We can always look in the Bible:
Stoning (Exodus 17:4; Luke 20:6; John 10:31; Acts 14:5; 13:9; Acts 7:58)
Hanging (Numbers 25:4; 2 Samuel 21:6,9)
Burning (Genesis 38:24; Leviticus 21:9)
Death by the sword or spear (Exodus 19:13; 32:27; Numbers 25:7; 1 Kings 2:25,34; 2 Chronicles 21:4)...
That's not what Torah is.
Quoting the text is not interpretation.
How many times in world history has the majority been wrong? Your claim above is "flat-earth" thinking.
It is inconsistent to pick and choose which verses are true or false, apparently by whim.
If you apply that same...
I think we talked about words in previous discussion, do we need to talk about it again?
Sword
Revelation 19:15
"Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God...
To understand this part of the prophecy, we should remember that in challenging Almighty God’s sovereignty, Satan cast doubt on the loyalty of all of God’s servants in heaven and on earth. (Job 1:9-11; 2:3-5) Jesus, by remaining faithful to death, provided the perfect answer to Satan’s...
When you see people doing that a lot... "I... Not like some..." You know it's not about evidence or rational. ;)
Proverbs27:2; Luke 18:11; 2 Corinthians 10:18
We are also aware of the truthfulness of the statements found at Proverbs 14:12, and Proverbs 30:12
Anyway, it's good that you try...
What is your source for this statement?
I find just the opposite; the NASB 1995 at Deuteronomy 32:5 says:
“They have acted corruptly toward Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation.”
That’s due to Free Will, nothing else. He doesn’t...
"like chewing leather" :tearsofjoy:
It's just that people tend to get a bit confused about what love is.
You refered to 1 Corinthians 13, earlier.
[Love] does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. (1 Corinthians 13:6)
Examples:
Lessons:
True love, does not hold back...
Would you rather have been a robot, with no choices, or are you glad to be able to make choices, even those that might displease Jehovah?
Also, what does God want? Mindless robot creatures, programmed to always do what’s right, or those who, by choice, fight against their inclinations, because...
Jesus said God's word is truth, which one can know, and one must know the father and son, in order to gain everlasting life.
(John 8:31-32) 31 . . .“If you remain in my word, you are really my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
(John 17:3) This means...
If you read 1 Corinthians 15:28 you will read it is Not Atheists but Jesus handing back God's Kingdom being returned to his God according to 1 Corinthians 15:24.
By that time mankind will have reached the original human perfection that Adam had before his downfall.
Those living at that time...
Satan challenges God that we humans (includes Job) would Not worship Him under adverse conditions.
For God to just Bully Satan out of the way would only show that Satan could be right.
Only with the passing of time would show if under adverse conditions who was right God or Satan.
Both Job and...
I thought so due to lack of understanding, everything boils down to that, only when realising our own lack of wisdom can wisdom fill us.
To empty the cup of past "knowledge" and refill it with wisdom, that takes a lot of effort until the cup has been emptied:)
Why would you think so?
IMO, from what I understand of the Bible’s descriptions, He’s a person… just more powerful & wise & loving. And we are ‘made in His image’: our sense of justice and concern for others, governed by our innate conscience, is similar to His.
And just as a disobedient...
@Seeker of White Light a few scriptures came to mind.
Not everyone appreciates the wisdom of these texts, but millions have experienced their superior value.
(Proverbs27:6) . . .The wounds inflicted by a friend are faithful, But an enemy’s kisses are plentiful.
Some people prefer kisses from...
I do believe this verse to be extolling the virtues of friendship, over that of blood relatives. Not that the latter has no merit or significance, but rather that friends are chosen as opposed to siblings, and this choice is typically based on pragmatic reasons and that of affinity (pretentions...
Well, according to my studies, the story of Job is very important because it was not just Job whose faith was tested out here....but by extension it includes all of us.
Job 1:8-12....
" And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a...
