Polygamy started pretty early on in the Bible, even before the Mosaic Law. Sarah was Abraham’s half sister and Hagar was his concubine. And the Mosaic Law regulated polygamous relationships and concubinage and never had anything negative to say about it. The Bible Old or New Testament never...

This would be wrong at no point did the Mosaic Law or scriptures condemn or stop polygamy and concubinage Old or New Testament. So it was in their culture that it was seen if a man had many wives and children it was seen as a blessing of God. Now the scriptures did warn the kings not to have...

There ya go partner. Can we count the ways we know that polygamy was practiced during and after the biblical period. For one, the scriptures never put a stop to polygamy or concubinage. So there was no reason to stop. The first Christians were Jewish-Christians and in there culture many wives...

Just say no to Judaizers! And as far as your red explanation LOL All that is, is you trying to justify doing wrong.

And He never commanded for Christians to stop polygamy or concubinage or slavery. And He never commanded for Christians to have wedding ceremonies to be married. And He never told anyone to worship Him in His Father’s house. The way I see it if you choose the Jewish Saturday Sabbath over the...

I am thinking that if Christians want to worship on the Lord’s Day and on the Jewish Saturday Sabbath it probably won’t hurt anything. But if they give up the Lord’s Day and worship only on the Jewish Saturday Sabbath …..I wonder if Christ will smack'em with the Jew stamp and they will no...

There are red flags that a belief is false. 1. The belief hinges on a word or phrase that is not in the scriptures. This is true 99% of the time and look at that 1% very closely. 2. The belief is contrary to the overall theme and or spirit of the scriptures. 3. The words used to explain the...

I am not saying that there is not a Hell. I am saying that the Jews do not believe in it. The Hebrew Bible, what we call the Old Testament is also the Word of God. And in the Old Testament the Jews were never threatened with an eternal fiery Hell. It would be a cruel joke to send them there with...

Is it a sin to vote for a democrat? Even worse to be a democrat. Would it have been a sin to have enlisted in the Nazi army? How about joining the Mafia? Oddly enough parts of the Mafia were religious. But none of these are as bad as being a democrat. Does this turn the act of voting for a...

I am not saying that it was not around at the time of Christ but because the early church writings after the biblical period do not have much to say about it and it was not around for the Canon.

You are getting this from the KJV. Imaginative, it means you are thinking.....exploring.....interpreting meanings beyond the scripture. I am not being critical. The Apostles and maybe Christ were referencing texts that were lost. If the original Book of Enoch was around it would have blown...

Not being rude.....I want you to find the prison aspect. A topic like this, if you are like me, you have to keep the biblical separate from the extra biblical information. I go with the simple understanding "worthless fellows" You have a lot of information there.....which is good. That will...

Are you talking about Sheol? Belial is a Hebrew word "used to characterize the wicked or worthless". The etymology of the word is often understood as "lacking worth" You have to watch your translations on this topic. The KJV tries to Christianize the Old Testament by sneaking in the devil or...

Ya the symbolisms cross.

I am a theologian….life long formal education in 5 countries and I go to about a dozen churches several denominations. If you want a target, my favorite is the Holy Ghost churches. Go ahead and say something bad about the Holy Spirit....not going to hurt, you are going to Hell anyway. The Lord...

All I can say is do a study on Judaism. They definitely believe in Yahweh. And there are different sects of Judaism today and some can get interesting.

Destroyed in this world….yes But still no place of an eternal fiery torment. Still nowhere, where God threatened them with a eternal fiery torment for sinning. For someone to go to the place of eternal fiery torment, they have to be judged there by Yeshua. Now Yahweh could have had a judgment...

As you have said Sheol is represented in different ways in the Old Testament….They worshipped Yahweh but as far as spiritual concepts they were vague on that. As far as what people say that is different, I could not care less. The fact is a fiery place of torment is not represented in the Old...

LOL

Charles “Taze” Russell was something between an idiot and a scammer. The one thing that he wasn’t, was a biblical scholar. I spent sometime in the kingdom hall because of my aunt and it was hilarious….They try to convince people that they understand the biblical languages but if you have an...
