God has done so much---showed us his handiwork in creation, talked to people now and in the past, became one of us and walked among us, gave us the Bible which tells us all about him, formed the Church to continue telling people what he has done. I think that whatever he did people would say...
I think Rev 22 only refers to the Book of Revelations. Even though it's the last book in the Bible, I don't think it was the last book written. And the cannon wasn't decided until some time later.
Well, I like this question. One of my present interests is comparing the creation story to secular findings. In Genesis it's referring to cows reproducing cows, sheep reproducing sheep etc. And this seems like an obvious conclusion for someone writing Genesis so why include it? Is it telling us...
Nice to meet you. I'm fairly new and still trying to figure some things out.
One question I have for anyone is what's the difference between "post reply" and "quick reply"?
If Jesus is talking about life after death here, then yes it is only possible through Him. I think that the works that Christ undid was eternal death.
If there is a terminal disease and I find a cure in the form of a pill, then I would give the medicine away free (hopefully) but you would still...
Perhaps Jesus and friends spoke in Aramiac and Judism and yet the N.T. written in Greek so that Christ followers would not worship his actual words but worship Christ Himself.
I think the wording in the first few verses are very deliberate, but it shows we don't really know how creation plays out. There is also an interesting comparison with days 1 & 4, 2 &5, 3 & 6.
Day 1 Separate light/dark Day 4 create sun, moon, stars
Day 2 Separating waters...
I think you have to look at the principal behind the commandment, which I think would be there is one day out of seven in which you should rest and what better day is there to spend extra time worshipping? I believe research has even shown that people need this one day to have their bodies rest...
I think Jesus fulfilled the law by love. He summed up all the laws by loving God and loving your neighbour. Perhaps I should have said that He didn't keep the traditions of the law. Sometimes love over rides rules.
Pershaps you would have to look at the purpose of the law. I would suggest it was to bring us into a relationship with God like it was in the garden of Eden before there was any sin. The law shows it is impossible to keep all the laws. Jesus was the only one who could keep the law. And yet there...
