life.
ellauri504.html on line 322: Thank you for your attention. Siteerataxemme professori Smithiä: There is no “proof,” but it would seem impossible for two who loved each other here within a sacramental marriage that they would be strangers in heaven. If this is so, then marriage could be intimate without necessarily being sexual in the limited 5-min. way we experience the act. So too, if we must say that nothing truly good can be missing from God, the Source of All Good, then if fucking feels good, there must be something similar or better up there. But what is it like, heavenly sex? But what is the meaning of “partaking of the divine nature” that St Pete mentions in passing. I think, says Smith, that each spouse does selfless, loving actions for the other, not involving erogenic zones. od’s every action results in good. It cannot be otherwise. It may not look that way, but it is. Still, we are free to choose. Heaven or hell, which shall it be? each loving spouse freely chooses to make a god exist. Thomas Aquinas relentlessly portrayed God as a God who is relentlessy intent on a union with humanity. A group hug in heaven with Jesus will be, to paraphrase Rick’s last line in the movie Casablanca, the beginning of a beautiful partaking. What happens after that is shrouded in mystery. Something sacramental anyway.

According to Spinoza’s Pantheism, God and Nature are exactly the same thing (Deus sive Natura—"God or Nature"). There is no personalized God in heaven looking down, judging, or altering the world on a whim. (Tää kyllä rauhoittaa jo aika lailla.) Instead, God is the infinite, deterministic, and logical fabric of existence itself. Here is how the third level of knowledge (Intuition) connects to Pantheism to grant ultimate peace of mind:
ellauri505.html on line 334: Why Kant’s moral argument misses the mark: Kant argued that without free will, traditional morality and "sin" collapse. Spinoza's Defense: Spinoza agreed entirely—he just didn't care about saving traditional sin and blame. For Spinoza, "ethics" isn't about passing a test to get into heaven. It is about understanding reality so you can transition from psychological bandage (being ruled by external passions) to freedom (acting out of pure reason). His system doesn't need free will to function; it offers a roadmap to mental peace instead. And besides: traditional morality plus harassing harmless guys like Spinoza is a necessity like all the rest.

xxx/ellauri148.html on line 205: The idea of a “Suffering Messiah” to many in Judaism is a Christian concept, this is not the case however. In some rabbinical traditions, the Messiah, who was one of the first thoughts of God, is in heaven waiting for the day of redemption. In heaven, Elijah and the patriarchs attend to, him. In one scene, from the Talmud the Messiah sits at the gates of Rome unwinding and winding bandages of the suffering and poor, waiting for the call.
xxx/ellauri148.html on line 209: The fifth house [in the heavenly Paradise] is built of onyx and jasper stones, and inlaid stones, and silver and gold, and good pure gold. And around it are rivers of balsam, and before its door flows the River Gihon. And [it has] a canopy of all trees of incense and good scent. And[in it are] beds of gold and silver, and embroidered garments. And there sits Messiah ben David and Elijah and Messiah ben Ephraim. And there is a canopy of incense trees as in the Sanctuary which Moses made in the desert. And all its vessels and pillars are of silver, its covering is gold, its seat is purple. And in it is Messiah ben David who loves Jerusalem. Elijah of blessed memory takes hold of his head, places it in his lap and holds it, and says to him: “Endure the sufferings and the sentence of your Master who makes you suffer because of the sin of Israel.” And thus it is written; He was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5) until the time when the comes. (“Midrash Konen” BhM 2:29-30)[13]
xxx/ellauri148.html on line 213: The Jewish Bible and rabbinical writers clearly teach the role of Elijah as forerunner of the Messiah. The final last prophet, Malachi foretells the coming of Elijah, who caught up into heaven, awaits the great terrible day of the Lord, when he will be revealed to Israel.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14-14

xxx/ellauri157.html on line 216: From the 1730s, Baal Shem Tov (BeShiT) headed an elite chirurgic mystical circle, similar to other secluded Kabbalistic circles such as the contemporary Klaus (Close) in Brody. Unlike past mystical circles, they innovated with the use of their psychic heavenly intercession abilities to work on behalf of the common Jewish populace. From the legendary hagiography of the BeShiT as one who bridged elite mysticism with deep social concern, and from his leading disciples, Hasidism rapidly grew into a populist revival movement with the funny hats. That's the point, there are only so many members of the elite, while the hoi polloi, though poorer, count in zillions. Want to have a large following, lower the entrance fee.

xxx/ellauri165.html on line 158: The early centuries of the Christian tradition were silent on the death of Mary. But by the seventh and eighth centuries, the belief in the bodily ascension of Mary into heaven, had taken a firm hold in both the Western and Eastern Churches.
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 160: The Eastern Orthodox Greek Church held to the dormition of Mary (uspenskij kafedral). According to this, Mary had a natural death, and her soul was then received by Christ. Her body arose on the third day after her death. She was then taken up bodily into heaven.
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 162: For a long time, the Catholic Church was ambiguous on whether Mary rose from the dead after a brief period of repose in death and then ascended into heaven or was “assumed” bodily into heaven before she died.

Ha Mashiach was conceived of the Ruach (Matthew 1:20), and in the physical portrayal of this, he was born of Miriam. The meaning of the word "of" carries through in that HaMashiach is conceived and born of the Ruch, as sort of "pictured" in Miriam. The conception in the spiritual realm was also pictured at HaMashiach's baptism when the Ruch Ah Qudsh descended upon him in the form of a dove, and Yahuah spoke from heaven saying, "my son, the beloved, in you I am well pleased" Luke 3:22.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 370: At that time Yahusha, full of joy through Ruch Ah Qudsh, said, "I praise you, Father, Alahym (Elohim) of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to his chosen children.

In his commentary on the Quranic verses 19:56-57, the commentator Ibn Kathir narrated "During the Night Journey, the Prophet passed by him in fourth heaven. In a hadith, Ibn Abbas asked Ka’b what was meant by the part of the verse which says, ”And We raised him to a high station.” Ka’b explained: Allah revealed to Idris: ‘I would raise for you every day the same amount of the deeds of all Adam’s children’ – perhaps meaning of his time only. So Idris wanted to increase his deeds and devotion. A friend of his from the angels visited and Idris said to him: ‘Allah has revealed to me such and such, so could you please speak to the angel of death, so I could increase my deeds.’ The angel carried him on his wings and went up into the heavens. When they reached the fourth heaven, they met the angel of death who was descending down towards earth. The angel spoke to him about what Idris had spoken to him before. The angel of death said: ‘But where is Idris?’ He replied, ‘He is upon my back.’ The angel of death said: ‘How astonishing! I was sent and told to seize his soul in the fourth heaven. I kept thinking how I could seize it in the fourth heaven when he was on the earth?’ Then he took his soul out of his body, and that is what is meant by the verse: ‘And We raised him to a high station.’"

Secular theology can accommodate a belief in God, like many nature religions, but as residing in this world somewhere and not separately from it.

Robinson, along with Douglas John Hall and Rowan Williams, see that Secular theology had digested modern movements like the Death of God Theology propagated by Thomas J. J. Altizer or the philosophical existentialism of Tillich and eased the introduction of such ideas into the theological mainstream and made constructive evaluations, as well as contributions, to the problems caused by the demise of out heavenly father.

You have misunderstood the Mormon belief, supported by the scriptures, that if our spirits are the literal offspring of God, and he is our heavenly father, logically therefore, we have a heavenly mother. And the same familial stucture which exists in heaven was instituted by God on earth when he created Adam and Eve, the first mortal parents. The article you referenced says nothing even close to your incorrect assertion that Mormons somehow believe a false pagan goddess was/is our heavenly mother.
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 1030: He creates, not by sexual union or cooperation, but by the effortless, self-sufficient, raw power of his mouth. “I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself.” (Isaiah 44:24)
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 1050: As I said, nowhere in the article does Stavrakopoulou claim that Mormons believe a pagan idol is our heavenly mother. All she says is that a statue of Asherah was found in the temple, and that it was believed that she was considered the wife of El.

xxx/ellauri410.html on line 1061: Additionally the Bible clearly and abundantly states that God was alone when they created the heavens and the earth. To invent a co-goddess out of sheer supposition and deny God his rightful glory by claiming that this imaginary goddess assisted in His sole act of creation is Blasphemy of the highest order. That's what women always do, steal your thunder.
xxx/ellauri410.html on line 1106: Agree don't that Mormons do not equate Ashtar to being the wife of Heavenly Father. Ashtar having beginnings in paganism, we identify with monotheists who know there is one creator of all in the universe. The fringe idea that there must be a mother in heaven, is more of a follow-on to a truth that rings true to us: that if we existed before his life we must have had parents before as we do now. Which makes sense to us that there could be a benevolent loving partner of God.

Analyyttiseen ja evidentialistiseen ajattelukoulukuntaan kuuluva mefodistipapin poika Flew ahersi uskonnonfilosofian parissa. Anthony Flew käänsi kelkkansa kalkkiviivoilla ateismista deistixi. Vuonna 2004 hän muutti kantaansa ja totesi uskovansa nyt älykkään maailmankaikkeuden kellosepän olemassaoloon järkyttäen kollegoitaan ateisteja. "I'm quite happy to believe in an inoffensive inactive god." Poliittisesti Flew oli oikeistolainen, libertaarihenkinen konservatiivi, joka vastusti maahanmuuttoa, tasa-arvoisuutta ja Euroopan unionia ja kirjoitti artikkeleita The Journal of Libertarian Studies -lehteen. Poliittisessa filosofiassa Antony Flewin pääasiallinen kiinnostuksen kohde oli sosiaalisen oikeudenmukaisuuden käsitteen vastustaminen. Ei Tony sentään Jeesuxesta perustanut. Flew was particularly hostile towards Islam. Häiskä oli loppuviimexi dementti kuten ikätoverinsa CEC. An American guy Varghese ghostwrote Flew's last book laying out the case for a god using Americanisms such as "beverages", "vacation" and "candy". Not likely that Antony flew to heaven with such an apologist.
xxx/ellauri482.html on line 154: In the dream vision, Love often kisses the dead Beatrice, a gesture Dante never got to make in his lifetime. The dream concludes with Dante waking up ejaculating ante portas just as he can see his pecker rise to heaven. At the age of nine he purportedly briefly glimpsed the eight-year-old Beatrice Portinari and, struck by her beauty, fell in love. Dante said that when Beatrice greeted him in passing nine years later, his love was hardened. “In that respect,” Rossetti said, “I am the reverse of Swinburne. I knew Browning's prat intimately as a young man.” Lähde nyt kanssani Puupposelle ostamaan suolaa. Mennään suxilla. Pentti oli kankea tyttöseurassa, Tri Kulolla oli vahva ulostulo.

And simultaneously with their casting themselves on the ground, and praying to God (a God of whom I am ignorant), water poured from heaven, upon us most refreshingly cool, but upon the enemies of Rome a withering hail. Founding upon this, then, let us pardon such as are Christians, lest they pray for and obtain such a weapon against ourselves."

"Not every one who saith to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven. By their works ye shall know them. And every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire." We believe (or rather, indeed, are persuaded) that every man will suffer punishment in eternal fire according to the merit of his deed. Kuulostaa pahan kerran pelagiolaiselta.

And, "If thy right eye offend thee, cut it out; for it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of heaven with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into everlasting fire." The same goes for you Origen. And, "Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced from another husband, committeth adultery." And, "There are some who have been made eunuchs of men, and some who were born eunuchs, and some who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake; but all cannot receive this saying." Matthew 19:12. Sat sapienti Origen!

The book was inspired by Rossetti's verses Mary Magdalene at the Door of Simon The Pharisee, written for his painting, depicting a man trying to pluck back a woman about to enter the gates of heaven. Mainly set in Victorian London, it is the story of Glory Quayle, a young woman living an independent life who becomes an actress, and John Storm, who enters the priesthood. It was the first time that Caine had taken up the Woman Question.
