" by faith Abraham as good as offered up his son isaac and it was counted to him as righteous and by faith Rahab the harlot let the spies out by another way" Works of faith are the things we do which display's our belief and trust in God. Why was Abraham willing to sacrifice his son? because...

The first-century Jewish historian Josephus referred to the stoning of “James, the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ.” The Jewish Antiquities, Josephus, Book XX, chpter 9 paragraph 1 Tacitus is a respected Roman historian who lived during the latter part of the first century C.E...

that has been proved to be a fake. You wont find evidence for Christ in things of this nature.

so christians are to have no responsibility when it comes to what they believe they should simply accept every word they hear from preachers without question?

I love this verse and the way Paul explains why we are not under the mosaic law. It explains how the prophecy from Jeremiah 31:31-34 applies “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it.” When those of faith 'choose' to walk by spirit, they carry out no fleshly desire...

this isnt really about christians discussing scripture or debating doctrines....its about wasting our time debating with non believers who have no intention on hearing the word with an open heart. Those sorts of people will not accept the word of God no matter how much we try to show them so...

I cant say if he was Jesus in the flesh or not, but there is no indication in the OT that Melchizedek was Jesus in the flesh. However, Jesus is said to come in the 'manner of Melchizedek' because Melchizedek was appointed by God to be both priest and King of Salem. He is the only King Priest...

And who do you think encouraged and blessed the soldiers in the war effort? Why did the church have chaplains for the soldiers? Why were the church's offering prayers for Hitler at all their services in harmony with the concordant? And why would the vatican enter into any agreement with...

because revelation is not speaking literally about the 12 tribes of Israel....and i know many will disagree with that...the listing is not for the purpose of identifying fleshly Jews by their tribes but to show that the 144,000 will have a similar organizational structure as natural isreal...

I think i have already agreed with you that 'initially' the kingdom was offered to those of Jewish ancestry so of course I agree with that. Daniels prophecy testifies to that fact at Daniel 9:24-27 “There are seventy weeks that have been determined upon your people and upon your holy city, in...

but the oral traditions were not the written laws....they were the laws invented and 'added' to the mosaic law. That is why Jesus said "you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition" One example is with regard to divorce. The oral traditions allowed a man to divorce his...

The problem with applying a literal interpretation to Revelations is that Revelation 1:1 says "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John"...

I did read it, but it sounds to me to be a contradiction. You did say there are only two peoples in this world - Jews and Gentiles. However, according to Paul there is neither Jew nor Gentile....the reason for that is because to be a 'Jew' has nothing to do with Abraham. Being a Jew has to...

If you consider the Gospel of Jesus to be the proclamation that the 'Kingdom of Heaven is at hand', then yes...that is the gospel in which Abraham showed faith. Of Abraham, Paul said at Hebrews 11:8 "By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed in going out into a place he was destined to...

what do you think the 'oral law' is?

yes it certainly is. Im a parent and I would like to know that my children will not simply leave the nest and never have another thought of me or how I raised them. Hopefully I will only ever 'imagine' how painful that would be to be treated that way... I treated God that way when I was...

Im sorry but I still dont see how you put it in context. There are a number of areas which are not in agreement with the scriptures such as "God made promises (covenants) to Abraham concerning what He would do for him and his children...the jews" However, the promise made to Abraham did not...

which part of what I said is untrue? that the religious leaders based their truth on their own interpretation of the sciptures, ie the oral tradition or that they had deviated from the written word? it only matters which bible if one is not prepared to research it properly.

The uncircumcised Abraham was specially chosen by God to be the father of the Messiah because he had faith in God. Genesis 22:16-18 God says to Abraham: ‘by reason of the fact that you have done this thing and you have not withheld your son, your only one, 17 I shall surely bless you and I...

politics have always been greatly influenced by the church leaders....they still are today although it seems the governments are now, finally, trying to push religious influence out of parliament. On October 3, 1935, Italy invaded Abyssinia with what would appear to be the Catholic Church's...
