    Birth and death of Jesus

    As for the death of Jesus, strictly going by the facts given in the Bible... Jesus had the Passover (14th of Nisan) with the twelve, which starts at sunset. Later He is arrested, many things happen that night and morning, then you see Him crucified and He died late in on that Passover day, not...

    Christians: Joint heirs with jesus - what does it mean?

    Good points, and I thought about that right after I posted this.. there is actually two parts to being an heir. Think about it in an earthly human concept. Let's say I am a parent with 5 kids, and I am pretty wealthy. My children are joint heirs, but they only have the promise of the grand...

    Christians: Joint heirs with jesus - what does it mean?

    1. Who are joint heirs with Jesus? (Those willing to submit to the will of God; The righteous; The saints; The children of God) Rom 8.14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the...

    soul

    I won't argue with you about what other religions believe, that may very well be. But if a person wants to believe what the the scriptures are actually teaching, and they study, then they would see that the Bible teaches that man is a soul, and that death on this earth is a temporary death in...

    soul

    The scriptures... Eccl 9.5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, 1 Cor 15.20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22...

    soul

    Small questions.. big answers. Being brief is NOT a strength, but I will try... Yes, I am aware of what most people believe, and I used to believe that too. I did because that is what I was taught starting from day one, and I just believed everyone, and never looked up anything for myself in...

    soul

    Man is a living soul. Gen clearly states that man became a living soul when given our life's breath from God.. it is not stated that an eternal soul entered man's fleshy vessel for a temporary visit. Our spirit is what makes each person the individual that they are,, we sometimes call it the...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    We keep the Feast of Atonement, which is one of our annual Sabbaths. It is also on the 9th, and began at sunset this evening, as I am guessing would also be the beginning of Yom Kippur for you? What does this day represent for you? mik

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Anything can be made into an idol in one's heart. If you had a bad experience with a specific church and pastor, that's really too bad. But that doesn't make it the same experience for everyone. The Sabbath is an important part of being a Christian for me, but only one of many. I could go to the...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    Very well said!! I have always seen it more like today's Christian uses the name of Jesus Christ more like a password. Nothing else really matters as long as you don't forget the password that gets you through the door to eternal life.. no other requirements are needed. Jesus is not a password...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Q1: If you want to be a part of the promise of eternal life, then this is a choice that you make. We have a relationship with God. NO relationship is one-sided. He is our Father. Just like our earthly parents, they expect things from us. They will love us no matter what, but when we do not obey...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    lol.. Wow, BW.. I didn't see your post until after I posted my last one, but they really say the same thing. Hey, can a person state that they keep the Sabbath as a statement of fact, and not be attempting to sound self-righteous? I think so, especially since it seems to be the topic here...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. 27 “You have heard that it was said to those of...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Jesus didn't sin. God gave the Sabbath to man. Man took it, and added their own extra restrictions and guidelines to it. Jesus broke man's rules for the Sabbath, He did not violet what God intended for the Sabbath. That is exactly what His message was. The Jews were so worried about the letter...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Matt 22.36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Are you serious? Okay. You interpret this scripture to mean that we are to scrap what we are doing and don't worry about it. You are wrong. This scripture tells us don't worry about what every one else says about the Sabbaths, hold fast and do them anyway, and even warns you not to let others...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Well, first of all, I wouldn't expect Christians to do anything on Sundays,, I am speaking of God's Sabbath, Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Second, I wouldn't think that a person has to do nothing except for on the Sabbath. They should keep the 10 commandments, God's statutes and laws every...
