"Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and...

@CarriePie @CommodoreTeach Remember kids: they'll kill you and think they are serving God. "...the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me."

“Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity...

Yeah, my question gets at the racism inherent in many church practices. To boil it down: why should an Arab believer celebrate a Jewish holiday? These things, like celebrating shadows when the reality has appeared, are relics of Rome. By and large, The Roman Church does not teach the indwelling...

Or a better question: Why celebrate the symbol when the reality has come? It's like calling your wife on the phone when she's standing in the room.

How should an Arab Christian celebrate Passover?

Being right was the judgment of the people. The people told Moses to go into the presence of God in their stead. So, instead of becoming priests themselves, who can hear God, only 1 tribe in 12 were given that privilege under the Law. Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning...

I appreciate the value you put on scripture. You wrote: I underlined the portion that is evidence that Peter's audience was not the Jews. He is writing to people "who once were not a people". The Jews, even if scattered, were always a distinct people with a distinct homeland. These are...

“Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children...

You accidentally quoted me when you meant to quote someone who despises Israeli Jews.

Also, is it probable that 144,000 natural descendants of Abraham have already received Christ to date? If so, when did Christ stop counting?

Oh good: We agree the Jews are cut off from God’s kingdom because of their unbelief of Christ. It should also be noted that the natural branches do not nourish the grafted branches. The root, Who is Christ, nourishes the whole tree. If one is not in Christ they are not in the tree.

Who is hating whom? So, if I convert to Christ as a Jew do I receive the small part of land promised to Abraham or the whole earth and heaven promised to Christ?

Let’s test a theory… Paul wrote in Galatians: 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are...

You have got to be kidding me.:rolleyes:

Why would you say that? No one cursed anyone, except God letting the curses befall physical Israel, who are still under a curse. But you've been conditioned to oppose someone who believes the revealed wisdom of scripture regarding the Seed and Christ. You weren't in a vacuum when you gained...

I find it amusing that the evidence for physical Israel and the Jews for being "God's chosen people" is that they win the wars they fight. Instead, we should total the devastating loss of their sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, in every battle. Because of their unbelief they have no...

There was never a promise to physical Israel through Abraham. The promise to physical Israel came at Sinai only and that was through the law. While it was supposed to be the time in which all national Israel came into the covenant of promise, they did not come into the presence of God and...

I tend to go in a different direction than what is expected with questions like these. A principle I live by "beware the simple narrative" is always active with me even though audiences tend to want the quick and easy answer. These things are best understood when we recognize God's kingly...

Yeah, when someone says that, they are immature believers at best. Also, if it's a discussion about doctrine then no forgiveness is necessary. It's just a discussion.
