    Funerals and Faith

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God...

    Jewish Believers

    I know we're not supposed to turn this into a dating forum, but I at least have to pop the question; are there any Messianic Jewish women out there or have they all been snatched up? I've seen some Messianic Jewish men on here, but only one woman in all my time here. Anyway if you have the time...

    Piekins

    Anyone heard of these? Perkins makes them. I'm not sure where they come from. And it seems like they have another name. But piekin is the only name I've been able to come up with. Here's what they look like:

    Children, Paradise and Destruction

    Yes, this is one of those "Do babies go to paradise when they die?" threads. Just a heads up. For quite a while I believed that when innocent children died they were never to be resurrected again - nor were they to go to spiritual destruction but simply die the death of an animal. I realize...

    Scammers & Players

    Anyone know a list of online dating scammers/players out there to check? I've had one person say that I resembled a person on said list, and I've had problems with online dating profiles before - being removed, access being restricted, etc. Which makes me a little suspicious that my photos may...

    Inconsistencies of Unbelieving Jews

    So there's a pretty big Jews for Judaism anti-missionary movement out there, and it's the counterpart to Jews for Jesus. But some of their arguments just make me scratch my head. For instance... 1. Why are they opposed to Jesus being called a Son of God when this title was used many times in...

    If Noah's Ark is a true story...

    Since the link isn't straightforward, here's the image I wanted people to see: You see 舟 on the left and 八 in the upper right and 口 in the lower right. But those two both should be counted as one part and shouldn't be able to be broken apart. Anyway, it's a possibility from what I know about...

    Contradiction?

    Matthew 27:9-10 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me. Zechariah 11:13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the...

    The Definitive Guide to the Ideal Woman

    I don't care if you look like the above 1940's version of Mrs. Smith. If you have the following traits you'll do well in the dating world: 1. Make your man a sandwich. (Just kidding) But, seriously, who wouldn't in a loving relationship? I made my ex breakfast in bed and had her mom take it...

    Do not call anyone father

    Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Anyone have an opinion on this verse? To be honest, I haven't studied it to my own satisfaction. And I hope to do that in this thread. The verse seems pretty clear. And as a result of not...

    What's your wroship day like?

    I went to a Messianic Synagogue (Christian Jews) last night. I didn't know what to expect, but I knew it would be interesting. It seemed like a mix of Pentecostal and Catholic which was a rather odd combination. It wasn't Pentecostal in the sense of speaking in tongues or anything like that. It...

    David and Elhanan Killed Goliath?

    So this was an interesting problem that I've done some research on today. I've pretty much arrived at a conclusion - a theory - but nothing unquestionably firm just yet. So I'd like to list the passages in question and turn the problem over to you folks out there. Maybe there is someone out...

    Jeconiah and the Curse

    Summary So I've been wondering for some time about the curse of Coniah in the Bible. Now Jesus' genealogies trace back roughly to the cursed King Jeconiah (at least one of his genealogies). The claim is that this would make him incapable of becoming a king. Now people have tried to remedy this...

    No Mercy Without Justice

    Hebrews 9:23 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The Torah being a pattern of the heavenly, it makes sense that God does not first forgive and show mercy without there being some form of shed blood...

    Would you marry Jesus?

    If Isaiah 53:2-4 is prophetic of Jesus, then it seems to be very revealing about him and about ourselves. If you've ever felt plain-faced, ignored, overlooked, used by those closest to you, misunderstood... then Jesus can sympathize. You know how many people took advantage of him - even...
