John 2:19-22
Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. But he spoke about the temple of his body. Now when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had...
Exodus 3:13-14
And Moses said to God, What is your name? Then God said to Moses, Ehyeh asher Ehyeh. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel EHYEH has sent me to you.
In Hebrew the letter E is a prefix which means "I". The word HYEH means "to be". Combined, "EHYEH" means "I...
Jesus, the Creator of ALL things
John 1:3+10
All things were made through him, and without him, nothing was made that has been made.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
Romans 11:36
For by him, and through him, and for him are all...
If everyone lived their lives according to "what would Jesus do" could society function, or would it collapse?
Personally, I think it would improve but perhaps I'm being naive?
In more recent times, I see more and more Christians claiming that not only was Jesus a learned scholar, but he was actually a rabbi. This is evidenced, in their view, from the fact that he's called "rabbi" by some in the NT.
In Judaism, though, this is not a feasible view. Not because there's...
In this recent thread, people discussed why we need Jesus as savior.
This thread is about how his death was necessary according to the Bible.
According to Jewish tradition, there needs to be a sacrifice in order that the sins of mankind should be absolved.
Nevertheless, Richard Dawkins calls...
Why didn't God leave behind a huge trove of secular evidence for Jesus having lived on earth, dying on the cross and all the supernatural events accompanying the crucifixion like dead bodies rising from the grave and walking around Jerusalem? If God really wanted us all to believe Jesus is His...
Question to Christians:
According to Christianity, what things must happen in the world for Jesus to return?
For example:
Is there a certain number of people in the world that have to become Christian first?
Are there certain people who must become Christian first?
Are there certain things...
Question to Christians:
Question #1
According to Christianity, if Jews living in the land of Israel during the 2nd Temple period, in the midst of the Roman occupation, had accepted Jesus as the Christian concept of messiah, what would have happened?
Moments after?
Five years after?
Etc...
Questions to Christians.
I have seen a claim that Jesus was sinless or that he fulfilled the Torah. My questions are as follows.
Are you saying that Jesus actually did the entire 613 mitzvoth of the Torah himself?
If not, are you saying that while he was living, he did all the ~20 mitzvoth...
Who is your Savior? And saving you from what?
Note 1: Speak for yourself, try not to generalize or speak for others - let's leave that to ***
Note 2: Use your own words, not copy/paste verses from Bible or other Scriptures
Note 3: This is not restricted to Theists only of course
Best known is...
There have been several threads recently where questons have come up as to:
Why do Torah based Jews not accept Chrisitian scriptual interpretation?
Why do Torah based Jews not Jesus as a/the Messiah?
Why is there a divide between "Judaism" and "Christianity?"
It is hope that in this post these...
1. The Jews claim they killed Jesus (Doesn't say Romans), yet they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him says the Qur'an - 4:157
2. Jesus was called the "Messiah". - 3:45
3. Jesus had followers, him, and his followers preached a theology - 61:14
4. He spoke to the Jews - 5:46, 72
Rather...
If Christians make up 1% of India's population that means there is 13 million Christians in India which is a pretty sizeable amount.
Are these practising Christians? If they are then do you think there are more practising Christians than UK, France or Germany?
Are there any famous Indian...

I was listening to a class today about the well-known story of Yehoshua ben Perachia and That Other Guy (aka Oto Ha'ish, aka Yeshu, aka Jesus, etc) from Sanhedrin 107b.
For those who...
Legitimate question here, and an interesting one for Catholics in particular to address (since they deem it an unforgivable sin).
First I'll post a common definition of suicide for arguments sake:
noun
1 the intentional taking of one's own life.
2 destruction of one's own interests or...
When faith changes into knowing
Some people need "peer-reviewed proof", before believing. I trust my own experience only, not others' reviews.
Hypothetical: Our belief in Jesus.
A) What is needed for you to really believe in Jesus?
For me, to really believe Jesus exists, now, and Him being...
Edit: The following thread was created for discussion/debate by Jews and Noahides.
Last shabbat, one of the rabbis at my yeshiva gave us a talk about the almost-forgotten Fast of the 9th of Tevet, probably created in the memory of Simon Kipa, which led to talking about some of the history of...
