Sorry about the abrupt end of the previous post, i seem to have accidentally hit the wrong key and the post was prematurely sent.
Another would be "THE TESTAMENTS of the TWELVE PATRIARCHS." These were written around 107-137 B.C. The are the dying testaments of the sons of Israel. Any serious...
To those who have been following this one sided "debate", I apologize for my time away from the forum. Also i noticed an error in my misuse of the word weather in the my previous posts. The correct word should be whether as in; whichever one of the two, as opposed to the use of weather as in...
off the previous topic for a bit:
One of my newly baptized Christian brothers recently returned from a business trip and stayed at a Sheraton hotel for the night.
He recalled from one of our studies my warning to be cautious as to what bible to study from. There are many mistranslated versions...
Had a short conversation with what i thought was a knowledgeable christian brother. Shortly into the conversation i realized he did not know the difference between soul and spirit. This brother actively seeks out converts and had made contact with a young fellow i had led to Jesus last year...
The problem for men, myself included is that we tend to view one another through the eyes of man. To understand what is going on we must view man through the eyes of God. Initially, when a child is born, God is present in that life. I can not say in what form He is there, but He is.
As the...
There are two aspects as to who Messiah Jesus is. When we study we need to keep this in mind. He is the son of man and he is the Son of God.
One argument often presented by the proponents of Judaism is that God can not be a man.
I can agree with that to some extent except when God is acting in...
I am a product of the 60s-70s. After doing two tours of duty in Vietnam (US Navy), I came back to a different world. The homecoming reception the military received then was un-American, and It took awhile for me to readjust.
I am blue collar and never went to church because of all the...
Truth belongs to God; Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, John 1:17. It is applied to individuals, situations and circumstances. There can be any number of false gods, but there can be only one true God. There can be any number of lies, but there can be only one truth.
All men are liars...
In reference to Romans 12:1. It is imperative that scripture be quoted accurately. If you reference the original Greek you will not find the mention of spiritual worship. The correct wording is reasonable service. Much confusion enters in when these things happen. Service is a work and would be...
Wellwisher,
To worship in spirit is to worship with your voice. This would include singing songs of praise, prayer, and anything having to do with bringing honor and glory to God using ones voice. Your words are spirit.
To worship in truth is to do those things commanded of us like loving one...
The message in the old testament and that in the new are one and the same. You will not find this message taught in the synagogues or in the churches, but you will find it throughout the old testament and the new. They are intertwined with that same word. What could not be accomplished in the...
My purpose is not to create contention between my Christian brothers regarding certain doctrinal issues. Paul teaches that we should build up one another.
I read 3rd Angel's post of Nov 19, 2022 and I am hoping he will follow what I am about to say regarding that subject. But first I feel it is...
One great issue Judaism seems to have with Christian theology is the concept of the trinity.
I like to take the Apostle Paul's advice from 1 Corinthians 11:3; "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity...
As promised I will address what is spirit:
Mans spirit is his word, it is his communicator. It resides in the heart and in the mind, (Matthew 12:33). Jesus said the words I speak are spirit, (John 6:63).
Coupled with faith, your spirit can do things, (Mk11:23). Spirit is always speaking...
Before I get into what is spirit, I would like to share some thoughts and feelings I had when I first began to study the scriptures.
I admit, Jesus greatly hurt my feelings when he referred to us non-Jews as dogs in Matthew 15:21-28, and Mark 7:24-30.
Then sometime later when I began to...
Comradio,
You have surely gone astray my brother. By your own admission you created something you called a question, but in reality it's just another accusation directed at the one true God. The fictional god you conjured up in your head should remain there, it belongs to you alone. If you...
What God are you referring to? What theology forms the basis of your accusation? There is nothing in the Christian New Testament to back up what you imply.
