  • Iqbal: All you have shown are passages referring to the release of the saints from Hades. You have yet to show passages referring to the exclusive release of the saints from Hades.....two totally different things. By that same logic, you could sa…

  • Actually.....I just recently got into Arabic Pop. I personally like Algerian rai the best.....I like Rachid Taha and Khaled. But I know there's at least one Christian Arabic Pop singer: Dania from Lebanon, who I believe is a Maronite. And I thin…
  • [quote author=Iqbal link=board=1;threadid=1978;start=30#msg30016 date=1120221476] God has declared that He cannot lie and that He cannot deny Himself. What He has testified to is absolute truth; He does not go back on His Word and we are in no posit…

  • And if it makes you feel any better, the Fathers also taught that there were different sections in hades: one place where the un-righteous were actually tormented by Satan and his demons.....another place where the righteous dead were merely "held" …
