For example it is against what is said in the Bible. But, it is also not reasonable.
What judgment I gave to them?
I think it was against what Jesus taught.
I think it is also wrong to judge in a way that is against rules in the Bible.
I don't think I have judged anyone.
There is no problem...
I think that the TaNaKh can be both historical and yet still be symbolic. (God has that creative ability).
Like the sacrificing of lambs… both historical as well as symbolic.
That being said, there are parts that can be symbolic. Parables certainly are symbolic to spiritual truths.
That some parables can be found in the Bible is not a good argument that everything in the Bible ought to be read as a parable.
Generally I find that if the Biblical intends for the passage to be read symbolically, they make it know in the context of the passage. Absent such context, I think it...
Jesus said much symbolically and he said many parables. Because of that it is logical that the old testament is also to be interpreted symbolically. Because Jesus was a jew. He got inspiration from the old testament

Ok so if you claim to follow Gods Word and not man-made teachings and traditions and your not a hypocrite like in the scripture you posted brother, then perhaps you can tell me where it says in the bible that Gods 4th commandment has now been abolished and we are now commanded to keep Sunday as...
I follow God's word.
But it's evidence that you follow mans teaching and doctrines in the churches..
When you offer bible studies which is nothing more than mans teaching and doctrines in the churches.
You know, The Lord Jesus Christ condemns mans teaching and which you follow
Matthew 15:7-9...
She has never read the Bible in any meaningful sense. She is a culture Christian. She believe in Jesus and love your neighbor and Heaven. And that you get there if you believe in this manner.
Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Agreed! What you do...
True, what means more to Jesus - what one claims to believe, or what we prove by one's actions.
To me, what Jesus said what to do to remember him is: what one does at the anniversary time of Luke 22:19 that counts.
Also, Jesus said MANY would come in his name but prove false - Matt. 7:21-23...
Anyone can call himself a "Christian", just as someone who was taken by their parents to be baptized in a Catholic church can say that they are "baptized"... That Catholic baptism does not make anyone a Christian, much less because someone says he is a Christian, he is known by Christ as a real...
I don't claim to be a Christian when asked if I am one but, I answer with where my faith is. Others may have different reasons. This is my reason:
"It's better to be called a Christian then to call yourself one". A Christian is a follower of Christ, a disciple. If you want to see what Jesus...
"It's better to be called a Christian then to call yourself one". Because, a Christian is a follower of Christ, a disciple. If you want to see what Jesus requires of one to be a disciple of His, look up these scriptures. Luke6:46-49, Luke 14:26, 27 & 33, John 8:31-34, John 13:34 & 35, John...
Yes, those who do the will of God are the children of God, taught Jesus.
I'm quite sure there were many scientific truths Jesus, as a human being who did not know everything according to his own words, was unaware of. Being the Son of God, did not mean he had magical knowledge of modern...
A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. Did Jesus believe that human beings evolved from lower species?
Matt. 19:4 In reply he said: “Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female 5 and said: ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his...
Jesus is our Lord, the one whom we obey.
Luke6:46 Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
Matt 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
It is true imo that the wine was not His blood, it is a symbol of His blood just as...
Okay, that's the one I thought it was. Yes, I did. I was sincere, invested and fervent. Sadly, some denominations, or maybe it's specific churches, don't grow good fruit. That's a liability.
