I'm sorry if this is an ignorant question, but,
Who is the speaker in these quotes? Are these authored by human? Spiritual? Male? Stone? Destroyer?
Thank you,
Isaiah 55:11 11so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Zechariah1:3 3Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Return to me,' declares the LORD Almighty...
Yes, to many Christians. However, I found two Jewish sites that say that God does not expect perfection. The first one also talks about the Jewish view of hell being similar to the Catholic purgatory. A point that was discussed a few pages ago. From the article: Does Judaism Believe in Heaven...
I try to avoid letting my heart or my emotions guide my understanding of the Lord. Rather, I try to listen to the Lord's word; allowing the Holy Spirit to let my conscience guide my understanding of The Lord.
And my understanding tells me that the souls who are saved will not be judged but will...
When? I don't know. It has to do with the end (1 Peter 4:7) so it is not when they die. It is when they are in a position to choose life or death. That would be the resurrection. That is the only time all human souls are present together.
We must return to him, yes.
Isaiah 44:22 I have...
I cannot agree that there is more than one way to go. Two different people cannot be "the way". But I agree with the scripture you quote John 12:19
God cannot be The Way. The reason being is "the way" is the spiritual journey TO God.
These scriptures indicate it is a going toward God...
how can a god be omniscient, but at the same time choose not to be omniscient? either he knows everything, or he does not. there is no semi-omniscient. its an absolute. either you are or you are not.
if god already knows everything that will happen, he can not un-know some things.
edit...
but God is very open with us, he has told us that if we turn to do good, he will forgive us. Its not like he keeps that a secret.
Jeremiah 26:2 all the words that I will command you to speak to them. Do not take away a word. 3 Perhaps they will listen and return, each one from his bad way...
I disagree. If there were other ways back to God then why did Jesus have to die on the Cross? Jesus Himself states in many places that He is the only way..."the door"; "the gate"....such as in Acts 4:12 - "There is salvation in no one else"...(however, I realize you're Jewish)...God will sort...
Sure there is. All we have to do is sincerely search for God with our heart, soul and mind. No mediator required, for just as the 10 commandments states: You shall have no other gods BEFORE me. God is near to all who call Him with sincerity.. when we turn to Him, He turns to us, its as simple...
Wonderful. I agree with all the points, well apart from maybe point 3. There are some other beliefs I would have to add in. And point 8 is only through Christ for me. Otherwise, great job.
I'm loving this idea, I really am. Unity is what we need in a world filled with so much division.
To reunite the Abrahamic Faiths, a few basic things must be recognized.
1. We ALL worship the one and only God
2. We ALL have faith in God and that His promises/prophecies will be fulfilled(for many have yet to be fulfilled)
3. We ALL try and do our best to fulfill what God ONLY requires of...
Hello eselam!
I'm not sure exactly what your looking for, but I'll offer my thoughts anyways. To reunite the Abrahamic Faiths, a few basic things must be recognized.
1. We ALL worship the one and only God
2. We ALL have faith in God and that His promises/prophecies will be fulfilled(for many...
