no problem. when you really think about it and read about humankind's biblical history. the purpose of the torah (instruction) that God gave us (everyone including you) is no different than the torah we as parents give our children. its intent is to govern and set limits to our behavior on this...
hi again N.C.
guess who? ;)
interesting question, heres a quick answer.
Read the history of man as found in the Bible, and it should be made readily apparent eternal life isnt the focus concerning the law.
Evil was once rampant in this world, so much so, that Yehovah actually regretted he...
Here some ramblings of mine hope you find something you can use. It can get quiet complicated.
Our thoughts on what you call the devil and we call ha satan are in some respects quite different. We dont see ha satan as an independent enitity battling God over the souls of men or for the throne...
I beg to differ, though prophecy may sometimes appear to be speaking directly to an individual, it is not always intended only for that particular person, his descendants and or their offspring.
It is written when a stranger (gentile) enjoins themselves and sojourns with Israel. God no longer...
eddif, do you have children? I do, a daughter, and the only outward evidence that shows anyone that she loves her parents is that she abides in our instruction. If she rebels, forsakes my instruction, chases after what is pleasing to her eyes. That would be an outward indication she does not...
If Im not mistaken, isnt one of the core beliefs of Christianity that the sacrifice of Jesus and the shedding of his blood was the final reparation (atonement) for sins of the world? I dont want to argue for or against that, if thats your belief that's not for me to comment on, its between you...
sorry about my spelling in my above post, it's not presumptive it's 'presumptuous'. Which as I said basically means there is no sacrifice that can atone for willful sin. Which is why many of us dont understand why others continue to try to convince us there is and attempt to draw us away from...
. Intersting response, what would you have suspected if I had was 100% Judean or 100% Gentile?
I think we are beginning to debate here because frankly your response, particularly the first quote had no bearing on the discussion. I will close with the hope some now may have a little better...
Hopefully Im not coming off too debatey like. Its just that many here presume to know what a nation thinks or should think. So, I just want you to understand what you are up against and why many of us will never waver. We see the Torah as instruction given to us by our God and King. Why we...
Why does a King need to be concerned with a Divine sacrifice? He didnt do anything wrong He owes nothing. In my Bible He is King, Ruler, Sovereign it his prerogative to forgive, or not. My bible teaches personal responsibility to my Creator. If I mess up I bear the burden of my sin. If I...
Hi Net Chaplain,
There are no 'required' sacrifices for sin. In the Levitical intruction, they are free will offerings for sin done in ignorance. In otherwords if you choose to offer an animal for something you're not even sure was a sin. It simply instructs the person as to the kind of animal...
I truly appreciate your opinion. However, the point I was trying to make was to bring to light that nowhere does God ever mention the key to my salvation is to believe in a human sacrifice as a necessity to my future. In fact the only thing He has ever said he requires of us is to do good, love...
That is not the key to my salvation at least not according to YHVH my God. You see we are told time and time again why he has hidden His face from us. We have done worse than our fathers, we have forsaken YHVH, we have not kept His Torah, we dont listen to YHVH. It is why he cast us out of...
Since I have not had such an experience the best I can say to someone who has is: "I believe, you believe that."
But I will say NDE claims have caught the attention of some in the medical field and studies were done but nothing has been proven one way or the other.
Listening to Jeff Beck now. I saw him and Jennifer Batten and the House of Blues in New Orleans about 20 years ago. Best concert I ever attended. There's no denying this guy and Jennifer are rock-n-roll geniuses. ;)
cells were not part of the explosion. that explosion was as far as we know, intense energy, akin to super duper powerful beams of light. that energy was not replaced by matter, matter is built of the light of creation. we are made of the light of creation. pretty kewl huh?
Seemed like the thing to do. Just wanted to say that loving God, your neighbor, or the stranger is not about getting a thing for doing a thing, it's about giving.
Hello Angel, I have a tale to tell you. Hopefully there is enough room. :)
It was a time, a few thousand years ago, of extreme political tension. The vast Greco-Roman empire was about to split into two mutually jealous factions, one part based in Rome, one in Damascus. Marcus and Aristos had...
yes, it is good discussion. seek the truth where ever it may be found. :). But its good to expand your knowledge.
Hell, hades, gehinnom, purgatory, sheol all fun to discuss ideas about them and their origins. But honestly what I fear is YHVH my God not that other stuff.
peace
