Would you give your own life up to save someone elses life who wasn't deserving ?
I did it in Desert Storm and i still put my life in peril for people and do not stop to think if they are deserving or not...i just do because that is the way God has made me...i fear not death or anything else..this is the way God has made me..
Richard, I didn't ask who the author was speaking to. I'm asking who the EVERY TONGUE group is. Are you saying that it is referring to the only those at Phillipi?
I'm not sure why you having difficulty answering this question. Let me know if you want me to state it differently.
Just because every tongue confesses does not imply willingness in doing so...i pretty much said it already in the reply...
So there is a problem here sciota... disembodied souls can't be beheaded... they don't have a head. He saw SOULS that were beheaded...Also... at the end of the verse it says they LIVE (quickened) and REIGN with Christ. How can you be beheaded and then LIVE?
Is this symbolism? The head is where the mind is.. a change of mind could be symbolized by beheading... don't ya think?
Ilene was beheaded and now Lives and Reigns with Christ... I have been beheaded.... and now I LIVE!
I don't know why people think the soul is a separate part of us when it is clear in Gen. that spirit + body = soul.
Also Strong's states: From psucho; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from pneuma, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from zoe, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew nephesh, ruwach and chay) -- heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.
So what exactly are you trying to say here? Psuche has nothing to do with disembodied souls as you are meaning... but then I thought you were better at exegeses than this!
But, the beheaded where beheaded for Christ...IOW, Martyrs...they were believers...

Yes, indeed, i would...but, that does not negate the fact that God is not ok with their lifestyle...
What? How do you know what God is ok with?
I don't know how it would negate anything to help someone who is gay and a universalist... what if your fellow christians accused you of being gay and a universalist because you helped them? What do you do then?

You are so off on that...So, by your own words not everyone will be saved...
Fundamentalism is to love mercy and to do justly and walk humbly with your God , understanding all the correct doctrines and being opposed to all those who disagree with you to the point where you believe they are not fellow believers is not true fundermentalism but a very poor counterfeit of it.
"Woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices -- mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglectedthe more important matters of the law -- justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel" (Matthew 23:23,24)
I neglect neither....but, i know when i see the religious structure that is being set up for the Anti-Christ...
