Dear Kriss, --I have asked a number of times a question that someone else raised. They said "the law of the OT is no longer applicable." All I asked was did Jesus or God ever say that and DENVER lables me a trouble maker. If anyone has specifically answered that questionand I missed it, I will...

But no one answered my question. That's what makes the religion of christianity confusing and unappealing. It's bad enough that you get a hundred or more totally different answers to the same question on the net, but even here, there is no agreement and you can't get a straight answer from...

Leviticus 20Punishments for Sin 9 " 'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head. 10 " 'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the...

dear kriss--I have read the New Testament. It is not easy reading and it's not always clear but I haven't found where Jesus said he came to replace animal sacrifice. Did he? I also don't find where Jesus says the laws of the OT are no longer applicable. In fact, He says he didn't come to...

Dear Kriss--I am very new to this. I am really a buddhist(zen) but now I am trying to figure christianity out. My belief is very limited but I do believe in Jesus as God. You wrote Antonio The animal sacrifices were for the Jews only, never the Gentiles these sacrifices were a prelude, a type...

Dear Denver--I have been reading and I have found several sources that say: The Bible makes no distinction between Moral laws and Ordinances. Does God/Jesus make such a distinction?Also, some writers( my research has been brief) say all the laws, ordinances, commandments etc were what God said...

Dear Denver, My question was where was it that Christ says anything about removing, ending, amending any ordinance or law or command of God. You didn't respond to my question.also, I looked up the word ordinance. it is also a law and command of God. So I'm not clear, for the purpose of this...

We don't sacrifice animals anymore because Christ removed that ordinance. It would be sacreligious to do so because you'd be saying Christ doesn't count. Could you tell me where is it that Christ says He removed that ordinance--and by the way, where is animal sacrifce called an ordinace. I'm...

At the end of verse one, there is a period that signifies the completion of a thought. However, it is important to understand that an unspecified period of time passes between verses 1 and 2 of Genesis. How do we "understand" this? Because of a period? Who says there is a time gap. wasn't it...

Dear Denver--I read all the verses you quote. I even read the entirety of Leviticus. Frankly, I find nothing, except in in Hosea that even arguably suggests that any of the commands and judgements of God as set forth in the OT no longer apply. I know you said I should start there --1. Is there...

Dear RND---I read Murray but don't see anything that responds to my post.Also, I question if the list you gave are actually Murray's beliefs--some seem a little crackpotish to me. So I am sticking with Jesus--he gave us the whole law, love God and love EVERYONE else. If something doesn't fit...

This AGE is 6,000 years old and so is man. This world is not, it is much older. God didn't create us as 6 day (6 of his days) experiment. It goes much deeper and it's all there in the Word. I follow no man, but that doesn't mean I can agree with some of them to varying degrees. The most...

Dear Le Britt--Do you realize there are millions of galaxies, perhaps billions and that the cosmos is constantly expanding and the "space" into which it expands didn't exist before, and the whole thing keeps moving and changing into "places" that didn't exist before?Our Father in Heaven is this...

Dear Betchevy--the only footprint "shaped like ours" that I have heard about appearing next to a dinasaours footprint, had a shoe heel in the print. It may not be a sham but no one takes it seriously. If there is another footprint, I haven't heard of it and would like to know where you saw...

hello all I'm new here but already confused. If jews could "atone" for their sins or be baptised and be saved, what was the point of Jesus dying on the cross.?Could someone clear this up for me in simple words?antonio

Interestingly, I noticed that several posts said,"The short answer is to know the difference between laws(Commandments), ordinances(precepts), and statutes:

Dear James, if you want "Biblical", you could stone her. I'm new here so I'm not clear what someone means by biblical. You could ask yourself what would Jesus do in light of his command to Love God and love everyone in the world, even your enemies.antonio
