    Jacob and Esau

    God didn’t hate Esau. Jesus said we aren’t worthy of Him unless we hate our parents and our whole family. There’s your clue that was a Jewish idiom of that day, that means to love less, not to literally hate. Jeremiah 18, the potter and clay chapter that Paul was quoting in Romans 9, makes...

    Tithing

    Malachi 3 is old covenant- not relevant to the new covenant - might as well go whole-hog and sacrifice animals, too, if they’re stuck in the old covenant.

    Who Falls From Grace & Who Falls Short Of It?

    How many times can it happen? However many times a Christian falls into a life of sin, dies spiritually and is lost again, and comes to their senses and repents. The prodigal son was dead in his sins and lost, while out in the world living in sin. In the prodigal son story, the father...

    Who Falls From Grace & Who Falls Short Of It?

    No, it does not rule everyone out. A born again believer has a daily choice whether to yield to the flesh and sin, or follow the spirit that dwells within them, and when they fail and sin, repent of it, or continue to live in that sin, without repentance. Those that choose to live an immoral...

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    Jesus Baptizes us with the Holy Spirit and Fire, but also commanded the apostles to make disciples of all men and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in Matthew 28:19. Water baptism is a ritual we are expected to undergo if possible, as part of our public confession of...

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    Except at the last supper/first communion. Jesus said to eat the bread and drink the wine, as a remembrance of Him, and it took place before He went to the cross and shed His blood and gave His flesh for us - plus He also drank the wine and ate the bread, further indicating the ritual being...

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    Looks like there’s another term for your belief system: Gnosticism, since you accept the gnostic gospel forgery called the gospel of Thomas. I’ve read that gnostic book, and it reads like whoever wrote it was tripping on hallucinogenic drugs - it reads nothing like accepted biblical books...

    The Wrath of the Lamb

    You need to pay attention to what Jesus does when He returns as the lion of the tribe of Judah. You’ve decided God has no wrath and hatred of sin, and has no anger against evil doers, which is an unbiblical view. The graphic descriptions in scriptures such as the last text I cited to you...

    How to be Saved - The ONLY way to Become Born Again...

    All means all. All have a measure of faith, Jesus draws all men. Romans 1 is about reprobates who fell away because of their sins, per tge warning in Hebrews 3 to the brethren, that the deceitfulness of sin hardens hearts until they DEPART from the living God. And Calvinism is an insult of...

    How to be Saved - The ONLY way to Become Born Again...

    Your problem is that in Romans 10:8-13 it specifically says that it’s how the apostles say we are saved. Calvinism is refuted several ways: 1. Scripture says God gives all men a measure of faith. Romans 12:3 2. Romans 10:17 goes on to say that faith comes from hearing the word of God. 3...

    The Wrath of the Lamb

    Crush grapes and wine comes out. Those destroyed by Jesus are metaphorically grapes in the wine press of the wrath of God, and blood flows instead of wine: Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron...

    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    God didn’t confuse languages, he created many different languages when He dispersed those at the Tower of Babel, which confused their ability to band together again. God didn’t put confusion in the languages, but in the people, by giving them so many different languages - that doesn’t mean...

    The Wrath of the Lamb

    Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of...

    How to be Saved - The ONLY way to Become Born Again...

    Romans 10:8-13 differs with your claim. Confess with your mouth your belief in your heart, and call on His name, and you will be saved. When we are saved, regeneration occurs.

    Tithing

    Anytime someone quotes the Malachi 3 passage, they are already in error. It’s the wrong covenant and wrong tithe. The Malachi 3 tithe was not money. It was a tithe of livestock, grain, vegetables, and fruit - not money - and it was to feed the Levitical priests. The food was taken to a barn...

    Jacob and Esau

    Sorry that your understanding is so limited on this. First of all, a grave image is an idol of a false God- Jesus is not a false God. Secondly, God told Moses to put that serpent on a pole - it was a symbolic foreshadow of Jesus, as Jesus made clear in the scripture I posted, that just as the...

    Ephesians 3. Paul vs The Other Apostles & Prophets

    That’s how I interpreted it, yes.
