Malachi what a nice idea for a post. I feel sorry for you that it has been derailed. Why don't we read what Malachi asked us to do in this thread. There is much profit in studying the Hebrew names connected to Jehovah, what they mean, and how they applied to the individuals bearing those...

Matt 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Jesus was quoting from Psalm 37. All of chapter 37 gives us more insight into what Jesus was saying at Matthew 5:5. Notice verse 9 refers to a time when the wicked will be gone from the earth. For most of mankind’s history there...

Here is just a small list. There are tons of them. Hallelujah is also derived from God's name it means praise Jah. (Jesus) [Lat. form of the Gr. I·e·sousʹ, which corresponds to the Heb. Ye·shuʹaʽ or Yehoh·shuʹaʽ and means “Jehovah Is Salvation”]. (Abijah) [My Father Is Jehovah]. (Adonijah)...

You just said that Jesus is the name of the Son of God, so what is the name of God the Father?

Hi I just wanted to add that the prohibition against consuming blood predates the law covenant given to Moses. This is not something that only applied to those under the law. Right after the global flood, when God first granted humans the right to eat animal flesh, he commanded Noah and his...

I agree that we are not under the law. Jesus did away with the law. We have no dietary restrictions. Blood is not food. This is a different matter. Please read all of Acts chapter 15. Some Jewish Christians were having a hard time letting go of the law. They thought that Gentiles that became...

I agree with Deborah that Romans 8:28,29 is talking about a group of people not individuals. 2 Peter 1:10 says: “Do your utmost to make the calling and choosing of you sure for yourselves; for if you keep on doing these things you will by no means ever fail.” (If the individuals were...

Do you believe that the current nation of Israel and the Jews living there today have a part to play in the unfolding of God's purpose? You said " The nation of Israel and it's rightful heir are put off till some other time." Are you talking about Jesus taking on his role of King of God's...

Notice that 2Kings 2:11 doesn't say that Elijah died and went to heaven. Elijah was caught up in a windstorm. God must have transported Elijah through the atmosphere to another place on the earth. Elijah was spoken of in the bible at a later time. So he was alive and living somewhere else. 2...

Brother Mike I wanted to know if you thought that there are people who are thousands of years old. I made it clear that I meant they are living in the same body they were born in. The are fleshly and live on earth. What I think you are telling me is that if our bodies stop functioning, we must...

Jesus said, who shall loose their life shall find it. Already we see Jesus view on death, is looking way beyond just your body dying. Jesus is not saying kill ourselves and we shall find our life. He is talking about a heart condition, and our whole life, not our physical body. Here you are...

So do you literally believe that their are some people living today that are thousands of years old? Please explain. Thanks

Hi, someone recently showed me this scripture in the bible. (Matthew 16:28)  Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here who will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his Kingdom.” They said it had to do with John and implied that John is still...

I understand what you are saying and agree. Christians can make their own vows to God and shave their head as a symbol if they want to like Paul did. I said there was no Christian Nazarites because I was thinking of it in terms of the Mosaic Law and the particular set of practices that had to be...

:)Yes I agree that man became fallen in nature after Adam and Eve sinned. Although this doesn’t pertain to the issue nor does the Mosaic Law play apart in the issue of whether a Christian woman should wear head covering. The scriptures that you sighted about men wearing head covering in the Old...
