this debate just reminded me of why the hindu belief in reincarnation is illogical. They believe that reincarnation is an endless cycle of a persons life coming back as either a better human or a lesser animal depending on the persons actions during their lifetime. However, lets say i've made...

But at the last supper, Jesus said nothing about taking that bread as a sacrifice....he said keep doing this in 'rememberence' of him....not in sacrifice of him. Thats why the Apostle Paul said "for as often as you eat of it you are proclaiming the death of the lord" The purpose was to remember...

I understand that Isreal should have a land to call its own, absolutely. But I think they also need to be reasonable in how they attain that land and how much of the land they think should go to them. Have you seen how much land Isreal have control of compared to the tiny patch of ground they...

i question whether a christian should support any conflict no matter who is involved. not trying to start a war of words here, but seriously, there are palestinians who are christians over there and would any christian stand against their brothers??? I know it happens, but if christians are...

the verse you are quoting here comes from the night of the last supper or Lords Evening meal when the 12 apostles were gathered in the upper room for the passover celebration. Those words were spoken in private only to the 11 apostles (judas had already left the room by this stage) What you are...

I would say the warning is given for the same reason that an Isrealite who disgregarded the law of moses would be put to death. Because the person is dishonouring God when he dishonoured the law. The same it is with Jesus shed blood. If a christian were to treat is of little value, then they too...

its actually interesting to see what the Apostles had to say about it...they were the ones whom Jesus instructed so I beleive their view on it should be our view on it. In 1Corinthians 5:7-8 we are told that the 'festival' is to be kept. The last supper was held on the night of the jewish...

its good to read the entire bible, but it may not help you in understanding much about it. the best way to study the bible is with a study aid which discusses certain subjects and uses the bible to provide the answers. The subjects covered in study aids may be subjects such as: What is Hell...

for all we know, Noah may have used the ark for firewood when they got out....his 3 sons may have cut it up to make new homes for themselves lol :D

all i can say about healthcare is that Jesus gave out free healthcare to the needy so why shouldnt a govt who claims to be ruling for God give out free healthcare? The early congregations set money aside for the needy ones because God IS a socialist. Just look at the Mosaic law and you can see...

zionism is not going to save the world and God does not take sides in such greedy selfish conflicts. God removed his protection from Isreal a very long time ago (like when they killed their messiah) so its absolutely absurd to think that God is blessing america due to their relationship with...

the hebrew scriptures speak a lot about death. King Solomon, who was given his wisdom and understanding from God, says that the dead are not conscious of anything. He says they cannot hear, see, speak, feel, or think. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10. Vs 10 uses the word 'Sheol'....this is the same word...

historical records would have been kept by the patriachs of the families...Moses was a decendent of Shem and Noah so there is no reason why such family records were not available thru some family members back in egypt. Also the phrase moses uses a lot is “this is the history of,” and some...

i think Jesus himself showed that the wine and bread were only symbols of his body and blood at the last supper when he passed them around to his 11 apostles and said: "Take, eat, this MEANS my blood which is to be poured out on your behalf" He didnt give his apostles his blood to drink or a...

I have to say i think you may be under estimating the role of Angels in the service of God. Just as the role of humans is to serve God and bring him glory, so too is the angels role to serve God and bring him glory. I think it detracts from their dignity and purpose if they are refered to as...

If you go back into ancient history and ancient religions, there was always one who stood out as different. That was Judaism. The reason why they were different is because their God Yahweh was a real God who acted on their behalf the way no other worldly god did. The God of the hebrew bible...

Hi Celeste, I just wanted to let you know that I was moved by your honesty and I think its great that you are keen to learn about christianity. You may not realise this, but many early christians whom Jesus taught were also homosexuals and he did not deny them the opportunity to learn about...

i completely disagree. The mosaic law was not always going to remain in force. It was prophecied in the OT that its end would come when the messiah appeared to take its place. Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Look! There are days coming, . . . and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house...

Personally i dont believe animals will go to heaven. Yes animals have been created with good qualities and God called their creation 'good' but this does not make them worthy of heavenly life. For one, they do not have any capability for spirituality nor can you reason with a wild animal as if...

absolutely agree. Todays world is the culmination of the past. Sin was most definately where mankinds downfall began. Adam was originally created perfect which means he could perfectly reflect the qualities of God because he was created in the image of God. But when he turned away from Gods...
