    That’s wonderful. And great. I don’t have any questions for you at all.

    Who Are God’s Chosen People?

    Thank you for explaining, LY. Does God pick and choose who are his today? Or is God just looking at the heart at who want to be with him in the end? I personally do not see predestined as a thing for anyone today.

    Who Are God’s Chosen People?

    Why does those things matter to you, when it's of faith which God/Yahavah is pleased. I do not understand. ???

    Who Are God’s Chosen People?

    God did what he promised to do. I am not an antisemite. Jewish people do Jewish things because it's part of their culture. I respect people whom claim they are Jewish, but no one can claim they are part of any 12 tribes, because as I posted in #58.

    Who Are God’s Chosen People?

    Hello @LoveYeshua, It is not possible for anyone today to definitively claim membership in one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This is due to the loss of genealogical records, which were destroyed when Jerusalem fell and was consumed by fire as part of divine judgment. Without those records...

    Who Are God’s Chosen People?

    When reading the Bible it was the nation of Israel, the 12 tribes. God also promised to destroy them as well for killing the only begotten Son.

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Hello @St. SteVen According to my perspective, all souls—including Jesus, who remained for three days until His resurrection—entered hell, where they remained until the souls were released and subsequently judged. Today, hell is no longer the central concern as many may assume. Instead, the...

    At what point does a believer join the Body of Christ?

    Hello @St. SteVen My perspective is rooted in the view that the early church—the living and vibrant bride of Christ—was intended to be holy, unblemished, and pure. This community of believers existed in anticipation of Yeshua’s return during their time, under the spiritual leadership and...

    At what point does a believer join the Body of Christ?

    Hey @St. SteVen, I just wanted to see a condensed version: (microsoft co-poilot) Some readers misunderstood my original question, assuming I was equating salvation with being part of the Body of Christ, or asking whether baptism is required for salvation. My intent was to highlight the early...

    How old is the Earth?

    My interview showcasing my upcoming 153 Reasons for the KJV (Free PDF).

    I like the KJV, personally. Though I don’t use it as much as I use to, it still conveys the message. Good to see you BH, it’s been a long time!

    From the pen of Ellen White

    Hey Brakelight, I wanted to see a condensed version: "Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven." —Psalm 119:89 The Word of God spans all of human history—from Creation to Christ's return—and reveals the eternal plan of redemption. Though new truths have been unveiled over the centuries...

    How the Word of God, Born of the Virgin Mary and Given the Name Jesus, Became the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

    Hello Panda, I wholeheartedly affirm that the Word of God was made flesh. God was indeed present among His people—and I believe He continues to dwell within us today, in our hearts. We are continually reminded by the Spirit of Christ to walk in forgiveness, to release bitterness, and to...

    How the Word of God, Born of the Virgin Mary and Given the Name Jesus, Became the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

    Hi Pandaflower, “The Word of God became flesh, manifested in the person of Yeshua. Though He experienced temptation, Yeshua did not fall into sin, for the Father in heaven provided divine support. Scripture affirms that Yahavah—God—is not susceptible to temptation. As the book of James...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    It is often observed that individuals place greater trust in the institution of the church than in their personal relationship with God.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    If you say so. I believe anyone whom comes to God and is adopted into his Kingdom, has a family. A family of believers on earth, and a family of believers in Heaven. Would you say that God will reject me cause I haven't been to church in idk... years. Please give me the reason why, you have...

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    Anyone in the world can scripture quote if they have read enough of the bible. But where does the spiritual authority come from? God ulitmately, he even chastens his own children. Idk who knew that or didn't know that.

    Where do people get the spiritual authority?

    You're very knowledgeable when it comes to quoting scripture—impressive! It's evident that you have a deep understanding of the Bible, and that's truly commendable. I am just asking questions, how you respond to them is up to you. The thief on the cross, just believed as far I know. Idk all...
