Ironman, re: "Gen. 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" That verse is only referring to Adam. I'm asking about every person who has lived/is living. re: "Shall they be tormented for ever and forever?" Maybe, maybe not. Just so it's understood that scripture doesn't ...

Ironman, re: "'Rev. 14:9-11 also proves that men will be tormented in the presence of God and angels forever.'" I don't see where those verses prove or say that. While they do say that there will be torment in fire and brimstone, they don't say that the torment will continue forever, i.e., never end...

luchnia, re: "In general Sunday worship is an accepted practice yet not a proven biblical practice." And that was all I was doing, i.e., merely pointing out that while ongoing week after week 1st day of the week observance is the norm, that scripture is silent with regard to the practice just in cas...

branham1965, re: "Trust me he would turn all of us inside out with his knowledge. I am NOT boot licking.Its the truth. Ask him."

branham1965,
re: "He gives profuse texts..."

Do you know what those scriptures are?
