    WHAT IS PAUL TEACHING?

    You point to Romans chapter 2:13. Here Paul rightfully says: “For not the hearers of the law are justified before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Paul is saying, that some people merely were ‘pretending’ to know the law – but how could they know the law, if they did not keep...

    What gives your 'God' the right to damn? What condones burning for eternity?

    The Christian God is not a God of condemnation, but of compassion and mercy. He is our Creator, and thus, we were born to live for and worship him. However, everything went wrong in the Garden of Eden, and because Adam sinned, he brought sin to all men. This does not mean that God is unfair...

    Do you believe in your Scriptures or do you doubt and research their contents?

    In the story of Thomas and the risen Christ (John 20), Thomas, one of Jesus 12 elect, doubts when the other 11 disciples tell him that they have seen the Lord. He says that he will not believe them unless he actually sees his wounds and touches them. This tells us that Thomas did not just...

    Societal peace: which religious scripture is best suited for this purpose?

    Dyanaprajna2011, It seems you’re suggesting that people have no worth within Christianity, and yet the most important message of the gospel is that God loved us so much, and saw so much value in us, that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Christ showed us that it is impossible...

    Hi Christians, I got a question for you.

    Hi Sushannah, I’d like to say in advance, that God has not rejected the jewish people, but has an everlasting love for the them. ”I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness” (Jeremiah 31:3). But as you know from the Tanakh, the Jewish...

    Time has been fulfilled, No judgments coming

    Are you suggesting that the Jesus did not speak of a coming judgment? The truth is, he even spoke of Himself as the righteous judge of the world, being both compassionate and fair. The mentioned time that has been fulfilled, of course, is the waiting on the Messiah, who is now being revealed to...

    Why did Christ have to live a perfect life for justification??

    Hi TACRN01, I suggest that Christ had to be fully righteous, and live a perfectly acceptable life, because God is indeed holy and righteous. The reason that God sent the law to the Israelites was no so that they could fulfill the law themselves, but rather so that they would come to realize...

    Jesus believers, answer this question please.

    Hi dantech, What you have to understand is that the New Testament totally agrees with the Tanakh (what I would call the Old Testament). The last book of NT, the Book of Revelation, also speaks of a kingdom that is fully peaceful, and has true shalom. It does not disagree with Isaiah. But it...

    Does God give us unconditional love?

    The verse that comes to mind is Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us"

    Why Jesus loves the Jewish people: the story of Jacob

    “I have loved you,” says the Lord (Malachi 1:2). The Jacob of the bible was a man who was almost impossible to rule. He was extremely self-willed, and had even deceived his own father and his brother, Esau, in an attempt to steal his blessing. He could not seem to grasp the fact, that God...

    Is the Bible still valuable even if none of it is true?

    You suggest that the bible is a mere collection of books, and that there is nothing in any of these books that list all the books, and declares that they are true. 2. Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in...

    Is the Bible still valuable even if none of it is true?

    As a Christian, my answer would be no. The bible claims to be true, and so, if it wasn't true, I don't think that it would have much value at all. In the same way, if I were to claim that Christ was a great religious teacher, and nothing more, it would have no value, seeing that he himself...

    Making Spiritual Progress: How (Almost) All Religious Paths Are Worthless

    You know, I quite agree on you posting. As a Christian, it’s my experience that one can only grow by the grace of God – that is to say, we can’t do much on our own. Let’s imagine that a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Jew and a Christian were on a long journey – let’s...
