    It means that we should get rid of whatever is causing the sin. If it's a sinful, lustful picture lying around, burn it. Evil movies? Trash them. Porn? Turn on safe search. Do what you can to prevent the sin from happening. That's what he meant. Well, it was more of a personal opinion, but I...

    I didn't know that fully until now. Thanks

    Is it necessary to be baptized as an adult, if you were baptized as a baby?

    Found this recently, "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body" (1 Corinthians 12:13). The body is Christ's body of course.

    Hyperboles, such as tearing one's eye out, are not meant to be taken literally. Christ used a hyperbole with a specific lesson in it: If one thing causes you to do evil, cut it off (as in, get rid of it at any cost). Blind people can still lust after all. According to the bible, it is wrong to...

    Lot

    Well yes, I am a christian. But I'm a biblical, Torah observant one at least. True. But if he was righteous, then his behavior doesn't mean that he wasn't righteous, but that his righteousness was deteriorating over time (I have some personal experience with this I admit to my shame). Ezekiel...

    Lot

    Genesis 19:9 They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge." I assumed that a judge was someone righteous. Why would he be judging people? Because they were unrighteous and he was righteous is what I think. Also, God...

    Lot

    Something I plan to research.

    Lot

    I think it's the complete turning from righteousness that makes a righteous person unrighteous. As in, one or fifty sins doesn't make one unrighteous unless they don't ever repent. But I digress.

    Lot

    Thank you. I was thinking that he was sinning as well. Thank you as well. I'm not criticizing the story; I chit chat with atheists and this topic came up. So I wondered if Jews had any additional information about it.

    Lot

    Well, I'm in the process of learning Hebrew (I've got a primer and my notebook right next to me right now), but I can't read it yet. I only know a couple words in hebrew (שלום, the name of the Lord, and אח). I used Google translator and got, "Lot saw were the people of Sodom Tofino scheme...

    Lot

    Lot was considered a righteous person, but produced an action that was seen as evil in Judges 19-20. So I've come to a conclusion that he was about to sin to protect the visitors. But why would he resort to that? Is there some reason that he would do that? Some custom to protect visitors no...

    Lot

    How do Jews interpret Genesis 19:1-11, the story of Lot offering his daughters up to rapists?

    Is it necessary to be baptized as an adult, if you were baptized as a baby?

    Baptism with water (done by human hands) is only symbolic of an internal spiritual reality. I was baptized when I was seven (by human hands) but it meant nothing. I grew up over the years knowing that I was going against God's commands without caring. What did that baptism do? Nothing. I wasn't...

    Is Jesus the Son of God?

    Oh hey I didn't see this. You're welcome. It's just knowledge I gained by the will of God I take no credit. I have insufficient knowledge for this, but I can point you to a biblical ministries that I listen to to increase my knowledge. Their website is here, 119 Ministries And this is their...

    Is Jesus the Son of God?

    The "Christian" God and the "Jewish" God are one and the same. There is no "trinity" as far as I understand the NT, but that's a subject of some debate for another time. Just read what I posted as if there is no "trinity" because I don't believe in a "trinity", but that God is one, as the...

    Is Jesus the Son of God?

    God has spoken with His mouth, giving instructions or commands to all creation. He said in the beginning, "Let there be light," and there was light (Genesis 1:3). He spoke to the waters in Genesis 1:6, and what happened? They obeyed, doing what He said. "By Yehowah's Word, the heavens were...

    Is Jesus the Son of God?

    Jesus/Yeshua is the Word of God given a flesh form, so the Words that come from the mouth of God is what Jesus/Yeshua is. God doesn't need a consort to have a child either.
