If that were the case, then why the need of a High Priest?

What was finished on the cross. Something, sure, because Jesus said, it is finished. But He never explained what it was that was finished. So....from the whole of scripture, what was it that was finished, because the way I read scripture, there were certain things specifically connected to our...

“1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to...

And there's the rub. We all know what Jesus said about traditions that contradict God's commandments.

The law of God in the sanctuary in heaven (Revelation 11:19) is the great original, of which the precepts inscribed upon the tables of stone and recorded by Moses in the Pentateuch were an unerring transcript. Those who arrive at an understanding of this important point are thus led to see the...

You forget that women weren't recognised as equals in those days so I reject your politically correct notions. It was men, as in humen.

I'm not intelligent or educated enough to work out why it's wrong, but God requiring us to experience evil for us to recognise good seems to me to be saying it's necessary to experience darkness before we recognise light. There is no such thing as evil in a materialistic sense, only the absence...

The one and only time I stopped going to church altogether 30 years ago, for several valid reasons but refusing to search for better, resulted in my falling away altogether, doing exactly the same things the Lord delivered me from 10 years previous. Fellowship with less than perfect Christians...

On this forum there are many who don't have regular fellowship or membership with an established church. And their reasons for not doing so are remarkably similar... Not teaching the Bible, money demands, hypocrisy etc. Ironically, I would hazard a guess that not any two of those here who...

And unbeknown to most, formed a quartet called Peter, Paul, Mary and John, but later changed it to the The Four Hoarsemen.

I hate the concept held by some that God deliberately established or created sin just so He could be merciful. Ridiculous and as you say, sabotage.

Weren't they in jail together?

We don't know which Mary though. There were at least 3, maybe 4, which hung out with the apostles.

From my church's Bible lesson for this week dealing with prophecy... Though, yes, there is much that we don’t know, why is it crucial to focus now on what we do know and to follow what we know—as opposed to obsessing over what we don’t know?

Can't say a disagree with much of that, although I might add that we are all beneficiaries of the mercy and grace of God, and the structural integrity of buildings we are in at any point in time.

Ironically from Peter, Paul, and Mary.

I also was an altar boy, all my friends were Catholic until I left school to work. Despite the many shortcomings in my Catholic upbringing as far as doctrine, and experiential relational direction from the church (which to this day is actively discouraged) somehow, which I can only put down to...

Yet two of them were just newly created in the image of Christ. Lucifer stood in the very presence of the Almighty. They walked in the garden with God. Communed with Him on a daily basis. All 3 fell. And infected the rest of us with a terminal illness. What more do we need because they failed...

You reveal some excellent insight. It seems to me at times that Trump was told he was a Christian on the basis of wishful thinking or positive affirmations in the hope that one day they will "prophetically" come to pass. So he believes it. He hasn't been told that to be a Christian one needs to...

I think I may have read it 3 or 4 times, possibly more if I take into account revision of particular chapters. It was the first book I read at becoming an Adventist 28 years ago. Loaned to me from a friend who got it back probably somewhat late. I've bought a couple of copies of my own since...
