Apparently, those who call things holy without investigating are those who fall into a trap/pit/ditch. (Proverbs 20:25) As for eating and drinking, the Word suggests a moderation in all things (Ecc 3:1-8). It is probably good that you do not procreate. Fewer holier than thou people, as in...
My brother, it's entirely up to you.
There was a reason Jesus didn't 'soft soap' the Pharisees of his day. They used scriptures too. Isn't that the reason he exposed them for what they were. Their wickedness had negative effects on good hearted eople - the very ones Jesus' attention was more...
It is what I already KNOW I will find, remembering the last time I was there, and any anything MORE than that is just too much for me to deal with right now.
There is a time for everything and now is not the time.
Ecclesiastes3:1-8 comes to mind.
I believe I will know when the time is right...
The list only went over what you felt but you didn’t provide any factual knowledge proving that Gid is wicked and bloodthirsty. If there is more to show that is actually proof of your claims then present it as being fact not just your take.
Where is your proof that it’s believed by all the...
you misunderstand the verse. It is talking about plants -- that's why it says "season". Deep down we know that the cacao beans will return! Why must you insist on vanilla beans?
The presence of a Messiah or hell and sometimes both, in even faiths that have nothing to do with the Bible show that without fully realizing it, people know that there is a Savior and a hell.
Ecclesiastes3:1-8, says
Some people think these words were written decades ago for a song by the...
Where do you get that the Tree of Knowledge represents a connection between the laws set by God and Satan?
Where scripture says that?
The fruit of Tree of Knowledge was necessary for Eve and Adam to take if they were to get out the stagnation of limbo in which they would be damned by remaining...
Many prominent graves in Israel, hundreds of thousands of them, line the Mount of Olives, for the Jewish people want to be close to Messiah when He appears and He resurrects. The adjacent mountain is Mount Moriah, where Jesus was crucified then arose. And in Acts, we see He will descend from...
All the Holy books of all Faiths have prophecies that are fulfilled. Prophecy appears to come and be written in a timeless vision. Thus some is applicable to precise events, some cover multipul events and some are yet to unfold and will find support in other God given Faiths.
Not sure what wou...
@Sunstone Two very good answers already from @KAT-KAT and @Left Coast both of which I agree with.
Coast is right about the predominant value in the biblical texts being placed upon the pursuit and cultivation of a "wise" state of mind. Indeed, there is an entire genre in the Bible - amounting...
There is a well known passage from the Hebrew Bible book Ecclesiastes attributable to King Solomon that reads:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A...
I am reminded of Ecclesiastes3:1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build...
A man may call himself a fence post, that doesn't make him one. A man may call himself a Christian, that doesn't make him one.
Christ said their were two paths, one broad, for many to take, that leads to disaster, one narrow and difficult, that leads to salvation
This not only applies to the...
Thank you for sharing your Christian perspective and providing contrasting narratives between Christianity and Islam, Jesus and Muhammad. I appreciate you are sincere in your faith and have avoided making your statement a personal attack on Muslims as individuals. Although you didn't...
