Embalming and casket burial are pagan rituals. Jewish preservation customs are simple. Embalming and cremation were generally not allowed, as they were seen as mutilation of the body. As described in the scriptures, preparation for burial consisted of wrapping the body and the application of...

I, too, am glad I did not die in my sins and foolishness. I frequently thank God for allowing me to live long enough to recognize my sins, confess them as sins, repent and renounce them, and rejoice in His love and mercy.

Your modernist philosophy negates the holiness of God’s inspired, inerrant Word.

If the OT writers were not inspired by God, have you thrown your Bible in the garbage?

You state that OT writers lie.

You avoid answering the question of Christians killing enemies, or praying for their deaths, by mentioning the Lord punishing a sorcerer with temporary blindness, Alexander the coppersmith reaping what he sowed, and Psalms-based imprecatory prayers. None of which have anything to do with...

As my wife and I entered a church that we were leaders in, the pastor greeted us, saying, “We have to kill the mullahs!” He exhibited some other bizarre behaviors, so we quit that church. When church leaders talk about killing enemies, or pray for God to kill enemies, the Spirit of Christ has...

I find AI to be worthless. When I google a topic, an AI overview will appear, but I generally do not trust it and I prefer to visit websites for more info. AI is despicable when you consider how the AI data centers are starting to burn up power grids and suck up all our clean water. For what...

So Jesus says things, like “Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit” that He doesn’t believe? The body of Jesus was mangled and crucified, but His spirit was committed to the Father as He breathed His last breath.

Jesus believed this view you call pagan. Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit.” And having said thus, He gave up the ghost.

Cremation is not a problem. Many Christian’s martyrs were burned at the stake. God can pull our atoms back together to resurrect us. Burial in Bible times was rather different from what is done today. Dead bodies were put in caves, then the bones put into boxes. Preserving a body by embalming...

Do you have a homeless person living with you?

When did I say that melancholy was best? I simply said the fruit of the Spirit are not feelings. They are spiritual qualities that affect the flesh, but do not reside there as emotions.

Long before Ignatius, Christianity was seen as a distinct religion apart from Judaism. The apostle Paul spoke of the difference by calling Judaism “the Jews’s religion” in contrast to the church. Galatians 1 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that...

It didn’t take long for the Christians to realize that they were existing as a separate religion from Judaism. So they met in homes and catacombs, rather than the temple and synagogues.

We are not living in the Old Testament administration. We cannot “skip Jesus for now”, for we are Christians who follow Jesus, not Moses or Joshua. We cannot apply the Old Testament policies to current issues. We must apply the teachings of Jesus to our present lives and modern realities.

But it is simple in regard to how Christians should live. Jesus told us what to do: Turn the other cheek. Love your enemies. Do good unto those who abuse you. Pray for those who persecute you. Resist not an evil man. Blessed be the peacemakers. Put away thy sword. Live by the sword, die...
