    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    What are my claims?

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    The earliest dating of a scrap of the Koran was sourced from Yemen, and was mid 6th century, and pre Koran, and consisted of a partial writing that was bleached out and written over. As for a full preserved copy, that would be around the 8th century, with the number of Surahs/chapters, varying...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    And who are these "eChurch Fathers"? Where they the "scribes" who made a lie out of the LAW" (Jeremiah 8:8). Or were they "our fathers" who "inherited nothing but falsehoods" (Jeremiah 16:19)? Did your father of science, Newton, think that the heavens were created on a "second day" comprised...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    Science, history, and archeology change daily. What was thought of as fact yesterday, is no longer fact today. What "God" actually wrote (written) was the 10 Commandments. Those 10 Commandments haven't changed, nor are they hard to understand. Everything else is trimmings. The prophets...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    The earliest existent partial copies of the Old Testament are dated to the Qumran findings dated much later than 600 B.C.. If you are referring to books written supposedly from memory, then you will also be a fan of the Koran. There are around 100 different versions of the Koran with at least...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    And who were the authors of the NT. Luke is an undescribed individual who stated he just wrote down stories told to him by unspecified individuals. Yeshua said you needed two witness to establish any matter (Mt 18;16 & Deut 19:15). Do your "google" search and find out that half of the...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    Well, Yeshua (Mt 13:13-14) referred to Isaiah 6:9 with respect to which people will understand and which will not, and that is with respect also to Daniel, per Daniel 12:10. Daniel is full of parables, with the same situations described in a myriad of ways, and it parallels Revelation. One of...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    Well, according to Yeshua's parable with respect to the "kingdom of heaven", those "who commit lawlessness", the followers of the false gospel of grace (Mt 13:13-41), will be gathered out "first", and thrown into the furnace of fire (Mt 13:30 & 42). According to Jeremiah 16:19, the survivors of...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    The church fathers of the nations/Gentiles, are in the future to be referred to as arbiters of "falsehoods" after the "day of distress" (Jeremiah 16:19). And the NT authorship, seems to be based on best guesses, or simply fraudulent. As for the Pentateuch, that would be in the realm of...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Catholics are generally baptized as infants. They don't even know they are a "person "at the time. Did Stalin being baptized make him a "new person"? A "Christian" is simply a person who has become a follower of the false prophet Paul, and the "worthless shepherd" (Zech 11:17), Peter. They...

    Karma is you get what you give. There is no fight in the concept. If you were a rotten child, if you become a parent, don't be surprised if your kids are not angels. It is best to not be a rotten child, but to expect Karma if you were. No one escapes justice in the long term. It is best to...

    Comparing the Bible to the Qur'an.

    Fine with you, but Iran is pulling its troops, and Passover is just behind the door, and the final nail is apparently the feast of Booths, with regard to Zechariah 14:16. If you are fine, then you are probably in the U.S.. Wait a couple of months for the coming inflationary depression. NH has...

    Faith is being sure...

    Things work out for those that God loves. If you feel that love, and don't test God, well then you may well have reason to feel the way you do. Being completely oblivious doesn't sound like the best path, but girls seem to get away with a lot. Personally, I like to know if something is coming...

    Faith is being sure...

    If Abraham wasn't sure about sacrificing Isaac, he wouldn't have tied him up and started to sacrifice him. Most people believe one thing or another, but do not have what it takes to act.

    Newton could read and write. As for Galileo, his writings were couched, an example being his thoughts on the earth circling the sun was written in a fictional book, not a book of science. Apparently, Galileo wasn't couched enough, for the Inquisition wound up breaking the man. Now Leonardo...
