The occasion of Pentecost happened in the year 33CE. It was 50 days after the death of Jesus, and 10 days after his ascension to heaven.
Yet strangely enough, the Apostles were still speaking about the coming of the kingdom long after that event.
The strongest evidence that the kingdom had...
No, you are the one claiming you are preaching the gospel. I showed you the verse where Jesus said he came to preach 'the good news of the kingdom'
So by all means inform me what that preaching of the kingdom entailed.... im all ears. Maybe you can give me your view of when the Kingdom came...
Jesus didn't preach his death and resurrection...
“I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.” Luke 4:43
does that sound like 'im being crucified and resurrected" to you?
So Katie, tell me... What is the good news of the Kingdom , what is the...
morality is not based on faith...its based on the principles of right and wrong. I'm not going to be told that homosexuality is right when my conscience views it as wrong. I'll stick to my guns on that and wont be swayed. Its a conscience matter.
Of course there were. Judaism was not established until 15bce. But that doesnt mean its account about the first humans is wrong. The bible does not attempt to imply that the Jews were the first race of people. It actually names many of the tribes and nations who came before the Jews.
I...
If God created the first man and woman, then he instituted marriage. There were no people before he created them.
And its not surprising that divorces occur mostly among straight couples, not at all. Satan has been attacking all of Gods institutions since the beginning when he turned the...
The secular laws dont impact or change Gods moral laws. But what is changing is peoples attitudes toward Gods moral laws. The agenda is to 'normalise' homosexuality and make it 'acceptable' to a persons own conscience. By 'dumbing down' a persons conscience, you can get them to change their...
reminds me of the warning of Paul:
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the complete suit of armor+ from God so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts* of the Devil; 12 because we have a struggle,*+ not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against...
Lets think about it. The rich man is in burning anguish and asks 'father Abraham' for a 'drop of water'
1. Do you really think someone who is burning is going to ask for a drop of water? That is a literary device called hyperbol...something Jesus used a lot of.
2. Wouldnt the rich man ask...
Peter and Paul were establishing Christianity back then. They had to prove to the jews that Jesus was the Messiah so the resurrection was an important topic. But once the christian church was established, they didnt need to keep focusing on something everyone already believed. Everyone had...
Yes i 've read those verses... Praise the Lord while you live, because when you are dead, you cant praise anymore. Sing your praises while you have your being.
Dont trust people because when they die, thats it, their plans perish...they can't help you anymore.
Think about it, if it were...
Oh no, that has nothing to do with the requirements of Christians under the Messiah.
Under Moses, the Israelites needed an army for protection from enemy nations. Under the Messiah, things changed.
Not in the hearts of those who submit to God. Thats why we refuse to 'accept' as normal all forms of sexual misconduct.
People are free to behave as they wish...and we are free to behave as we wish too. We do not wish to view such matters as 'normal' or 'acceptable' to us which is why we...
There is a positive thing that comes from such decisions.
As a worshiper of God, you can stand out as different. You can still live in a world where disobedience remains and you can show God that YOU uphold his sovereignty.
On the judgement day, God will be looking for suchlike ones to...
Do you really want me list every christian denomination who do not live up to the bibles requirements??
My view is that 'any' christian group who fails in the bibles description of what it means to be a Christian is part of Christendom.
Im not going to make an exhaustive list for you. I will...
It seems to be that calling someone 'homophobic' has become a catchcry of anyone who does not 'support' homosexuality.
Its lost its meaning with regard to 'fear'... the term has become an insult rather then a word with any real meaning.
