My question to you is, "who is Mark"? Was he a first person witness of what Yeshua said? How can you use him as a means to determine a matter, when Yeshua confirmed what is said in Dt 19:15, that "every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses"? (Mt 18:16) As in...
You put the cart before the horse. Legislatures make laws, the executive branches are simply supposed to enforce laws. The current laws, except in several liberal states, do not support Obama's position. Possibly you should campaign for states rights, and then move to one of the states which...
The travelers from the East were magi, who studied the stars, and the planets. The planets all had meanings, and when certain planets were in alignment, they had special meanings. In approximately the year 6 BC, the alignment of two planets had the meaning of a new king in Israel. King Herod of...
You believe the bible is the inspired word of God because church tradition tells you so. Yeshua states that you will find that the seeds of the tares were sown along with the good wheat seeds. (Mt 13:38) The canon of your bible came from the Roman bishop of Alexandria, Athranasia, in the year...
One of the guide post of the "Way" is found in Isaiah 8:20,"To the law and the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn"
The pope gave an apology for the sins of his predecessors. It seemed like he wasn't blaming the church, as predecessors refers to men preceeding him. It is like woops, they made a mistake, but my clothes are as white as snow.
The Pope and his apology for the Inquisition
Of course I blame the...
Maybe I missed something, but being a judge refers to after the Satan was bound for a 1000 years (Rev 20:2). Unless you are living in a different plain of existance than I, Satan is still quite active. Just read these forums. As for the priesthood being able to remit sins, the evidence is in...
Mt 7:15-24 was about false prophets, who come as sheep clothing but are "ravenous" wolves. This pertains to Paul as Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin, whose blessing from his father was to be as a "ravenous wolf" (Gen 49:27). You would be able to know the false prophets by their fruit of their...
I am just trying to be realistic. Not only was Arius excommunicated and thrown out of the country by Constantine because of Athanasius stance, but Athanasius was booted by Constantine's son, because of Arius's stance. Unnatural death was part of politics. Look at the untimely death of...
Actually the cannon of the bible was originally put together by the bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius. To me, a kind of a nefarious character, who rejoiced when Arius, an antagonist with respect to the Trinity doctrine, died a mysterious painful death.
Definition of GENTILE
often capitalized : a person of a non-Jewish nation or of non-Jewish faith; especially : a Christian as distinguished from a Jew
A Roman would certainly fit this definition if they weren't a Jew. According to the NT, Paul was a Roman citizen from Taurus. He was also a...
You are getting all your information from a supposed associate of Paul, and even this associate said the Paul called out Peter for eating with Gentiles. Not only called out Peter on this, put told the whole world to make Peter look bad. Not the kind of friend I would want. Not quite like Yeshua...
