We appreciate your sorrow and anxiety. Many mothers have been comforted by the Lord's word found in `Jer. 31:15`. "Thus saith the Lord, A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children, because they were not." (They were [...]
Let no one be deceived regarding the duration of the punishment of the wicked, as it is repeatedly put forth in the scriptures that it is for eternity and not merely for a season. However; it is not a question as to the duration [...]

The correct translation of this text is thus: "As in Adam all die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive." Adam by disobedience brought death upon himself, and all his children being then in his loins all inherited death. The redemption price [...]

The word “Tartaroosas” (2 Peter 2:4 Nestles-Aland Greek New Testament) is used in Grecian mythology as the name for a dark abyss or prison of divine punishment. But the word refers us more to an act (“being Tatarooed”) than to a place. The fall of the angels [...]
