It might not matter to you, but I assure you, it matters to Yahweh….whom we know from the 10 Commandments, that he tolerates no gods before him. Any who try to accommodate pagan celebrations and customs under the guise of “Christianity” will feel the hand of God’s anger. 2 Cor 6:14-18…KJV… ”14...

No sorry, the names were purely pagan names in honor of their gods….there were many, in contrast to the ONE God of Israel….the one served by his son. (Deut 6:4; Acts 4:27-30)

It’s never too late to right a wrong….especially when the one offended is God. He will rectify that gross error in his own time and way, but for now, he has handed the world over to satan to show us how inept he is the god and ruler of this world, blinding people to the truth of the Bible. (Luke...

It wasn’t the Jews who named the days of the week and the months of the year that we use today….that was Pope Gregory who stuck with the names of pagan gods, even though with the introduction of his new calendar he had the option to change those names to something less offensive to God…..yet he...

Matt 20:28….(ESV) “even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Does it matter how many places where “many” appears to mean “all”? What does it mean in the big picture? Does the Bible contradict itself? It has to be one or the other...

Are you not yourself adding to Scripture? James 2:14-20, 24, 26…. “Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? 15 If any brothers or sisters are lacking clothing and enough food for the day, 16 yet one of you...

I was raised in Christendom, but what I was taught and what I observed made me realize that what passes for ”Christianity” today bears no resemblance to the Christianity that Jesus taught. It seemed that everything Jesus taught, the church did the opposite and justified it. Jesus himself...

Well, the one I alluded to was the one where God told the first man that he was not to eat of the fruit of just one tree in the garden….that command, if he broke it, had consequences…death. Every law that carried the death penalty was conditional….just because God said not to do something...

You know what’s sadder? People responding to posts when they haven’t a clue about the subject matter…. :no reply: Jews did not believe in “heaven or hell” as destinations for human souls, because the human soul required a human body in order to live. A soul has to breathe and is active, but at...

Pick your poison indeed! Paul’s words at 2 Cor 6:14-18 leave us in no doubt about how God feels about polluting his worship with pagan celebrations and traditions….. ”Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has...

Do you recognize when a command is “conditional” @KUWN ? Free willed beings were given choices. The choice they had in the beginning was very simple….God placed two trees in the garden….one was life giving….the other was death dealing…but the conditions were plainly stated…..eat of the...

It was not uncommon for people to be known by more than one name in Bible times. For example, “Simon the son of John” also came to be known as Cephas and Peter. (John 1:42) Nor was it exceptional for Nathanael to be called Bartholomew, or the “Son of Tolmai,” as another man was called simply...

Thank you for your detailed response Reggie....you have raised some interesting points. Is it your position that because there are many who do not deserve heaven, but also do not deserve hell, that a place like “purgatory” must therefore exist? What was the belief of those OT Jews? Did they...

Here is a list of the languages in which the divine name has been translated…. Awabakal - Yehóa Cantonese - Yehwowah Danish - Jehova Dutch - Jehovah English - Jehovah Fijian - Jiova Finnish - Jehova French - Jéhovah Futuna - Ihova German - Jehova Hungarian - Jehova Italian - Geova...

On whose authority do you make such a statement? What do you know about the Masoretes that you think we don’t? “Jehovah” is the accepted English translation of the divine name and has been for centuries. But English is not the only language into which the Bible has been translated….like all...

According to The Encyclopedia Americana, regional councils instrumental in organizing Catholic churches in Spain, Britain, and elsewhere were “often called and dominated by the secular power.” General councils of religious leaders from the whole Roman empire “were unknown before the Council of...

Just to put some perspective on this….the “house of Judah” was the tribe from which Jesus came. So the new covenant was concluded with those who were disciples of Jesus…..those who were released from “the curse of the Law” through Jesus sacrifice, accepted him as the one God “sent” to redeem...

Interesting reply….why do you think I am here? Enough of what? What does the story of Jonah teach us about Jehovah? And is the account all about Nineveh…or Jonah, seeing as how the Ninevites later reverted to their wicked ways, warranting their destruction again. It was some years after...

Could you explain this please Reggie…where is it Biblical? The idea of purgatory is entirely Catholic….it supposes the existence of immortal souls, which can experience some kind of discipline or punishment after death…..but this notion is not from the Bible either….

You do understand that the Ninevites were not Israelites? These were just incredibly wicked people, like the ones who inhabited the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah….but these ones got a warning that those sinful city’s inhabitants did not. No God believers there. What about the pre-flood...
