I read something very interesting in the epistle from Barnabas. He writes:
Barnabas 15:3
Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And
God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the
seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it.
Barnabas 15:4
Give heed...
I just read the Barnabas letter and found something I haven't heard before. "Barnabas" writes that the dietary laws of the Old Testament are not to be understood literally but in the spiritual sense.
He writes:
Barnabas 10:1
But forasmuch as Moses said; Ye shall not eat seine nor eagle nor...
The first book of Enoch (not the "2" or "3") is clearly God's Word.
Why?
1. It does not contradict the Bible once, but confirms it.
2. The prophets, the apostles and also Jesus quote from the book of Enoch.
Here are some:
Jude 1:14-15
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these...
Jehovah's Witnesses and Adventists claim that Michael (the angel) is Jesus. However, in the Bible Jesus is neither described as an angel nor as Michael. Not once.
They also claim that Michael is the only Archangel, which is not said in the Bible.
What is an Archangel?
There are altogether seven...
I am trying to understand why people are Christians and what it means to them to be a Christian. So, I have three questions.
What caused you to become a Christian?
What does being a Christian mean to you?
How do you think Jesus wants you to live?
What exactly is the problem?
We people are a small trinity too. We people consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not each 3 people but only one human.
Are there a soul and a spirit?
Yes.
The Bible mentions and differentiates spirit, soul and body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now may...
Martin Luther once said:
"The Hebrew language is the very best and richest in words, and pure, does not beg, has its own color. [...] When I was younger, I wanted to learn this language, because without it, one can no longer properly understand the Scriptures. That's why they said rightly: The...

In the old scriptures of the Bible it says in John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?
but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says
... and the Word was a God.
The...
In 1947 the Isaiah scroll was found in the Dead Sea, one found out that it was written in the 2nd century B.C. and therefore it is the oldest preserved manuscript of a whole book of the Bible. It was also found that the found Isaiah scroll is completely identical with the book of Isaiah in the...
Today I saw a thread posing the question:
"Obviously there must be an ultimate truth, but do all religions show a way to this?"
This got me wondering.
A): "Obviously there must be an ultimate truth"
"MUST" implies IMO that you are groping (otherwise you would say "IS")... so kind of "not...

I explain it with a comparison.
We humans are a trinity too. We humans consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not 3 humans but only one human. It is the same with God, he consists of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet it is not three Gods but only one God. The body of God is...

Many Christians belittle non-Christians by telling "Christianity is the superior religion" (implying non-Christianity is inferior).
Maybe I am wrong, and it's not many Christians behaving like this. The poll might remove unclarities on this matter.
Maybe it's not just Christians who belittle...
Hello to those dwelling in Babylon, Grace and Peace to you. Anyway while reading about the Equality Act that recently passed in the house I realized that one likely result is more children being put on dangerous puberty blockers. Essentially it makes gender identity a protected class, so it...
"We are left with a situation where either Jesus, accepted as the Son of God, creator of the Cosmos and Man, becomes so enamored with Cynicism that he adopts it, or of Jesus, a man of flesh and bone, lacking divinity, yet becomming the most successful preacher and theologian in the history of...
You may think, who the heck is 'Yeshua the Nazarene'?
That is probably what the first followers of the spiritual Master Yeshua (Jesus) called him.
They did not think of him a Jesus Christ, as someone who could miraculously save them from damnation through a so-called 'vicarious sacrifice'. They...
