    Moving : Into The Revelation

    No, it's GOD. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED. GOD gave those words to the writer - whoever he was. You seem to want to argue about the blood of Christ - I don't, it has cleansed all Christians. Why don't we just settle this dispute and agree that Hebrews is God's word?

    Moving : Into The Revelation

    Sorry, who wrote Hebrews is an unsolved mystery. Believe what you want.

    Moving : Into The Revelation

    All Scripture is God breathed. Inspiration that is given to the writers in distinct ways designed to reflect the individual's personality, communication styles and skills and vocabulary. Then as with Hebrews the message is specifically addressing the Hebrews, speaking of the Law and also...

    Moving : Into The Revelation

    I agree, who said it was related to the Law. The teaching in Hebrews 13 makes that distinction, which was part of my point. But since you based your post on it, you should be aware that Scholars ARE NOT SURE THAT PAUL WROTE HEBREWS! The writer of Hebrews was likely not Paul, since the style and...

    ummm. This begs for an UnChristian title.

    Isaiah warned us about the ends times: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isa. 5:20. Imagine if he added more detail: "... when men think they are women and women think they are...

    Moving : Into The Revelation

    First off I agree with most of your post and appreciate it, a defense of our born again security. But, the context (and keep in mind much of Hebrews is a message to the Hebrew Christians who are coming our of the Law, so the Law is discussed moreso here and in Matthew than other NT books. Look...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    That said, there was no refrigeration in those days and undercooked pork and certain shell fish can be deadly - trichinosis, etc. I think it was a law to protect their health more than anything spiritual. Unclean = parasites, germs, viruses. Remember Daniel refused to eat the food ( delicacies)...

    Is it okay to eat pork?

    Isaiah 66:17 _ in context _ is speaking specifically about Jerusalem (and present day Jews in the nation of Israel and also applicable to any Jews in the world as well). For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged...

    Why was the Earth without Form and void? What cause that?

    Without form means, not like we see today with life, mountains, lakes, rivers, clouds, etc. God created it, a large ball of minerals with water on it in darkness. Then He created light, which is pretty complex, particles and waves that travels very fast. Then just follow along in Genesis day by...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    Welcome to the Christianity Board. It's okay to just jump in there with your guns loaded, but it is good to be humble, gentle and kind. I have always been quick to jump to conclusions, move in, take him to the rim, give him an elbow , then slam dunk it in his face. Ouch, that's not nice ...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    I identify with the Philadelphian church, the faithful church. God vomited the lukewarm Laodiceans out-of His mouth: Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I don't have anything in...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    I thought I made that clear: reconciliation with God through Christ.

    Can Priests Forgive Sin?

    We are not under the Law, we are under Grace - but that does not give us free reign to go sin it up. Our sins have been forgiven, washed clean. Our spirit therefore is pure and at any moment if death were to come suddenly, we go to be with the Lord and are presented to the Father without...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    He was certaining human, but spiritually without sin. We are born into sin, passed down from Adam ( Rom. 5:12). It is passed down from the father, a human descendant of Adam. Jesus was not born into sin, with the nature of sin, with the penalty of sin passed down from Adam. Why? Mary was...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    But Jesus is the narrow gate. Many do believe in Him. 2.65 billion claim to be believers in Christ, that's 1/3 of the planet, making it much narrower than the other 5.45 billion are entering into: Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, , irreligious, mystics, occultists. Btw, Our spirits are purified, not...

    Can Priests Forgive Sin?

    The Parable of the Sower of Seed explains who eill be saved, those with fertile soil. The seed that is planted in shallow soil hears the word, gets excited, has thus superficial carnal faith that doesn't last when tribulations and trials come because the roots are deep, their belief wasn't...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    The guy in the video started talking about evolution, how we evolved. That was a red flag for me. He doesn't know what he is talking about, neither did Einstein or Hawking figure it out. Jesus gave me peace. It is real, true. Dead to the penalty and slavery of sin we are, means He has...

    Can Priests Forgive Sin?

    Technically, being born again, is becoming a new creature in Christ - that means you are saved. The Holy Spirit does not make mistakes. Why would He transform a person knowing that in the future the person would not remain in Him nor bear fruit? True, people who do not follow Christ, don't...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    Right. When Jesus said, I am the truth, that is defined as reality. Then in Col. 1:16-17, reality is not only created by Him, it is in Him. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or...

    Can Priests Forgive Sin?

    In John 15, Jesus is addressing the world, they were not true believers yet. They might have believed his teachings but were not born again. The message, "I am the Vine ...", means He is the source of life for everyone on the planet, physically and spiritually. He created us and keeps our...
