    God’s name….

    Archaeology does not always make accurate assumptions. Yahweh himself said…. At Exodus 6:3…. ”I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob with [the name] Almighty God, but [with] My name YHWH, I did not become known to them.” (Jewish Tanakh) “God Almighty” was still one God…..Israel were not...

    God’s name….

    Right from the garden of Eden, God has shown us the value of obedience. Adam’s disobedience is what led to sin and death for all his children. Throughout the history of the nation of Israel, likewise the value of obedience was demonstrated in how God responded to their disobedience.….often with...

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    The “big meeting“ involved the dissenters and those arguing for circumcision for their Gentile brothers. “The apostles and elders” were “in Jerusalem“ and Paul and Barnabas were “sent” to them to clear up this divisive argument. After much prayer and debate, a decision was handed down by God’s...

    Did the Serpent deceive A&E by lying, or by telling the truth?

    If you read the account carefully, more is revealed than you think….. The serpent approached Eve whilst she was alone….the newby with little knowledge and experience….the devil’s favorite target. Those who favor a YEC (Young Earth) perspective, lose a lot of that detail. If the creative days...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    It’s not my words that count…..the last word will come from our appointed judge….his opinion of what we have accepted as truth, is all that matters….

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    Here it is from the Jewish Tanakh….. ”10 Whatever your hand attains to do [as long as you are] with your strength, do; for there is neither deed nor reckoning, neither knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, [sheol] where you are going.” “The grave“ is where all are going……calling it “the realm of...

    God’s name….

    The Jewish Tanakh disagrees with you. It was not a statement of his existence as the Jews did know their God. They were a completely separated people in Egypt who in time became slaves. Moses birth tells the story and how God rescued this child because he would be used mightily in Israel’s...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    And yet it was the assignment that Jesus gave to his disciples before he returned to his Father in heaven…. “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    Physical mortality is what humans experience, and we all know how final death is for that person if we have to go on living without them…..but nowhere does the Bible say that there is an immortal soul housed in that body to goes to another destination after physical death. In the Jewish mind...

    Assisted Dying for Minors in Canada , They are Coming for Your Kids

    I do not endorse assisted dying for those who find their life not to be worth living…of course it would be preferable to find ways to make life meaningful and enjoyable for them, but it seems the waiting list to be seen by a professional counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist is way longer than...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    If the Bible does not support the doctrine of the immortal soul, wouldn’t you wonder where it came from? Why has the devil got the whole world believing that humans don’t really die, when that is exactly what God told Adam? Gen 3:19… ”In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you...

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Wonder of wonders!…you’ve never read Acts 15:1-33??? There is a governing body in Jerusalem to whom Paul and Barnabas took the hotly debated topic of circumcision for Gentiles to be resolved. After a decision was reached, a letter was sent to all the congregations with the intention of ending...

    What is the state of the dead in the afterlife?

    And here is the first mistake made by those who have been taught that the “soul” and the “spirit” are one and the same thing….they are not…and never were. These are two completely separate words with two entirely different meanings. The traditional rendering of the Hebrew word “neʹphesh” and...

    God’s name….

    According to the Jewish Tanakh, God’s name means “I Will Be What I Will Be”…..it isn’t a statement of his existence as the Israelites already knew who their God was….it was a statement of his intentions in connection with them and their spectacular exit from Egypt…..they were going to see him...

    Will you go to heaven when you die? - (or the other place)

    Can you show me where it says that in the Bible….? This is not what Israel’s Scripture taught them. There is no “afterlife”…..no spirit body that passes from this realm to another at death. There is no life that continues. The soul cannot exist without a body…..when the body dies the soul dies...

    Will you go to heaven when you die? - (or the other place)

    Not even close……sorry. You are barking up the wrong tree….your version doesn’t hold water…. I know what I know…and it’s nothing like what you claim to know…..please don’t hold your breath waiting for me to change my mind…..you’ll turn blue.

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Why does that bother you? They had one back in the first century….a central, governing body, made up of the apostles and older men, who guided and directed all the congregations and made decisions that all adhered to…..why don’t you have one?
