The McKenzie Bible Dictionary explains it this way.... “The Trinity of God is defined by the Church as the belief that in God there are three persons who subsist in one nature. The belief as so defined was reached only in the 4th and 5th centuries AD and hence is not explicitly or formally a...

Judaism includes the Old Testament....Culture is important too. False beliefs run amuck....Christianity has had 2000 years to develop some whopping false beliefs...... The McKenzie Bible Dictionary explains it this way.... “The Trinity of God is defined by the Church as the belief that in God...

You are right. It is hard to imagine how different concepts and beliefs were......and then to explain them in a language that did not have words for it. It is not only that the Gods changed but the concept of Gods the spirit world and of reality and society.

Quick facts Jesus was crucified on Friday, which the scriptures define as the Day of Preparation, the day before the Sabbath. This is supported by multiple Gospel accounts, indicating that He was buried before sunset on Friday. The Passover and the Jewish Saturday Sabbath started at dusk on...

You are right Paul was not married, nor was he an overseer of one church. An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, skillful in teaching, 1st timothy 3:2 It does not say single or the husband of one wife and since we...

Truth can be shocking..... It goes beyond that.. The instructions to kings was because it was distracting and usually included idolatry and truces with Pagens. Things we do not have to worry about now a days. But as far as the culture, having a lot of wives and children was seen as a blessing of...

Violence is a topic that is misunderstood. In the Old Testament Yahweh's rules of war where kill all the males adults and children and keep the virgins for yourselves. In the New Testament Yeshua got violent when he needed to. And Ya I have smacked a few.....maybe save their life and their soul.

This is actually a complex and deep topic....and you are not going to like it, but religion is not about what we like and dislike. I have covered this topic extensively in college in more than one country. Is seems easier to punch him in the nose and go to the wedding. Wouldn't it be neat if we...

So what is repentance for a person that committed adultery and gets married? And how should his friends, family, and church react to this?

I did not say ignore sin. I said forgiveness is the foundation of Christianity. Sure you can reprimand him show him where it is a sin....not that he did not know. And punch him in the nose. I am not kidding, I have punched several people for doing sinful things. We can debate whether Yeshua...

I did not comment on Israel.

On the topic of going to the wedding of someone that remarries after adultery, I said punch them in the nose and go to the wedding. I was not commenting on a gay marriage.

Forgiveness is the foundation of Christianity, without it we are all in the crapper. So punch him in the nose and go to the wedding. Self rightiousness is a sin too.

I am not saying that people did not celebrate marriages, but the scriptures do not indicate a requirement for a celebration or a ceremony. And assuming a religion is a bad way to understand the scriptures. No matter what they celebrated they were not married until they had sex. For the Jews the...

I have been telling you guys that you have to watch these translations they slip in these little beliefs they have. Water into wine at the.....reception. The scriptures call it the marriage in Cana, not a wedding and no wedding ceremony described. The storyline picks up at what we would call the...

Ya....see what I mean....LOL The scriptures call it the marriage in Cana and no wedding ceremony described. The storyline picks up at what we would call the reception. There are a lot of questions about that event. I am a Theologian, it does not matter what I like or dislike it matters about...

Greetings... Like I said I cannot blame the KJV on this one. That is why a Theologian has to know the scriptures and a little history. The only time you will see the word divorce in the New Testament scriptures is in the four Gospels because it pertains to the Jews and Mosaic Law. When you read...

Unfortunately, the KJV is the most inaccurate translation out there. I read them outload on occasion at events and I collect the old ones.....great illustrated family Bibles. The other problem is that a lot of people cannot understand it. So to answer---what bible translation do you think is...

Luke 10? Luke 16:18 This one I cannot blame on the KJV. The word divorce is not in this scripture it is "cannot send away"

False beliefs have unbelievable power and cause harm. Actually the scriptures never say you have to have a wedding ceremony to be married. For thousands of years people coupled up to be married and could not be married until they coupled up---sex.--- For the Jews it was the bridal chamber. Even...
