    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    Yep Gods Word is amazing but it is hidden from those who do not believe it. For me personally I would disagree. The new testament comes from the old testament scriptures. Together they are the Word of God. According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    Funny, that, hey? My point is that we can safely ignore the NT if we want to understand the God of the Jewish nation. Let me give you a well-known example of a contrived "prophecy", the virgin birth of Jesus in Matthew and Luke, based on Isaiah 7:14. The word in the Tanakh is ʿalmâ, young...

    Who Or What Is Israel?

    I don't know if everyone's aware of this or not but Amos lays out the end of Israel as a people forever. It's interesting to note that Jesus tried to warn the Jews that Amos 8 was coming to pass when he said "ye know summer is nigh". Also interesting to note is that part of Amos 8's...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    Okay. Let's see what you have. That is your first example? It should have been your best. That says nothing about the Bible. It appears that you know nothing about the Bible. That does not refer to the Bible or even the Pentateuch at all. Another failure. And another. Wow! Every...

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    Oh yes the biblical scriptures do claim repeatedly to be the word(s) of God. Numerous times the phrases, “word of the Lord” or “ word of God” are used in reference to information, commands, laws given by God to humans. Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of...

    Jesus Mythicism

    In the dating of Mark is the further observation that the author gets his trial scene from the trial of Jesus son of Ananias / Ananus in Josephus' Jewish Wars, Bk 6 Ch. 5.3. I understand the observation was first made by theologian Ted Weeden jr, together with the list, but here's a >link< to...

    Jesus Mythicism

    From your post referencing scholars that the baptism scene and the crucifixion scene actually took place. That requires a literal reading. Every line of the crucifixion scene comes from Psalm 22 and Amos 8, the unknown author of Mark copied lines from the Septuagint and the other gospel writers...

    There is NO Historical Evidence for Jesus

    Your welcome, but there is more plagiarism, almost all of Mark comes from the Septuagint, line for line rewritten to form a new story to reflect the times in which it was written. The entire crucifixion scene comes from Amos 8 and Psalm 22, that is just one example.

    Pride

    I'm sorry that I can't offer any knowledge of Greek to add to this conversation, but I do wonder whether the verse that immediately follows Proverbs 16:18 can provide some context? The Hebrew word translated as "the haughty" (or "the proud") is גאים which comes from the root word of גאה in the...

    Pride

    I have been thinking about teh verse from Proverbs (16:18) which is often translated as "Pride goes before destruction" or something to that effect. The Hebrew is לִפְנֵי־שֶׁ֥בֶר גָּא֑וֹן Lifnei (in front of, in the face of, before) Shever (the breaking of, the destruction of) Ga'on The third...

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    Interesting. Is it correct though. Let's see how you respond to the fact that the beast is actually political.

    Can you Unravel the Mystery?

    GINOLJC, to all. first thanks for the mention. second in, Revelation 17:3 "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." notice here that the beast have seven heads, and...

    The testimony of the NT writers

    The entire crucifixion scene comes from Psalm 22 and Amos 8. The whole point is that our dying and rising god had to be crucified by the same means that the people of Israel suffered under Roman occupation. You should be embarrassed for not understanding this theology.

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Well that is not truthful sadly. Your question was answered with evidence disagreeing with your words that are not Gods' Word as provided from a number of Hebrew Dictionaries shown below and linked online Hebrew text analysis resources also linked in the post after this one. So it is definitely...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    You need to buy yourself a Hebrew Greek Dictionary as well as a Lexicon and Interlinear and google up on how to use them. Your question here on the Hebrew words for rest (H7673) and Sabbath (H7676) that comes from the former have already been answered in post # 1689 linked and in post # 2047...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    I say you are not fully correct here. You are referring to the JEWISH SABBATH. The romans had they’d own day of rest and worship of their sun God, Sol. Therefore it is perfectly valid to use the word ‘Sabbath’ for ANY DAY classed as a day of rest and worship but obviously such a day of rest and...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Let's not forget Seventh Day Adventists and Seventh Day Baptists...both these denominations worship the Sabbath on Saturday as commanded in Exodus 20. We also believe in the modern relevance and ongoing validity of the Sabbath commandment based on the definition of the saints who will be saved...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Hello Soapy, The Hebrew and Greek noun of H7676 and G4521 shabbath of Gods 4th commandment does not mean rest. It is a noun that is descriptive or a name applied to "the seventh day of the week". The word that it comes from though is שָׁבַת (shâbath | H7673) shabath (note one b instead of 2...

    Ask About Islam

    Is there possibly something wrong with the fasting? Sounds like it is not being done correctly. Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? And...
