    Where are the sun, moon, and stars?

    The firmament on Gen. 1:6-8 was the space between the waters up and the waters covering the primitive planet, since a part of the waters that first covered the planet were lifted into the atmosphere leaving an empty space in the middle. The waters up felt down on the Deluge and there is not more...

    Your take on mental illness and the Christian faith...

    It is exactly like that. Another problem is that for a doctor it can be very difficult sometimes, to determine if the observable symptoms are due to a neurosis or a psychosis. Remember (as I said before) that neurosis is behavioral and psychosis is physical. In both cases the same symptoms...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Deu 23:14 (ESV) Because the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you. There is not such a thing as having God caught by the...

    Please help finding a verse

    There are two similar passages, one in OT and the other in NT: Num 11:26 There were two of the men still in the camp. Their names were Elʹdad and Meʹdad. And the spirit began to settle down on them, as they were among those whose names had been written down, but they had not gone out to the...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Let's look at this issue from another perspective: 1) if the holy spirit is considered as a person, and as God, the spirit is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY ... 2) A person who claims to be born again must necessarily have the holy spirit in him / her. If that person insists on a sin proceeding, the holy...

    Your take on mental illness and the Christian faith...

    In the medical branch two types of mental problems are distinguished: neurosis and sycosis. Neurosis is a negative response of the individual to certain problematic situations. Sycosis is a physical problem that has to do with chemical imbalances in the brain. Neurosis is treated with education...

    I am not calling Jesus or John liars. That makes you a liar.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Nobody has eternal life since we all are getting sick and dying. It is obvious that John is talking about a promise for the future. We have the promise and it is trustable, so in that sense is secure. We are no secured, though, no matter how secure is the promise. We must fight and resist and...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Jesus obeyed up to the end: Heb 5:7 In the days of his flesh [Christ] offered up supplications and also petitions to the One who was able to save him out of death, with strong outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear. 8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Nobody is calling John a liar; you are missunderstanding his words. We have eternal life if we follow Jesus up to the end, and that is it. If we stop following Jesus, we don't have eternal life. Maybe you should consider what it is to follow Jesus. Look at his life and you will see what is...

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    We can have eternal life if we follow Jesus ... it is not enought to believe, we must obey up to the end.

    Did Jesus ever tell us that we no longer need to keep the law of Moses?

    Yours is human wisdom, EG ... Don't think of yourself more than what you should. What Paul said is this: 2 Cor 5:10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may get his award for the things done through the body, according to the things he has...

    Not By Works

    Luk 13:23 Now a certain man said to him: “Lord, are those who are being saved few?” He said to them: 24 “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell YOU, will seek to get in but will not be able, 25 when once the householder has got up and locked the door...

    You are just a branch that does not produce fruits ... and what will happen with the branch that does not produce fruits? Good luck with your tomatoes.
