A Call for Repentance: An Open Letter from Palestinian Christians to Western Church Leaders and Theologians

“Learn to do right; seek justice; defend the oppressed” (Isa 1:17).

We, at the undersigned Palestinian Christian institutions and grassroots movements, grieve and lament the renewed cycle of violence in our land. As we were about to pub…[Read more]

The Zionist state of Israel founded in 1948 are land grabbers.

DNA testing prove Palestinians are 80% related to ancient Israel.

The Zionist Israelis are not.

DNA testing is illegal in Israel, punishable by imprisonment.

I believe the Zionist state of Israel is anitchrist, may even be the beast of Revelations. They are murderers and liars.

Hi DT,

You: How can this be when in Hebraic tradition the tribal lineage comes from the father and Jesus had no earthly father;

Me: DT, In the early stages of your participation in this thread, I told you that,

I doubt whether you were a Christian, this time I tell you that I doubt whether

YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AT ALL.
SPIRIT!
YOU ARE DEFINITELY…[Read more]

@Gene,

We have two very distinct perspectives on what the “law” is; you believe mankind is under this dictatorship type thumb of God and you better do what he says, or else (fear driven enforcement). I see the Torah (books of the Law) not a series of do’s and don’ts, but as a set of instructions explaining how to live in relation to God and the…[Read more]

Revelation 22:16 “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the ROOT and the OFFSPRING of David, and the bright morning star.”

How can this be when in Hebraic tradition the tribal lineage comes from the father and Jesus had no earthly father; Jesus was conceived of the spirit and not of the “se…[Read more]

@Danny,

You: Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, AND unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Me: Jesus, the son of God, says to worship God…[Read more]

H Gene,

You: Carmel……..Jesse was the,  “SEED”

Me: The above is only in your own personal corrupted bible!

WHERE IN THE BIBLE WE CAN READ SUCH A TERM?

In the meantime read what the bible says:

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the ROOT and the OFFSPRING of David,

and the brig…[Read more]

@desiretruth

Hi desiretruth,

You: Guess the question would be, should you be worshiping both?

Me: Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the…[Read more]

Hi Desire Truth,

As I had said my point in one of my posts, to which you called out because I didn’t speak directly to how “Isa 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Zech 8:20-23; Zech 9:9-10; Zech 14:16 are speaking to the coming Kingdom of God spoken of throughout the NT”, was to show you how the OT does indeed speak in the need of believing in the Messiah in…[Read more]

As always, thank you Gene! I always appreciate your encouraging words. You have given some excellent posts as well!

As always, thank you Gene! I always appreciate your encouraging words. You have given some excellent posts as well!

Carmel……..Jesse was the,  “SEED” that came first, then comes the roots,  and from the roots, spring forth another branch from that same tree and it produced “offsprings” or seeds all from the one and same tree,  and in the case of Jesus and king David that root stock was Jesse.  Just as scripture shows us all, who have the ability to underst…[Read more]

Jodi…….Another excellent post on, Jesus being “the root and offspring of David” , Hope everyone reads it and thinks about, what you have written.

peace and love to you and yours Jodi………gene

Hi Jodi,

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.
I am the root and the offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star.
You: Rhizaroot– a root
that which like a root springs FROM A ROOT, a sprout, shoot

The above Jodi is YOUR CONFUSION!

PRODUCE THE MEANING OF THE ABOVE WITHIN A DI…[Read more]

@Danny,

I said “worship” not “honor”; these are two distinct words, one show reverent devotion and the other is high respect. This verse you quote is a little troubling for me since is says to merely “honor” God; no, what God deserves is our complete devotion

In Matt 4:10 and Luke 4:8 Jesus says, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and him o…[Read more]

@desiretruth

Hi desiretruth,

You: Is your worship about Jesus, God, or the belief in christianity? There can only be one…

Me: I worship both God and His Son Jesus Christ.

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Amen and Amen.

Hi to all

Here is one subject to Devotional

Our Greatest Need: To Grow Up and Become Like Jesus

In His last prayer for His disciples Jesus uttered these words, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me..and the glory which thou ga…[Read more]

Hi Carmel and All,

Trees have roots as in plural.

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning…[Read more]

Danny…….Desire Truth is right on his last post to you brother,  who is your “first love” ,  Remember what Jesus told the church at Ephesus, in revelations. They lost their “first love” for God the Father, and unless they repented, they would lose their standing.

peace and love to you and yours…….gene
