Also consider that the Israelites unknowingly acted out another type that pointed forward to Jesus’ crucifixion. In Number 2 [NRSV] God directs how the Israelites should camp: 1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 The Israelites shall camp each in their respective regiments, under...

What has Genesis 2:7 got to do with the seventh day? Genesis 2:7 (WEB): (7) Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. What it says in Genesis about the seventh day is: Genesis 2:1-3 (WEB): (1) The...

You can either believe God or the changing theories of men. The latest scientific theories estimate the age of the universe to be no more than about 10,000 years old - much closer to what the Bible says. That is based on the realisation that the speed of light is not constant as the "experts"...

I was responding to your statement "I don't think those time frames are literal", i.e. to the text which I had quoted in my post. By quoting the passages from Exodus it is clear that God claimed to have created the heavens and the earth in six days, where each day was a normal earth day...

From the 10 commandments, Exodus 20 (WEB): (1) God spoke all these words, saying, (8) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) You shall labor six days, and do all your work, (10) but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son...

Jesus started by saying, Matthew 24:4 (WEB): (4) Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray. also Matthew 7:15 (WEB): (15) “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. The nonsense that you wrote in your post makes me...

keithr said: Everyone is redeemed and resurrected. Yes. The redemption price was accepted by God when Jesus ascended to God after his resurrection. The merit of Jesus' sacrifice is applied to Christians when they believe and are baptised, so that they are considered to have eternal life...

If you believe that the Bible is God's word to us, written by Him through men, as the apostle Paul certainly did - 2 Timothy 3:16 (WEB): (16) Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, then if you think that...

Romans 6:23 (WEB): (23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John 3:16 (WEB): (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. The Greek word...

I think you have misunderstood what Jesus was saying here. He was responding to the questions in verse three - Matthew 24:3 (WEB): (3) As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of...

The dead bodies of criminals who had been executed, were thrown into the valley of Gehenna, where fires were kept constantly burning, so the bodies will have been burnt and utterly destroyed. Jesus and his disciples used Gehenna to symbolise eternal destruction, annihilation, or the "second...

Paul wrote, 2 Timothy 3:16 (WEB): (16) Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, "Every Scripture" includes the genealogies recorded in those Scriptures. Paul dosen't say we should ignore some parts of...

All humans are mortal, they can and do die. The dead are dead and have no thoughts whatsoever. Jesus' sacrifice redeems us from death, and in due time everyone will be restored to conscious life again (resurrection). That is what the passage in Luke says. God refers to Abraham, etc. as alive...

Paul didn't say ignore genealogies in the Bible, he was meaning to avoid arguing over which tribe someone belonged to. Barnes' Notes on 1 Timothy 1:4 says: And endless genealogies - This also refers to Jewish teaching. The Hebrews kept careful genealogical records, for this was necessary in...

Just for fun I thought I'd try out Microsoft's 'Copilot in Windows (preview)' to prove my point. It came up with: Ah, the delightful dance of comparative adjectives! Let’s unravel this linguistic tango, shall we? So, here’s the scoop: “more clearer”—while it might sound like a tag team of...

As I pointed out, according to the rules of this forum we're supposed to refrain from discussing this topic, because often people can't discuss it in a polite and civil manner. So I'll just quote some more verses of Scripture and comment no further. John 17:1-3 (WEB): (1) Jesus said these...

That should be "this is clearer" or "this is more clear" - "more clearer" is bad English. (Sorry, but hearing people speak, and write, using bad English is a bit aggravating! :wink:) It's quite clear that almighty God YHVH is referring to His Son, Jesus: Hebrews 1:1-2 (WB): (1) God, having...

The rules of this forum states: This topic [the Trinity] may not be initiated, discussed or debated at Christianity Board, whether it be for or against the Trinitarian view. Included in this is the side mantra of "Jesus is not God" Such posts/threads will be deleted immediately and disciplinary...

The name Methuselah comes from two roots, muth and shalach. Muth means death and shalach means ‘to bring’ or ‘to send forth’. His name therefore means ‘his death shall bring’. The flood did not come as a surprise; it had been preached on for four generations. Enoch, his father, apparently...

Jesus was not a sinner - Hebrews 4:14-15 (WEB): (14) Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession. (15) For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has...
