    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Yes, that is me in the profile picture, 1stcenturylady. That is a impressive painting! Makes me desire to get back into it. Thank you for sharing with me. :)

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Not so sure its to all. It most certainly was said to the people of israel. Im a stickler sorry for that keiw. Deuteronomy 30:19 New International Version 19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Interesting report, Peterlag. Sometimes I enjoy my old dead body... darn thing likes to come back alive sometimes, gotta knock it out with some prayer and perspective, and put it back down in the grave with Christ, and step back into the new life, raising again to new spiritual things rather...

    Telling Yahava about your failures does good.

    When you mess up, be it on promises you made to others, or you end up going back to an old habit, or you continue to hate your neighbor, or you have greed or covetousness, or sexual lusts, etc. Going to YAhava, and talking to him about the things you do, the things you want or desire, and how...

    My take on original sin

    Everyone will die eventually, babies, children, teens, adults. What can be assured is that Yeshua has taken care of all sins, past, present and future. That is something that is good to remember always. Yahava to me, today, is not angry or mad at people because of sin. He just desires them to...

    The Rapture is not Biblical!

    I would add to John Darbys comment stating that while studying the bible, the use of prayer and the spirit is also needed.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Revelation is the overview (the fuller picture) of what Jesus talked about in what is known as the Olivet discourse.

    A Kingdom of the Son exists today or not?!

    Hello Apak, My personal believe is that Yeshua is no longer seated at the right hand of the Father, and has overcome all things. The Kingdom has been established and it was at hand, because it right there near them, by the life of Christ who would establish that kingdom, and it would be right...

    about Suicide

    Yahava knows the heart, and he knows the condition. There is a resurrection, with an assessment. While I do believe that is good to continue to live out ones life. No one can stop a person who commits the act of suicide, because they end up killing themselves and no one knows about it until the...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    May Yahava, uphold you, and may Yeshua make you right with Him, and may you continue to follow through trusting them. Amen, they deserve all the glory for even given us breathe of life today. :)

    Approved of scripture?

    No. There are probably some things from scriptures used there but over all, one needs to go and look into the bible holistically.

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Well, Christian title gets so many looks because its done a lot of no good in some peoples lives. I do not even feel the need to call myself a Christian. Just a follower of the way, of the one whom God sent, Yeshua. Thank you for sharing, and letting everyone know you do not worry about people...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Okay. May we continue to look in faith towards Yahava, and look towards loving others by the spirit. That is what is gonna matter in the end. I actually love scripture, however I do not hold on to things like sola scriptura and everything else. I mainly try to go by the spirit that brings life...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Love you in Christ, be safe, and hope it all goes well. No need to be pointing fingers at each other, that is just freaking stupid. LEt's move forward, I am gonna go ahead and dip out of your thread here.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    @GracePeace it has been nice to 'try' to talk about these things with you, it will never work out online though, it's pointless most of the time, as you are gonna believe and stay and be where you are until your mind is changed. I am just saying Jesus Christ and his death on the cross, took care...

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Idk what you are teaching, or what is being said. It just a big ol jumbled mess, isn't it. Chaos and disorder which you hate.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Galatians 5 New International Version Freedom in Christ 5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. 2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value...

    You twist scripture when you do that, but that is okay cause you are okay with it.

    Abiding In Christ Necessary for Eternal Life

    Idk why you can't say that Jesus death was for all people then... You say it is only for his friends. You also understand that while you are in Christ today, you are to build up spiritual foundation, spiritual treasures, for yourself at the end of your life by and for your love for God and...
