RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

Convenient Faith

We are living in rather troublous times, aren’t we? There are wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes and tsunamis, pestilences and destruction, uncertain economic times, killings of innocent babies, decline in moral standards, and so much more atrocities and cruelty pervading the human family.

It is as e…[Read more]

DID JESUS BREAK THE SABBATH—OR MAN-MADE SABBATH RULES?

People accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath.

But did Jesus actually break God’s commandment?

The answer is found in the difference between God’s Sabbath and human traditions.

The Sabbath commandment says:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
(Exodus 20:8–11)

Jesus kept the Sa…[Read more]

HIS WORDS AND HIS EXAMPLE

A ​​large crowd listened to him with delight. (Mark 12:34)

Christ never viewed anyone as insignificant or beyond redemption; instead, He strove to bring salvation to all. He always had a lesson that was useful and relevant to the situation at hand. He sought to instill hope in the most hopeless individuals, ass…[Read more]

Lightenup–Every spot in OT where LORD all capitols=YHWH, not Yeshua. You are being mislead. Psalm 110:1 is proof of that fact-The LORD(YHWH) said to my Lord( Jesus) sit at my( not ours) right hand until i( not we or us) make your enemies as a stool for your feet.

@Proclaimer,

Of course Hebrew names have a meaning behind them, but what does that have to do with the fact the Jesus was NOT named Immanuel as was supposedly prophesied about him in Isa 7:14? The passage chrisianity clings to every christmas claiming his mother was impregnated by G-d and she was a “virgin”, making the Jesus a demigod…so Gre…[Read more]

Your response comes from my comment to Lightenup where he says the Tanakh DOESN’T say The Messiah is to come twice and your response is “logic”?!??! Please enlighten me! The only “logic” needed is what the Tanakh says.

God has a plan. The enemies of God wants to know that plan. But God reveals his plan to his people / the innocent. He doesn’t w…[Read more]

I thought this child was to be named “Immanuel” (Isa 7:14) and now his name is “the Jesus.”

In biblical times, a name meant much more than the word used to identify someone. A name could represent a person’s purpose, identity, character, reputation, authority etc.

When the Bible speaks about “the name of Jesus” fir example, it usually means m…[Read more]

@Berean,

She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save the people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

You copy/paste this passage from your “prophetess” and I have a few questions concerning it. I thought this child was to be named “Immanuel” (Isa 7:14) and now his name is “the Jesus.” Then your prophetess…[Read more]

HI LU

Interesting what say Origen about the Son as the visible YHWH of the Old Testament,

E.G.White largely agrees with Origen and explains why it is not the Father who intervenes in His dealings with humanity.

Devotionals is
That I May Know Him

God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto…

Safety in the Rock
 

The rock hyrax is a terrestrial mammal that resembles a guinea pig and is found in Israel. As its name reveals, it lives among rocks in which it can quickly escape from predators. The animals are especially known for using sentries that send out alarm calls from high points if a predator comes close.

Hyraxes (called…[Read more]

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. (Galatians 4:4)

Christ came into this world to reveal the Father, to give humanity a true knowledge of God, and to manifest His love. Without the knowledge of God, humanity would be utterly lost. Life and strength must be imparted by the One who created…[Read more]

@Lightenup,

So you wholly rely on the interpretations of man…interesting!

When are you going to read and study what G-d said or do the interpretations of man supersede G-d’s words?

@Proclaimer,

Is this another drive by commentary or will you engage in a conversation?

Your response comes from my comment to Lightenup where he says the Tanakh DOESN’T say The Messiah is to come twice and your response is “logic”?!??! Please enlighten me! The only “logic” needed is what the Tanakh says.

The Tanakh says The Messiah is to be a d…[Read more]

What do you think about these things from Origen:

More from Origen:

1. Psalm 102 → Hebrews 1:10–12 applied to the Son
Source: Contra Celsum 1.67
“In speaking of the Son he says: ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth…’”

2. Psalm 102 → The Son as Creator

If the Word Was God, then that excludes the Father from being God.

If Donald Trump is the president, then Kamala Harris is NOT the president.

If you are someone, then no one else is that someone.

Basic stuff.

Absolutely, so why do you believe the Jesus will come twice?

Logic is one reason.

God brings the law and the law condemns.

God brings grace and forgives those who are repentant.

God works through one flock, the Jews, and they have the law.

God works through another flock, the Church, and they have grace.

God is sovereign. He can unravel his…[Read more]

I think it is better to have a president who is Christian and believes in God than one who is an Atheist or of a religion that promotes violence. We should pray for our leaders and often God gives leaders over the people depending who they deserve. Sometimes, God even allows captivity and genocide.
