    Bible Study do christians have beard? " nor mar the edges of the beard "

    let me back up a minute here. Since it is addressed to the whole congregation of Israel and not just those who can grow facial hair. What is the basis for your proclaimation that it doesnt apply to men who cannot grow beards?

    Bible Study do christians have beard? " nor mar the edges of the beard "

    Sooo, what of the females who grow facial hair are they to remain as the bearded lady? What of those males who cannot for the life of them grow facial hair at all? How does the commandment as you interpret it apply to them? Its silly to think this a commandment just about prohibiting a clean...

    Bible Study do christians have beard? " nor mar the edges of the beard "

    The verse you quoted Lev 19:27 is only the first part of a comandment which says do not shave or do cut the flesh in remembrence or to honor the dead. Its written again in chapter 21. In layman terms dont shave and or cut your flesh when you go to a funeral. If your like me and dont have a...

    Bible Study What were they able to accomplish?

    In this case I think Biblical information is scanty at best, leaving us only to ponder over such statements. One source of information I like to peruse from time to time is the Jewish Encyclopedia. In it I usually find pretty good scientific, archeological, biblical, rabbinic and other sources...

    Bible Study Spirit of antichrist

    Ive read the portion where Jesus was annoited. Even king David was annoited and was flesh and on top of that called a righteous man. King Saul was annoited and was flesh. King Cyrus was annoited and was flesh. If you walked into Jerusalem in the days of Jesus and ask to see the annoited one...

    Bible Study Spirit of antichrist

    Where does it say if I do not believe Jesus is the messiah that I am not of God? I along with John believe Jesus was of flesh, came in the flesh, is of the flesh, however you want to word it. But all those other things you stated John did not say. Therefore I too am of God.

    Devil Worship

    lol, not sure what to make of that. The fact remains I find similar hand gestures are very common and span across all religious art.

    I've always noticed the hand held up with two fingers is found in most if not all religious art.

    Bible Study Luke 4:28-30

    Is it possible? I suppose he could have. But the trouble I have with that is cherry picking only certain sentences out of an entire book or chapter. Taking them out of context and developing entirely new and different meanings from them. When I read several chapters of Isaiah. I find in Isaiah...

    Bible Study Luke 4:28-30

    And may God bless you tb1.Taylor and Deborah13 :) Again, my intention was not to criticize your belief but simply bring to the table another point of view. That you and others may gain an understanding why they (and I) have trouble with Lukes writings in regards to Jesus's use of Isaiah 61...

    Bible Study Luke 4:28-30

    I see myself as one of those congregants who just heard what he read. Which according to Luke does seem to imply he was stating Jesus was the fufillment of the prophecy Isaiah spoke of. But, my issue is that after having read the prophecy in Isaiah and compared it to what Luke wrote. Like the...

    Bible Study Luke 4:28-30

    sorry I havent responded sooner. I just have few minutes now. You are correct that it took place on the Sabbath. It was not punishment per se. But it riled the congregation enough that they wanted him out of there. It obviously had something to do with the prophecy from Isaiah he just read to...

    Bible Study Two Covenants: The Old and New

    Please u derstand my intention is not to irratate anyone but rather educate another point of view, to share what I know. On the lighter side. Even though, after looking your photo, it appears you have no doubt lost the battle. The Ode to the First Grey Hair by Judah Halevi came to mind. You may...

    Bible Study Two Covenants: The Old and New

    I would also add that in my faith there is absolutely nothing new about grace, nothing new at all, many have found it. Yes Ez, even before you knew the meaning of the word you were already living in it because of the grace of YHVH. And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I make...

    Bible Study Two Covenants: The Old and New

    ---------------------------- What if? If I was one of those Hebrews which were addressed by this unknown author I would at the very least search the scriptures to see if this thing said were so. When I do I find the expression, "All His commandments are sure, they stand fast forever and ever...

    Bible Study The Different Names Of God

    Just want to throw my two cents in. The proper name was first given to Moses in Exodus Chapter 3 verse 15, not verse 14. "I am that I am" is not a proper name or noun. It is in the Hebrew language a verb as it describes a state of being. Therefore it must remain a verb in whatever language...

    Bible Study do you believe god can do anything? even break mathematical laws he created? without negative?

    In an attempt to explain reality the most popular mainstream interpretation is the Copenhagen Intepretation. One of its central tenets is that every event exists as a wave function which contains every possible outcome of that event, which finally “collapses" distilling into the actual outcome...
