    Major contradiction: John 2 versus Matthew 4

    John is the only Gospel that doesn’t include the account which you are speaking of, it includes John and the Baptism, but not the wilderness. Perhaps John, had read and seen the Letters of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and perhaps did not see a need to comment on that tidbit which Jesus had gone...

    Why is the book of Revelation so hard to read and understand?

    Sorry sometimes I’m not perfect in my words, and thank you for your kind and apt response. I would agree we aren’t at liberty to murderer or steal or cheat or manipulate people. I was just trying to show you where it does speak about people becoming free in the Lord Yeshua. There is not a doubt...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    When it comes to Satan, is that not just more of a title than a name. Many claim Lucifier is the name of Satan. However, I do not for some reason believe that is truly a mistranslation and also not a reference to anyone but a King 'concering how far one had fallen.' Then again I need to do my...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    It's a joy to know that God lives in us, and that one day we hope to go be with him in the hereafter, where He resides, which is of course spiritual. It's fine that you see that I am firm in what has been stated prior. Thanks, Rella.

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Why would Jesus coming back, ever make you still not desire to have him in your life? Is my question. My personal belief is that Jesus has conquered all things, and by and through him, we allow him to conquer over our own selfish will and way.

    How would a nuclear war between Russia and the US affect you?

    Is it my war to begin with? America done tired two bombs out on Japan, for Pearl Harbor, wasn’t it? You see how that ended up, it seems they did rebuild afterwards?

    Contrasts between Old Testament, and Apostolic Record

    I believe this pictures here are what comes from Jesus and his victory, we have God, Yahavah, becoming our Father through adoption. I’m not sure I hear Father pertaining to God in the Old Testament. It was only until when Jesus was sent, being the Word made flesh. We find out we are to call out...

    What’s wrong with Personal Sanctification?

    ”Then his followers said, “You are already speaking plainly to us. You are not using words that hide the meaning. We can see now that you know all things. You answer our questions even before we ask them. This makes us believe that you came from God.” Jesus said, “So now you believe? Listen to...

    Why is the book of Revelation so hard to read and understand?

    “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1). “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

    Did God resurrect Moses and Elijah already?

    Jesus spoke to his Apostles about how John was in the spirit of Elijah. The one promised in Malachi to prepare the way for the LORD, which consist of the Day, the great and dreadful day of the LORD which would be judgement upon Israel. When on the mountain top, Jesus spoke to his disciples who...

    Why is the book of Revelation so hard to read and understand?

    You are free in liberty of the Lord, to decide for yourself. No disappointment here.

    Why is the book of Revelation so hard to read and understand?

    Many people, do not discern the whole age which Christ had came into. If Christ is coming back today, then all people should be in mandate and prepared in everything the Gospel shares, and including the letters in order to be sure ready. It’s missing a whole cultures, and peoples, who died for...

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    Okay. He desires us as his children to walk and mature in Christ. God is simple pleased by faith, and not more faith. Its Jesus who makes people right with his Father. They are baptized in the holy spirit and fire through the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Then God works from...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    Do you still have that version? I would really like to own one. Went to the local bible store the other morning, and they did not have one.

    Does obeying the commandment to love Yahavah, first and to love your neighbor as yourself ; null feelings?

    Hobie, do a lot of people ask that question? Some say God chooses the person and they had nothing to do with it, and forces the rest of all mankind to go to hell.

    Once saved, always saved is a myth.

    It comes down to the heart for me, Marymog. Always the heart, and there are many different measures of faith towards God, some not so close, some kind of far off, perhaps some very close than the rest. I believe the heart is moved by God when a person starts to seek him in faith, and in time...
