Hello Richard, How is it foolishness when one speaks about the Bible? It is never foolish to speak about the Bible. Also, it is not a distraction because you originally speak about two different gospels. As I said in my previous post. There is only one Good News. The Gospel was brought to...

My brother, nowhere in any of my posts did I ever say that water baptism was a requirement. I said that water baptism came from God and not from man. It was God who ordered St. John the Baptist to baptize, and Christ allowed His disciples to carry on this same practice. And to this day, we...

My brother, it never mattered whether a person is circumcised or not. That is the entire message in all of St. Paul's letters. Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. As you can see in the above Scripture...

My brother, St. Paul NEVER said that the Jews did not have to keep the Jewish law." He said that the Gentiles did not have to keep the Jewish law. And all the Apostles agreed. The Gentiles did not have to keep the Jewish law. As for the Jews who believe in Jesus Christ, they can circumcise...

Water cleansing in the Old Testament is not the same as John's water baptism. St. John the baptist was baptising for the forgiveness of sins. Water cleansing in the Old Testament is done to purify the body because the person ate something that was unclean, touched something that was unclean...

Hello Fivesense, We need to look at what and why the Scripture is saying this. First of all, it doesn't say that the Jews do not sit at the same table to eat with the Gentiles. As you can see from the Scripture that you quoted above (which I placed in bold), St. Peter did eat with the...

Hello Richard, Actually, Pegg asked you about baptism. She asked, "If you say gentiles dont need to be baptized, why would God request Peter to do so?" That was the question. And by the way, there was no baptism in the Old Testament. Baptism started in the New Testament with St. John the...

My brother, why would they be mad? In the first place, the first Christians were the Jews themselves. St. Peter, who was a believing Jew, did say that it is through the grace of Jesus Christ that they will be saved in the same manner as the Gentiles (Acts 15:11). This is recorded in the...

I agree.. The Law of circumcision is a Mosaic law. The rest of the Apostles agreed with St. Paul that the law of circumcision has nothing to do with salvation. This is why St. James and the rest of the Apostles agreed that it's okay for the Gentiles not be to circumcised because circumcision...

Hello Richard, If St. Paul preached a different gospel, then perhaps you can explain why St. Paul had Timothy who was a Gentile circumcised. Acts 16:1-3 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who...

Hello Fivesense, You only quoted parts of Scripture. You left out the rest. This is what Scripture says, including the part that you left out. Acts 11:19-20 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch...

Hello Ahigerway, For me, I've always found it difficult to forgive than to ask for forgiveness. I am the kind of person who takes responsibility for what I say and do. So, if I know that I've done something wrong or hurt someone, I always ask that person to forgive me. However, when I am...

Yes, that is true! Thank you for reminding me. Jerusalem has always been a place of conflict for thousands of years. :)

There's always been tension between Israel and the Palestinians. They have been fighting for over 50 years. The world, including the Pope, would like to see peace between these two, but I don't know how that's going to happen yet. There is so much bitterness between the two.

I agree. Like all of mankind, he was formed in God's image. It is right to pray for those who persecuted us. A true Christian of Christ does not persecute back in retaliation. A true Christian of Christ forgives and prays for their persecutors. :) Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are they that...

Peace be with you. In Christ, Selene

Hello Richard, I never ignored Galatians 2:6-10. My brother, you misinterpreted the Scripture. You thought that St. Paul was to go ONLY to the Gentiles and St. Peter was to go ONLY to the Jews. You misinterpreted Scripture because as the Bible shows you, St. Paul also preached to the Jewish...

Hello Richard, All 12 Apostles went to the Gentiles. Christ told all of them to go out into the world and Christ does not go back on His word because He is Truth. However, it was St. Paul who converted and baptized MOST of the Gentiles; therefore, we call him the Apostle of the Gentiles...

Hello Skyangel, You are correct when you say that God sends the sun and rain on the JUST AND THE UNJUST. It is not only on the Just. I don't go against God's Word. God is omniscient. He is All-Knowing. He knows everything because He hears and sees everything. To say that He only hears...

I have not yet met anyone who prays to the devil. And as for Christopher Hitchens, he is certainly not a devil worshipper. An atheist doesn't worship anything, not God and not even the devil. If there are people who worship the devil, we will know them by their fruits as Christ said. You...
