    Christians and marriage

    Actually, St. Paul stated that the unbeliever is santified through their Christian spouse and that their children are not unclean but holy. And who are we to tell a person who they should marry and who they should not marry? We are Christians. We are not Muslims who make marriage arrangement...

    Christians and marriage

    I disagree. The Apostles went out and met the Gentiles who were pagans. They did not stay away from them, but went out to spread the good news to them. St. Paul even recognized Christians who are married to pagans or unbelievers. St. Paul stated that the unbelievers who are married to...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    I showed you that Adam means "man" as a NOUN, and "ruddy" as a VERB. When God created the first man, God used the meaning of "man" (Lexicon H120). You, on the other hand, focused only on Lexicon H119 and disregarded Lexicon H120, which is a NOUN referring to the first man Adam. Now, why is...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    The word "man" does not mean ruddy or red. The Hebrew word for man is "Adam." It is the noun form of Lexicon H120. Ruddy has another Lexicon according to Strong's Biblical Usage and Translation. Ruddy is in the verb tense. Man is a NOUN form. God did not call the first man Adam because of...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    Below is the Hebrew word of Adam (Lexicon H120) taken from Strong's biblical Lexicon, and I provided the weblink below. And by the way, the word "ruddy" is also an English word. http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H120&t=KJV...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    God called the first human being "Adam" simply because he was a man (Lexicon H120). God does not care about the skin color of a person. There is only one race - the human race. All others such as black, white, brown, red, and yellow were all created by man. Even the Bible says that Jesus...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    In referring to the first human being, it means "man" because it is used as a noun, and its Lexicon is H120. When using the Hebrew word for "ruddy" (which also means Adam), it is a verb and it's Lexicon is H119. So, the correct meaning for Adam is "man" when referring to the first human being...

    Is Jesus God?

    Jesus is God. He is the second person in the Holy Trinity. The second person (who is God) is 100% human and 100% divine. He has two natures. His divine nature is God and His human nature came from Mary because Jesus is not only called "the Son of God", but also the "son of Mary." It is the...

    Christians and marriage

    1 Timothy 2:4-5 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. God does have a want or a desire. His desire to have all men to be saved, which is why He sent His Apostles out into the world to...

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    That may be so. But the HEBREW word for Adam is "man." And the old Testament was not written in Greek.

    Christians and marriage

    The answer is because of Love. A man and woman marry because they love each other. God loves all sinners and all peoples including the unbelievers. God does not want anyone to suffer. He wants everyone to know Him. To do that, a Christian either has to spread the good news to that person...

    Christians and marriage

    It is God who chooses who our spouse should be. Did you not read Genesis? Did Adam choose his wife? No. God created a woman from his ribs and she became Adam's wife. See also 1 Corinthians 7:16-17. Did you not see the verses I quoted? Christians who marry unbelievers were recognized by...

    Christians and marriage

    The first camp who says not to be "unequally yoked" is incorrect because that verse in scripture is not even speaking about marriage but about idoltry. He told the Corinthians not to associate with unbelievers in their worship of idols (2 Corinthians 6:14-15). According to the Bible, Christians...

    Celebrate Halloween?

    How can it be symbolic for human sacrifice when all they did was build a bonfire to symbolize the "hope of keeping warm" when Winter comes. Samhain is a word that means "summer's end." It does not mean Satan. It simply means that the summer and harvest has come to an end and the beginning of...

    Celebrate Halloween?

    How do you know it is Satan when even God required His chosen people to sacrifice crops and animals? How easy it is to judge the pagans. The Americans also celebrate their new year with fireworks. Does fireworks have anything to do with Satan? How they celebrate is up to them, but Hallow's...

    Celebrate Halloween?

    No, it does not go back to Satanism. The Celts were pagans until the Christian missionaries came. HOW they celebrated the end of summer is in accordance to their pagan customs. So, what did you expect? Pagans are not Satanists who worship the devil. They're ignorant people who did not know...

    Celebrate Halloween?

    Anything that claims to go past their roots is not part of it. Hallow's Eve (which means "evening") has its roots in Samhain (which means "Summer's End). That is its origin and starting point. Hallow's Eve (October 31st) marks the end of the summer and the harvest to the Celts. November 1st...

    Celebrate Halloween?

    If it goes back before the time of Hallow's Eve, then it has nothing to do with Halloween or even Samhain. Also, your websites are all religious websites. The information I gave you on "Halloween" is from a group of scholars and researchers who developed the Oxford Dictionary of English folklore.

    God covers us with His righteousness:

    I agree. We can do nothing without God. When we have faith, it is the Holy Spirit who works in us. It is no longer us who works. We are the sons and daughters of God, and the sons and daughters of God do not sit around doing nothing. The sons and daughters of God were created to do the...
