Who else speaks of the New Covenant besides Jeremiah, and perhaps Isaiah?
If you agree that gentiles are to be part of Israel and Judah, then that means they would follow the same culture and Law as Israel and Judah, no way around it. When Jeremiah was told that the Law would be written on...
Wait, hold on here, now you don't even remember me challenging you to a 1x1 moderated debate? Are you serious? Do you even know what pre-conditions and "goalposts" you're even talking about to begin with?
I made the "necessary basis", you're the one adding all kinds of unnecessary goalposts to tailor fit it to your own position, and then running away from the argument about the quantitative necessity your own logic entails of your position. I'm tired of you simply resorting to saying that I'm...
This is the Judaism DIR, but I do agree with your opinion, and is in fact what I am going for...however, would this mean that those who grossly disrespect those who teach what God wants to be known would be also liable to such punishment?
When Elisha called down Fire from Heaven on the troops sent to retrieve him, and cursed the youths (not "small kids") who were insulting him on his way to be viciously mauled by she-bears, was this condoned by G-d? Did G-d just do whatever he asked for since he was a prophet? Was this something...
Well I say its not idiotic or infantile, since it's really not much different than a King or a Father being betrayed or a Husband being betrayed, so we'll just have to leave it as a matter of personal value judgment.
Okay, I agree with that. However I take it a step further. By denying the link with the historical fact that the original Christian Church was nothing but Old-Testament-following Jews, they are also "crapping all over" the very foundations of Christianity. I see nothing about it that says it was...
(Note: This topic is in regards to the as-is accepted version of the Gospels, and the quotes and narrative of Jesus, not necessarily the NT epistles or Acts. It is also not a question of hypocrisy among Christians who believe one thing but act another way. It is about the actual beliefs...
So because I disagree that you have the Spirit, I don't understand it or am prejudiced against it. Arrogance overwhelming.
Are you implying I'm not religious because I disagree with you?
Jesus was not changing the Law, he was saying the same exact thing that Modern Rabbis are saying, that it...
Okay, so therefore, one of those Christians who is imperfect may want to reassess whether the Holy Spirit is giving them the answer and not just rely on that and try to actually argue and debate using actual arguments and debate points and critical thinking. Obviously the Spirit would not be...
See, here you're not understanding me again.
You're under the presumption that it has in fact brought you to your conclusion.
In fact, you're basically stating what my argument is.
Obviously it will NOT bring people into conflict.
Therefore, one of us is wrong.
So obviously, one of us does...
God can't freely choose to sin because it's not his character? Says who? Character has to do with what you're capable of doing. It has to do with what you choose to do within your capabilities. It has nothing to do with simply being robotic and following a series of Protocol simply because...
Yep. The end of all wars will culminate after the ages are done. It's like the cherry on the Sundae. It's the Happy ending after a great period of Tribulation. After all the world not only believes in the Abrahamic god, but accepts one united version of his will and ideals.
The problem is that...
Okay, well reading the Bible with an Open Heart and his Holy Spirit guiding me has led me to a completely different interpretation than yours that directly clashes and contradicts with yours, and says that yours is wrong and should be discarded.
No, claiming that you speak the truth because you have the Spirit guiding you is preaching, especially when it's in lieu of an actual counter-argument. It's a shady last-ditch last resort. How is it possibly debating? How is claiming that you have God's Spirit guiding you in any way a debate...
