Dejection was this realm called earth, despondency encased That is, till I beheld the image of your holy face Effulgent and celestial, your members scintillating To gaze upon the fullness of your frame, exhilirating With motion checked and mouth agape, on you my eyes transfixed Marveling the...

There are two major discrepancies I want to point out between Matthew and Luke in their Nativities which are as follows: 1) Matthew's story has Joseph and Mary living in Bethlehem when Jesus was born while Luke places their home in Nazareth and attempts to place them in the traditional...

I smoke, I must admit. Am I going to hell, lol?

In regards to your answer, I must simply say you are reading too much into the text. The same word for 'divine nature' in 2Pet.1.4 is the same word used in Col.2.9. We share in the divine nature given by God, and Christ possesses it fully. Col.2.10 also says we are 'complete' (full, related to...

Gen.36.31(NASB) Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel. Does any one care to explain how Moses listed a succession of Edomite kings in detail up until the Israelite monarchy half a millenium (or roughly 2+ centuries, depending on...

Food is Good: The Glutton's Prayer: Food is good Food is great Let us put it on our plate Indulge ourselves 'Cause it's so nice All the dishes to entice Every kind And every flavor Sugary desserts we savor When we've done And filled our core Then we'll come back and get some more

Thought I'd post it here, because when people read my poetic work, this one generally seems to be the most favored. "Love Steps" My love is like a flight of stairs Except these stairs will never end Each step is filled with loving care I'll never touch the floor again Sometimes I skip a...

On other message forums I've attended, this has been a heated matter of contention. I thought I'd bring the discussion here to read differing viewpoints on the subject matter. I maintain a more liberal, figurative interpretation of Genesis on the grounds of many a factor (historical...

Imo, anyway. I haven't studied end-time bible prophecy. End-time bible prophecy is not my thing. However, I have casually taken a look at the the different positions concerning the Tribulation and the Rapture and have determined that a Pre-Trib Rapture is completely ridiculous. I don't know...

Just thought this would make an interesting debate topic.

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS [Yeshua]: for he shall save [yasha] his people from their sins. Yeshua means "He [YHWH] will save" and is derived from the tetragrammaton (YHWH) and the Hebrew word for "save", i.e. yasha. This is a...

I can only find support for the latter: Malachi 2:10; Ephesians 4:6; 1 Corinthians 8:6. Not to say the title elohim/theos is not applied to Yeshua and the Spirit (a different subject), but that that when the "one God" is discussed in scripture, it is evidently referring to the Father. It...

Is Christ truly the "angel of YHWH" that appeared throughout the OT scriptures?

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Is this a reference to the law? How so? What are your proofs? Thanx.

If Paul was against the law and taught others not to keep it, how do we explain his acts (helping 4 men with ending their Nazarite vow) in this chapter? I know of two answers to this question. Most Christian believers answer it with this passage: 1 Corinthians 9:20 And unto the...

Here is every instance where it is found in scripture along with the actual Greek (English words that do not appear in the Greek will be in italics): (KJV) Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week [mian sabbaton], came Mary Magdalene and...

#1. By your words: Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. #2. By asking the one Elohim to be merciful to your sin in humility: Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other...

"Christ is now our rest!" "I don't have to be holy one day a week. We are supposed to be holy every day!" "I don't limit my worship to one day a week. I can worship God in the Spirit everyday!" "I don't just do good on one day out of the week! With Christ as my rest, everyday is a day...

WARNING! This study may seem very weird, long, non-gentile pagan based, and Hebraic to some people! It will all come together as I tie the title and opening points right below with the end, however. Bear with me. Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, "My house shall be called...

Messiah’s Fulfillment of Torah and Prophets (Matthew 5:17-18) Many interpret this passage to mean that because Messiah was without sin and kept torah perfectly, that we do not have to do it. That he didn’t necessarily destroy it, but kept it so we don’t have to because it...
