    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    For those who don't understand what it means to love, in the manner which Yahavah intends us to by the Holy Spirit/Spirit of Christ. Word Origin: Derived from the verb ἀγαπάω (agapaō), meaning "to love." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H160 (אַהֲבָה, ahavah): Often translated as...

    Matthew 19:30

    Love is imperative, in the Christian following of Yeshua. I don't believe it has anything to do with emotionalism at all. It's agape love. Word Origin: Derived from the verb ἀγαπάω (agapaō), meaning "to love." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H160 (אַהֲבָה, ahavah): Often translated...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    I don't think its taboo to look at secular writers, or the early fathers. But when it comes to you, yourself. You need to think and choose for yourself, and search and research and discover things for yourself. That is my encouragement for people is to think for themselves. Just because mom or...

    Wineskins? And Why Old and New do not Mix.

    There are people out there still today that believe they can live by the standards of the law of Moses when it was never written to them to begin with. Sure there is benefit in learning about them, but to try to strive and live so perfectly... it's a failure in the eyes of God, especially when...

    Mocking, treating with scorn, ridiculing, scoffing

    Mocking and ridicule. Jesus was looked at on the cross, and laughed at and mocked. "He saved others, but he can't save himself." "Come down off the cross, Jesus." Jesus said not a retort. He did say a few different things on the gospel narratives, but he didn't retort at them. Isn't that hard...

    James 4:12 Who are you to judge your neighbor?

    It's hard not to judge. Let alone judge oneself, but it takes a person to really look deep inside of themselves to truly address themselves, especially when faced with the things that Jesus himself states, concerning the heart. Mark 7: 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Forgiveness is part of following Christ. It may be hard to forgive people who really done you dirty in your life. Even though who may have murdered a person whom you loved dearly. Or may have done something to your child... Forgiveness is extremely imperative in the faith of following Yeshua...

    Matthew 19:30

    What makes people Christian, is simply following Yeshua, and believing that God raised him from the dead by the Holy Spirit, after having died and been buried. Whatever you believe, is totally between you, your own personal heart, and Yahavah/God. That was what Jesus told the Rich man, in the...

    Understanding the The 1000 Year Millennium in Prophecy

    Im just saying, people can believe how they want to see it but if it's been already 1,000 years, and John supposedly written in 90 Ad, well that's 1090 years since then. I believe he wrote it more closer to the destruction of Jerusalem before it's fall, and if John really meant 1000 years why...

    Understanding the The 1000 Year Millennium in Prophecy

    It's been 2000 years now. What gives?

    Understanding the The 1000 Year Millennium in Prophecy

    I don't think 1,000 years truly meant 1,000 years. John states "These things must soon happen."

    When did the last days start? (Answered)

    There are different facets of preterism, I just believe in fulfilment and that Yeshua has had the victory over all things. However, even so we can't deny what Peter addressed to the crowds, or what the writer of Hebrews had wrote as well, concerning that they themselves were in fact living in...

    Matthew 19:30

    Me either, Bob. That is why we look to the one whom makes us right with Yahavah, the Lord Yeshua. Many people think it's crazy to believe that Jesus gave up his life on behalf of the world, and on behalf of his Father, in order for the scriptures to be fulfilled. That is what I think is also...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I think Jesus became God, after having set with his Father on his throne. The thing is I don’t believe Jesus flesh was God, but the fullness of Yahavah was in him at birthed (God with us: Emmanuel). Yet Jesus had to suffer under temptation. He had to overcome the flesh and after resurrection...

    Matthew 19:30

    What’s interesting to me. Is that Jesus tells the Rich man, to come and follow him. While Jesus loved the person, that person still wasn’t righteous. Only Jesus is righteous and thus he tells him to “sell all you have and follow me.” He walks away. There are many people who do that even still...

    When did the last days start? (Answered)

    There are some people that may not understand that the bible books were not written specifically and directly to us as a people, so quoting it as though it is has not effect on the true nature of the content within the context. Please view the original post, to get an understanding of when the...

    When did the last days start? (Answered)

    Please anyone who has any questions, point out your questions via the original post. If you believe we live in the last days today, that is fine with me. I personally do not.

    Why you need a dash cam to record front and back, road rage attack, and an insurance scam with video

    Hate to hear that Scott. That person should have been detained, if she was drunk. I should have been detained too for the time I had to deal with the police, but they also let me go. It was a blessing, but I am sorry to hear about all that happening to you and your wife too, my man. Im glad the...
