    Danny Ayalon denies the existence of Palestine

    And also claimed as traditional and historical Jewish territories. The Jewish population far precedes the Arabs there.

    The OT = UGH

    Not all Gnostic Christians. I believe it was mostly a Marcionite concept that infiltrated the later Gnostic movements. It was mostly a strictly later-Gnostic concept with groups like the Sethians. And even that's a bit debatable as to which of them believed the OT Jewish god was the Demiurge in...

    Blaspheming The Holy Spirit!

    Why would that be? What makes it a "fragile ego" exactly? If your son betrayed you, and you got mad, say because another Father offered him better toys, is that a 'Fragile ego"? Is that "infantile"? Is it infantile and fragile if your wife or gf betrays you and you get mad? Why deny the Creator...

    The prophets tell us that THE SCRIBES HAD CHANGED THE GOD'S LAW

    The mainline Protestants would also have us on the menu if they had the same authority as the Medieval church did. However I think we can agree that some of those so-called "Gnostic" sects had good reason to be appetizers. Even the Pistis Sophia says they've committed the most horrible of acts.

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    No it doesn't. You're simply adding goalposts that don't necessarily exist. In fact, that's part of the debate itself. You could make the same argument that the Jews must prove the "exact level of obedience" to avoid being struck by the curses of Deuteronomy. Meanwhile, I can ask you the same...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    So you're now saying we shouldn't ignore or abandon Jesus's teachings but should instead focus intensely on them until we master them and adopt them into our very being and let them solidify our structure and ideals and morality to the very core, just like how mother's milk weans the child. So...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    I believe the "Greater things" he was talking about, in context, was referring to actual supernatural miracles that one will be granted to be able to do through following his teachings and example. What part of Jesus's teachings do you think people need to stop clinging to exactly? Name an...

    What will the return of Jesus really Change?

    His arrival is going to be nonstop cleaning house.

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    Again, considering it says Jesus's power went from him after she touched him, it was possible that she had made him unclean. He wouldn't have touched her, she had to touch him first. But there was no sin in it. All she did was inconvenience him. He had to bathe himself and wash his clothes...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    The answer is quite simple. She was already outside. Jesus was "on his way" when she approached him. Just because a crowd forms doesn't mean she has to avoid everyone who's coming into her area where she is already out. But thank you for reminding me of yet another major discrepancy in the...

    When did Jesus heal the Bleeding woman?

    In Luke 8, it's after "he returns" and gets out of the boat from crossing the lake from Garesenes, and proceeds to go "on his way" to a girl who was dying. Same for Mark 5 presumably as he goes to the girl. In Matthew 9, this happens right after he's done eating with the tax collectors and...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    Also, when did this event take place exactly? According to Matthew 9, this happened right after Jesus was having dinner with his disciples and the Tax collectors and sinners. In Luke 8 it happened while he was "on his way" after "he returned". In Mark 5, it's right after Jesus crosses the...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    Now also note that it says his "Power was gone from him". What does that mean? Was Jesus made unclean? Perhaps so. Which indicates he would have gone to bathe himself and wait until sundown until his power had regained. Now this logic can also be applied to the lepers who Jesus healed too...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    Let me break it down. The woman only has to be set apart 7 days. That's it. If it lasts longer than that, it doesn't say she has to be set apart any longer. This woman's problem was an irregular, permanent problem. It would be reasonable for her to be out and about seeking medical attention...

    Does Gay Porn Destroy the Sanctity of Traditional Porn?

    I have to agree. And I agree with Curious George, if I understand him right. I don't see why "Traditional Porn" is not considered "gay". I mean, I have to wonder why these "straight" people like looking at a naked dude. I don't care if he's with a girl. There's still a dude in the picture...

    Are Christians Suppose to Strive to be Like Jesus?

    So you mean you totally avoided my answer and doubled down on your initial assertion which you apparently dodged and avoided when I asked you to provide the scriptural verse for your claim. You're "not going into other areas"? You mean not going into backing up your own erroneous claim...

    Which prophecies did Jesus fulfill as to be the Messiah?

    Jesus never challenged the words of God. He challenged Pharisee misinterpretation, and took on a Shammai-ish stance. As for claiming to be a Divine being, that's another story. But he most certainly did not claim to be God as the Trinitarians insist.

    The prophets tell us that THE SCRIBES HAD CHANGED THE GOD'S LAW

    More like the last centuries. And you're right, it's because they don't like the teachings of the Gospel, which is to obey the whole Jewish Law, just not as the Pharisees interpreted it. People like.... You.

    Did Jesus say he was God???

    If works are not an issue and God takes over for those who have enough faith, Jesus and Paul and James and John and Peter sure wasted a LOT of breath and ink in trying to tell people how to act and warning them towards good behavior.
