There is only one gospel, the gospel of the Kingdom, i.e. the rule of God where all will be restored again because of the fall. This entails sacrifice and salvation and all the other adjectives used for the gospel. Not sure what the disciples originally understood, but the the death and...

I have to do some research to see if they actually have a benchmark that they want to go by to lay the cornerstone. I know they have detailed blueprints of the temple, and of course all the artifacts made (as well as training the priests). There is some controversy where on the mount the...

Nancy, This one put out by the temple institute 3 years ago was always one of my favorites.

I concur (the passage in Hosea can also be used multiple ways for the 2 days). In addition, this is in agreement with predictions by Sir Isaac Newton. I'll just be turning 60 years old next year, and my "gut" tells me I may not see the end of days, but they won't be long after. Our generation...

Drinking is a sin if you think it is. That's because you believe (even if erroneously) that it is wrong so by doing that you are subjecting yourself to rebellion as if you are breaking a commandment, and as quoted in Romans, "whatever is not of faith is sin." Now, that said, drinking is NOT a...

There's a scam out there that a family member has fallen for, resulting in his closing his checking account and all his credit cards with potential identity theft. The article link below talks about the Chrome browser gets locked up with a "Microsoft" number to call to unlock your computer. Of...

Sure there's seemingly times when the Law was broken, but again, the context (spirit) of the Law and the action should be considered. Perhaps the title to this thread should be "obedience to God despite what it looks like". So what I am saying is that perhaps all these examples they were not...

Test all things; hold fast what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 How to get the criteria for the test: Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica...

A few things wrong with your assumptions. In the two examples you gave, God clearly says why he allowed the Israelites to drive out the inhabitants (clue: it's just the opposite of what you stated about the women and children). "Thou shalt not kill" is addressing murder. Someone taking a life...

The problem is sin that could result in sickness. If one drives a car recklessly and always coasts thru stop signs, goes a little faster than what it safe, cuts others off, and so forth (sins), then the result is oftentimes an accident (sickness). One who has too many accidents has to ask what...

Nobody's resorting to apocryphal books. They are an additional witness shedding light from another slant. For example, we know of the "star" prophecy in Numbers. Daniel knew about it, too. The apocryphal story just makes the connection verifying what the bible already said by putting a...

I have that book and also Bullinger's Witness of the Stars. The case was made from those authors about a new star in Coma the infant next to Virgo. The declination of the constellation was such that in Christ's time it would have shown overhead (planets are not vertical, or at their zenith...

And along that line, don't forget the mercy and lovingkindness I pointed out. I'm mainly into KJV of the bible but the translators of the NIV felt justified to use the word love in Psalm 89 depending on the translation one uses. I can't imagine anyone obtaining mercy and lovinglingdness and an...

My initial assumption (and I think it's reasonable) is if God did not love or forgive King David, he and his offspring would be cast away forever. David had in his heart to love and follow God's commands. Even when he sinned with Bathsheba, he repented -- not just feeling sorry but truly...

Tolerating is not the same as celebrating. LOL I said the rest of the family deals with it, yes, gifts and all. If I was alone I would not. But be patient. The pressures are strong and we're working on it together. Still, I don't believe the Lord approves of this holiday supposedly in His name.

Right! I take strength in this passage when people try to judge me for keeping the feasts. He was saying to those who keep them not to let other tell them the manner of doing so. In like manner pertaining to non-biblical feasts Paul also said, But now, after that ye have known God, or...

Wow! You are describing yourself. I challenge you what scriptures I am twisting? From my end, it's the observation that you celebrate Christmas not in the bible. So who's twisting what here?

It's man's nature to want to categorize a person, to fit them into a slot. No, I'm not that, either. And I don't know what you are either other then the fact you claim you are Christian but don't follow "Jewish" feasts, but this abomination called Christmas. They are not Jewish feasts. They...

And one other thing. I am a Christian. Perhaps Messianic, not Gentile, but not caught up in man-made festivals that are not biblical. If you want to hit hard at people for not obeying other scriptures they don't observe, then you batter be following them yourself. That's only commonsense.

Yeah, I did, but don't agree. You forgot this part from wiki: Many popular customs associated with Christmas developed independently of the commemoration of Jesus' birth, with certain elements having origins in pre-Christian festivals that were celebrated around the winter solstice by pagan...
