There are two kinds of salvation. One is universal salvation from universal catastrophes of the size of the Flood and the other is personal salvation from one's sins. The universal salvation is free as it depends totally on God's grace. The personal salvation is quite costing: Obedience to the...

Jerusha, I thought we were discussing the Scriptures and not midrashim. Not only in Christianity but even in Judaism we have people who believe in demons, exorcism, and even voodoo and Santeria. It does not mean though that this is Judaism. Josephus must have been describing some of these...

Well Jerusha, the previous verse (Luke 17:20) rather confirms verse 21. Jesus simply tried to explain that the kingdom of Heaven was not some thing to observe when it comes but to feel it within ourselves. Inside them or among them, it is not the point but to search oneself for it. The quote...

I do not need to go to heaven as I have it already within myself. Isn't what Jesus said in Luke 17:21 that the kingdom of heaven is a peaceful state of mind we are supposed to let it grow within ourselves? There!

Oh gosh! Jonah the dreamer! He never even left his bed. Jonah was a prophet and if there is a prophet "among you" to him I'll make My will known through a dream or vision.

Jamie, I agree with you that God can do every thing and more but one: The thing you wish He did or should have done. The Lord has power over nature but not to carry it out to satisfy your demands. I have never heard of a Jonah who died and lived again. Perhaps you are talking about your NT...

Read Job 7:9; 10:21; II Sam. 12:23; Psalm 49:12; 88:11; Prov. 2:19... and many other quotes but I think these are enough to prove the point. The wish to live again is an illusion and I am sorry if I had to rain on your parade but the Truth although some times painful cannot be masked.

How could Jesus have got over death with death? Besides, once dead, Logic dictates that one has lost all chances to get over anything.
