You forgot about Galatians 2:7 regarding Peter's calling. No, it does not. Actually, the Abrahamic promises foretold descendents as the dust of the Earth AND as stars of heaven. There were provisions for both earthly and spiritual in other words. The fulfillment of a promise spiritually does...

Julian: I see from some of your posts that you have questions. Let me first off tell you to avoid Benny Hinn. It's amazing that some of us who search for truth (as I do) are considered doubters and even heretical, only to be substituted with the likes of Benny Hinn. It makes me wonder where...

Well for starters, maybe look into what the Bible really says. I used to believe that, too. No, there is a difference. Actually it does, I explained Romans 9-11 in light of what I'm saying. The children of the promise are counted for the seed. This passage (that you appear to be quoting to...

I'm not sure the point you're making here. If anything, my scholars are in the minority, but enough of them to take a serious look. In Jesus' time, those opposing scholars would have been in the majority (the likes of which question my stance). So if anything, if you are going with what's...

All I can say, is it depends who you ask. I know there's scholars both past and present that believe the evidence is adequate. The reason this is important to know is because God made some serious promises to the patriarches Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I find it interesting that scoffers sneer...

Well, you're welcome to download the book--- at least its free (I can't understand why anyone sells something any longer that is in public domain other than to have it bound materially in a nice-looking book). I trust you can come to your own conclusions and not judge something that is not...

About vegetarians. I take it most here know that mankind was vegetarian until Noah. Or, if they did eat flesh, that was not of Noah's righteous line (God knows what the perverted generations of people did or ate). However, after the flood, God said to Noah, "Every moving thing that liveth...

I think you misunderstood me. Jeremiah 3:8 is one passage of scripture I taught on already. God divorced Israel, but not Judah (the Jews). Now what happens when a woman divorces? If she remarries, she gets another name. She forgets her old identity. The old husband died, freeing her from...

I couldn't agree more--- some folks confuse the church with Israel, and that's called replacement theology. However, from what I am saying, I believe a lot of the church fulfills the promises to Israel because the church includes many of the actual (physical) seed of Abraham, on the order of...

It's good that you come to God over and over again when the going gets rough. That shows faithfulness. II Timothy 2:13 goes even deeper than what many perceive it to be as we are the body of Christ--- even if we (in our fleshy state) disown Him, God's covenant is unbreakable. This is why I am...

The church and Israel are different. Israel is the chosen people of God in accordance with the promises to Abraham. Their purpose was to bring glory to God. (Isaiah 49:3). Included in these numerous Abrahamic promises are to become a great population group, perhaps a 1/4 of the world's...

This subject comes up over and over again on many Christian forums. There is no contradiction between Matthew's and Luke's genealogy. Matthew's genealogy shows Jesus' LEGAL lineage thru Joseph. The future Messiah had to have the legal right to the throne of David AND be a son of David...

Re: Same ole thing AVBunyan: This becomes the "eternal security" question. I hear people bandy that back and forth on all kinds of forums. But in this same forum, we are discussing marriage, divorce and remarriage. No matter how pitiful people's stories are, no matter "how much happier"...

Vic: I know you are not making anything mandatory. I was just wondering what you were referring to. In addition, the way I mentioned is the way to go if one wants to upload many pictures. You'd be surprised how many people do not realize they have the ability to upload free stuff on the web...

Nikki: Yes, I am referring to geocities.com. I never was aware they did that, and I do not understand how they enforce that if it's your web site. If you exceed to much bandwidth, it just won't work until a later time. To prove my point you can click on my avatar I use on other Christian...

Vic: Do you mean hotlinking avatars or the like? e.g. one uses for an avatar something they find on another web site. If there are personal pictures or avatars, one can simply upload them to yahoo. Anyone who has a yahoo email (and who doesn't these days? :-D ) automatically has a web site...

It is--- verses 10-11 when they got into the land, the priest waved the firstfruit sheaf on the morrow after the sabbath (this was during Passover week). This was an important and notable ceremony. Then in verses 15-17 came Pentecost seven weeks later based from the time of the wave sheaf: And...

Yes and no. Pentecost is the "feast of weeks" and also sometimes called firstfruits, but it comes from the same harvested crop of the first wave sheaf offered on the morrow after the sabbath (during Passover week). The first sheaf, of course, was singular, Christ raising from the dead and...

Wednesday, late 14th of Nissan. Buried sundown starting 15th Nissan Thursday, then 1,2,3..... brings us to the start of the 18th, Sunday. I already stated this at the start of the thread and even supplied a link that showed a table. The question now is not so much the day of the week he died...

Bob: You (and some others) believe the Lord rose on Sabbath. What about the feast of Firstfruits which occurred on a Sunday after the weekly sabbath? What then does it depict? Seemingly, you believe in feast days, and yet circumvent this one. This is one of the most important ones since it...
