In today's society it seems to be the opposite. The message encourages to be homosexual rather than heterosexual. And I think it is interesting shift. However, I think that something is called "negative message" doesn't necessary mean it is not true.
Bible tells why Jesus came. He came to...
I think it is wrong to mix up Messianic era to the idea of coming Messiah. Bible has many that were called messiah, anointed one. For example prophets, priests and kings were anointed for their job. And Bible (Old Testament) tells that there would come a prophet like Moses.
Yahweh your God will...
Yes! I agree with you completely! I'm actually sympathetic with the Jews position compared with the common assumptions in the Christian religion as it evolved. Simply put the coming of the Son had been foretold by seers for ages and ages, long before Abram left Ur, long before Babel, all the way...
Thank you. I agree, Messiah comes from the word anointed. And Bible tells there has been many anointed ones, people that were anointed to be priests, prophets or kings. But, it doesn't say directly that there will come "The Messiah" who will do something. Bible tells about many things of future...
The Elite Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church have Elohim's/God's Law written in their Heart. The Billions of Masses the leaders control are content with the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion and Confession to a Priest.
The 2.8 Billion Masses of Christians in Christendom don't really Love...
So, they are not part of the new covenant where God's law is written to person's heart?
For finding fault with them, he said, "Behold, the days come," says the Lord, "That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not according to the covenant that I made...
Since Pentecost I find the Israel of God is ' spiritual Israel ' meaning the Christian congregation.
Jerusalem ' above ' is now the seat of government - Galatians 4:26.
So, the NEW covenant of Jeremiah 31:31 is the blood of the covenant of Jesus - Matthew 26:28.
See also Luke 22:20 as to what...
Maybe we don't have the original context anymore, maybe the parts were removed that supported more Jesus. I think it is interesting where did the early Christians get the idea of Messiah, when our modern Bible doesn't have much about it really.
However, I think best point for Jesus is that the...
It does no good to me to quote from the book of Hebrews if it contradicts the Tanakh. If there is this contradiction, it only goes to show that the book of Hebrews should have been nixed.
The new covenant is for the world to come, not for this world. If you read about it, you will find for...
“If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it.” (Hebrew 8:7)
“But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of...
I think they are very same, because the OT tells about coming New Covenant, which I think is set by Jesus, and they have basically the same law. In OT it is said that in the New Covenant the law is written into persons heart. It means there happens change in person so that he becomes righteous...
Ok, thanks, that is interesting, because I don’t think there is anything in Bible that says so. But, Bible tells that people broke the covenant and God prepared a new one. Sorry that this has quite long quotes, but I think it is important to everyone to know that Bible tells about the covenants...
How could it be a bad thing, if even abortion that takes the whole life of a child is not considered a bad thing?
Circumcision was part of the covenant God made with Abraham (Genesis 17). If person wants to take part of that covenant, circumcision is necessary. But, God made a new covenant...
I agree, I just wonder why most Christians insist we don't have to keep the torah anymore. If Yeshua had done away with the commandments he would not qualify as the Messiah.
Jesus basically established the new covenant that was foretold in Deuteronomy 30:6-9 and Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live. Yahweh your God will put...
It is not. You can’t point any contradiction that is really in the Bible. All those contradictions are based on lack of knowledge, misunderstandings or misinterpretations.
For example, that is not a contradiction. It was set for them so that they would keep it forever, but people broke the...
Thanks. I have understood the God’s law is the ten commandments, and probably all the smaller rules God gave to Moses. It is called the law in the Bible. Circumcision was given to Abraham as the sign of the covenant God made with him. When people are circumcised, they take part of that covenant...
I have not. But I've read passages here and there as they were relevant.
That is classical Christian belief, yeah?
That is classical Christian belief, yeah?
There is nothing in that passage that points to Jesus.
Jeremiah did not describe a covenant with new content, but a covenant with the...
I don't believe you have even read the New Testament.
Does the Bible tell God took human form? Please show the scripture where that is said?
Please show the scripture in the Bible that tells God became human?
Tanakh has this promise:
Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the...
