That should read "a few of the parables" not all of the parables. Even the parable of the sower tells us that "the field is the world".

And that's why this thread is illogical.

If you keep everything in its context there will be no conflict. The Galatians were being told that circumcision was necessary for salvation, and this is Paul's rebuttal. Timothy can not circumcised after that, but before that was said.

The Gospel is a simple declaration which is not included in that passage. Already addressed, and already ignored.

Paul was following this principle of grace and Gospel outreach: And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law (1 Cor 9:20) Timothy was already half a Jew. So there was really no...

The term "Shekinah" (meaning "dwelling" and by extension "divine presence") was invented by Jewish rabbis. It is not found in the Torah or in the OT. The Hebrew word כָּבוֹד (kabowd) simply means "glory" -- the brightness of God's glory -- which always appeared between the Cherubim over the...

The Catholic Church puts "Tradition" on a par with Scripture. Therefore they have invented a false Christianity. So you have two options: (1) believe lies promoted for about 2,000 years or (2) believe God. God speaks to men directly through His Word, but the Catholic Church hated the idea of...

Why was it necessary for the Holy Spirit to have the epistle to the Hebrews placed within the Bible? Because all Christians – particularly Hebrew Christians – needed to clearly understand that what the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished in His birth, His life, His death, burial, resurrection...

"The Law" is a term which can mean different things, depending on the context. Matthew 5:17-18 sums up the Hebrew Tanakh (our Old Testament) as "the Law (the first five books) and the Prophets" (the remaining 19 books). But that is NOT what we are talking abut here. There are scores of...

Paul was referring to the Ten Commandments, not the rituals of the Old Covenant. How do the Ten Commandments drive sinners to the Savior? By exposing the guilt of every human being. And thus sinners turn to God for mercy and grace, and forgiveness of sins. ROMANS 2 17 Behold, thou art called...

How can the King become His Kingdom? Messiah is the King of Israel and the King of kings. But He will rule over His Kingdom (which will encompass the whole universe). He does not BECOME His Kingdom. That would be Pantheism (which is absurd).

Garee, you are not authorized to misapply and misrepresent Scripture. The evil angels called "sons of God" in the OT were NOT being led by the Spirit of God. They were under Satan's control. They are called "the angels which kept not their first estate" and "the angels which sinned". They are...

It's another pointless rhetorical question. The real issue is whether God planned to carry the Old Covenant requirements into the Church under the New Covenant, and the answer is a resounding "NO!" So actually the ones holding on to elements of the Law of Moses AFTER the finished work of...

Have you checked existing threads on this subject in CC? In brief the daughters of men are human women whereas the sons of God are fallen angels who co-habited with them and produced Nephilim or giants.

Well the Bible is perfectly clear that after the Second Coming of Christ a huge number of Jews from all over the world will indeed repent and receive Christ as their true Divine Messiah and King. So what makes you think that this is not going to happen?

Because you are confusing two groups of evil spirits. Those chained in Tartarus are the evil angels which sinned before the Flood, and corrupted humanity. They remain confined to this day. Demons are evil spirits which are free to roam on this earth and take possession of living creatures...

Yes. The application of "in the wilderness" for Christians would be exactly this. We are called strangers and pilgrims, and this world is clearly a wilderness compared to our heavenly home in the New Jerusalem. And our citizenship is indeed in Heaven. Abraham is a type of the Christian, since...

The only word that come close to mispar is לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֖ם (lə-miš-pə-ḥō-ṯām) which means "by their families" (in the KJV "after their families).\ Also some are transliterating it as Bamidbar but previously (and even now) Bemidbar was being written.

Now this is an attempt at derailment. Let's get back to the topic. ARE ALL ENGLISH BIBLE TRANSLATION ACCEPTABLE? THE SHORT ANSWER IS "NO".

The Hebrew title of Numbers is Bemidbar, which means "in the wilderness". That is found in the first verse of the first chapter, which literally reads as below: And spoke Yahweh to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the...
