    Jealous God?

    :rainbow1: According to Biblical usage, “jealousy” may be a positive or a negative quality or emotion. (Pr 14:30; Zec 1:14) The Hebrew noun qin·’ah′ variously means “insistence on exclusive devotion; toleration of no rivalry; zeal; ardor; jealousy [righteous or sinful]; envying.” The Greek...

    What is the biggest/most negating contradiction in the Bible?

    The Bible does tell us that we should both love Jehovah (Luke 10:27) and fear him. (1 Pet. 2:17; Prov. 1:7; 2:1-5; 16:6) Wholesome fear of God will make us very careful to avoid incurring his displeasure. Our love for Jehovah will move us to want to do the things that are pleasing to him, to...

    Resurrection of the Dead

    Seems as though this is something else that we agree on. There are three words in Hebrew and Greek that have been translated hell in English Bibles. The first two, Hebrew she'ohl and Greek hai'des carry the meaning of a dark place of confinement and simply refer to the common grave of all...

    Was Jesus gay?

    No, Jesus was not God...He was God's son. Never does the Bible say that Jesus was the God. He is referred to as a god, but so are the pagan gods and some powerful men. VEW

    Resurrection of the Dead

    Hi Katzpur....No, I wasn't aware of our common ground...Thanks for sharing that with me...I have talked with LDS on a few occasions, but don't actually know a lot about what they believe...I have a book explaining the beliefs of several different religions....but LDS is not one of them. With...

    Was Jesus gay?

    Sorry Penguin, I have to disagree with you.... Rom. 1:24-27:(Which was completed by Paul in 56CE. only about 23 years after Jesus death) Too keep in mind that Jesus Mother and Brothers were still alive at this time.) says" "God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to...

    Science explaining God

    Good observations mackenziecarr..... Regarding the origin of the raw material of which the universe is made, (like you say) scientists have learned that matter is a concentrated form of energy. This is demonstrated with the explosion of nuclear weapons. Astrophysicist Josip Kleczek states...

    how does a YEC explain trees that are 50,000 years old.

    I'm assuming that the YEC stands for Young Earth....those who claim that the Bible says that the earth is only about 600 years old........... But does the Bible say that all physical creation was accomplished in just six days sometime within the past 6,000 to 10,000 years? Consider closely...

    ?Lesbianism?

    Where does it specifically state in scripture that a woman cannot lay with another woman as she does a man? Romans 1:24-27 "God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them...God gave them up to disgraceful sexual...

    Is the Trinity significant?

    What you say makes a lot of Scriptural sense. A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he...

    Is the Trinity significant?

    Curtisloew....I have never seen a person that has not previously been indoctrinated with the Trinity, who reads the Bible come up with any such idea. Even the New Catholic Encyclopedia admits that this doctrine was not taught by Jesus and his disciples. It says: " "The formulation ‘one...

    Was Jesus gay?

    It never ceases to amaze me, the length that people will go to make Jesus conform to their way of thinking....The Bible is clear on Jesus stance on homosexuality....If someone doesn't want to conform their lives to what Jesus tells us, no one is trying ot force them to do so....Then why try so...

    Resurrection

    HI TrebuchetMS.... EASTER—is said (by Christendom) to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. But what did Jesus have to say about commemorating his resurrection? Did the apostles command us to celebrate it? Is the celebration of Easter a God-given command or a man-made tradition? You can...

    Resurrection of the Dead

    You know! We are all free to choose what we will believe. Personally, I choose to believe what the Bible teaches. If you are saying that your above post is supported by Holy Scripture, I would be interested in how you came to this conclusion....VEW
