Goinheix, Do the Gospels have less authority than Wikipedia, and is the Old Testament more inspired than the New Testament?

For the third time.... I have explained why the women didn't go to the sepulchre on Friday. It was guarded. Matthew calls it one Sabbath, not two.

Wow.... That's about all I can say. Ok.... Don't tithe. I never said you had to. I don't look down on you for not tithing. We don't have a problem with that... But I am a little upset at your statement which claims, "This is your rule". I haven't made any rules. I openly admit we don't...

Goinheix, I remember that English is not your first language and I'm taking that into consideration. But I have to ask you if you are serious in this statement. The Gospels don't have the authority of Wikipedia? Wikipedia is one of the most questionable (however, easy to use) encyclopedias...

Calling what the scriptures actually say deceptive and a dirty trick still doesn't answer the question of how these things are. Neither does leaving things up to merely "possibitities or probablys. I will not deal with the type of thinking that involves "well, maybe this happened..." Lets...

Regardless of how many times Abraham gave tithes, it was still before the Law. It is not recorded that he gave tithes more than once, but it doesn't say he never tithed again. In any case, its irrelevant. Also Jacob vowed to give tithes (a tenth). That's in Genesis 28. Jesus did say you...

The timeline I gave was purposely very brief and the only error I may have made is when Jesus entered into Jerusalem. It may have been (and probably was) Sunday. The thought that Jesus clensed the temple on two concecutive days is untrue. We do see the possibility of Jesus clensing the...

I'm a little surprised I haven't responded to this thread, but I agree with Ecc12:13. Jesus died on a Wednesday and ressurected between 3 and 6 PM on Saturday. With these dates of the week in place, the Bible gives and account of events of every day of the what many call the Passion Week. No...

Goinheix, I would like to know why you believe Jesus and the Apostles taught Christians NOT to tithe and prohibited the practice. I don't find any verse that says that. If you are referring to not being under the law, you should remember tithing was practiced before the law. Genesis 14:20...

This is a question best answered by a moderator or administrator of the board (which I'm not), but it would be a shame if those beliefs weren't allowed. The Bible does indeed say Jesus had half brothers and even sisters, and the names of at least his brothers is given. The most famous of...

I don't deny that water baptism was done. ... I don't have a problem with that. Jesus baptized with fire... That doesn't sound like water to me. Jesus said he was THAT water that if you drink it, you never thirst again. That's the water I am baptized in. And, by the way... Water baptism...

Please go back and re-read my post. I did say Baptism was necessary. It just doesn't have to be with water.

Good post! I agree. Personally, my work dedication is quite good because I too have read that verse. Sometimes it is hard and many times I don't want to go in to work. But in the end, I remember that verse.

I agree with Whiteknuckle too. Except, umm.... Whiteknuckle.... I work for the public schools! I think your opinion is a bit hasty. We could do a better job, but in the end, students and their parents could too. I too have a lot of complaints about the school system, but I don't agree with...

I personally like southern gospel music. SOme of my favorite performers are G.A. and Tye Tribbett, Vickie Winans, Chicago Mass Chior, Mississippi Mass Chior, Yolanda James and Nicole C. Mullen to name a few. If you like country, you might want to look into the Crabbs. Try "Crabbfest 2004" for...

Groundzero, First off, I'm not against water baptism. Obviously it was done in the Bible by John as well as some of the Apostles. However, I don't believe it is necessary. I do think it is necessary to be baptized, but not necessarily by means of a water baptism. As for "water"... Jesus...

It's an interesting topic, and as Rach said, we aren't given too much information about their hierarchy, but we are given some. Have a look at Eph 6:12. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this...

I haven't been following this thread in quite some time, so forgive me if I'm out of line.... But Jesus said in Rev 3 "Them that I love I rebuke and chasten". Paul's whole letters of I Cor and Galatians were rebukes. In Titus 1: 3 he approves of rebuking so they may be sound in the faith. 1...

Veteran wrote: Well, I'm forced to point you to this then that our Lord Jesus said... Matt 5:19-20 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the...

The Lord Jesus taught some of the same things, but not all. James said, for example, "...show me thy faith without thy works, and i will show thee my faith by my works." yet in Matt 6 Jesus spoke on three subjects (Praying, giving and fasting) and said to do them in secret and not let anyone...
