As posted earlier, I do not use scripture to condemn you. According to the scriptures, we are already condemned by going against the scriptures that are in disagreement with us (see John 3:36; Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:3-4). If you feel condemned by the scriptures shared with you...
Your response here...
Well that is not true. Your question was answered in the very post you were quoting from. If you bothered to read what was posted to you in the scriptures you would know this. Here let me re-post it again for you here.
Hope this is helpful. You are better off reading what...
Scripture is defined in 2 Timothy 3:16 as being inspired by God or God breathed through men. That is God gives His Word to men to give to the world in spoken and written form. That is the bibles definition of what sin is. The new testament scriptures teach that Jesus is God and Gods son and our...
Hello Pearl,
My Bishop says ‘God doesn't care about our sins!’. Yes, I have heard modern day Catholic leaders claim that they do not know of anyone in hell. Even though the Book of Jude tells us Korah is burning in hell. Catholic Anathema uses Judas burning in hell as a warning to Christians...
Luke 18:9 The Pharisee and the tax collector.
"Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, 'O God, I thank [eucharisteo] you that I am not like the rest of...
Christianity was first established in Antioch to Paul & Simon the stumbling stone's (peter's) misunderstandings/Ministry (Acts 11:25-26).
James the Just, Head of the Church of Jerusalem, and leader of the Ebionites (Poor Ones - Zechariah 11:11) stood against Paul directly, and we can see this...
2 Samuel 23:3
The God of Israel spoke; of me the Rock of Israel said, He that rules over men in justice, that rules in the fear of God, Is like the morning light at sunrise on a cloudless morning,...
Hello Musing,
God describes a ‘morning star’ as a ruler over men on earth. In fact, even...
2) no explicit connection between Jesus and Michael... which is odd if its so important
The title Arch (Chief) Angel (Messenger) and Jesus being God's spokesman would seem to show some connection.
Who do you think "The Angel of the Lord" was in the burning bush account...
Hmmm let's look at JudeJude
Chapter 1
1Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write...
Yeshua challenged the Sanhedrin for murdering the prophets as atoning sacrifices in Matthew 23:27-38, Mark 7:1-13, and the Parable of the Wicked Husbandman (Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, and Luke 20:9-19).
Thus Christianity following the Pharisaic doctrine, "that the death of the righteous...
Very good.
Revelation uses symbols and signs to tell us things. Not all things are therefore literal:
Rotherham Translation: Rev 1:1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to point out unto his servants the things which must needs come to pass with speed,—and he shewed them by...
Presently, Satan seeks to harm mankind -so it is best to go about one's business just as it is wise to avoid people who seek trouble or harm.
That is not to say we ought to have anything against Satan -but rather let God deal with him (and the other sinning angels).
Jude 1:8Likewise also these...
Everyone and everything is essentially divine and holy -though not everyone acts correctly and certain things are inappropriate at various times for various reasons.
A lack of respect for ourselves, others and all things makes all things less than they could be, and respect allows people and...
3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4For there are certain men crept in unawares (Perhaps a false apostle?)...
As I said, feel free to draw upon other references if they help.
If you want to totally shift the focus of our discussion, lets finish getting clarity on the parables first.
You are pretty much there now, at least it seems.
Why cut and run now when you are so close to understanding me?
If...
He was throwing them a bone. It doesn't make any sense for Lot to put his daughters in a situation that he'd protect strangers from, even strangers as distinguished as the ones he had under his roof. God chastises Jerusalem in Ezekiel for neglecting her own countrymen to have dealings with...
Animalisation
Have You Never Noticed The Animals?
As we are now aware, in symbolism a material or physical object is used as a sign to represent the immaterial or spiritual universe. Whether you realise it or not symbolism is also used in everyday life. If you will study your dictionaries...
