John the Baptist had the spirit of Elijah on him, not in him. It just means there was more authority, even than the priest in the temple. Again, the wonderful thing about beliefs is that you can believe whatever you want….but the exactness of what was going on with John the Baptist is not well...

What you are suggesting is that the Apostles were Pagans, or the people that suggested that he could be----John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Christ could have objected to these suggestions. He did not....are you saying Christ was Pagan...

You have a lot of beliefs there that are not scriptural. On the other hand, I am not going say they are not true. Reading the scriptures, it is the obvious that the connection between Yeshua and John is very significant, but yet not completely defined. The storyline of who John was or...

You guys are bacon me crazy! lol Us Christians can make of the Old Testament whatever we want....and we have. Just for the entertainment value, you might want to check with the Hebrew Bible and or a Jewish website and see if they believe in hell? the devil? heaven as a reward? Who went to...

Matthew 5:15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. (example of good and truth) Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in...

The thing to tell young Christians is that they should study what Christ did, and what He wants us to do. It takes all of 15 minutes to go over what Christianity says are sins. Learn what to do and start doing. Emphasize that they don’t want to be a don’t doer Christian. Teach them do…do….do...

After the Jews rejected Him and instigated His scourging and execution, when those nails were being driven into His hands, was He doing that for the perfect or the sinners? Was He doing it for the Gentiles? God so loved the world….and Yeshua was the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world...

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things display the Christian way to others.~~For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of...

They were exposed to the spiritual side of religion in Persia. They had spent a few centuries with the Persians. Whether it was Zoroastrianism or one of the other religions, there were some Jews that understood the basics of heaven as a good place and hell as a bad place, and the occurrence of...

***********The Living Word Still Has A Message For Us*********** What is the Bible? It may sound like an obvious question. But not only that, but what isn’t the Bible? It is a valid question? The Holy Bible is not a God. No matter how you slice it, it was written by men and men will tamper with...

Well, riddle me this: If Grailhunter and Enoch told the Jews of the Old Testament, Excuse us, we are going to go out and worship the Son of God and the God Holy Spirit....what do you think would happen to us? Better yet if we decided to start a religion about worshiping the Son of God and the...

Marriage is a matter of the heart. But the funny thing is that the requirement for public ceremonies...as in law to require one, was to cut down on secret weddings...In Europe, wealth and power structures would develop as a surprise because of secret wedding.

5 I believe God the Father gave His only begotten Son. 6. I believe the concept of sacrifice, as in Yeshua’s sacrifice was His and His alone. Sacrificed to atone for the righteous demands of the Father. He alone redeemed us, justified us, died for our sins, and made us perfect through His...

The more difficult and decisive disagreements are 1 thru 12. The discussion and debates at the councils included heated arguments with no real good solution. (A lot like what you see on the forum here.) The representatives and Bishops had good arguments with scriptures that supported their...

***********The Evolution of Christianity and Gnosticism************* The twelve Jewish Apostles were teaching and practiced the merging of Judaism and Christianity, particularly the Gospel of Matthew, but all Gospels were a ministry to the Jews. Paul’s ministry was not. Paul is teaching a form...

Ok Hobie, You need to get off the trace back thing because it is going to bite you in the tail. Marriage ceremonies were not required nor was it a custom of Jews…Jews learnt it from the Persians. Early Christian did not date, their fathers chose their husbands….explain that to your daughter. 1...

The main problem that I see on this thread....and it is not with you....is that they are mixing up religion and culture. Like it or not, it is history. The Pagan converts that we call Gentiles, of which most of us can trace our history, took the reins of Christianity very early on. Gentiles from...

No literary history; This is a fact, at the time the protestants were writing their Bibles, the word Jesus did not appear or have an intrinsic meaning in English or in any other language. The name Jesus came out of nowhere and before the 1600’s was never known as a word or a name. The first...

In the end the only thing the people had to work with was the word Jehovah, which showed up four times in some translations. It is a deception and a distracter. For one, some of the letters in Jehovah did not exist during the Old Testament period, in fact the word Jehovah did not exist in any...

*****************The History of God’s Name********************* Some of the Paleo-Hebrew scriptures contained God’s written name. At that time, very few copies existed and most were kept in the Temple and were only read my priests. At some point “someone or some group” apparently decided that...
