I think you explained beautifully in post #3. My NRSV Cultural Bible has 10,000 notes explaining such things, which make literal translations so much more cumbersome. Getting lost in the cultural references is academically interesting but far from the main theme. There is no way Jesus died on...

Very complicated. When I received a revelation from God, it was accompanied by a vision. I may have used words to describe the vision that was imprecise. I saw a Jeep with 3 military type men with a gun turret. In reality, maybe they were police or terrorists. Maybe it was not technically a...

Rita, I must have a woefully bad translation. Can you educate me on what verse says the reason for Creation, the reason why Jesus suffered on the cross was so that we could interpret Gods word one way and others another way to then let loose all kinds of arguments? My English is not that good...

In looking into this, I went to one of the more deeply academic translations and found that other ancient authorities read Zechariah or Isaiah rather than Jeremiah. We could delve into exactly what these 'other ancient authorities' are if you think it would be profitable @RedFan ? Matthew 27:9...

Redfan, this is a great topic for discussion. I suspect that most members will ignore your question and jump right into doubling down on defending the premise that the Bible is inerrant. This is plausible. One thing I've observed about those whose faith is weak is to hold the Bible to an...

And this is a point holier-than-thou Christians deny; she was in Christ's lineage, a recognized hero in Hebrews BECAUSE she lied, not despite it. Ideally, in times of peace and prosperity, lying and stealing are not desirable. Sadly, there are people who are always hurting financially and we...

From Houthi movement - Wikipedia the Houthis adopted their official slogan: "God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam." No matter the name Islamic militants go under - Barbary Pirates, Moors, Al Qeada, ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas or Houthi's -...

This is your response to prophecy of Israel, to completely ignore it! Too confident you are to presume to know what God knows. I once rejected Jesus. Didn’t stop his plans for me. I am ci didn’t it will be the same for Israel, God’s chosen people.

I saw that. How some people think they make the world a better is peculiar.

Those who think God will not redeem his own people are sadly mistaken. What Does the Parable of the Fig Tree Have to Do with Israel?

Hmmm. Not quite. From Does Israel still have the DNA test for new immigrants to prove Jewish ancestry? In summary, it is not that immigrants have to prove their Jewishness by DNA in order to immigrate into Israel as the question seems to suggest. Rather a small percentage of Jews without...

Not another anti-semitic racist.

If I may, it's not the object that is being bashed. It is false worshippers.

Just out of curiosity, where does God say this?

Oy vey! Pastor John Eldredge wrote Wild at Heart, which pointed out this verse has been one of the most abused and destructive to all Christianity. This is because it denies the unfolding story, where God replaces our hearts of stone so we, born again Christians can trust our heart. Because of...

Ever hear of the branch of philosophy called Epistemology? It is the study and limits of knowledge. For you to imply the God of the Founding Father's is a bad suppostion on several levels. I asked a question about @Lambano's post about knowing the sun is in the sky, faceteiousy leading to your...

2C = The 2nd Commandment. What is the true meaning of the second commandment? | GotQuestions.org

Christendom is fraught with IDOLATRY. No wonder it is the 2C.

Another bad supposition. There is only one true God, Jesus’ God.

How do you know the sun is in the sky?
