    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Steven, your hypothetical question doesn't interest me. It assumes I believe there is an author when I could not be a believer in the first place. Why do you like to do what seems like knocking the bible around for?

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    You wrote you supposedly love to read your bible everyday. And to your response I did not say worship the bible. Steven. How else is a person gonna learn about Jesus? I had to take my own dive in it at 26, and I didnt know all the things I would end up learning today. Still room to grow, grow...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    My encouragement for any new reader of the bible to start with Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and just get surrounded with the theme that is going on. The bible is hard for some to understand, because it takes time to really get intuned with knowing it. Some give up even reading it sometimes...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Okay then. Faith is trusting and hoping that God is even there, when you do not believe he is. That is all I know, Steven, you obviously have your own view, and that is totally okay with me. I am not a Christian, but a Yeshuan, and I do believe that people can and do decide if they believe in...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Let me just put it to you this way, from within the heart, a person refuses to even believe in God, or even incorporate the Living God into ones own life. Between you and me it's a huge if 'God' exist. I believe that He exist. What can you tell me about what is in a persons heart to begin with...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    That restoration you mention is intact today, God has reconciled the world unto himself through Christ, all things have been placed beneath Christ, even the last enemy death. Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets, and he fulfilled his return, and overcoming sat with his fathet in his throne...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Its all about worshipping Yahava, in spirit and truth, if possible live in peace with all mankind. Loving one as your ownself is to share wisdom and knowledge. Loving God first is the choice. A good defintion of what love looks like is found in 1 Corinthians 13. The bible is good and useful...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    My thoughts are it was a great question. There are people who do not give a damn about God, or Jesus at all, Steven. From my perspective, God is calling by the spirit and the bride daily, and Gods creation, shows forth his glory. There are people who reject. Not God. Its by a willful admission...

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    What about it? Many people today are part of being in the Kingdom of God by adoption, part of Spiritual Israel, Heavenly Jerusalem, which is by faith,in the Son of God. Jesus was promised to come, and he did so to gather he bride and bring forth, The wrath of God which was carried out upon those...

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    Well in hindsight, People go and do the work of God, and you cant just right offly dismiss the people addressed. Therefore the generation which Jesus came back was the bride, the chosen generation and the other generation was destined for destruction brought on by the promises of God for their...

    The answer is yes. However Jesus has saved all people from sin, death, and hades. There is the inside and outside to the kingdom.

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    People also have to incorpate who is being spoken to of those letters. “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the choice sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience...

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    People today all become part of the kingdom by faith in Jesus @rwb, idk why the hell people keep waiting, why not enjoy being part of the kingdom because of adoption. Live life, die move forward, allowing God to work in and through you, by abiding in Christ.

    Did Jesus raise hiself from the dead or did God yhe father raise him

    I believe that sometimes God spoke through Jesus, I believe that God rose his Son up from the dead by the holy spirit.

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    Depends on how one defines generation. For me the biblical stance is 40 years.

    The Last Generation IS the Generation of the Parable of A Fig Tree

    That fig tree was representive of Israel, in that day in age producing no fruit. And the death of them was coming, in that generation, which Jesus spoke of.
