There have been several threads recently where questons have come up as to:
Why do Torah based Jews not accept Chrisitian scriptual interpretation?
Why do Torah based Jews not Jesus as a/the Messiah?
Why is there a divide between "Judaism" and "Christianity?"
It is hope that in this post these...
While I was raised knowing that the spread of Christianity helped popularize the notion of Monotheism, more recently I've wondered whether the Christian God is the same as the Jewish God. Setting aside the question of whether or not the Christian deity has a triune nature or if Jesus is god - if...
In Judaism, prophecy is believed to have ended after Malachi and is set to come back during the messianic era (never mind the reasons now).
From what I've gathered, Christians believe that prophecy never ended. Jesus, for example, is considered, among other things, a prophet. Maybe also John...
Psalm 119 is considered by Jews to be a psalm entirely about the love of Torah, that is, the divine law. Clearly the Psalmist, who some say is David (though it is anonymously written), was very much enthralled with the law of God. While not that many Jews may remember the entire chapter by...
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...
Why is it that American Christian fundamentalists are always demanding that people live under a Christian theocracy? This seems to be an idea that's largely confined to the US, as despite being literally ruled by churches and Christian monarchs for over thousand years, the idea of a Christian...
This question is for all those who claim to be Christian, who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus using the New Testament. So it includes, Catholics, Protestants, JW's etc. This excludes those who belong to religions that claim to supercede Christianity, such as muslims and Baha'i, as the...
If Christians make up 1% of India's population that means there is 13 million Christians in India which is a pretty sizeable amount.
Are these practising Christians? If they are then do you think there are more practising Christians than UK, France or Germany?
Are there any famous Indian...
TOP 10 CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE
My findings:
1. God doesn't tempt any man; James 1:13. But God tempts the man named Abraham; Genesis 22:1. (KJV)
2. Abstain from all evil; 1 thessalonians 5:22 and there is no darkness in God; 1 john 1:5. But then I must abstain from God because he is the...
*A Samarian YHWH/Yahweh from 325 B.C on a Drachm coin.*
First, let's establish this very fact to avoid confusion:
The LORD = "all caps" a reference for the Hebrew name of God himself in the Old Testament which is YHWH/Yahweh, using the tetragrammaton. The reason why the bible does not use...
In the last couple of years of my surfing forums and engaging online with people of different religions, I've come to realize that not only are there literally tens of thousands of Christian denominations, but many - if not most of those denominations - appear to deny the Christianity of other...
"THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED BY GOD"
Emphasis: Deuteronomy 32:15-18, Psalms 78:58-59; God gets jealous and angry when his own people start worshipping other gods, just like in the human sense, A person can get jealous and angry when their fiancée kisses her close "guy friend" and pays no attention...
A quick guide for exposing both religions. This one is easier to do than you think. All you have to do is first read both the Christian Bible and Qur'an to get a general idea of why both religions don't agree with each other's belief systems 100% of the way. Hence, different religions. Okay, so...
In recent years, I've been hearing more and more the claim made by Christians that the reason they don't keep any (or hardly any) of the Torah's commandments is that Jesus "fulfilled" the old covenant and ushered in the new covenant.
What does "fulfilling" mean exactly?
To me, it seems that...
Not sure if this is in the right section...
Anyway, through various discussions and, at times, heated debates online with Christians on different sites these last couple of years, I've come under the impression that at least some Christians view Judaism as "Christianity minus Jesus". Certainly...
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...
‘A Russian comedian who made jokes about President Vladimir Putin and Christianity says he has fled the country over fears for his safety.
Aleksandr Dolgopolov, 25, said he became concerned after learning that police were investigating footage from his stand-up performances.
Authorities said...
Heaven and Hell, the end paths of life are eternal.
Life on Earth is temporary. Actions done here determine the final destination of the soul. Therefore life on Earth is a test.
In Christianity, we assume that we only live one life on Earth, therefore the result of the test is final...
