Well again, where is this Paradise? You will be with me in Paradise....Do you think that Christ went to heaven after the cross, while he was buried? Before he was resurrected? Do you think the Bible says that? Whatever, if you are positioned next to a God on a cross it is a unique...

Well I would say most of the scriptures concerning salvation are true.

So then we get into a deeper topic.....the walking speech that I am I will try to condense this. How does truth relate to Christianity.....Why am I the self designated Johnny Appleseed of truth. What kind of gift is it that a boy in the second grade can read the Bible and qualify for collage at...

Again it a world full of rabbit holes. I have a problem and expect the world to adjust to it.

Well, you need to keep Alice from running down that rabbit hole. But I do agree with you within reason, but then there is principles and practicality. But living for the approval of others or try to compensate for every concern would be like playing whack a mole or the fable of Aesop... of...

Years ago they called it the Iron Age and they believed that it occurred around 1200-1000 BC. But then they realized that they are not ages at all....it is regional and it can go back to 2000 BC and according to the Bible a lot further than that. The Old Testament mentions iron way back shortly...

I was trying to add up the numbers worldwide. Something like over a thousand killed in Covid protests, several thousand injured. Thousands killed, disabled, or have serious reactions to the vaccines themselves and more and more boosters shots....all the while Covid hospital patients that have...

Maybe some confusion... So what do you see?

Like many the problem with your thinking is that you are confusing predestination with clairvoyance. If God knows what is going to happen then that has no control over free-will. If people have the choice to choose Christ, there is no reason to lock it down. If God makes that choice for you...

Well you are right. The Hebrews were concerned with "female blood" and of course there is blood during delivery. But the whole reasoning behind chapter 12 of Leviticus is not explained, it is one of the Mosaic Laws. But I do not believe this is what Psalm 51:5 is referencing, nor the doctrine of...

Well you are right. Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Luke 2:4-5 Now Joseph also went up from Galilee...

No I have the Law dead on. It really does not matter if it was monogamous marriages or polygamy or concubinage, the Law regulated all of that. God did not say that the Mosaic Law was to regulate sinful practices. In the OT Yahweh was not shy about pointing out what was sinful. Sinful practices...

Well I am not going to say that the Mosaic Law was defined by men. Was it part of God's plan for the Israelites to increase in numbers and dominate the world? Was polygamy and concubinage part of that plan? Accelerated reproduction. One of Yahweh's reoccurring promises was that their descendants...

Maybe the reason that the Protestant churches fractured into a thousand of pieces and could never figure out the Bible is because it was founded in hate. That is a maybe. But hatred is never a good spirit to formulate your beliefs.

The point is that after the biblical era Christianity has been given beliefs that are of a higher morality. The NT speaks of women not talking in church....not asserting authority over men....that men are the head over women....washing the feet of people....the Apostles were still addressing...

Things we learnt that were not good. All this stuff in the Mosaic Law was God ordained. The Mosaic Law is not a list of unapproved behavior or practices. Old Testament marriage arrangements continued in Christianity for over a millennium. The whole explaination of a man is head over a woman is a...

Slavery is not a job seeker's choice. Slaves were bought and are property. Just like they were in early America. There is no upside to slavery. The Mosaic Law clearly institutes the death penalty for beating a free man to death; in contrast, beating a slave to death was to be avenged only if...

Very aware of this. Jewish Studies at American University and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. For a funny! Look at the wedding processes that Christ talked about in his stories--parables and then find those processes in the Mosaic Law or Old Testament stories. Then I will tell you why you...

The Mosaic Law gave the woman no choice.....even in marriage....the woman was bought or bargained for. Women were required to marry within their own tribe. A father was required to give a virgin daughter....if not her new husband could kill her....damaged goods...property.

No I am talking about concubinage. Mosaic Laws regarding concubinage Exodus 21:7:11 Leviticus 19:20-22 Mosaic Laws regarding captured virgins Deuteronomy 21:10-14 --- No such thing as a captured non-virgin because they were killed. Probably no reason for God to command someone to have...
