    Nice. I agree slow and steady is good. One thing that can help speed it up though is to research plants you already know. It’s easier to learn the edible qualities of plants you know verses hunting them down. Like pine nuts.

    Some people turn from their faith though after believing and being baptized into Christ. They turn their back on Christ and when they die they go to hades and when resurrected they don’t receive eternal life but are destroyed in hell.

    Baptism is when we are forgiven of sins, put on Christ, receive the Holy Spirit and added to the church. If I remain a Christian, and will, I will die and go to the grave and be awoken at my resurrection and hear my name in the book of life and then I’ll be saved.

    Back it up with scripture then. because if you think we are saved twice you have a lot to learn. We don’t get saved now and then get saved when our name is called in the book of life. Just like the lost don’t get condemned at death and the. Resurrected and not found in the book of life and...

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    Yes. They all go to paradise and await to have their name called in the book of life and then we are saved. We don’t get saved twice. what I was saying though was that the thief died as a forgiven jew under the old covenants and not as a Christian. It was a few days more until Christ conquered...

    Also no one dies and goes up to heaven. We are resurrected to eternal life on a restored earth as the new Jerusalem ( heaven) comes down to earth.

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    We are saved at the judgement. Everyone is saved at once when their names are called in the book of life. We don’t get saved twice. We go to the grave and then resurrected and saved to new life when we hear our names called in the book of life.

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    KJV is not required to have the phrase begotten. Most contain it. The word begotten is also very important. Angels and mankind were all called sons of god alluding to God as our father and creator. The phrase begotten means essentially brought into existence by a parent.

    It may also help people to remember that gentile is a Greek word that is used as a umbrella term for non Jewish people. Often the word , Hellén, for a Greek is translated gentile and so is ethnos that means nations. In the old testament they often just used that specific nations name. Such as...

    There was no Jews yet. That’s why Abraham is often considered the father of the Jews. This whole thing mostly took place in Mesopotamia which included the Sumer regions. Out of those people, Abraham was picked by God. Later on in his line the Jewish tribe arose.

    I did not say anything wrong. The gospel is another word of the good news. The thief clearly heard the gospels being preached (the good news ) because he recognized a Jesus as the messiah and son of God.... So I think maybe next time before typing out something you should think it through. You...

    Definitely there are some neat agricultural practices as well. With out species size it will always be something we require. Some companies are doing a lot more in the process of it though than others to make it good and safe. Such as using less destructive pesticides and having sedge and grass...

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    Both. it was wrote directly to the Jews and was for the Jews. That’s the audience. However, it spans past that as it’s taught the gospel will be heard to the ends of earth. It was wrote to the Jews and for them but anyone can learn from it to better understand the epistles of the apostles.

    Is the teaching of Jesus before His crucifixion only for Jews?

    The gospels were about the messiah fulfilling the law. His primary audience was the Jewish men and women. Such as the bit about sacrifices. Jesus was setting the teachings of Moses straight and introducing aspects of the new covenant that was further lined out after his death and resurrection...

    Actually the thief did several things. 1. He choose to believe in the gospels he heard preached. That’s an action. To listen to something and place trust in it being real Is an action. 2. He confessed that Jesus was Lord when he recognized that Jesus was coming in glory in his kingdom. 3...
