    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Hello. My post was about “gaining understanding”, not about being forgiven. but since you brought it up: does forgiveness come automatically from God, if there is no repentance on the part of the offender? For example, God condemns sexual immorality, ie., sex outside of marriage. If a person...

    Jesus is not God

    That’s what I asked… what Scripture says this? Anointed by the Levite priesthood? Not even King David was… or any Israelite king. So where do you get this at? Something the Jews claim as a requirement? Then they’ve just shot themselves in the foot, for the Messiah they’re expecting…. No...

    Jesus is not God

    I’m afraid (most of) this post highlights only one thing: the problems that develop when God’s Name (probably Yahweh), the Tetragrammaton, is removed from Scripture and replaced with LORD. People misuse it. You know who it means, Oeste. The Israelites worshipped Yahweh. At John 3:16, John...

    Jesus is not God

    According to whom? Where’s the Scripture which assigns these requirements to the Messiah? The only requirement closest to these, was the requirement to descend from king David. And today, with the records destroyed in 70 ce, no one can verify such a distinction!

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Luke 10:21. So “spiritual discernment”, ie., accurate understanding, comes from Yahweh, Jesus’ Father. -Luke 10:21 And Yahweh requires exclusive devotion. In most Bibles, Exodus 20:1-5 says He’s a jealous God. So if people are including Jesus as their God (or doing other things the Bible...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Dates are facts, not fiction. And when many unrelated, diverse cultures have ancient calendars which share the same date of a festival (“the 17th day of the 2nd month”), you can be sure there’s a common source behind it! If you want to ignore it, that’s your prerogative.

    Jesus is not God

    Actually, 1st-Century Christians did go to the temple and worship Yahweh. Because God, as the Jews understood Him, did not change. — Malachi 3:6 Only the way to worship Yahweh, changed. I believe that’s a point you overlook.

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    As I suspected. You won’t address the question of your disengenuousness. Lol. I’ve tried, for several years, to reason with you on different topics. It has always ended with your attempt to belittle, and throwing ad Homs. Just sad… You have no reality to offer. Only inferred concepts. There’s...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Yeah, right. “…amateurish proposals…”? These are facts. When history is uncovered, it is fact. It can be ignored, but that doesn’t change its status as a fact. It really doesn’t matter who discovers facts. They are still facts.

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Hello Blü 2, Just what evidence would you expect to find, that we don’t have? The freshwater Permafrost, and the megafauna encased within it, is one. What caused the last Ice Age? The Flood’s waters that submerged the Northern and Southern hemispheres — it would cause an Ice Age. That water...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    I’ve never read that. Can you provide a reference? According to Maasai People, Kenya , …they live in “semi-arid to arid regions…”

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    As mentioned previously, Halloween with its origins in Samhain (honoring the dead), corresponds with other “festivals of the dead” near that same time: end of Oct., beginning of November… The evidence suggests a link between ancient "Day of the Dead" practices and the destruction of Noah's...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    As I stated in a more recent post, “on or near…” Some calendars have changed over time, of course, with more advanced ways of accurately tracking the passing of years; but some cultures actually kept the “17th day of the 2nd month”, as it appears in their respective calendars. This is what...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Abiogenesis is only a study, a hoped-for philosophy. It has little basis in facts as we currently understand them. And the more we’ve discovered, just creates more obstacles for science to overcome. And this is not the thread for the topic. I brought the subjects up, only to highlight your...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    It is amazing, isn’t it?! Too much of a coincidence, to just be random. There are quite a few other cultures which celebrate festivals to the dead on or near that day, discovered by Colonel Garnier and also by Haliburton. It is significant because the Flood, as described in the Bible, would...

    The Flood & Worldwide Festivals of the Dead — the connection.

    Lol! Please! Lol. If you really adhered to the scientific method as much as you claim, you wouldn’t support most of the concepts you do, like Earth’s formation through accretion. You just agree with explanations that reinforce your biases. Examples: Where’s the scientific method here...

    Jesus is not God

    Trailblazer, yes they are. I asked you to use a Hebrew-English interlinear. (That way, you could not say “it’s a JW idea.”) The following is from BibleHub.com (I chose Numbers 19:13, since the version you quoted, does use the word “soul” but only once in its rendering.) Hebrew “Anyone...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    I appreciate your input. As you are probably aware, the origin of Gehenna is from the valley of Hinnom the traffic dump outside of Jerusalem. It’s where the ancient Jews dumped trash and the dead bodies of criminals, not worthy of a burial. The Biblical use of Gehenna as a symbol - and the...

    Which text from the Christian Bible uniquely proves that Jesus is Almighty God?

    Great post. You know what secular proponents of evolution call this, though? An “argument from incredulity.” But that’s just it! It is incredible! And incredibly complex.

    Jesus is not God

    Wow, I think I’m gonna frame this! But yet, you know when interpretation of scripture is wrong. I’ve shown you where the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) say the soul dies. https://www.religiousforums.com/threads/article-“internal-proofs-of-bible-authenticity”.279834/page-11#post-8703057 You don’t want...
