But everyone can listen after the dishes are done. What can't wait? Wouldn't it be more profound if he actually got up off the couch and helped out?
Perhaps Jesus felt dinner could wait. The word of God was more important to living this life.
And yet they don't really mention much in the stories they tell. Jesus is a lot like God in the bible: starts off as supposedly the Main Character but is left with just cameos by the end.
Jesus is the main Character in the Gospel’s. What they say of him makes him and his teaching primary, If you read them. The letters that comprise most of the Greek Scriptures are the apostles explaining things to believers.
No, they committed to political infighting while hostile forces wanted control of the land.
God defended Israel as long as the rulers & people obeyed Him, Their infighting and vulnerability happened because they strayed with everything from murder by conspiracy to Idolatry.
Because Judaism was Hellenizing prior to Rome and Rome made the Greeks look like amateurs and broadening one's horizons was seen as being some sort of blood traitor or something even though by that point probably no one was "purely Jewish" by then anyway. You might, if you can get past the horrible formatting and walls of text, want to read
this book. The bible simply can't be properly read without knowing the situation "on the ground" as discovered through history and archaeology.
When I can afford it I will get the book. What I know of Archaeology, it has proved most of the Hebrew scriptures.
From the wiki about it:
So, there were other motives besides Jewish protests.
Romans even before the destruction of the temple raided it for supplies and treasure, like Pompeyand such.
It doesn’t change the fact that the Jewish uprising had something to do with the destruction..
He didn't give the first person to eat the magic fruit a rule to follow. She had to learn it from Adam or something because the rule predates her creation.
Eve didn’t have the will to come against the snake’s misuse of what God had told Adam. And Adam had no excuse. The pair thought they would hurry God’s plan for them up. God said no to one thing and they couldn’t leave it alone.
He doesn't have to practice mind control, just basic parenting 101. You don't leave the kids alone with the chips and become shocked to see chip dust all over their faces.
Besides they were not children.
So the people who most need His assistance are just out of luck. Maybe they reject God because He didn't help them instead of God not helping because He was rejected.
Because there is parental guidance that goes with his help, It is despite His help that they rejected Him.
Did Jesus own any of the livestock or trees he killed when walking around preaching?
Isn't setting yourself up as the "keeper of the keys" when Jesus himself calls you "Satan" fraud?
Weren't people murdered, I'm sorry, "victims of the Lord's wrath" *coughcough*?
Isn't Judas framed for something that had to be done in the first place and no one should've known about because the meetings were supposedly secret?
Did Christianity not go hog wild after legalization, burning books and buildings and killing people, etc?
1.God owns everything as His only Son Jesus does too.
2. No. God always held the keys of death and hell. As the Son of God Jesus would have control of them. Satan is not given the keys as far as I know from my reading of the Bible.
3. The victims of God’s wrath who died had lived lying to the Spirit of violating God’s law. Some sacrificed their children to false gods.
4. Judas wasn’t framed. He betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin. Yes, it would have happened somehow with the rascal Judas or not.
5. Being legalized was one of Christianity’s darkest days. It merged the world with the Church. It became judgmental and forced Book burnings that in the early church had been done voluntarily. The church, as it became, stopped following Jesus’ example and followed that of the world.
That is what they tell themselves instead of being honest about the real reason, and politics drove most of the issue. Paul has no problem throwing his Jewishness/Christianity under the bus when he's in trouble and touts his Roman citizenship to try to get out of jail. People loyal to Yahweh wouldn't have even considered such a "blasphemous" thing as to be called Matt or John or Peter or ... wait, where was I again?
The politics of the time was for the Roman and against the Christian. During some reigns the Christians were put in the arena with lions and tigers. Paul threw no one under the bus. The Jews politics had them working with Romans against Christians. Paul preached the Gospel to his death. He never threw Christianity under the bus.
I have no idea where you were.
So you don't believe he conquered death and sin the first time around?
Yes I do and those things will not prompt his return. He will return to resurrect the dead and save Christians from the rest of the world.
And they lived to be nearly 1000 years old. God specifically worded it to sound like taking one bite would kill them instantly. God was the one being dishonest because He reveals mere paragraphs later the VERBATIM reason God REALLY didn't want them to eat the fruit as reported by the serpent. He didn't want us to have powers like He did. The serpent can't be lying unless you admit God is lying too when He confirms it.
1000 years is hardly an eternity. An immature pair who didn’t have the self-control to avoid eating the fruit, did not have the self-control to judge either. This was proven by Cain. We still don’t have powers like He does. We have technology that mimic’s God’s powers but, we cannot walk on water without technology. You say God confirms that He lied. Provide a chapter and verse where He did that.
So everything they ate survived the trip through the digestive tract? NOTHING died in front of them the whole time?
What is that suppose to mean?
So Jesus, not Jonah, saved the people of Ninevah?
YHWH chose to repent of His malicious intent for Ninevah’s sins because The king repented of the nation’s sin and commanded the people to do the same. The spirit that fueled Jesus ran intercession for the people and the cattle of the city.
Christians also witness to believers, suggesting God isn't talking to them at all or you'd expect Him to give them an accurate membership list.
Believers follow what the Greek scriptures teach. Many so called believers don’t know Jesus Paul or Matthew at all.
Lives of the Prophets - Wikipedia
Then you know that the politics of the time killed a number of prophets.
Interesting article.
Feeding them for one meeting isn't as impressive as making sure they stay fed the next day. He goes from town to town, so who feeds the hungry while he's not there?
It says they were afraid the people who had been there quite a while would faint on their way to the town to buy food so Jesus and the apostles fed them. They were not the homeless starving masses. It might help if you would read it instead of scanning the scriptures.
His origin was irrelevant as he was an adopted Egyptian royal. He would've known what the laws were.
His origin was relevant adopted by a royal or not as was the origin of the person Moses saved.
Following Moses through the desert got almost everyone from that generation killed. I'd have told Moses "thanks, but no thanks".
The Israelites did say no thanks to Moses. Moses went to God to keep Him from killing them outright and God provided food and water. You might want to read what Moses and God went through with the x slaves.
No wonder Moses would've wanted to avoid a trial.
Your excerpt doesn’t mention the evidence required to prove murder. Nor does it describe the worthiness of a slave’s testimony. Moses certainly would have known that the word of the Israelite he saved would be worth nothing and his conviction would have been a certain thing.
Still doesn't even call her "mom".
His family thought he was crazy.
His family thought he was crazy in the early days. His brother became a martyr for the faith later. Whether he calls her mother or not, he insures that she’ll be cared for by John.
Not breathing doesn't necessarily equate to being dead. I'm an RN and such stories interest me highly.
Does one have to be brain dead to be really dead? I’m sure he hadn’t been breathing for quite a while.
And they were the ones who taught you that, yes? The people who couldn't be trusted said, "Ok, for real, you can trust us now." And you are good with that.
From them and my experience with the Holy Spirit and what it can do I’m good with that.
We are putting kids in concentration camps thanks to the "soul feeding" of the bible. Adults want to see kids bummed out about being shot at dead, which is totally legit from the "spiritual nutrition" of the bible.
What are you talking about?
Historically there were and the bible couldn't hide all the references. El, Asherah, Baal, Yahweh, Anat, Astarte ... all have references all throughout. Monotheism was attempted in ancient Egypt prior to Judaism's crack at it and both instances are largely for the same general purpose: monopolizing political and economic power over the population. Multiple gods mean multiple temples and people not necessarily coming to visit yours. So, they had to go. It would be like Disney buying Six Flags and Universal.
Baal means foolishness in Hebrew. It was a false god as were all but Yahweh They were statues that people bowed to and in some cases sacrificed children to. Wiki says what Kings says; the Jews worshiped many gods for quite a while, but it was not so before the time in Egypt, according to the Bible. And after the time in Babylon they had turned back to Yahweh. Wiki and Bible agree.
Judaism was the first to hold that morality comes from one God with unchanging laws.
