Moses gave the Law and instituted the Covenant which gave people the ability to access God for the forgiveness of sins...just like Jesus. Joshua didn't do anything like that.

Moses's only successor was Jesus. Joshua may have looked like Moses's successor but he really wasn't. His name is actually the same as Jesus' in Hebrew but we spell it different so we don't confuse the two. But it's essentially the same exact name. Aaron was the High Priest. He had successors.

Forgiveness of sins is God's responsibility...that would be along the lines of judgement....again God's job. Not ours. Stephan's last words when he was getting stoned reflects this.

Ummm.... That's not what that is intended to mean. They are not God nor did Jesus abdicate his responsibilities. They were being given "forth telling" prophet status.... meaning that they could accurately tell the truth about someone. Peter failed miserably after this too... remember how Paul...

Ok... This is why flat reading doesn't work well. And it's completely understandable how you could come to these conclusions. Matthew 23 is a huge rant about the religious leaders of the day. Israel was somewhat of a theocracy and somewhat not...all governments at the time were theocracies...

Kinda mixing things up a bit... Keys are the access to the storerooms in Heaven to such things as the treasury, armory, and power to accomplish anything needed. Binding and loosing is the authority to declare sin or that something is not sin. Now the Prerequisite for access or authority is the...

There's no scripture to explain the city except the name itself and the archeology and anthropology of the time period. When the Tetriarch Phillip rebuilt the city, expanded the temple there he renamed the city after Caesar. But there already was a city named after Caesar so this one got the...

I've been thinking about you lately..

The chain of apostolic succession was broken before it started. Three guys all broke it. And you know their names. Paul James Jude Not a one of those guys were ever actually disciples before becoming Apostles. Matthias was chosen as a replacement apostle that the Apostles chose but that was...

Well yeah... There's no raw data available for this vaccine... And as of yet there is none available... The Russians have a vaccine with faked numbers in the raw data and everyone is pointing fingers at the numbers saying that they look fake. The PRC has a vaccine that we know they are lying...

I'm wondering where @Ferris Bueller went... He hasn't been back in a couple of days now. *Sigh* And we were having such a good conversation too.

There's going to be an announcement next month (October) about a vaccine that will seek FDA approval for 60% effective. It will be available by the end of November widely.

More than likely it was related to the assistant professor's person vice life... Not uncommon at all that moral failings interferes with a brilliant man's career. These people who are often very brilliant have the morals of an alley cat.

One more time with an example... In exchange for a stainless steel spoon (when it's the only utensil we own for eating) we are given a sterling silver set for 12 that is made for an 8 course dinner... A $0.50 spoon for a $60,000 silver set. By the comparison it's free.

Oh for sure this is a paradox as you have pointed out. There's a principle laid out here... called propitiation. Now where it's used incorrectly in some Bible translations this is where it actually fits if it was used here. If we give up our worthless lives (no matter what value we put on...

Get ready... Some new vaccines are about to announce. The PRC vaccine is currently approved in the UAE...I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole. They are claiming 100% efficacy and no side effects. Of course they are lying. Of course they claim the virus didn't come from them either...

I'm watching Silent Hill as we speak...

And if you hold to calvinist beliefs... No one can thwart God's calling.

These tall buildings can withstand a lot... They even sway. I don't like to go above 70 floors because the buildings all start to sway too much. If you lean on the walls (bad southern habit) you get motion sickness. For whatever reason I'm fine when in boom lifts trying to change lightbulbs on...

That passage you used is from the story of rejected disciples... I'm sorry...we are just going to disagree on this. A calling is similar to a profession... I have a calling...it's a Christian man calling. I also have a calling as an electrician. You can't put American/westernized ideals on...
