No. What the Scribes and Pharisees were doing was limiting the commandments to mere outward acts. They thought if the didn't partake in sex outside of marriage, they were being really good. Jesus told them that the commandment included evil thoughts, looking at a woman other than one's wife and...

That is why you do not see these things continuing to happen today: because your understanding of the Word of God comes only from yourself or from other people. We who have come to know the one true God do not rely on our own understanding when it comes to God and His Word. PROVERBS 3:5 5...

When the Lord Jesus began His ministry, He was about 30 years old. When He came to the Jews, their basis for salvation was the Word of God. They therefore sought to obey God’s commandments according to their literal meaning: “Do not murder, do not steal, do not lie, do not commit adultery...

It doesn't hurt me. It just becomes rather tedious to keep reading the same phrase, that implies that you know which of us on Christian Chat are Christians and which are not. In the time of the New Testament, the Jews, led by the scribes and Pharisees, followed and enforced God’s commandments...

All of those things are truly happening in our time. But I am not forcing you to see them that way. It simply means that you were not given the eyes to see all of these things. However, we who have come to know the one true God are clearly being shown by the Lord that these things continue to...

Understanding that verse as literally true does not in any way contradict Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. What kind of water did John the Baptist use for baptism?

NKJV Gen 9:11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." Your understanding of this is literal. That is why it contradicts Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. The benefit of...

But much of the Bible is literal. God literally created the earth, sun, moon, stars, animals, birds, fish, mankind, etc. He literally sent a world-wide flood, which killed all humans and animals not with Noah on the ark. He literally sent His only begotten Son to be born of a virgin, and to...

So please tell me, why does Hebrew and Greek have to conform with English usage? Jesus told His followers to love their enemies. He Himself as a Child was subject to Mary and Joseph; He didn't hate them: What comes out of your mouth shows that you do not understand God’s word for yourself...

Please stop using that phrase, "We who have come to know the one true God." It makes it sound as though you are making the judgement that others of us are not even Christians. That surely cannot be right. I cannot stop saying that we have come to know the one true God, because that is the...

It is enough for me to testify to Ecc. 1:9 and Matt. 24:35. I will leave you to your belief. But I cannot say that I do not see it that way, because God is showing it to me.

If you cannot fulfill Luke 14:26 through hatred, then it is also impossible for you to fulfill John 6:51, 55, and 56. How will you eat the flesh of the Lord and drink His blood so that you may be saved? JOHN 6:51, 55 & 56 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of...

You say that you do not depend on your own understanding. But when it comes to the promise of the Lord God in Gen 9:11, it is clear that you do depend on your own understanding. That is why you interpret it in a literal sense. And because you cannot see what we see, your seemingly clear...

You yourself also said that God knows everything. Therefore, He already knew back then that in our generation, the meanings of “hate” and “love” would be opposite. So it cannot be that “hate” meant “love less” to the Jews. Therefore, we who have been enlightened by God’s word testify that...

We who have come to know the one true God when the example we saw before us appeared to us to be white, but God said that it was black, we believed Him because we know that the Lord speaks the truth (John 14:6). So we humbled ourselves before Him. And when He saw our humility, He revealed the...

Is Pharaoh still ruling Egypt? YES! Are Israelites still salves there, being forced to make bricks without straw? YES! Are their male babies still being killed in Egypt? Of course not YES! These things do have spiritual lessons to teach us. But that doesn't mean that the actual things...

Some things happen only once. Who should we believe? You, who say that there are things that happen only once? Or God, who says that everything is merely repeated and that there is nothing new under the sun? ECCLESIASTES 1:9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will...

If Simon Peter were still alive who just an ordinary fisherman and you were told that he was special to God, which is why God said to him, “Blessed are you,” you would laugh at him even more. Because you are not seeking the truth, but rather those things that conform to your own beliefs...

The Lord knows what is in a person’s heart. Therefore, the Lord does not depend on what people say; rather, He looks at what is in their hearts. This is like the Jews’ claim to belong to Him, which the Lord did not accept because the condition of their hearts was different. JOHN 8:39 & 41 39...

why God is not still rescuing the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt You will never truly see this. We, who have come to know the one true God who bears witness to Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35, testify to people that the Lord’s rescue of the Israelites has never ceased. We see Him...
