    The shaky road of Biblical literalism

    Quite often I see the things in the Hebrew Bible presented as 100% literal word for word accounts of events that actually happened / existed ~ The Garden of Eden and the serpent ~ The flood and the ark ~ The firmament etc Now, I personally believe the Bible is " God's word "...

    Sola Scriptura - heresy against God or man's institution?

    Oh yes we keep hearing about the Sola Scriptura heresy all the time like little bombs in conversation. This is a division of thought in many many religions but the phrase "Sola Scriptura" directly reminds the Christian-Lutheran position and the opposing institutionalised elders. The irony is...

    Racism and the facts, was Jesus black?

    1. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his slave. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his slave. (Genesis 9, synodical translation)...

    Getting stoned!!#$&*. Where does it come from?

    Stoning to death as a punishment occurs in the Tanakh and is prescribed even for people who try to convert people away from YHWH, and then when a bride is not a virgin at the time of marriage, and maybe we could say "etc". Well, the Qur'an doesn't have any stoning or Rajm in it whatsoever...

    Answering Tzarah's Question about Hebrew text of Yoel 4:1

    This is a carry over from another thread where the question was asked by @Tzarah about a) the difference between the Hebrew text and the KJV bible and b) how a Torath Mosheh Jew who reads Hebrew reads the Hebrew text. The video below was created to answer both of these questions. Note: The...

    The End Time Prophecy in Revelation 16:12 has been Fulfilled

    One of the End Time prophecies in the book of Revelation states that in the last days the Euphrates river would dry up and eastern military forces would begin to use the river as a pathway/location for military related operations. REVELATION 16:12 "12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial...

    What is the Messiah?

    To those who believe in the Bible: What is the Messiah? God or a created being? And why? And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, too small to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you will come forth to me, who shall be ruler over Israel; and his origins are from the prehistoric times, from the days of...

    Sunlight is not Daylight

    I believe that the Bible does not contradict itself, and when we read that light was created before the sun, then the only logical explanation is that sunlight is not daylight.

    Is God's Spirit Oxygen?

    We need oxygen to live but we also need oxygen to produce sound. And this is interesting. Isn't it possible that the oxygen that surrounds us all is God's spirit in other words the Holy Spirit? In the bible it is written that God created the world through the Word, so he created through Sound...

    How do we know the Bible was not written by demons?

    How do we know the Bible was not written by demons? I know I know, because they don’t exist. But suppose if you believed in demons and believed that demons can impersonate the dead. Demons could have stolen Lazuras body and impersonated him, and the same for Jesus, or Jesus Himself could even...

    Muslims and Chrs./Jews swapped role in stoning to death.

    I don't get how ? Qur'an does not mention stoning to death as any capital punishment for any offense , while Bible implied it for a dozen of times . Sectarian Muslims endorse it in case of adultery/fornication while Christians/Jews do not do that . Muslims follow Bible and Christians/Jews follow...

    ALLAH is GOD in Arabic Bible

    Was reading Arabic Bible - Genesis (تكوين) . The first verse shocks me when I found the name of GOD is written ALLAH (الله) . In the whole chapter there were 31 verses and the name of الله also mentioned 31 times. Checked randomly the chapters from NT and found the same . Here is some...

    Has Anyone Actually Read The Bible?

    Every time I get to discussing religion with Christians, I find that they can quote some memorized scriptures that prove whatever point they want to make. When I offer a rebuttal scripture that contradicts theirs, they'll decide that my scripture is a parable but theirs is literal or some other...

    Are there Bible proofs that Proselytism is wrong?

    Are there Bible proofs that Proselytism is wrong? First of all what is the difference between Evangelizing vs Proselytizing? IMO (very short): 1) Evangelizing is being enthusiastic about something and sharing it with others, who eagerly want to hear 2) Proselytizing is evangelizing, but...

    How old is man?

    According to "science" man is over 190,000 years old, but according to the Bible man is only about 6,000 years old. Now who is right? If science is right, why does the Bible only tell a story about 6,000 years old? What happened in the other 184,000 years? Were Adam and Eve really the first...

    Why doesn't the Tanakh say that God is only one person?

    Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses and those who live the Jewish faith claim that but I cannot read in the Tanakh that God is only one.

    Does the Holy Spirit have blood?

    Acts 20:28 So watch out for yourself and for the whole flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to guard the church of God, which he purchased through his own blood!
