Scripture tells us in Hebrews 8:13: By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. Does this mean that God has broken his first promise?

Hebrews 9:9-10 explains it like this: "This is an illustration for the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations...

It cannot mean that He is disagreeing with anything the Lord says in the OT. In Matt. 5:17 we are told that Christ changed nothing of the OT. I think it is explaining the prophesy of Ezekiel 31:33, telling us that soon the Lord’s law would be written in man’s hearts. In the OT the law was...

Do you think it is true that viewing man as the source of wisdom is a sign of idolitry?

Do you think Christ established our churches to teach us about the Kingdom of God and does not want to teach anything about the kingdom of the world? When Nebuchadnezzarii (ruler of ancient Babylonia) conquerored Judah to send Jews to Babylon to live as prisoners, they lived in a land very...

Ezra ordered all the Israelites to divorce their foreign wives. Ezra 10:2. A large group of Israelites returned to Jerusalem from Babylon to rebuild the temple, and live a life true to the Lord. Ezra was their a high priest, leading the people. In Ezra 9 we are told of his reaction when he...

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Was there a change that let you know Christ lives within when you invited Christ in and accepted Christ as your savior?

1Ti_4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Are there any posters who practice Christian meditation who could help us learn how to meditate? There seems to be two opposite ways to meditate. In the medical world it speaks of...

Accepting Christ is just the first of a wonderful journey. It tells us in Ephesians 2:10 that God has created a new work in him to do good works. “ For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...

The law of Moses was given in stone. Stone is lasting and true, but it is without love. It could be obeyed by the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law, or with love. It was of the earth, even the blessings obedience brought were fleshly blessing of such as good crops. It was...

The Lord gave Moses the law in stone, and the Lord is truth, yet that law is inadequate. Christ put the law into our hearts. The law in stone is fleshly, to be obeyed by the letter of the law. God is spirit, not flesh, so the true law is not the fleshly letter of the law, it is the law of the...

When we think of the cross today, we think of how Christ died on the cross for our sins. Before Christ did this for us the cross meant punishment, torture and death. We are told to take up our cross and follow Christ. What does Christ mean by that? God did not want us to live in a world...

Repentance puts us in the presence of God. For hundreds of years, and even today, Jews say a daily prayer praising God for his might, his kindness, his forgiveness, and many other blessings we have. Included is a blessing for repentance. Inluded in this prayer called the standing prayer is...

God gave the task to Moses to change the multitude that followed him from a mixed crowd to people who knew and obeyed God. It was a staggering task. The way the Lord had Moses do it was to relate everyday tasks to living for God. They were tasks of the flesh, but each had a spiritual...

It wasn’t until the fourth century when Hippocrates believed the brain was the seat of intelligence that it wasn’t considered common knowledge that the heart is where thought came from. When the men who wrote the words God inspired them to write wrote the words translated as heart in scripture...

We all have enemies. Even the ways of the world are enemies of the ways of the Lord. This site has many enemies. It is rather routine for a post to read “you are a liar” when it should read “I don’t believe what you posted is accurate”. Christ warned us about how wrong labeling people is...

They both give the truth, but in such a different way. Jesus jumps right into our lives both today and for eternity. Jesus says repent, and his ministry is telling us what the kingdom of heaven is like. Jesus wants us to live in this world kingdom as if it really is the kingdom of heaven...

Scripture tells us we are chosen. 1 Peter 2: 8-9 "………They (Jews) stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called...
