I agree the church is not made of people from a blood line, God loves everyone and died for everyone. The church is made up of those that love Jesus, both Jews and Gentiles. The Jewish nation was meant to be a means to witness to all nations and preserve the truth. As spiritual Jews today we...

God winks at peoples ignorance, and salvation isn't about being perfect at keeping a law. But love for God will motivate a true heart to obey God and honour His laws of love. Faith in Christ without works is dead.. So to say i love Jesus and disobey His commands continually is not true faith or...

Yes common sense is important, and the devil will cause people to become extreme about keeping the sabbath so they lose the blessing or he will cause people to ignore it completely. the Jews in Jesus day had made so many laws around how to keep the sabbath holy that it was a burden and not...

The Bible tells us that they had a set time......Dan 9:24-27 Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up...

when reading the old testament i see a God that wanted to be gracious and merciful, wanting to show great blessings on His people but they kept disobeying the law and doing things their sinful way. God hasn't changed and He is wanting to bless us today. The world is becoming more and more open...

If God askes you to do something, should you do it? Or ignore God because of tradition?

God is the Judge of your salvation, not humans that are equally sinful. You need to be saved every day and every second of each day, and that comes by knowing Jesus. Knowing your Lord, Knowing your creator, knowing your saviour, and your friend. Jesus has done all and if you love Him it will be...

If you accept that death = death, it makes sense, the few verses that are being used to say eternal conscious suffering is coming on the wicked can be easily explained if you are willing to hear. There is eternal death and punishment coming to the wicked. Death, not life, will be eternal. Jud...

Yes the just wrath of God. He is a JUST God and a lifetime of sin (70 years) does not = eternity of punishment. If the sins of one person are great and the next person not so great but they both suffer eternal punishment that is not fair or just. Knowing my father or mother are in hell burning...

"Can a true born again believer desire to be in bondage and be free?" Because of Christ we are free of the penalty of the law and there should be no condemnation for all the times we have sinned (transgressed the law). Can a free, born again believer, keep the law because they love the Lord...

This really is a important subject. The state of the dead..... Do the dead really die ... the dead are dead. Or are the dead alive in another form, or the soul lives on without the body. Has anyone looked at history? It really helps to understand the origins of these teachings. The first...

Amen.. The word is the truth and when studied with an open heart it comes to life. The bible does not contradict itself and God does not changes His standards or principles.

different religions and philosophers have developed a variety of theories as to its nature, its relationship to the body, and its origin and mortality. Among ancient peoples, both the Egyptians and the Chinese conceived of a dual soul. The Egyptian ka (breath) survived death but remained near...

"The early Hebrews apparently had a concept of the soul but did not separate it from the body, although later Jewish writers developed the idea of the soul further. Biblical references to the soul are related to the concept of breath and establish no distinction between the ethereal soul and the...

We can fall away. Salvation is not finalized till our probation closes. It can be secured and we can have assurance but while the choice is there we can turn away from salvation. Consider Jesus’ parable of the sower, which describes the gospel seed being spread on different types of soil...

We know that the Bible says, “God is love” and that love does not force love. You cannot force someone to love you. Forced love is rape! God promises that when we freely come to Him, He will never turn us away. Yet it is against the very nature of God to force us to stay with Him if we tire of...

God does know the beginning from the end. Why even let us suffer if the results are known to God? Because God is on trial too. That might sound bad but the accusations of Satan are that God is not fair and many others. If the universe was like God and knew all things it would be understandable...

What helped me was to step back and look at the big picture. Context and other scriptures help to give the spiritual guidance needed. In Jesus' day the theory of eternal torment and life after death as a soul was not believed by Jews. Because it was believed by pagan religions it may have...

Good point i agree... This has been said and it seems (i might be wrong) but some views are affected by Calvinism, or predestination.

What about the verse in the Bible that says, “The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh”? (Exodus 9:12). Did God make Pharaoh stubborn so that He could use him to teach Israel a lesson? Did Pharaoh have no choice whatsoever in whether or not his own heart would be hard? Keep in mind, there are...
