Not that it matters much, but if you're referring to Ruth, the Moabites were descendants of "righteous " Lot, the nephew of Abraham. Not all the followers of the God of Abraham were Hebrews. Even the Ishmaelites worshipped the same God, including the father in law of Moses, Jethro of Midian. In...

Some already do.

And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26 This verse tells us 2 things, the word Christian was first used to describe...

I don't believe in "replacement " theology at all and base my understanding on what the Holy Spirit teaches me through His word, but the Apostle Paul teaches very plainly that the law was as a tutor ( under the ministry of Angel's) until that time when the inheritor of all things appeared...

31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which...

Jesus didn't go out into the wilderness to fast 40 days, but scripture says He was lead out by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil. The fasting is relevant to the Lord's testing because Israel was tested in the wilderness during the Exodus and failed miserably, grumbling over God's...

The term "sinners of the gentiles " didn't refer to some subset of the gentiles, but all of them. The 1st century Jews looked at all the gentiles, those outside the covenant of law, as sinners by nature (and they weren't wrong in that either.) However, they saw themselves as the inheritors of...

Good attempt at supporting a contrived doctrine, but plucking verses out of context and reinterpreting them to mean something other than what they mean in context is called eisogesis (as opposed to exegesis) and is how cults are built. A guy named Chuck Smith built a huge Cultic following based...

Messiah doesn't mean king. You might want to get a concordance. The word means "anointed" and applies to kings, priests, and prophets. Jesus was all three, but He said that His kingdom was not of this world (John 18:36). Maybe you just need to read the bible carefully and think about it a bit...

How were you born again?

What moral standards exist today? Lots of people have religious standards and sometimes those religious standards include moral standards, but there are no worldwide universal beliefs in anything, not even in those things that people see with their own eyes, or hear with their own ears.

Ok, but your standard of judgment will be applied to you. I would hope that your judge has more than a a few paragraphs about your life and that you're as righteous as you imagine yourself to be.

Isaiah's passage on the judgment of Edom: “For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment. 6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of...

Death in the spiritual sense is separation from God.

You don't have to argue with me, it's the word of God that you're in disagreement with.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose Roman's 8:28

I'm pretty sure that they can just turn to Christ in faith and it does happen for some.

Don't let loneliness make your choices for you. I made that mistake and it cost me dearly. Seek friendship in Christian fellowship and the Lord will provide for your need. Be careful to remember Paul's warning and avoid seeking a partner outside the faith. That rarely works out well. Don't be...

The reward of the saints and the judgment of the heavenly host.

The KJV translation of Matthew 24:3 is considered erroneous and even the New King James Version goes with the more literal translation: 3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your...
