    The Beast Revelation

    That command was before His death and resurrection, which tore down the barrier between Jew and gentile. After Jesus rose from the dead, He expanded the command to include all peoples. Matthew 28:19,20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father...

    The Chosen

    Yes, Italian with English subtitles, by Pasolini, an atheist Marxist. I like it it the best, along with the Gospel of John film. Here is the English version of Pasolini’s film.

    The Beast Revelation

    But it was the original Jewish disciples of Jesus who evangelized gentiles as they spread the gospel to all nations, as Jesus commanded them to do. If you traced back the roots of how the gospel came to you, at the beginning it was Jews who took the gospel to the world. Paul, Peter, John...

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    When a person keeps asking questions, but trashes any answers that are provided, and insults the individuals trying to help them understand, the purpose of the questioning becomes clear.

    The Chosen

    If you refer to the 1964 film by Pasolini, I agree on it being really good.

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    You ask questions. When people try to provide an answer, you call them names. You have already decided that nobody can answer your questions. Yet you continue to ask questions. This is a game few will feel like playing along with. Have fun!

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    A human is a father by having a son. Both father and son are human, but are distinct persons, not the same person. God is a Father who has a Son. Both Father and Son are God, but are distinct persons, not the same person. We as Christians accept by faith that God is a complex triune entity...

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    It would be nice if individuals who sincerely wanted to express their confusion, ask questions, and learn would do so politely. Those who just want to stir up strife and mock the Bible are clearly seen.

    Why does mainstream Christianity believe that it's "unorthodox" to teach that Jesus will unite ALL things to himself?

    So you believe the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars deserve to go to heaven? Okay. Your religion is not Christianity. Revelation 21 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God...

    Why did Jesus pray to himself?

    Your question is theologically confused. The Son of God prayed to the God the Father. Both are God, but they are not the same person. Because the Word was with God and the Word was God. Christian do not teach that one God puts on 3 different outfits. God is one being in 3 persons. Matthew...

    Why does mainstream Christianity believe that it's "unorthodox" to teach that Jesus will unite ALL things to himself?

    Jesus saves all those who trust in Him. Those who hate Christ and refuse to stop being sinful have decided they do not want salvation. John 3 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For...

    Why does mainstream Christianity believe that it's "unorthodox" to teach that Jesus will unite ALL things to himself?

    Do these verses indicate that all people, including sinners who never repented, will be united in Christ? Revelation 21 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    You are very confused. The Holy Spirit is a distinct person in the Trinity. He is not God the Father and the Son of God combined together spiritually. At the baptism of Jesus, God the Father uttered His voice and the Holy Spirit came down like a dove. 3 different persons acting in unity of...

    Of what value is retribution against humankind to God? - Love your enemies?

    Our souls are either compatible with darkness or compatible with light. We determine our eternal afterlife destination and design it by our acts in this life. We either get born again and live in obedience to God … or we reject salvation and delight in sin. Live in darkness now, live in...

    The Beast Revelation

    By the 5th century B.C., Greek thinkers like Pythagoras, Empedocles, and Anaxagoras proposed a spherical Earth. Aristotle later supported this with evidence, such as the curved shadow of Earth on the moon during lunar eclipses. It does not matter what shape they thought the earth was, or what...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Crusaders were not martyred, they were killed by superior forces. If you are attacking people and die in the fight, you are no martyr. A serial killer is not martyred when a cop shoots them dead. A martyr is someone who does not fight back when attacked, and thus dies for their faith...

    Parents detained by ICE reunite with son in Mexico the day before he dies with cancer ;(

    Illegal immigrants who cross our borders unlawfully are violating this. Romans 13:1,2 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the...

    Do we have free will or are we predestined?

    Those who deny free will, do they feel like robots, with no responsibility for their decisions and actions? If so, they can never be convicted of personal sin. They assume every thought and deed of theirs was predestined, so they are not at fault. We must believe in free will so as to...

    How Long Do You Date Before You Get Married?

    My wife and I dated for 3 months, then got married, but we were both on our second marriage and were in our 50s. We had some maturity and a background of miserably bad first marriages. For younger people, 6 months of dating sounds better, but who can really regulate the development of romantic...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Christian martyrs did not defend themselves. They did not resist evil. The blood of the martyrs are the seeds of the church. Not a single believer in Acts ever used a sword against those who were persecuting, stoning, whipping, imprisoning Christians. None of church epistles mentions any sword...
