Great question! I am of the same mind as you on this. God is God and he can do whatever he wants, the way he wants. I have asked this question repeatedly over the years: "Why was it necessary to sacrifice the son of God?" But I never found a logical answer. God could teach, judge and forgive us...

Yes! 16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?” 17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to Him, “Which...

Great theologians have always said that and that is what I have believed for some 30 years. We are all led to believe that Jesus' words always take precedence over Paul's because the King is infinetely greatear than the apostle. Some 4 years ago, however, I started watching videos like the one...

I agree, but that doesn't mean all teachings of Jesus given to the Jews still apply.

Before the cross Jesus talked mainly to the Jews, and after the cross he talked to Christians through Paul and other apostles.

Yes, normally a person who receives healing has faith and probably will be saved.

Do you obey the scribes and Pharisees as the earthly Jesus commanded the Jews or do you follow Paul (Jesus' spokesman after the ressurrection) who says we are not under the law? Have you already given away all your properties as Jesus commanded the Jews or do you follow Paul who says that...

Adultery has always been a serious sin (according to Moses, to Jesus and to Paul). The difference is that, according to Jesus' interpretation of the law, if you just look you are an adulterer.

It's time for bed here, I'll answer tomorrow!

Jesus said that looking at a woman is just as serious as doing the deeds of adultery, but Paul doesn't mention "looking at a woman" -- he says that only those who commit physical adultery will not enter heaven. If you believe that Paul's law = Moses' law, than you'll not be saved. But don't...

Healing depends on faith, not on having perfect works. Jesus was showing what would be necessary to be saved by the Law so that the disciples realized how impossible it was. Only after the cross Jesus would reveal the way to salvation (by grace through faith).

Neither have I heard that Jesus' teaching about adultery is no longer valid -- Paul confirmed them in the epistles. Yes, you are right: Moses didn't say that husbands who look at other women are already committing adultery, but Jesus said that because he was perfecting the law of Moses. To be...

You are absolutely correct! Adulterers, fornicators, and practicing homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. If you, however, look at a woman other than your spouse with sexual desire, but change your mind soon enough you will not be counted as an adulterer. Jesus said (before the...

Jesus chose Paul to be his spokesperson. If do what Paul says you are following Christ. If you do what Jesus said before the cross you are following Moses.

Maybe you want to know if I think that the gospels are really gospels (good news). Well, I think that without the other NT books the gospels are actually "bad news". The gospels demand perfection whereas the epistles are more tolerant (but not completely as many pastors preach), because they...

That's correct: not all New Testament is for Christians. When Jesus told his disciples to obey the scribes and Pharisees, He had in mind only the Jews because they were still under the law of Moses. He didn't have in mind the Christians He had in mind only the Jews because they were still...

On line service, 18 P.M. local time, 30AUG 2020 -- Congregação Cristã no Brasil Joshua 3 Many Israelites were not allowed into the Promissed Land because of unbelief (which leads to disobedience). We (Christians) are on the way to our promissed land under the guidance of Jesus Christ. Without...
