where does this definition come from? did you make up yourself?

What do you define as a cult? As you mention various denominations, i would say you are talking about 'sects' .... which are not really cults even though the definition below includes them as such. Definition of cult from Online Dictionary:n.1. a. A religion or religious sect generally...

what does having faith in the promised Messiah have to do with the Mosaic law? Im sure you'd agree that Abraham had faith in the Messiah and yet which law code did he live by? Was it the Mosaic laws?? Im sure you know he didnt. So you have to separate the mosaic law from your idea of how...

because you said "Christians WERE in that covenant, they were just looking at it from the other side" Did you mean that chrisitians were in the Mosiac covenant?

Ah I see. Ok well you better start applying the mosaic law then. That includes offering a blood sacrifice every time you commit a sin and stoning your family members who turn to other religions, and stoning those around you who commit immorality and celebrating the Jewish festivals as set out...

who wrote the nicene creed? Was it the Apostles?

interesting how Jesus is called a 'priest' As we know a priest, he is a person who acts as a mediator between man & God Is it even logical that someone can act as a 'mediator' between himself and another?

im not sure which translation you are using here but if you compare it to some other translations you'll see that the salvation is an 'ongoing' process... its not an instant salvation. Notice in a few other translations it is rendered as 'being saved' 1Cor1:18 NIV, ASV, ESV, For the message...

Maybe you are wondering who is included in the new covenant and why a new covenant was needed? You might also wonder how one becomes a member of the new covenant and what happens to people who are not included in the new covenant?

I wouldnt say we are free from 'trying' because the mosaic law shows us Gods standards. They are beneficial for us in that we can determine how God views certain matters. But you have to realise that the mosaic law was only applicable to the Jews because they agreed to be joined to God under a...

the answer is that you cannot know you are saved until you actually ARE saved. Jesus told his disciples that they must 'endure until the end' Matthew 24:13 and if they endured until the end they would receive the gift of salvation. Enduring meant that they needed to keep their spiritual...

These are prophecies because they are events about the future that God revealed in advance. God promised that a 'seed' (this is a descendant/person) would cause injury to the serpent in the future. And to Abraham God revealed that it would be through his future descendants that the 'seed'...

Hi Truthlight The Hebrew scriptures do indeed lead us to Christ...the Messiah. It is through the prophets and leaders of the Isrealite nation that Gods word came to them to inform them of Gods plan to send the messiah. And within the Hebrew scriptures they recorded the events of their...

According to Pauls words women need only wear neat modest well arranged attire ... so long as its modest, then her personal choice and preferences as to the style of that attire is between herself and God. Thats what I'd tell him.

I just have one question. What would be the point in bringing everyone back from the dead, only to rouse on them and inflict death on them again? God is not that spiteful is he? Besides that, we are told that death is the end of sin. "The wages sin pays is death" said Paul at Romans...

The emphasis should be on 'IF WE SIN WILLFULLY' Of course there will be an adverse judgement given to those who are willful sinners because in order to benefit from jesus sacrifice, we must become followers of Christ in faith and work at doing good. A willful sinner is not following christ...

Yes it has. Under the mosiac law people were condemned to death for their sins. But God no longer holds our sins against us so as to require the death penalty. He forgives us on the basis of Jesus ransom sacrifice. So YES, the purpose of the mosaic law to highlight sin and death has come to...

how can it possibly be proven to have been the cloth Jesus was wrapped in? Someone may have been wrapped in it, but to say it was a specific person would require more then an unknown persons word for it. Many people were tortured and hung in the same fashion for centuries...especially in the...

the conclusion you are drawing is far from truthful and has nothing to do with how the hebrew reads. Do the jews read genesis in such a way as to think eve had sex with satan? No they dont....and they are native readers of hebrew. And Genesis 2 is where Adam names Eve. Gen 2:22 "God...

not according to the Apostle Paul who quoted one of the ten commandments when he was explaining that the mosaic law was no longer a requirement for Christians to follow. Romans 7:7 "What, then, shall we say? Is the Law sin? Never may that become so! Really I would not have come to know sin if...
