Since the diet originally intended for mankind was perfect, why would God not go back to the original? From creation to the flood, there was no flesh eaten by humans, so I do not know where Hobie got that idea. Not from the Bible. The pre-flood inhabitants of the earth were violent and immoral...

Yes, let’s just take a few of your examples here…..I am not going to address them all as they all show the same misinterpretation. “The comforter” is “paraklētos” and in Greek it is of the masculine gender and naturally has ”male” pronouns. It doesn’t mean that God’s spirit is male.…nor does...

Why were the lost sheep….”lost”? Were they lost to God, or only to Judaism? Their negligent shepherds did not care about them. Jesus was not sent to the incorrigible leadership, but to the lost members of the flock whom Jesus likened to lost lambs, precious enough to leave the 99 and to search...

All true religion begins with the truth, but man made denominations fracture the truth and lead people away from it. If one has a good grasp of the big picture, then everything will fit into it without a lot of tap dancing. Its not that complicated…..broken down to its simplest...

He gave up trying when the Reformation took place…..the Roman Catholic church had held its members in spiritual captivity and bondage for centuries, teaching all manner of false doctrines and pretending that they were Scriptural….but no one was allowed to read the Bible to find out if what they...

Why did God choose Jacob? He was the grandson of Abraham, and was included in the line of descent to the Messiah. Jehovah is “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” (Luke 20:37-38)…..the choosing between Jacob and Esau was not unexpected as we see that God foresaw which of these two boys was a...

You know what’s funny? If all the people who felt this way got together, would they be one united happy Christian family? God’s spirit unites his people…it does not divide them. Unity would show the presence of God’s spirit in having a happy cohesive spiritual family who fulfill what Pall said...

You can believe that if it suits your interpretation but it finds no support in Scripture. God had a purpose in his creation and nothing would prevent him from completing it. Free will and predestination are incompatible. You have to choose one or the other, you cannot have both.

The command was clear…in Hebrew, the word used in Exodus 20:4 is “pesel” which is given the definition…. “graven image…carved image” Not only that but in the Jewish Tanakh, it says in Exodus 20:4…. “4 You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness which is in the heavens above...

There was no reason to predestinate anything until there was a reason to do so. God had contingencies ready for whatever his children chose to do….free will had its drawbacks, but it also had wonderful benefits if used correctly. If they had never disobeyed, what would have been the result...

What foods did Noah take onto the ark? And what animals were considered “clean” and “unclean”, if all humans were vegetarians before the flood? These were the animals considered “clean” and “unclean” for sacrifice, hence there were seven of the “clean” animals chosen, and only two of the...

Eph 1:3-5…. ”3  Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ, 4  as he chose us to be in union with him before the founding of the world, that we should be holy and unblemished before him...

Yes, as you rightly said, if Christ re-established the original standard for marriage, then it stands to reason that he would restore all the things God said were “good” in Genesis after he had completed them…that included the creation of man and his assignment to have all creatures in...

What is with the one line quips that no one gets but you QT? If you have something to add, do it intelligently so that others know what the heck you’re talking about….. Did you want to read pages? That is about as condensed as I could make it….what does that even mean? Apparently only you...

God changed what it meant to be a “Jew”…..this is spiritual “Israel”…..national “Israel” lost its place through disobedience and was given back to the nations to spill blood just like all the rest. (Isa 1:15) You are so left behind….but it’s not me who will tell you….you don’t want to know...

Reading the exchanges here I believe something important is missing…..the very reason why God granted permission to eat meat after the flood of Noah’s day, when that was not the original diet he mandated for all living creatures in Genesis?…. Gen 9:1-7….after the floodwaters had subsided…...

Again with the Holy Ghost? There is no Holy Ghost. The “Holy Spirit” (God’s power) was sent from the Father in “the name” of the son….All miracles performed whilst Jesus was alive in the flesh we’re done in “Jesus name“…..Jesus himself said “the Father is greater than I am”…..(John 14:28) Does...

There is no such thing as “the Holy Ghost”….the word “ghost” is a mistranslation, substituting a German word (Geist) for the English (spirit) and giving a false impression that this “ghost” is somehow Yahweh. It is the “Holy Spirit”, also known as “God’s spirit”, and it is the adminitration of...

I have no idea why the consensus is that natural Israel has any further future use in God’s purpose. He needed them to fulfill prophesy about the identity of the coming Messiah…..they chose to reject him and have him put to the most painful death imaginable…..why would God want to reward them...

When people have a mindset, no amount of “Scripture” will sway them from what they want to believe. We will all stand before the same judge…..won’t it be interesting to see who it is that Jesus describes in Matt 7:21-23? There will be no arguments then. Jesus will tell us plainly who are his...
