Persians....

But it was Persians who were the Magi that brought the gifts to baby Jesus. The literal first ones to recognize His Kingship, authority, and majesty. I'm willing to help them out and I believe so is God.

Persians and Israelis have a LONG standing relationship of peacefully coexisting. They actually have gotten along well since Purim. (Book of Esther in scriptures) Daniel greeted Darius the Mede with a letter to Cyrus from the prophet Isaiah. There have been and will continue to be Jews...

Once you step outside of core truths.... We can allow for a lot of latitude. For example, When Jesus was on the cross you might believe He was croaking out the 22nd psalm OR He thought his Father was abandoning him. Are the two variations of beliefs legitimate? Yes. Are they a reason to...

And I'm out Peace

The SBC has had an answer to this.... They have a CONVENTION of like minded believers. There are varying differences between each individual Church. No one tries to force their unique beliefs onto the others....or else you become dis-invited. If you baptize babies....ok....just don't...

Historical narrative and word choices doesn't mean we have different bibles.... Consider the choices of words used in headlines in news articles.... Lawmakers bumped into each other today in heated disagreement... Senator Cotton was beaten and thrown down today by Bullys in congress. Similar...

Speaking directly to your point on translating.... There's something else that you need to consider. Politics and more specifically Christian politics. (It exists) There exists many theologies among various denominations that, while not critical for salvation, are defended vigorously and...

One last tidbit to add about this. One of the major quarrels here today and those almost 2,000 years ago is over words and wording in scriptures. Mind you they were using the Septuagint translation...not the Hebrew originals. Which as you and I both know was a horrible translation. No...

Paul, using poetic licence, Is using the words "faith" and our "theologies" interchangeably....as if they were the same word. There is zero doubt that our theologies (ideas and beliefs about God) are not perfect while on Earth. But will be perfected in Heaven and we all will align. But it...

I will remind you of the "Road to Damascus" incident..... That's what Paul was discussing.

So Explain to me how somone ends up there? You say that God created the universe.... Warned all people not to go there.... But they are still bent on going there. But somehow God is evil for creating Hell? Make your position make sense please.

The New Testament wasn't written....Paul was in process writing it to the various churches. Matthew was busy translating the first gospel into Greek. But likely hadn't finished even the Hebrew version when Paul was writing. So Paul quoted a lot of various Old Testament scriptures from...

The old Testament...specifically the Septuagint.

"Sigh" Once upon a time.... Not all that long ago.... A person seeking baptism and church membership would need classes so that the membership was knowledgeable about the faith they held And wouldn't make blunders. ONE of the 25 questions was this: Name three scriptures each for how Jesus...

I get that... And it's perfectly fine that you attend a small rural church. My church assists a lot of small rural churches with resources they cannot pull together themselves with various programs and services. But possibly you have been in membership of other churches in your lifetime...

So I'm guessing but it seems to me that few people on this Christian Forum actually live Christian lifestyles that includes actually being a regular, participating part of a Church body.... But yet somehow, even though they are in abject defiance of several of Jesus's commandments, believe...

First off, Those that don't go to church regularly are going to have zero knowledge on this subject. If you dont go, then you dont know. But of those that do go.... How is it for you when church staff changes? When senior pastor changes happen, the whole culture of the church changes...

How does someone go from being an ordinary average citizen.... To being a protester trying to murder federal agents? I understand that these protesters believe they are "saving" someone.... But saving them from what? For someone whose loyalties are suspect at best.... And it's at the expense...
