    Hi Rex, Scripture does not lie.

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    Axehead, So now 'you' say that punctuation is not important in scripture unless it goes along with what 'you' say. Have a good day!

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    axehead, You have indeed quoted scripture. But we should notice that the word truth is not capitalized so it is not used in place of God. Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    Axehead, The devil is a liar, that is a fact. I can't find the scripture for how the devil will separate us from God, but I know that he will lie. Sometimes the lie is because we don't know scripture. Correct when you say "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free" but does one...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    Hi Steve, I will try to explain the points you asked. But what might sound simple, took me months to understand fully. 1. Read the Bible as if it was written to and about the people that it either points out or it is addressed to. Actually that is exactly what it does. For example the book of...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Truth, Do we have it?

    Truth, is it important? How does Jesus explain Truth? Truth, Jesus is equal to God! Joh 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Joh 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his...

    If you believe that the church is the bride of Christ, then.....

    Before the Church, God was married to the Jews. Jer 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: God would divorce Judah as he had Israel because they went a whoring after...

    God isn’t finished with Israel yet!

    Hi eprom61, Sometimes using scriptures, one does away with other scriptures that speak of the same things. We want all the scriptures to agree with each other. 1. The promises to Israel were conditional. 2. Not all the children of Israel are of Israel. Rom 9:6 Not as though the word of God...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Types and Shadows of Things to Come

    Moses in the old testament is compared as one who was like Jesus. He, at the Lord's command went into Eqypt to bring the children out of the land of Egypt to the promise land. After reaching the land that God had promised, there was a scouting party that went into that promise land and when they...

    How is it that in the beginning in Genesis 2 when God created the 1st Adam and Eden....

    Hi afaithfulone, After studying Heaven and Earth in the New Testament and found it to be speaking of the people and the Temple, in Jerusalem. My primary source was not by my study as much as it was by a Jewish Hebrew Scholar and educator here in America. She wrote an article about Jacob's...

    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    Good morning Alan, I had thought about just ignoring your question, but it is my testimony about God's love and I will share it. I was not in church when there came a time in my life that I knew I needed God. I actually got on my knees and ask God to save me, for I certainly was lost. A short...

    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    Hi Alan, Yes I am a Christian. 1. A Christian is foremost a believer in Jesus Christ. 2. Not just that he lived, but that his word is true. 3. That he directed the interpretations of the original scriptures to the point that if they were wrong then nobody has ever been saved. 4. That no one...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Works of Law vs Works of Grace

    Hi williemac, Sometimes quoting scripture about subject matter is revealing to people. To others it is like a brick wall. Let me point out that Jesus does not expect us to know everything in the bible but he wants us to keep an open mind. I have been living for God for forty-seven years and...

    Hermeneutics 101 - Works of Law vs Works of Grace

    Hi williemac, What you have done in your response is to state your opinion. I also stated my opinion when using the word 'obedience' because that seemed to fit what the scriptures say. Let us go a little further with a few more scriptures. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord...

    BAPTISM FOR THE WRONG REASON

    Hi Logabe, You made good points in your response to Alanforchrist. Please allow me to add to that. Hi Alanforchrist, There is not always enough scripture to show exactly why something happens when we do as the scripture says. The reason one does what he does for Christ is obedience by faith...

    What is it that gives us Life?

    You ask. What is it that gives us life? When Adam ate from the forbidden tree, he died that day spiritually, for God had told him that he would die the day he ate. That happened because on that day he was taken out of the garden in which there was also the tree of life. Without that he had...
