    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It depends if you are reading the text with the intent to justify yourself. Either one can tilt toward appeasing the human ego (made), or make sure the text cannot be so twisted (fulfilled). In the case of the word "ginomai" one could choose either word in translation (made or fulfilled). What...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    A more biblical descriptive would be Pharisaical or hypocrite. But I know the sensitivity of many egos here.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Go back a few thousand years...BEFORE the corruption of the church into a religious system. And look at how the word "aphesis" translated as remission in the kjv (ex. Matt 26:28) ...and now has been altered bald-facedly as forgiveness ....in every other translation. It's what the people want...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    It should read " He was made to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might fulfill the righteousness of God in Him" In the text, it is wicked men who made Jesus to be sin...not God. And no one can BECOME God's righteousness for Him...but the Greek word "ginomai" means "to do". or "fulfill"...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The truth of that verse has been corrupted by translators just as many other passages have also been corrupted. It goes by what people WANT to hear rather than what's in the actual biblical text. All the translators are doing is giving people what they want by manipulatng the text away from it's...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    And...love for hate, good for bad. God responds as He is...not as we are. But His light also exposes our darkness...our evil. Will we allow His goodness to change our ways?

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    This is true. But the sinful adult will read the bible with a view to self-justification, complicating the narrative to the point where it is unrecognizable to the upright reader.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    The wisdom of God is greater than the folly of men trying to be wise. God catches people in their own design. While people read the bible to read into it whatever need they think they have, the bible is in truth interpreting them. It is written that the word of God is a DISCERNER of the thoughts...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You put your trust in men, not God. The devil's ministry is your own It is the work of men in translation. A translation is just a targum....an interpretation. You have to go to the original words for them to be inspired. That doesn't mean that the translations are devoid of truth. It just...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    You are too funny. Are you that naive? God did not translate the bible into English. Look at how poorly the bible is being translated today...and the translations always took away from the power of the words from God. I think maybe you are too naive to understand how the religious system works...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Total fabrication. It isn't the translators who were inspired, it was the original authors. And many times the translators take liberties to dull the word or twist it to their own agenda. But again, God takes men's evil and makes something productive with it. Of course it also exposes the false...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Why does God allow evil in the world? Why does He say not to resist evil? All things work together for good to those who are the called and love God. "But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." Gen...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Jesus IS the Lord spoken of in IS 53. The Lord supports the Lord...The Lord sends the Lord. But these work together. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and had committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:19...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I don't think you understand the crimes that Jesus allegedly committed. You are confusing being NUMBERED with criminals and actually being one. Jesus was seen as a dangerous heretic and blasphemer. The same reaction Jesus would get in todays churches. On "himself" . Jesus took on himself the...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    I find that the bible is mostly ignored in favour of whatever feeds an already accepted ideology come hell or high water.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Read the reaction to the words from Jesus. The false gospel so permeates the modern religious mindset that people think it as nothing to contradict Jesus both openly and defiantly. Willful sins are not covered unless one repents.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    Jesus became sin through a human interpretation of what He was teaching, seemingly condemning the most faithful followers of Moses. The same applies today. People honour Jesus with their mouths but their hearts aren't in it...they refuse Jesus' words and condemn those who repeat them. The...

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev 14:12 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 1 Cor. 7:19 If you love Me keep My commandments. Not all who say...

    Agree for once. That's why the believer is empowered by grace to fulfill the law as Jesus did...to overcome by the Blood (life) of the Lamb.

    Bible Study: The Gospel is in the Torah

    That is the great deception that those who hate the truth will believe to their condemnation. God has sent this great delusion...from a certain verse that is badly translated and poorly understood...and doesn't line up with ANY of the scriptures. Since you lack any wisdom you will not look to...
