The Torah of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
If your Torah had not been my delight, I should have perished in my affliction.
I will never forget your precepts; for with them you...

Hi GC nice to meet you and thanks for joining us. I know this was for another member but I thought to add some comments that might be helpful as I have studied this topic in a lot of detail from the Old testament scriptures. You are referring to the death penalty under the civil laws of Israel...
Depends on which world you mean.
(John 8:23, 24) 23 [Jesus] went on to say to them: “You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above. You are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 That is why I said to you: You will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am the one...
What's not true? This?
As far as I can tell, it is true.
You quoted the WT, that verifies the statement is correct.
Homosexuality is definitely condemned in the Bible as something that will prevent individuals from gaining God’s approval. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10)...
While both homosexuality and...
fullness of truth?
The Bible does claim to hold the fullness of truth, about the most important things in life... 1) about God, 2) about his purpose for mankind and the earth, 3) about man's overall happiness and wellbeing, and future... (Isaiah 48:17, 18; John 17:3, 17; Ephesians4:13; 2...
Good point Deeje.
@Jollybear I think 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 directly makes clear that we must know God.

Christianity supplies us with the most emphatic answer to your questions, other religions not so much. The bible states exactly how we can know and believe in God. Are you interested in discussing the answers to your questions? If so I will open up with a few scriptures.
Knowing Christ...
Which is fine until you get people with conflicting claims on what god told them...
Thus 100,00+ denominations of Christianity
Why does this sound like you making excuses for your gods incompetence?
Do not get me wrong, I understand that that is not your intention.
However, that is how it...
Yes, you are right. Anyone can make the Bible at least appear to say whatever they want and as you have pointed out there are so many denominations which have different perspectives. Along with the,various pseudo-Christian groups and cults which give the scriptures their own slant. I admit that...
Shalom KBC, thank you again for your explanations. I think we may be looking at Elohim's plan in some what a similar fashion. To plainly explain it, Elohim created carnal man (Adam) to be against Him (sold into the slavery to commit sin by creating him/us FLESH-Romans 7:14), for the FLESH...
Because God intended that we would be formed in the image of himself and his son and this image cannot be created instantly. We as gods had to learn why we should exist like them and only by being able to see the effects of our decisions could we make an honest free will choice to do what is...
It's a flawed concept which has been invented to accommodate pagans beliefs. Allah didn't tell us to worship Jesus or the holy Spirit. He want us to worship him alone. You claim they are forms or parts of God but neither God nor Jesus claimed so.
Yeah, but he didn't ask people to worship...
The Trinity doctrine does not teach people to worship anyone but Allah. The Trinity doctrine teaches that Allah exists as three persons, therefore to to worship any of these persons is to worship Him.
Instead of persons, I prefer to call them forms in which Allah has revealed Himself.
No, the...
Do you understand God's Salvation? Are you absolutely sure of your salvation? Do you know what a clear gospel message is for today? Do you know what are the key essentials for a clear gospel message? Why are there so many ways of salvation present today? Have you ever been confused on which is...

I've been looking long and hard and so far I have not found such.
Mostly what I find are knee-jerk reactionaries who flip their lid at the slightest notion that I am unconventional.
I have yet to meet anyone who I can genuinely say is a person who is meek and lowly of heart and who hungers...
