    WHICH CHURCH IS HEBREWS WRITTEN TO? ****

    Jerusalem is where Hebrews tended to hang out in those days.

    Why do so many christians Hate Israel..

    I am aware of the prophecy, that Netanyahu will be Prime Minister of Israel until the Lord returns, as long as he doesn't give away any of the Land God has given Israel. I see miracles of God taking place in the political world. Like what possible hope did Donald have of becoming President? Not...

    "Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? I hate them with the utmost hatred; They have become my enemies." Psalm 139:21-23 "I hate the assembly of evildoers, And I will not sit with the wicked." Psalm 26:5

    Why do so many christians Hate Israel..

    Wrong!! When the ship St. Louis with 1000 refugees attempting to escape the German death camps, the US turned them away, and wouldn't allow them to land. So they went to Canada, where the Liberal government also refused refuge, leaving the only option, to return them to the death camps. Great...

    WHICH CHURCH IS HEBREWS WRITTEN TO? ****

    Italy!! What a great place for Paul to spend his final days. :-( He knew what was coming! In the Epistle to the Hebrews, I think he was saying his final good-bye to his brethren in Jerusalem followed by his final letters to his friends, Timothy, Titus and Philemon. :-(

    WHICH CHURCH IS HEBREWS WRITTEN TO? ****

    Is this something you studied for yourself, or just something you read from some ignorant illiterate babbler, who never studied the original texts either. Hebrews was initially written in Hebrew, and you believe it was written by the only non-Hebrew writer of the gospels?? <giggle> Davy, the...

    WHICH CHURCH IS HEBREWS WRITTEN TO? ****

    Believing he wrote that from Jerusalem was my original take on this. He quotes so extensively from the Old Testament, that one would suspect that he had access to the temple scrolls. But he ends his letter with "Those from Italy greet you", which sort of conflicts with the Jerusalem hypothesis...

    WHICH CHURCH IS HEBREWS WRITTEN TO? ****

    Paul wrote his Epistle to the Hebrews in Jerusalem, explaining to them how the New Covenant was a new and better Covenant than the Old, and the primary points of transition between the two.

    I am certainly not in a position to assess someone else's engagement with Scripture. We are all different.

    The false doctrines of the Futurist and Preterist interpretation.

    I don't agree with the preterist concept of the first 5 seals. Like when was the famine that destroyed 25% of the earth's population? While we have seen samples of the 5 seals, I don't believe we have seen anything yet compared to what is coming!! I tend to suspect that the first seal will be...

    What is an Edom Jew? I have never heard the term before. It is an apparent contradiction of terms.

    Why do so many christians Hate Israel..

    Your question was pointless because Christians do not hate Israel! Satan and his servants hate Israel. I fully understand what SovereignGrace is saying. She was giving a very clear and solid answer from a Scriptural perspective, and certainly the way I view the matter. SG comes across as being...

    Taylor was diagnosed spasmodic dysphonia. “Not a few saw my affliction as a blessing in disguise,” he writes, “because it enabled me to concentrate on paraphrasing the rest of the Bible during the next nine years. I continued to pray for healing all of that time and hoped that with the...

    I am not a doctor, but I have read his story, and how he worked day and night on this project. It was a very stressful undertaking!

    Why do so many christians Hate Israel..

    I have never met a Christian who hated Israel, God's son!! ‘Thus says the Lord, “Israel is My son, My firstborn. Exodus 4:22 I do not for a moment believe that someone who hates Israel can possibly be a Christian!!

    Ravi's teaching is not for everyone. It takes a lot of mental focus to understand his message. He is not for light-weights! Brings back memories of my late wife, when 50 years ago, she and Ravi's two sisters were good friends; and just a couple days ago, my son gave me a copy of Ravi's book...

    Dr. Kenneth Taylor was the one who wrote ‘The Living Bible’ as a Bible his kids and other children could understand. The stress of this undertaking, damaged his vocal cords beyond repair, which left him with the inability to communicate verbally for the remainder Of his life. An awesome icon of...

    Maybe a child's 'version' like the Living Bible might be a starting point for some. I really enjoy Kenneth Taylor's paraphrase, because as I read through it, sometimes things would be revealed to me that I didn't know was in Scripture. So, I would go and check it out in a translation to see if...

    I believe it is just Laodicean apathy. They simply don't care! I suspect that fewer than 5% of Christians have read the entire Bible even once!

    (Refuting) The (Original Sin) Doctrine!!

    The whole idea of original sin originated with St. Augustine around 400 AD. The idea was subsequently pick up by St. Jerome, wherein he declared that if a baby died before being sprinkled, that child could never enter Heaven. This all stems from the church at Rome abandoning Scripture and...
