    What is the one true Church?

    I say this with a smile on my face.....humor is important.... Will you please make your point. You got so involved with scriptures that cover various topic, that you actually did not convey your thoughts....lol

    What is the one true Church?

    There is a little bit of a funny here......but some of it is serious. Some do not understand that there are two religions here.....Judaism and Christianity. That there are two Covenants.....what we call the Old Covenant with God and the New Covenant with God. The Mosaic Law is part of the Old...

    What is the one true Church?

    Ok, there is a lot of history here.....most of this is do to somebody thinking they knew what God wanted. The Catholics are not responsible for the division, but the Catholics were at fault in general.....because they thought they knew what God wanted and had the authority of God on earth. That...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Glad you are interested in word study.....good start. But you are mixed up on a few things. The Hebrew does not have a word for Hades....think about it....Hades is Greek. And the Jews do not believe in Hades or Hell. You are sighting the word Hell in the Bible.....and you are right....some...

    What is the one true Church?

    Not saying I am worried about you....but when some thinks they know what Christ is thinking or what Christ hates....that can cause some very bad things.....actually it is the very thing that caused the Catholic Church to go down a very bad path.....in a since playing God. The big mistake is...

    What is the one true Church?

    In the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus we have some unusual sceneries....as well as some challenges for those that are sola scriptura because it goes against some common beliefs. 1. I have already explained the issues with the words Hades and Hell in the scriptures. Hell cannot be in the...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. “Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?” NASB Whatever this scripture is talking about, it is talking about living people in fire. Like I said the Jews do not believe in Hell or...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Nothing happen like a switch in history. God never threatened the Hebrews/Israelites/Jews with a fiery place of punishment in the Old Testament. So the Hebrews/Israelites/Jews did not believe in a hell in the Old Testament and the Jews of today still do not believe in a devil or a hell. God...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Why are acting like someone disagreeing with that? Oh, I see your the kinda of the Jehovah's Witness type that do not even know Yahweh's name......?? If you do not think there is a fiery hell of eternal punishment....then you probably do not think Yeshua is a God.....send us a postcard from hell.

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    Well you do not have to disagree.... Of course they knew where Gehenna was, it was a burning trash dump in the Valley of Hinnom....where they would throw trash and the bodies of the executed.....but that is not why Christ used it as an illustration of an eternal fiery punishment.

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    I have already explained this....see post 1 and 3. Hell is not a scriptural word....the word is not in the actual scriptures or in the minds of the Apostles. Christ used Gehenna as an illustration of an eternal fiery punishment.

    What is the one true Church?

    A lot of people would like to put on rose colored glasses when they consider the history of their religion. But a good part of Christian history was a bloody mess and progressed in a manner that was not graceful. Her name is Miriam.....Christ never heard the name Mary. And Miriam never heard...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    There ya go.....Sheol....Hades....Hell.... Christianity has kinda mingled all of this....long story....the short if it. There is no Greek word for Hell....the word comes from a more modern word that came from the German. The Apostles were tasked with describing their beliefs in a Pagan language...

    IS SHEOL REAL?

    What is Sheol? The general characteristics of an afterlife in a place called Sheol was not unique to the ancient Israelites. Most ancient religions believed in a spiritual place like Sheol…. an afterlife with various descriptions. The word Sheol appears 60 times in the Hebrew Bible. In 14...

    Why did Jill Biden permit Joe to take showers with their daughter?

    There are actually families out there that believe in having sex with children. The demonrats are wanting to lower the age of consent so they can legally have sex with children and then the children can legally make the decision to have an abortion. The Bidens are just stupid, is it lack of...

    What is the one true Church?

    But we are talking about the Hebrew Bible and the Israelites....in that time period. The Mosaic Law forbid the making of any type of image of anything. That is the way the Israelites understood it and that is the way they practiced it....unless God told them to make an image. Yahweh being God...

    What is the one true Church?

    Name calling when you know you cannot find it in the Bible.....what do you call that? You just quoted part of what I said to misrepresent me and the truth. As I said the Holy Sprite taught us that weddings were good and polygamy and slavery was wrong. And it was not the Catholic Church that...

    What is the one true Church?

    2000 years? Original Sin came from the fertile mind of St. Augustine, as in manure. Original Sin....The belief began to emerge in the 3rd century, but only became fully formed with the writings of Augustine of Hippo (354–430), who was the first author to use the phrase "original sin" (Latin...
