The Narrow Path Ministries

Thank you all for your posts. I have much personal study to do on this issue and will probably leave my posting at that for now. Perhaps there will be questions I come up with along the way that I will want to throw out there to get input on. This is such a huge subject, but I am somehow compelled t...

I think it was simply a matter of confirming which writings were from the actual Apostles or were writings approved by apostles. For example Hebrews took awhile to be accepted because the authorship was unclear but eventually it became evident that Paul either wrote or at least contributed to the l...

I have been a Christian now for over ten years, yet the one thing that continually bugs me is the issue of the Canon of Scripture. To me, this seems like one of the most difficult doctrines (and I would say foundations) of Christianity to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Personally I do believe the ...

Excellent idea, I think that is a great place to start. I guess it can be difficult to find a church history book that is not slanted one way or the other, but hopefully with some you can at least read between the lines to some facts and solid sources. Much thanks!

I would really love to get a couple of those books and I was wondering if you could give me some names of boo...

Those replies are very helpful. The only problem I see is that none of these OT parallel's speak of the people themselves being concsious while the fire is continually burning them and not giving them rest. "and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in t...

Rev 14:9-11 "Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he ...

Steve,

Thanks for your response. My brain has been officially stretched and may take few days to get back to normal. Thanks for your help as I work through these issues.

Steve, I'm curious how you deal with these verses: "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels,'" (Matt. 25:41). "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal lif...
