    Why do Christians follow the old testament?

    Hi Metis. The rules in the Hebrew Scriptures still do apply. Who told you that they no longer apply? The sacrificial laws have been fulfilled by the Messiah, but the rest of the laws, such as the seventh day Sabbath and the dietary laws still apply.

    Selfless and Selfish

    Really good thread Fool. I think the Bible way is actually one where we have to be a bit selfish and being a little bit selfish is healthy. We seek wisdom in order to better ourselves and to make it to the Kingdom. Proverbs 9:12 says £If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou...

    Is Yahweh a narcissist?

    Hi Pope. Does Matthew 5, containing the attributes of the son of Yahweh (who had his qualities), sound like narcissism to you? "3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they...

    Lusting after him or her in your heart

    Hi. I'm new here. My first post I wanted to discuss the subject of something that seems taboo to talk about : - pornography. The Messiah constantly referred to the generation he was apart of as an 'adulterous generation' but I would venture to say that the generation we are living in is far...
